a little bit of cayanne pepper
a little bit of water
a little bit of laxative tea
a little bit of time
a little bit of hunger pains

I've been speculating on this cleanse for awhile. It would seem like you get sugar from the maple syrup, which is the main form of energy that your body uses. You've got the citric acid in lemon- well I'd think your stomach would be acidic enough without food in it. At least the vitamin c (ascorbic acid) is probably helpful. Then cayenne pepper which stimulates your tissues. According to Chinese medicine you should actually avoid this is your energy is blocked because it will work something like coffee- pick you up and drop you (you get a surge of what energy you already have, but then it's all used up).
So what I wonder is, how does this all add up to an effective cleanse? I've seen people survive it, but from what I've seen they get more from the fact that they managed to do it than the actual physical results of doing it.

if you want info on how it works/how the ingredients work, it's pretty easy to find on google. i can't give you too much first hand info though, because i stopped after 2 days (in the middle of school isn't the best time for me to be straving my brain/body of calories)

well, as a matter of fact, I googled it right after I typed that.
results: it's a placebo. there's nothing special about the ingredients. what's special is to stop putting crap ass food into your body and start eating more mindfully.

I've never imagined it's true, that our digestive system is intrinsically flawed and can only be repaired by squirting everything out for a few days.
Of course, it's not good or natural to continuously keep the body stuffed with food the way we do, either. Happy Holidays!

Yeah- maybe it's all bullshit- but it's good to fast once in a while and give the body a rest from digestion.
