The Lemon Detox Diet is a drink consisting of the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™, fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper and pure water.
All of these ingredients are necessary in completing a successful program.

• Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ - The most important ingredient. A combination of the purest South East Asian palm syrups and Canadian grade C maple syrup. The natural tree syrup gives us energy during the cleanse in the form of an easily digestible carbohydrate and the palm syrup adds a rich mineral content.
• Lemon Juice - Lemons have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal value. The acidity of the lemon juice has an alkalizing effect on the body helping it to break down fats and mucus. Lemon juice also adds a tremendous amount of antioxidants and vitamin C.
• Cayenne Pepper - Cayenne pepper is great metabolizer assisting with the cleansing effects of the lemon juice. Cayenne pepper adds a nice zing to the drink, but more importantly it also helps dissolve built up mucus. It adds heat to the system and thus stimulates circulation, helping the blood reach remote areas of the body, so important for effective cleansing and elimination. It is also a good source of Vitamin A and C.
• Pure water - The use of clean, pure water carries all of the ingredients through the body, giving the body an internal bath and carries away all of the released wastes and toxins. It also keeps the body hydrated during the detox.

To make one glass of the Lemon Detox drink
• One tablespoon (or 20 ml) of Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™.
• One tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about half a lemon).
   Use fresh lemons, not lemon drink or concentrate.
• Half a pinch of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste).

Mix the ingredients and dilute with at least 250ml of water.

If you prefer you can prepare one batch of the Lemon Detox drink to last for the whole day.
For a 2 Litre batch (approx.6-9 glasses), which is the recommend daily intake of the Detox drink;
• 140ml of Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™,
• 3 ½ freshly squeezed lemons
• 2 - 3 pinches of the Cayenne Pepper.
Mix the above ingredients with water to make a 2 litre batch. The amount of lemon juice should be approximately the same amount as the Natural Tree Syrup in the mix.

You may drink the Lemon Detox drink cold, room temperature or warm

During the standard and optimum detox programmes, drink as much as you like. Ideally 6 to 9 glasses a day or whenever you feel hungry. People who are very physically active whilst on the program may increase their daily intake or add more syrup to the mix.

Remember that the Lemon Detox Drink is liquid food, both nourishing and energizing. It provides the body with the required minerals and nutrients whilst on the programme.

Fluid intake is the key to the program. The detox drink will satisfy your hunger and give you energy.

For optimum results we recommend that you do not eat any solid foods on the standard and optimum programs.

The ‘relaxed’ version allows you to eat solids but will take you much longer to cleanse. 80% of customers will do the standard or optimum version

We recommend you drink at least 1-2 litres of water in addition to the lemon detox drinks. Drink the laxative tea in the evening and the sea salt water drink in the morning.

If you feel the need for variety, then once or twice a day you can drink a cup of herb tea or freshly squeezed citrus juice (orange or grapefruit). Peppermint, rosehip and chamomile teas are useful complements to the Lemon Detox drink and make a nice contrast. Peppermint tea especially supports the cleansing process, offers relief from headaches, cleanses the palate and neutralizes any mouth or body odours that may arise. Teas and juices should only be sweetened with the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™, if at all, and do not use or add any dairy products

The single most important part of a detox program is not eating solid food. Some people worry at the prospect of going without solid foods, yet such fears are groundless. Not eating may sound daunting, but it is much easier than you think. The Lemon Detox Diet is a health program, not a fast. A true fast is complete abstinence from food of any kind. The Lemon Detox drink, however, is a liquid food, nourishing and energising.

It is very important not to burden the body with solid food during the Lemon Detox program, as it hinders the cleansing process and reduces its effectiveness. Most detox diets that promise an internal cleanse whilst still consuming food will not do as well as complete abstinence from food. Here's why:

Food contains chemicals and additives, so consuming it will add more toxins during a fast. This hinders your ability to release the accumulated toxic build-up present in your body.

Eating requires a lot of energy to digest, assimilate, and eliminate. This is energy intensive, and your body is not able to rest and restore. When you stop eating, your whole body is at rest, promoting homeostasis (metabolic rest) and reducing the production of metabolic waste. This is when healing takes place and hormone balance is restored.

When you stop eating, your body goes into a fasting mode called autolysis (self-ingestion), a process where it burns off diseased or damaged cells and fat for fuel. Amino acids are extracted from tired and damaged cells, resynthesized and re-used. The old cells are thus effectively disposed of and the formation of new cells is sped up. However, the body will never consume or damage its own essential tissues or vital organs.

Meanwhile, the eliminative organs (lungs, liver lymphatic system, kidneys and skin) are themselves cleansed, ensuring the rapid expulsion of accumulated metabolic wastes. This very process is used to treat morbid growths such as tumours, abscesses, and fibroids. This causes rapid expulsion of metabolic waste in the cells and promotes new cell formation. In short, your body becomes rejuvenated

The Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup & lemon drink fulfils all the important functions of the cleansing programme.

• The Lemon Detox drink supplies the nutrients necessary for the body’s continuing alert functioning, helping to restore the biochemical and mineral balance in tissues and cells and expediting cell regeneration.

• It is quickly and easily assimilated into the bloodstream, freeing the energy of the body used for digestion to other tasks such as detoxification and cell regeneration. The drink supplies very little protein, further aiding the elimination process.

• It provides a liquid medium essential for the efficient flushing of waste from the system.

• The ascorbic acid in the lemons assists the cleansing process, acting as an internal detergent to dissolve excess fats.

• The cayenne helps speed up metabolism promoting circulation and elimination, dissolves the phlegm, and regenerates the blood. A good source of Vitamins A and C, which complement the nutritional value of the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup and the lemons.
