Laxative teas and sea salt water

After the first day or two on an all-liquid diet like the Lemon Detox Diet, the body most likely will not produce a bowel movement.

However, while cleansing, it is important to try to have at least a couple of bowel movements a day. To assist with this, a mild laxative herbal tea is recommended. Drink one cup of tea in the evening before bed and the sea salt water in the morning.

Some people find that certain laxative teas induce cramps, so be sure to start with a mild brew when trying it for the first time.

Sea salt-water drink…

As it is necessary to bathe the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside.

The sea salt-water drink will produce a bowel movement because its salinity level is similar to the salinity of our body. Several eliminations will likely occur within the hour.

The sea salt-water drink is such a great laxative.

When mixing the sea salt-water drink (two teaspoons dissolved in one litre of warm water), make sure to use uniodized sea salt and not table salt!

 You should try and drink as much of the 1 litre drink as possible.

Finally make sure you stay near a restroom for the next hour.

If the taste of the salt water is uncomfortable for you, you can substitute it for another cup of the herbal laxative tea instead.

Drink the sea salt water first thing in the morning.

ELIMINATION - The Key To Success

Eliminating the toxins in your body is the key to a successful diet.

Elimination is the transportation of this waste out of the body. The better the elimination, the better the results.

Waste in your body that is not continuously removed will be reabsorbed through your system.

We recommend you drink at least 1-2 litres of water in addition to the Lemon Detox drink, to effectively flush the system.

The more fluid in your system the less concentrated the dissolved toxins will be on your eliminative organs.

Any problems which occur during the Lemon Detox Diet are usually the result of inefficient elimination.

Brushing your skin and light exercise are also a great complement to the Lemon Detox Diet.

Skin brushing

Approximately 10% of body elimination occurs through the skin.

Skin brushing facilitates skin cleansing by stimulating the system to eliminate toxins through the skin.

Many toxic substances are eliminated through the skin. Lightly brushing the skin with a dry brush stimulates blood and circulation.

Use a soft bristle brush. Start brushing at your feet and brush towards the heart, since it is important to follow the flow of lymphatic fluid.

Instructions
1. Use a long handled natural bristle brush. You can find one at the health food store. If you are unable to find one, use a loofah sponge.
2. Start at the soles of your feet. Using light pressure, brush in small circles from the legs towards the chest, palms of the hands towards the chest, and then the back towards the abdomen. Finish with the scalp.
3. Avoid the face, breasts, and other sensitive areas. Skin brushing can be done in the morning or evening by itself or before a contrast shower

 

Concluding the program

Since the digestive system has been resting for five to ten days, treat it carefully and considerately at the conclusion of the Lemon Detox Diet program. The transition from The Lemon Detox drink to regular food has to be undergone steadily.

The most common mistake is to eat too much too soon.

Gradually return to balanced eating over two or three days.
Day 1 after the detox: Stick with fresh squeezed fruit juices.

Day 2 after the detox: Start the morning with juice and then try some pureed vegetable soup for lunch.

Day 3 after the detox: Steamed or raw vegetables. Do not eat any meat, fish, eggs, bread and sweets and do not drink soft drinks during the first three days.

Day 4 after the detox: Start eating "normally" again.

If you are coming off a shorter version of the diet you should be able to do so in one day but listen to your body. You will know if you are coming off too fast. Take your time. You will probably notice that your taste buds are much more alive after cleansing and you will really enjoy the taste and energy of juices, soups, and vegetables.

It is up to you if you would like to continue to drink the Lemon Detox drink while returning to “balanced” eating.

Below is an example of a gradual return to normal eating after concluding the Lemon Detox Diet program. Keep in mind, although that you have completed your desired detox program there may still will be toxins circulating in your system and the elimination process is still in process. The white coating on your tongue may still be visible at the conclusion of your program.

As you return to “balanced” eating over the next few days you still will be detoxing at a slower rate. Many people take advantage at this time and choose to introduce a “relaxed version” or a “once a week” version coming off the “standard” or “optimum version” of the program.


Day one

Start the day with a glass of the Lemon Detox drink and one orange.
Mid morning: Fresh orange juice.
Lunch: Fruit or vegetable juice.
Tea: Fruit juice or a glass of the Lemon Detox drink.
Supper: Fresh pureed vegetable soup

Day two

Start the day with a glass of the Lemon Detox drink and one orange.
Mid morning: Fresh orange juice
Lunch: Vegetable soup and fresh fruit
Tea: Fruit juice or a glass of the Lemon Detox drink.
Supper: Steamed vegetables, brown rice and salad.
You may also have any herbal teas without caffeine during the day.

Day three

Any breakfast cereal (porridge with Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup is delicious) with one spoon of Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup, and one orange.
Mid morning: Fresh orange juice.
Lunch: Roasted vegetables and fresh fruit
Tea: Fruit juice
Supper : Vegetable soup, brown rice and fruit salad.

You may also have herbal tea without caffeine during the day.

Day four

From the fourth day you’ll be ready to eat “normally” again.

During the first three days, do not eat any meat, fish, eggs, bread and sweets.
Do not drink soft drinks, caffeinated tea or coffee.

One of the delightful side effects of The Lemon Detox Diet is a heightened awareness of the sensations of taste and smell. By the time you’re ready to eat solid food again, your intensified appreciation of the subtleties of taste, texture and fragrance will make this simple experience so much more delectable. Savour the moment.

 

The challenge

The main challenge of the Lemon Detox Diet is mental. With any type of diet we need to be mentally prepared to change our eating habit even for only a short period of time. Because we are so adapted to eating whenever and whatever we like, the discipline of going on a liquid diet without solids can seem a bit overwhelming.

Some people, when thinking about detoxing for the first time imagine that they won’t be able to make it through seven days but what most people find is that after the second day it just gets easier and easier.

A true fast is a complete restraint from food of any kind, yet the Lemon Detox is liquid food - nourishing and energizing your body with simple and natural carbohydrates. It is important not to burden the body with solid food during the detox. Digesting solid food consumes much of the body's energy and reduces the effectiveness of many of its other tasks. In the short absence of solid food the body can focus its energy on cleansing.

When you experience hunger simply treat yourself to another Lemon Detox drink. This will satisfy your hunger. Keep thinking of all the benefits you will have achieved once you have finished the Lemon Detox Diet.

Having a friend or partner with you on the diet will help you motivate in reaching your personal goals.

Another advantage of being on the diet is that you will have a lot of extra time on your hands. If we calculate how many hours of each day we spend buying and preparing food, as well as eating and cleaning up afterwards, it is amazing how much time we devote to food consumption. You will also notice that you will be saving hundreds of dollars on food and alcohol by the end of the week and in the long term you could be saving thousands of dollars on food and drinking as most people will kick their bad habits and introduce a better diet and eating patterns.

The Lemon Detox Diet will give you more time to do the things you enjoy. Go out and enjoy the positive effects of the diet.

Symptoms

No detox program comes without some discomfort, and you may experience various cleansing symptoms whilst on the Lemon Detox Diet program.

There are some normal symptoms that will occur during the Lemon Detox Diet.

Vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, feeling cold sometimes occur when you undergo detox. Many of these symptoms arise from not keeping hydrated. Symptoms will usually persist if the elimination process is not productive and bowel movements are lacking. Proper elimination ensures toxins are well on their way to being eliminated from your body. The more fluid in your body the better the elimination process will be as it is the fluid that caries away all of the dissolved toxins in your body and this ensures that the waste material will not be too concentrated in the organs of elimination. Supplementary fluid also keeps the body hydrated during the cleanse. As soon as the toxins have left the body, balance is restored.

However if the symptoms last longer than a few days you should consult a medical practitioner.

In past results, people with symptoms found the first few days to be the most trying. As wastes are eliminated, your body will regain its natural strength and vitality. Most people notice by the third or fourth day that they feel more energetic, clear minded, and more balanced than they have in years. The majority of people on the Lemon Detox Diet program are able to go about their daily work and duties without any apprehension. The more rest you can allow whilst on the Lemon Detox Diet program the more efficiently the program will work.

The Lemon Detox Diet is a liquid food which helps nourish the body during the cleanse. Rest and take things easier if necessary. Persevere for the full duration of the Lemon Detox Diet program; don’t give in and treat yourself by eating sweets or snacking, as this will only compromise the success of the Lemon Detox Diet.

Low blood pressure
Those people with low blood pressure should activate the circulation by means of a short gymnastic exercise routine, some yoga poses, stretching, splashing the whole body with cold water after a hot shower, stimulating the skin with a brush or drinking a cup of tea. We always advise that if you do have a medical concern to consult your doctor prior to participating in any detox or weight loss program

 

Unique Origins:

The Lemon Detox Diet program was originally introduced more than 50 years ago by the highly successful and legendary specialist, Stanley Burroughs. At this time the abundant grade B maple syrup alone was only used in the detox program. In the early 1980’s, with the advancement of technology and research, The Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ was developed with the experience, advice and help of Stanley Burroughs by a world wide specialist team led by Swiss Specialist K.A. Beyer, including five other dedicated specialists from around the globe. Through thousands of development tests and 5 intensive years of research, the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ was created to replace maple syrup in the original drink. They found that maple syrup alone did not fully support the cleansing process and determined that while it was so important to cleanse the body, that it was just as important to provide the body with the high levels of energy during the cleanse. The body receives its nourishment from the natural carbohydrates present in the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup. The end result is a finely balanced mixture, meeting all the requirements for The Lemon Detox Diet. For over 60 years now, the Lemon Detox Diet program is being used successfully by hundreds of thousands of people around the world to eliminate toxic build-up and help  restore an improved lifestyle. And something more was observed - those who were overweight experienced remarkable weight loss. The Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ is a combination of various Southeast Asian palm syrups with one part pure Canadian grade-C maple syrup. The syrup is collected by traditional methods then processed and hot-packed in a modern facility in Canada. It is 100% natural and does not contain any stabilizers. The saps are harvested without harming the trees and with total care for the environment. They are blended to a specific formula and then put into cans. No preservatives are added and no chemical processes are applied The cleansing, weight loss and other claimed health benefits occur as a result of undertaking the whole Lemon Detox Diet program. The food products will provide nutrients for nourishment while undertaking the Lemon Detox Diet program. The Madal Bal Tree Syrup, bee pollen or other food products sold in conjunction with the Lemon Detox Diet program do not, when consumed by themselves, make you lose weight and do not provide any health benefits.

Palm Syrup:

The primary ingredient in the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ is the palm syrup. The production of palm syrup is painstaking, involving the cutting of the tree's flowering fruit stems a little each day. The sap is then harvested from the stem. This delicate, laborious task effectively condenses the most potent life force of the plant, the sap that would otherwise have become the fruit of the tree (coconuts for instance). This sap is then heated over an open fire, gently concentrating the syrup to avoid fermentation. Among the hundreds of varieties of palm trees that grow in the tropics, there are only a few that are especially beneficial to man. The Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ uses sap from several Southeast Asian palm species, including the Coconut Palm, the Arenga and Kitul Palms of the rainforests, the Nipah Palm of the swamps and marshes, and the Palmyra Palm of northern Sri Lanka. Palm syrup stands out because of its level of potassium, and was added to the original program to help increase energy on the Lemon Detox Diet program. Development tests show that palm syrup is abundant in minerals such as potassium and calcium, which is ideal for the Lemon Detox programme. Madal Bal uses only palm syrup produced on small family farms, using techniques introduced and monitored by international aid workers. This intensive form of production is certainly more expensive than large-scale plantation methods, but it ensures the highest-quality syrup, and helps local community development by supporting family-based enterprise. The cleansing, weight loss and other claimed health benefits occur as a result of undertaking the whole Lemon Detox Diet program. The food products will provide nutrients for nourishment while undertaking the Lemon Detox Diet program. The Madal Bal Tree Syrup, bee pollen or other food products sold in conjunction with the Lemon Detox Diet program do not, when consumed by themselves, make you lose weight and do not provide any health benefits.

Maple Syrup:

While on one side of the planet in the hot conditions of South East Asia, extracting the finest selected palm syrup, on the other side of the planet in the opposing depths of the cold snow, the extraction of the finest Grade C maple syrup is taking place. The one part Grade C maple syrup used in the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup is only available 4-6 weeks in the year. Harvesting the sap is a cold and arduous task. At this time the forests are still covered by several feet of snow. Maple trees must be about 40 years old before they can be tapped. The bird's-eye maple, one of over 75 varieties of maple tree, only produces sap during a period of four to six weeks during March and April at the start of the Canadian spring. The amount of work that is carried out in this short period of time is phenomenal to keep up with world wide demand for the produce. There are three categories of sap identifiable by their colour. The first phase of the harvest is the most abundant and contains more sugars and fewer minerals. This is called Harvest A, and is of a light amber colour and widely used in cookery. Harvest B is the middle phase and is used as a sweetener in the specialist food market and is of medium amber colour. Harvest C is the final collection of the year and has the smallest yield. The sap is dark amber in colour and of superior quality; it is highly concentrated, less sweet and with the highest mineral content. The sap is turned into syrup by means of water evaporation. Every morning the sap is collected from buckets hung on the trees. It is carried to a building where the fluid is heated over a wood fire until it reaches the consistency of syrup. To prevent the syrup from spoiling, the sap is concentrated. It requires 40-50 gallons of sweet sap to obtain one gallon of the final product. This is the amount that one large tree produces in one year. Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ uses only the dark grade C maple syrup, which is the least refined and richest in essential minerals. One of the key components of the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ is its richness  minerals. Maple syrup is rich in manganese and zinc, two minerals that are almost non existent in palm syrup. On the other hand, palm syrup contains large quantities of potassium and calcium. Combining these minerals is extremely important to the body whilst cleansing. When mixed in the right proportions, we get the unique Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup with a rich mineral content. The maple and palm syrups are unified together to produce the secret formula that even we distributors cannot obtain, and these rare selected saps from different parts of the world have provided us with the unique formula for nourishment of the body during the Lemon Detox program. The cleansing, weight loss and other claimed health benefits occur as a result of undertaking the whole Lemon Detox Diet program. The food products will provide nutrients for nourishment while undertaking the Lemon Detox Diet program. The Madal Bal Tree Syrup, bee pollen or other food products sold in conjunction with the Lemon Detox Diet program do not, when consumed by themselves, make you lose weight and do not provide any health benefits.

You have done your mind, body and spirit a great service by completing the Lemon Detox Diet. You have cleansed your body, lost excess weight, and increased your fortitude and will-power. Having cleansed the internal system, you should now concentrate on maintaining a healthy diet.

There are many different ideas as to the appropriate diet to follow on a permanent basis: fat-free diets, all-protein diets, zone diets, etc.… There is no one diet that is right for everyone. Different body types have different requirements. However, there are certain basic principles that we believe are important to follow on any diet.

Try to keep down the amounts of processed foods that you eat. Processed sugars, refined foods, and saturated fatty foods all can have a detrimental effect on the body, as can alcohol and too much caffeine. Listen to your body and try to stick with natural, whole foods. Try eating lots of fresh vegetables and experiment with different combinations until you find the right long-term nutritional plan for you.

Maintaining with the help of a pollen supplement

The cleansing process is followed by the recovery stage.

All weight loss can be put back on later through bad diet or poor eating habits, so it is recommended that these be changed. Occasionally a post-dieter might have irrational cravings because of a lack of minerals, which can come about through not eating a wholesome general diet.

If you want to obtain the maximum benefits from the Lemon Detox Diet it is recommended that you take a natural food supplement for a period of time, and pollen is most ideal for this.
