i used a very small pinch of the cayenne pepper in the cleanse and it was hot enough that i could stand it…i followed the author’s suggestion and drank the 8 oz of the cleanse very quickly in one drink then followed with a another drink of plain lemon water which i sipped on until it was time for the cleanse again…i found this procedure to be helpful because the plain lemon water helped to mask the heat and flavor of the cayenne pepper…hope this is helpful to you.

Randy, unfortunately the body does not become “alkaline” unless it is very sick. The body regulates pH very closely and will only allow for a normal variance between 7.35-7.45 on the pH scale. It does this through normal kidney and lung function. “Highly alkaline” is scary to us medical folks because it can damage body tissues and can even lead to death. We call this illness alkalosis. It is not safe for the body to be out of normal pH range.

Anything that advertises that it changes body pH is not only advertising a change that would be harmful to the body’s organs, but it would be rendered ineffective by normal body functions! It seems you have been mislead, my friend, by false advertising..

It’s day 2 on my lemonade diet. I did it yesterday without adding cayenne pepper on my lemonade because cayenne pepper is not available in my country.
Is the diet still working even if it’s not have a maximum result?
I do found a red pepper, can I replace it instead?
I try to order it from amazon but it said that they can’t send it to my country without knowing the reason why.
So I wonder if it’s effective or not without the cayenne pepper, coz I don’t want later realize that my 10 days effort is not working at all.
Thanks for your answer

i actually took shots of cayenne with water rather than putting it in the drink itself. my body does not tolerate much to spicy foods so for me so it was easier for me to take the shot and chase it down with the lemonade. to be quite honest, i actually didn’t have any cayenne pepper on hand for the first 10 days so i drank the lemonade without it but it still worked. i did this for roughly 20 days and lost 25-30 lbs. i went down from a size 10 to a size 0. but i also did exercise about 4 hours a day. but i still don’t think taking shots of cayenne will be detrimental at all.

Allyson,

I have just read your question and have pasted here a quote from directly above on this very same page. It tells exactly why the Cayenne is used and what it does. These are properties specifically of Cayenne.

Acai berries do not have these same properties. Using another superfood is not the answer, as they are not really interchangeable. Finding a way to get the cayenne down IS the answer.

If you would read more on this site and look into it further, you will find that people have given all sorts of hints and tips on how to do the things required for this plan. Don’t just read one page and consider yourself prepared. Read, read, read!!! Look at the comments at the bottom of every page. There are dozens of people on here who have done this and have left their feedback for you to be able to see and learn from their experiences.

Here is the quote from this very page, detailing the point of using the Cayenne:

“Cayenne Pepper has many wonderful properties. It is a stimulant which raises the metabolism (something that is important when not digesting food). It increases circulation, which is very helpful when cleansing because one often feels slightly cool, likely due to the low metabolism which results from not digesting food. Cayenne Pepper also acts as a blood thinner and purifier, which can help with digestion.”

Some ideas I have seen include: A: using gel caps to place the cayenne inside and swallow them so you don’t have to taste it B: drinking a small amount of water with the cayenne in it, directly followed by the lemonade mixture C: just bucking up and taking it, realizing that it will do you a lot of good, even if it is not pleasant

There are many other idea on this site… I encourage you to read a lot more before deciding whether this will work for you or not.

(I have not yet started this cleanse, but plan to later this week. I am preparing for it and reading up on things ahead of time. It truly distresses me to see some of these posts that so obviously ask what has already been covered numerous times on this site. I truly wish that people would take more seriously the things they are looking at doing to their bodies and not just come to see the recipe. Look into the entire process!!)

Good luck to all who endeavor to do this. I really believe it can be a great help in maximizing our health! Have a wonderful week all! :)

I use the brand Solaray, Cool Cayenne capsules, just one at a time. But the best part is the water. We have a Kangen water machine which is good to get your ph levels up and make your body highly alkaline. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment. They are expensive but you can’t put a price on your health. Just goto Kangen.com and see if it’s a worthy investment.

Lemonade diet day 1-
Today is my first day of the lemonade diet and I absolutely cannot stand the taste of the cayenne pepper. I think I did make it to strong, but is there another substance that I can substitute the cayenne pepper for? It states above that acai berries are a “super food” as well. Would putting acai berry in the mixture give you he same results as the cayenne pepper? If anyone could help that would be great!
