This is a great fast for cleansing the liver.
I remember the first time I went on this at the same time my husband went on it. He was able to go on it for the full 10 days, I was so impressed at his willpower! I think I lasted about 5 days. It’s pretty hard to feed the kids and stay on a fast for very long for me but I have a friend who was able to do it feeding her children the whole time! WOW!
The pure maple syrup called for can be purchased at Costco, they didn’t have it at Sam’s club when I had a membership there. I think it cost about 17 dollars a quart. Regular syrup from the grocery store with sugar in it that you have with pancakes isn’t what you want. Pure maple syrup is very expensive at the health food store and grocery store when I’ve bought it there before.
Directions for Stanley Burroughs’ Master Cleanse
He suggests staying on the fast for a minimum of 10 days.
(When the tongue is pink and smooth, this is a good indication the body is cleansed.)
INGREDIENTS
2 T Fresh squeezed organic lemon juice or organic lime juice (we have used non-organic as well)
2 T Genuine Pure maple syrup
1/10 tsp. Cayenne pepper (40,000 H.U.)
10 oz Distilled water, warm
Some people use a Laxative herb tea- One tea bag for each day you intend to be on the cleanse.
(Two bags per day if you intend to take the tea each night and morning you are on the cleanse.)
Real salt (sea salt)-Two tsp. for each day you intend to be on the cleanse.
Distilled water-may be taken as desired.
DIRECTIONS:
The night before you begin the cleanse, drink a cup of laxative herb tea. (NOTE: The laxative tea may be taken in the morning in place of the real salt and water.)
First thing the next morning, mix a full quart of luke-warm water and add two level teaspoons of real salt. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Several eliminations will likely occur. (Stay close to a toilet!) This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.
Next, combine the juice, maple syrup, and cayenne in a 10 oz glass and fill with warm water (cold water may be used if preferred.)
Drink from six to twelve glasses of the lemonade daily during the waking period for the duration of the cleanse. We drink distilled water every half hour after the lemonade at the top of the hour. This keeps us from getting hungry if we alternate lemonade, water, lemonade,water every half hour.
Peppermint tea can also be used during this fast. It helps with digestion, cleanses and tones the body.
You feel so much more energy and clarity of mind after finishing the fast. My husband feels like he could go on forever after he has been on the fast for about 3 days. Listen to the Spirit and to your body as to how long you should stay on the fast.

In Paul Bragg’s book, The Miracle of Fasting, he makes this following statement about toxemia or auto intoxication: “I have come to regard auto intoxication as my worst, grimmest foe in the fight for Agelessness and Longevity. It is even more devastating morally than physically. It is mind-poisoning as well as body-poisoning………”
Have you noticed that when you are sick it is difficult to feel the Spirit? The energy and enthusiasm to do what you feel you need to and would like to do is beyond your ability if not also your desire to do at the time. When you feel healthy and strong and have energy to complete all your responsibilities and tasks under the direction of the Spirit, you feel invigorated and it’s easy to feel a lot more gratitude.
Detoxifying the system, as Dr. John Christopher states in his book, School of Natural Healing, ” has the purpose of purifying the human body for healing.”
We use many types of fasting to detoxify the system. I’ll list most of the ones we use in our family.
- In my post, Gallstones & Kidney Stones, I talk about the method of dissolving stones in the system via an apple juice fast, distilled water and extra virgin olive oil. This works equally well for both stones and literally dissolves them and they usually pass after the drinking of the olive oil on the third day. Since poor digestion is the reason we become toxic in the first place, it is essential to clean out the system so the body can assimilate nutrients and eliminate toxins. (People who have problems with Gall Bladder and Stones usually eat large amounts of meats and fatty foods.)
- The next type of fasting is a Distilled Water Fast. In Paul Bragg’s book, The Miracle of Fasting, he suggests that we should fast once a week for 24 hours on distilled water. This would accelerate detoxifying your body to a great degree. You can fast seasonally for 3-7 days on the same, listen to the Spirit and your body. Different people have different opinions. From my reading, in general, over 10 days is hard on your body and unnecessary and is hard on your eliminating organs.
- Another type would be a lemon juice /maple syrup fast. Lemon juice and pure maple syrup contain many vitamins and minerals that help the body cleanse and revitalize itself. This fast is especially good to break up mineral and protein deposits in the body. It is also used for weight loss. This is especially good for cleansing the liver which also would enhance digestion. In his book, The Cancer Therapy, (now called, The Gerson Therapy ) Dr. Gerson says all cancer patients have toxic livers and detoxifying the liver is the key to regaining health. This is a great fast. We feel plenty of energy on this fast. Some people in our family can go on this for the recommended full 10 days and some of us feel a great accomplishment if we can make it from 3 to 5 days.
- Juice Fasting is a great way to detoxify. It is recommended by Dr. N.W. Walker’s book, Raw Vegetable Juices. He suggests not to do this if you have appendicitis or if there is a tendancy towards it. By drinking quarts of fresh, raw juices and eliminating toxic matter through the bowels helps cleanse morbid matter that has accumulated in our natural eliminative channels.
I’ll write separate posts on each of these fasts for those who are interested.
When you complete these fasts weekly (water fasts), or seasonally or biannually, along with a good diet, you’ll notice more energy and less illness.

This remedy works equally well on kidney stones and gall stones. It DISSOLVES the stones! My mother, father in law, and husband as well as numerous friends have used this remedy and have all achieved success!!
My aunt, who has had a colostomy, went on this fast twice and eliminated the majority of her kidney stones. She had a ton of them!
-
2 quarts of apple juice concentrate (from a health food store ONLY) OR juice fresh apples and drink the juice (3 gallons or so, this is what I do)
-
Dilute enough with distilled water to make 3 gallons. In other words, 5 parts water, 1 part concentrate.
-
Drink 12 large glasses/day.
-
Alternate apple juice and distilled water every half hour. So, drink one glass of apple juice and a half hour later drink a glass of distilled water, etc. If you’re consistent with drinking every half hour, it should curb your hunger.
-
Toward the end of the third day, drink 4 oz extra virgin olive oil. And finish the day drinking apple juice.
-
Eat NOTHING else during the three days.
