What is the recipe for the detox drink?

What is a good homemade detox drink recipe?

  • Answer:

    Yes, we've got our kidneys and then man gave us nitrates and phosphates and lead, cadmium and arsenic, pollution in our air, water and food, herbicides and pesticides... and on. Our organs are screaming for detox. They can not handle the load. Don’t believe me?? Go get a test at your local naturopath. YOU WILL BE FULL OF THE FOULEST HEAVY METALS AND TOXINS! So we do need to do something. I am a huge fan of something that has been around for decades and I've used this since the 70s, always ending up feeling so much better, and now that I'm older I even feel the benefits more intensely. It's called the Master Cleanse. NO, it's not called Beyonce's lemonade diet. It's NOT a diet!!! It's a cleanse. The Master Cleanse Lemonade The lemonade is prepared by mixing the ingredients in this free recipe: 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use organic lemons, fresh, not bottled juice. Limes may be substituted. Lemon zest and pulp may be added, making sure that the lemons are organic and not artificially colored or treated with pesticides 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. This must be pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, Grade B, which has more color and nutrients than Grade A 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Water. 8 ounces, preferably spring water, but not tap water or chlorinated water. Drink 6-8 glasses minimum each day. You can do this once a week if you want or do it twice a year, spring and fall for 6-10 days, or I like to do it until I don't feel better. I usually get a sense of increased energy and perkiness and then around 6-7th day I feel like it's time to move on. But I add back foods very slowly, starting with veggies and fruits and maybe some rice. Then each day I add a food group back as I feel the need, trying to stay as 'clean' as I can. I stay away from 'white' things like white sugar, white flour and processed foods for as long as I can. Do not use honey in the lemonade. Do NOT take any kind of supplements or vitamin pills or using illicit drugs. You shouldn’t smoke or drink alcohol, coffee, tea, cola, but the good news is that your cravings for them usually completely disappear. No other food or drink should be consumed at all. To you eliminating, I'd take some Trifala (triphala) capsules which work very well. Find it in a health food store. The best book for a good eating and living plan I've ever found (I'm on my third copy of the book ) is Staying Healthy with the Seasons, by Elson Haas. http://www.amazon.com/Staying-Healthy-Seasons-Elson-Haas/dp/1587611422/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223643663&sr=8-1 And this is a great nutritional guide that no home should be without if you really care about what you eat. http://www.amazon.com/Staying-Healthy-Nutrition-21st-Century/dp/1587611791/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223643663&sr=8-2 Here is a video that sort of walks you through making a big batch of the stuff. It's kind of interesting if you don't know anything about this.

Your body has a detox system built right in. It's called your kidney and all you have to do to activate it is drink water. For solids that you may have accidentally injested, activated charcoal will do the trick.

Warm water, 2 tbsp. real lemon juice, a pinch of cheyenne pepper, 1 tbsp maple syrup. Cleans the liver & kidneys out.

behatmewad has the right answer. I was taught in pharmacology that alcohol is an extreme diuretic. This can causes a loss of water from the cells. If you watch a group of people at a table drinking you will notice that once they start going to the bathroom to urinate, it becomes more and more frequent. They are actually losing more liquid than they are taking in. A hangover is simply the result of dehydrating the body, especially the brain. (The cigarettes smoked won't help the mouth any either!) Folks who say they have no hangover the morning after, either drink their water, take Alka-seltzer, take asprin with a glass of water, or do not urinate before laying down. The pills don't matter it is the water that counts. (If you don't urinate before bedding down, as the alcohol's diuretic wears off the water in the bladder is send back for use by the very dry body!) No, whiskey and water don't work! The morning after can be helped more by water drinking than anything else.

Detox is about getting rid of the toxins in your body and getting in the needed minerals and vitamins. Take a blender and mix together fresh fruits and vegetables. Anything that's green is very good for detox.

The area to be detoxified will indicate what method is best. Also detoxification can be for alcohol, drugs, or normal wastes that your body creates. Your question wasn't specific. Various methods for eliminating toxic substances from the body include the modification of the diet and addition of certain herbs and rituals such as colon hydrotherapy, body cleansing, juice fasting, and saunas. All of these methods are claimed to assist the body's natural detoxification process, but none have been proven.

1/4 C black strap molasses 1/4 C honey ginger-powdered works fine 2 green tea bags 1/4 C lime juice 8 C water Heat water, ginger and teabags in microwave for 5 minutes. After very warm, add remaining items. Stir until disolved. Drinking warm is ideal, looks like coffee. It is decaffinated, and tastes GREAT!

This always works for me.... Chop about 4 tablespoons of parsley and steep in boiling water (covered) for at least 10-15 minutes. Parsley is a fabulous diuretic and is extremely healthy for the body during detoxification! Hope this helps.
