So my friend told me about this clense called The Master Clense. It is a clense where you only drink a mixture of natural spring water, organic lemon juice, and organic cayanne pepper for 2 weeks. It is supposed to get all of the toxins out. I started it a couple of days ago and I can definitely feel the toxins leaving my body. You are supposed to become weak and somewhat delirious at times as the toxins leave. Well I am definitely feeling that. My only problem is, I am worried that if I don't get to the detoxified part soon enough, my concentration will be less than what it should on the day of the exam.

Has anyone tried this clense before? I need to know when my strength and mental faculties will come back to normal.

It is supposed to be a intestine cleanser but something more for people who are trying to clean their bowels.

I wouldn't recommend trying something new during the week before the test.

Even then I am sure you will be fine you didn't add any harmful chemicals or drugs to your body. If it isn't working stop and just resume normal daily habits.

I just have been feeling really weak - like I have no energy. My hands start to tremor and sometimes I pass out and my friends wake me up. I know that you are supposed feel weak and delirious as the toxins leave your body, but I wasn't expecting anything like this. I am just glad that the hunger portion of the clense is over. I passed my last bowel movement 2 days ago, so my intestines are red meat free. Although I have heard that you can store up to 14 lbs of undigested red meat in there, which can cause all sorts of toxins to be released, causing anything from irritable bowel syndrome to fibromyalgia to depression.

But yeah ... maybe I should have waited until after my test. I was just hoping that getting rid of all of the toxins would help my brain function at its fullest.

Yeah if you are feeling really bad please go the Doctor. You spent all this time studying for a huge test so don't sacrifice your health for some toxin cleanser.

you feel weak and delirious because you're eating nothing but water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. You're not taking in calories genius. The reason you feel so much better at the end is cause you're finally allowed to eat, not cause all the magical "toxins" (like calories and vitamins) are leaving your system.

Please stay on this cleanse. I'd rather you not be giving medical advice in the future

Well batch, today is your lucky day cause I'm going to come to your rescue. Your friend may have lied to you (intentionally or unintentionally is for you to decide). Regardless, the formula he gave you is altered. The water (spring or non-spring water or water of any kind) is not supposed to be on the list. Because you have been drinking water, there will be a slight setback but just cut out the water and I'm sure that will speed up the process of cleansing yourself. It is important that you must resist any urge to drink any fluids (besides the lemon juice) or take in any food. Don't worry what your friends say or if people around you try to get you to eat or drink something...they're just jealous and probably want you to screw up on your test. Best of luck.

I heard about this really ancient technqiue and really EFFECTIVE to detoxify...it involves draining your humors. For you I recommend draining the black bile ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism).

I also STRONGLY recommend some blood letting (I am sure your local petstore sells some leeches). If your toxins are blood bourne, you can't have toxins if you have no blood. You may not be able to take the test but at least you will have limited toxins. This was apparently effective for my a random person my cousin's brother's aunt met in rave concert in Sweden.

There are two recipes in the market "Master Cleanse your Bowels" and "Master Cleanse your Brain", which one your friend has recommended? 😛

Hai GUYz I tried this new chocolate, exlax. It's sweet, full of energy, and keeps you going for 8 hrs straight. I took 6 pieces before my test, it's like OTC ritalin. Highly recommend it. Take 12 pieces for added energy.

And the pathway to this "cleansing" is on what page in FA?

Seriously, did you fail your first year of medical school? Because I'm pretty sure there is nothing that backs up this "diet".

I know of at least one student in my class who did this. I really wish they would reconsider giving him an MD. Maybe this particular poster is a troll, but these people exist.

I'm all for a gallbladder cleanse or short term fasting, but not prior to testing and certainly not to eliminate toxins. I'm pretty sure your liver and kidneys have that under control.
