As I typed out this email response to one of my best buddies about a master cleanse question, I thought I'd post it here for the benefit of any blog followers that read my earlier Master Cleanse post. Let me know if I can offer other specific feedback from my own experience.

Jo,
I got my maple syrup at Whole Foods. Easily the BEST place to get it. It's the most expensive part of the cleanse. $15.99 for 32 oz. (By comparison, the first bottle I bought was 12 oz at Smith's for $9.99) HOWEVER... read on.

I'm possibly changing my tune on the Master Cleanse. Since doing it, I have had to find a pro-biotic (opposite of anti-biotic, literally) to help get my system back to normal. I guess the lemon juice, salt water, etc., is pretty rough on the natural "gut flora" in our intestines and master cleansers have to do something to encourage rebuilding. And to make matters worse (I'm blaming the holidays), I gained back most of the pounds I lost during the cleanse.
Call me CRA-zy, but I'm going to also test out something entirely different called the Fat Flush. It's more sensible. You eat. You just eat a "butt load" of fiber---pardon the term, given the topic. I'll let you know what I learn about it!
Stay tuned, and stay in touch!

Sorry to hear about the stomach issues. I know cleanses are great, but the greatest part of them is the habit it teaches. At least that's what I've heard. Good luck with the Fat Flush. Just careful, bc too much or a butt load of fiber can really irritate your stomach as well.
Thanks, Karla! Good call. I plan to thoroughly study the fat flush before attempting. My cousin & his wife did it successfully and are full of advice. I plan to read a book on it prior. Hope you are well!
I want to know more about this fat flush!!
Usually the best types of flushes are specific to what you are trying to do. I've never heard of a fat flush. However, I have some great recipes for a liver flush or kidney flush, if you ever need one. Definitely keep us posted on this ever adapting adventure into health!
