Hot water, lemon juice, cinnamon & cayenne - question.

So from what I've read, this is what's called the Master Cleanse? (you can correct me if I'm wrong about that!)

Anyway - tried it this weekend and won't ever again (the effects of the half cup of it I drank is STILL affecting me!). Has anyone tried this and has it worked? I will be honest, I had no idea what it was supposed to do (now I do!) - and do not understand why anyone would do this!

I did do that about 8 years ago. If I remember correctly it is a 10 day cleanse. I went in to it thinking I could make it through about 5 days. I did make it through 5 days but it was miserable the entire time and I never once saw any health benefits from it. I also remember I couldn't drink it with cayenne in it because it doesn't dissolve, it just sits and floats on top of the water and burns the @#$% out of your stomach/mouth/throat. I took cayenne pills and swallowed them with the drink.

Yeah it sucked....BAD. I would never attempt it again.

Sounds effing awful and won't do jack.

Try warm water with lemon juice in the morning. Tastes nice, refreshing and aids digestion.
