So I was at a Vipassana Meditation 3 day course as a server and had some time to reflect on food consumption and health. So I decided that this was a good time to go on a master cleanse. Now I didn't really know anything about it but was promptly advised by the resident Vegan chef that what I needed was the following - Maple Syrup Medium Grade, Lemon juice and Cayenne Pepper. And that is all you consume for 10 days.

So off I went - It was kinda hard to procure the maple syrup because not too many places sell the right one and it is darn expensive. I settled for PC brand organic Maple Syrup for $12.
Not sure if I will do the full 10 day or just call it quits after the new year. Lets see.
Day 1. Did the salt water flush in the afternoon and was going to the bathroom all evening. But felt pretty good - a few headaches that came and went as I meditated them away. Sleep was quite disturbed. Had to pee several times, endure three fire alarms, chatty and loud next door neighbours, moderate gas and an achy back.
Day 2. Woke up with less of a headache than the day before. Drank a glass of the tonic and mediated. No headache anymore. Had a SWF jar about 11:30 and immediately felt very sick... Laid down and proceeded to shit my pants... Now I feel slightly better though my tummy is still rumbling.
4 more liquid shits
Then bliss...ahhh
Day 3. Feeling amazing - Good physical energy and feeling very 'cleansed' already. Modified the seasalt content of the flush and so had it down to a manageable amount of bathroom time.
Day 4. Great Clarity and Calm. Feeling a little hungry but not for food. Dreams are more lucid and my normal afternoon headaches are reduced to a fraction of their potency.
Day 5. Still feeling great - sad to end the fast as it is only now entering the detox phase but school is starting in a couple days and I want to be eating solids for the 3.5 hr spinning classes that start on friday night
