Your Kitchen is Your Juice Fast Medicine Cabinet


Mortar and Pestle with HerbsYou don’t have to be a top chef or pharmacist to realize that your kitchen’s most valuable culinary secrets are the medicinal properties of the herbs. You can bet your grandmother did, as she cooked with Oregano and Basil – both digestive aids as well as herbs with antibiotic properties.

The wonderful Cayenne Pepper, used in the popular Cayenne Pepper Diet and added to many Mexican dishes, is know to speed up the body’s metabolism and helps promote weight loss. This is extremely beneficial for the Juice Fast.

Because of the versatility of kitchen herbs, they are used in a variety of ways as part of a healing diet. Also used as supplements, body care products and creams and salves. Often drank as a tea, you will find your children will readily drink a sweet healing tea rather than a chemical-laden over the counter medicine.

Herbs work gently, and powerfully to nourish your body. The work slower than pharmaceuticals, however they work more directly to bring about balance to the body as a whole. It’s good to know there is a whole arsenal of healing remedies available right in your own kitchen.

Lemon Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper Diet

When first beginning the Cayenne Pepper Diet also referred to as the Lemon Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper Diet, you will see lots of references to Grade B maple syrup. Why the focus on that particular grade?

First, take a look at the syrup bottles in the image. These bottles hold the grades of Vermont maple syrup. From left to right, Vermont Fancy, light amber color, delicate maple bouquet; Grade A Medium Amber, medium amber color, pronounced maple bouquet; Grade A Dark Amber, dark amber color, robust maple bouquet; Grade B, darkest color, strong maple bouquet.

Grade B is recommended for the Cayenne Pepper Diet because is has the strongest flavor and is more dense in nutrients. In truth, Grade A syrup will also work equally well for the cleanse. Don’t get too hung up on the grade of the syrup. The MOST important thing is that it’s pure maple syrup and all natural. If you can get organic, buy it.

Beyonce’s Cayenne Pepper Diet


Lemon Diet Tea You can detoxify your body and lose weight using Beyonce’s cayenne pepper diet. Okay, the diet isn’t really hers, however she has done a lot to popularize it when she mentioned it on Oprah. This regime also isn’t precisely a diet – it’s a detox. You will drink the beyonce cayenne pepper diet drink, made of a mixture of maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and water. This fast lasts 10 days and can help you eliminate years of accumulated crud in your colon. Afterwards, a common question is “what foods can I eat when on the lemon cayenne pepper detox diet?” You must ease off the diet by first drinking orange juice for a day or two, then following up with broth soup. When you finally start eating solid foods, it’s very important that you have thought about a healthy eating plan. Why not? You’ve just kick started your health!

Cayenne Pepper Diet Flush


Pictures 483-polaI’ve heard the Cayenne Pepper Diet also referred to as the Cayenne Pepper Diet Flush, likely referring to the intended goal of detoxifying the body through mobilizing toxins and eliminating them. This cleanse is known by a great many names, so I thought I would list them here. With a few variations, these are essentially the same diet.

  1. Master Cleanse – the original and most widely used name
  2. Cayenne Pepper Diet
  3. Lemon Cleanse
  4. Lemonade Cleanse
  5. Lemonade Diet
  6. Maple Syrup Diet
  7. Juice Cleanse

There are other practices that are related to the Cayenne Pepper Diet but are not cleanses. The Salt Water Flush, for example, is often incorporated into the diet to help move along elimination.

The Lemonade Fast


The Lemonade Fast, adapted from Stanley Burrough’s Master Cleanser Recipe, is quite simple and will leave you with a decent level of energy while your liver and blood stream is being cleansed of toxins. Also known as the cayenne pepper diet or lemonade diet.

Things You’ll Need:

  • Lime Juice
  • Maple Syrups Organic
  • Lemons
  • Lemon juice
  • Cayenne Pepper
  1. Step 1

    Mix together 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 2 tbsp of organic maple syrup and cayenne pepper to taste, per 1 cup of pure filtered water.

  2. Step 2

    You must drink a minimum of six cups of the lemonade during the cleanse. The goal is to cleanse for 10 days, eating no solid foods. You may drink herbal laxative teas and as much water as you want.

  3. Step 3

    Keep your bowels moving with laxative teas in the morning and evening to help your body eliminate the toxins accumulating in your colon as the lemonade cleans your entire system. Taking enemas on the last few days is also highly recommended for clearing out your colon.

  4. Step 4

    Complete the fast by beginning to drink orange juice for two days. This will help your body prepare for the return of solid foods. On the third day, drink orange juice for breakfast, consume some fruit for lunch, then eat fruits and salad for dinner. The next day, resume healthy eating.
