Over 70 years ago, the Master Cleanse was developed by Stanley Burroughs and it was re-promoted by Peter Glickman’s on his website in 2003. It wasn’t popular until it was promoted by Beyonce Knowles on the Ellen DeGeneres show who claimed that she lost 20 pounds on the diet. Since then a number of celebrities have used the diet and Glickman’s book has been showcased in the New York Times, NBC Today and CBS News.
When Stanley Burroughs developed the Master Cleanse, it was originally designed as a detox program. In contrast, the modern press has focused on the ability of the diet to shed pounds.
The Master Cleanse diet is relatively simple and consists of three steps. In the morning, you drink 2 teaspoons of salt dissolved in a quart of water. During the day, you drink 6 to 12 lemonade cocktail which is made from spring water, fresh squeezed lemon juice, organic maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The exact recipe is:
- 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
- 2 tablespoons grade-B organic maple syrup.
- 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- 10 ounces filtered water.
In the evening, you drink a herbal laxative. No solid food is allowed on the diet.
After 4 to 14 days, you slowly reintroduce food beginning with vegetable soup, then fresh fruit and vegetables.
During the detox you will develop side effects as the toxins are removed from you body. This can include irritability, cravings, tiredness, nausea, aches and pains, headaches and hot bowel movements.

The Aqua Detox foot bath is a method of detoxifying the body and re-balancing the energy systems. It essentially involves the client placing their feet in a foot bath filled with salt water and a gentle electrical current is applied to the water. As the toxins are released from the pores in the feet, the water begins to change to a brown color.
The feet is an ideal location to remove toxins. It contains over 2000 pores – more than any other equivalent area of the body.
The method works by producing positive and negative ions in the water. These ions attract the toxins which cause them to be released through the feet. The Aqua Detox bath can not only detoxify the body, it also stimulates the lymph system, balances the energy forces in the body and improves the ability of the body to extract energy from you food. These outcomes mean that you will have improve energy, better mood and sleep soundly at night.

-Re-balances the pH of the blood
You can purchase an Aqua Detox system yourself but this can be expensive. Another option is to visit a natural medicine clinic where you take sessions on the system. A typical session will last around 30 minutes and will cost about $60 to $80. The body will continue to remove the toxins up to 48 hours after treatment.
As with most detox methods, you will need constant use in order to get the best benefits from the system. It is recommended that you have 4 to 6 six treatments over as many weeks. After that, monthly sessions are recommended.

Foot detox pads are a product which helps the body cleanse itself while you are asleep. They are simply pads that are placed on the bottom of your feet at night where they are able to access reflexology points. By energizing these points the pads stimulate the lymph system so that it can more effectively remove toxins from the blood and organs. Some of these toxins are sweated out of your feet during the night which cause a discoloration on the pads.
Most foot detox pads are made from materials like bamboo vinegar which absorbs toxins and tourmaline, a type of stone, which sends out ions to helps with absorption. The pads can be worn on other parts of the body, if you desire, and if you are after a really deep cleanse, they can be worn during the day and night.
Many people report that their energy and motivation levels increase after using these pads for 2 to 4 weeks. It is not uncommon for people to report that their sleep has improved and old injuries have healed despite years of treatment by conventional methods. In general, you should have seen benefits from these pads within 30 days of constant use.
The discoloration on the pads in the morning can vary from light brown to dark brown depending on how many toxins are in your body and how slow your lymph system is. The more you use the pads the lighter the color will become as the lymph system continues to work better and there are less toxins inside the body. If you don’t see a dark brown when you first start using the pads and you have systems of toxicity, it is likely that your lymph system is chronically slow rather than working normally. It is suggested that you use the pads during the day and night.
Foot detox pads are not expensive with most retailing for under $10. This makes them one of the cheapest and easiest ways to do detox with the body and cleanse the organs.

Heavy metals exist throughout our modern environment and if the levels of these metals rise to to high we can suffer from various symptoms and disorders. Heavy metal poisoning contributes to and even causes problems like autism, mood disorders like anxiety and depression, aching bones, forgetfulness, skin and nail discoloration, sensitivity to chemicals and chronic fatigue. Some researchers have estimated that 50 percent of Americans have too much heavy metal in their system.
The most common cause of heavy metal poisoning is pollution, environmental contamination and dental fillings. If you have dental fillings that are made from mercury, some believe that the mercury can leak into your body’s system through your mouth. A possible source of aluminum contamination is deodorants with many products using it as their active ingredient. Besides mercury, the other heavy metals that are often found in people’s blood tests include arsenic, beryllium, lead and cadium.
Heavy Metal Detox
There are a number of methods that can be used to cleanse heavy metal from the body.
The first one is sauna therapy. Sweating can actually be more effective at removing toxins from the body than through the body normal processes. Just 20 minutes in a sauna is the equivalent of your kidneys working for 24 hours. If you are going to use their method heavily, you should take a electrolite drink and a mineral supplement to replace the minerals and water removed from the body through sweating.
Another method is to consume herbs that can absorb and remove the metal toxins from the body. These herbs include chlorella, cilantro, garlic, chlorophyll and fish oil.
There are also specific heavy metal cleansing products that are available. These can include chelating agents such as magnesium malate or malic acid, N-acetylcysteine (N-A-C) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA).
