Cayenne Pepper

[Peter]

Cayenne pepper is such a wonderful herb, I want to share a great web page explaining its virtues. Some people wonder what it does in the Master Cleanse. Here's some information.

OK, I believe you. I am back to putting cayenne pepper in the lemonade. Took day 4 off from the pepper. Good article, and a must read for anyone making lemonade.

I don't have any cayenne pepper at the moment. I started the cleanse today. If I don't use the pepper for the first few days, will that affect the results of the cleanse?

The pepper is very important. Check out Peter's response at the top of this page and go buy the pepper.

If you want to have great results and not end up quiting the fast before the minimum 10 days, then do not alter the directions in any way for the fast. If you do not have a copy of the Master Cleanse book then go to the following website to read it in its entirety:

Follow directions and Good luck!

I like to use a lot of cayenne pepper... Love the taste... But will overdoing the cayenne alter results?? I like to use about 1/2 tsp per glass... My lemonade is pretty red... Does anyone else out there od on the cayenne?? If so what were the results... By the way, everything else is measured out to the T. And I make it 2 glasses at a time, because one glass doesn't usually satisfy me.

In his book, Stanley Burroughs, says on page 18, "1/10th tsp cayenne (red pepper) or to taste." So, add all you want.

My son loves it and put in tons more and had a great result.

I add EXTRA red pepper and love it! What a nice kick!

I love cayenne pepper. I have some growing in the window, waiting for the garden to be warm enough for it. Everytime I drink the lemonade, I am so happy for that burn. I can't wait to have something hot and spicy when I am back to solid food. Some intense veggie dish that blows my head off!

I use the red powder cayenne pepper in a jar from Whole Foods. Â*Is that wrong?

Have to put in my two cents here. I am on day 12 of second long MC, 28 days last year supervised by my wonderful naturopath who recommended I take the cayenne in capsules! Three per day. I have read reports of people suffering the cayenne in their lemonade and guess what! The caps do the trick.

Burn, baby, burn!

Enjoy, Donna
