Lemon Juice

The Master Cleanse has a lot of hype to it…it has been around since the late 1940’s, and heaps of websites offer opinions and ideas about the program. Ashley and I decided to try it, and we started on it a couple days ago. The basic idea is a cleansing/fast that lasts ten days. All I can consume during that time is water and a mixture that is made by combining two litres of water with 14 tablespoons of maple syrup and 14 tablespoons of lemon juice. Top it off with a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper and shake well. MMMM.
Love to hear anyone’s comments on it. I am on day two now-but none of the promised “innards cleaning” has happened yet. For me. Ash is off it already because it wasn’t quite working for her as expected. She is fine. I am a little bit hungry…but I think it is mostly mental and habitual hunger pangs.

Location

Maybe you can find this on Google Earth…I haven’t tried yet.
66 Burrell Road-Waiheke Island-Auckland-New Zealand-1081
The island is absolutely gorgeous-you are always only one summit away from the shore-and the views are breathtaking.
The bays and harbors are regularly dotted with anchored sailboats and small cruisers, even some fancy yachts, all of which is directly below the deck of the flat we are staying in during the week.
It is quite hilly, and as the main road curves across the island, each village blends into the next, separated by mudflats and modest homes. There are so many walks on the island that I doubt we will be able to take even half of them, but they are very well maintained and marked, as New Zealand’s Department of Conservation is quite good at protecting natural areas-at least to my eye.
