Celebrities and Cleansing
Colon Hydrotherapy
Word
has it that Ben Affleck,
Courtney Love, Andie Macdowell, Janet Jackson, Cindy Crawford, Alicia Silverstone, and Liv Tyler
are all regulars at their local colonic irrigation clinic. So what is it that keeps bringing these stars back for more?
If you're on this site you probably know that weight loss is a happy side effect of cleansing, so much so that in Hollywood circles it has become common to go for a cleanse before big awards shows or Oscar night!
These celebrities are after more than rejuvenated skin and a lift in energy - they want the quick and healthy weight loss that often accompanies cleansing.
Celebrity Spa Resorts
Obviously stars like Ben Affleck and Janet Jackson don't just pop into the local clinic like we do - they go to the exclusive spa resorts and holistic health care centers.
The We Care holistic health center in Palm Springs, California is a good example. Charging at least $2500 for a week in its private grounds, this clinic offers 3-day, 5-day and 8-day retreats to those pampered celebs. Guests are placed on a strict liquid-only diet, combined with daily colonic treatment.

The Master Cleanse
Made
famous by Beyonce and Angelina Jolie, the Master Cleanse is one of the hottest diet/cleanse treatments in Hollywood.

Master Cleanse page
Otherwise known as the Lemonade Diet, this cleanse involves a fast for 2-7 days, with limited nutrition provided by a concoction of Maple Syrup, Lemon Juice and Cayenne Pepper (hence the diet is sometimes called the Maple Syrup Diet).
Recipe:
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 tablesspoons Maple Syrup (Grade B)
2 pinches Cayenne Pepper
12oz Purified Water
Drink several times a day, whenever thirsty or hungry. You can also drink pure water by itself, but no other foods. Follow this diet for 2-7 days, but be careful to add vitamin supplements to your diet to ensure that you get all the nutrients you need.
The Master Cleanse diet has no fiber, so its important to take some kind of herbal colon cleanser too - try the OxyPowder cleansing system.
