The program is touted to re-energize the body, expel toxins and induce weight loss. The only nourishment you take during this program is a lemonade concoction made from lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water.

  Prepare a salt water flush each morning of the detoxification cleansing program. This flush will eliminate waste from your bowels. Mix 1 to 2 tsp. of organic sea salt, not iodized salt, with 25 to 35 oz. of warm water in a large glass. Stir well and drink the entire solution. Salt water flushes are recommended in the morning before the lemonade concoction to effectively empty your stomach and bowels.

  Cut the lemon in half with the knife. Juice each half on a hand juicer to extract the lemon juice. Add the lemon juice to a drinking glass or cup.

Imbibe from six to 12 glasses of the lemonade mixture each day for up to 10 days. The mixture is your nourishment and energy source.
