grade A maple syrup is little better than
Sugar water... you will suffer not getting enough minerals to buffer the acid waste you want to cleanse and remove from the body.
(the whole purpose of the MC)
Without enough minerals (which you will get with Blackstrap molasses and lemon, or the grade B syrup), you are not so much cleansing, as more likely recirculating waste. Your body will also be more likely to go into starvation mode( which is NOT the point of the MC) and in doing so, will create more acid. Acid=stress.
The body NEEDs enough minerals to do the work of housecleaning, and all the other processes that go on all the time. the lemon and BS molasses, or lemon and grade B MS (more minerals) together produce the right electrical energy, and this the body uses to allow it to rest from constant digestion/elimination, and begin to heal and balance.
More people have trouble with not adhering to the 'rules' of the MC... apparently assuming they are not there for a very good, well-thought out reason.
maybe that's why some people keep recommending others read and understand how pH operates in the body...once you do, then you'll begin to see the incredible elegance and wonder of this kind of cleanse.
