To break: 1 day OJ only (start with 50% OJ, 50% water, work your way up) day 2 OJ, then veggie broth, then you may be ready for some fruit. Day 3 stick with OJ or something light in the morning and move to a good veggie soup to start you off right. Remember, after fasting, your body must rebuild having had little nutrition intake for a while. Eat many fruits & veggies. Gradually ease in meats & grains & dairy later.

And here's my Soup Recipe:

*************
I was asked for this recipe but I'm posting again at the top to make sure it's seen for the benefit of all. :-)

PERFECT CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP

2 Tbs butter
1 Tbs olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
6-8 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced (I like more garlic)
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 medium cauliflower, cored & coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp curry powder (optional)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried savory or marjoram
6 cups water
2 Tbs white miso (if you want to keep the soup white, or you can use vegetable boullion)
nutmeg to garnish

In heavy soup kettle, melt butter. Add oil. Add onion, scallions and garlic. Add Celery and cauliflower. Add seasonings. Mix well and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for several minutes, stirring frequently. Add water and miso (or veg. boullion, my preference). Bring to boil. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for 15 minutes or until cauliflower is tender. Remove cover and cool slightly. Puree in small increments in blender until smooth and creamy. Reheat if necessary, adding fresh ground nutmeg, if desired.

Personally, although the soup is slightly better, and a delightful consistency after pureed, I personally leave it as a broth soup b/c I like the texture and get tired of eating only cream. The cream version is probably a great first bowl for breaking a fast. I'd recommending saving the soup and pureeing when you want cream or just warming up when you want broth. But like I said, this soup is WONDERFUL! :-) Enjoy your fast, then OJ, then soup!

When you do get back to solid foods (like about the third day or so) I would also recommend probiotics to replace the intestinal flora that was lost. Kefir and/or yogurt or something similar.

take care
Nick

ps. that soup sounds delicious, I just emailed the recipe to myself (my online filing cabinet) and I'm going to make it in the next couple of days... thanks rooth!

Here you go~~I hope you enjoyed your experience enough
to try it again~!

How To Break The Master Cleanse

Coming off The Master Cleanse properly is highly important - please follow the directions very carefully. After living in a semi-tropical and tropical climate for many years, I find that people have increasingly turned to a raw fruit, nut, and vegetable diet. Following is the schedule for people who normally follow such a natural vegetarian diet.

FIRST and SECOND day after the 10 day diet:
Several 8 oz. glasses of fresh orange juice as desired during the day. The orange juice prepares the digestive system to properly digest and assimilate regular food. Drink it slowly. If there has been any digestive difficulty prior to or during the changeover, extra water may be taken with the orange juice.

THIRD day:
Orange juice in the morning. Raw fruit for lunch. Fruit or raw vegetable salad at night. you are now ready to eat normally.

For those who have characteristically lived the unnatural way of meat, milk, refined and devitalized food, it may be best to change over as follows, gradually adopting the raw fruit, nut and vegetable diet:

FIRST day:
Several 8 oz. glasses of fresh orange juice as desired during the day. Drink it slowly.

SECOND day:
Drink several 8 oz. glasses of orange juice during the day - with extra water, if needed. Some time during the afternoon prepare a homemade vegetable soup (no canned soup) as follows:

RECIPE FOR VEGETABLE SOUP

Use several kinds of vegetables, perhaps one or two kinds of legumes, potatoes, celery, carrots, green vegetable tops, onion, etc. Dehydrated vegetables or vegetable soup powders may be added for extra flavor. Okra or okra powder, chili, curry, cayenne (red) pepper, tomatoes, green peppers and zucchini squash may be included to good advantage. Brown rice may be used, but no meat or meat stock. Other spices may be added) delicately for flavor. Use salt delicately as a limited amount of salt is necessary. Learn to enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables.

Have this soup for the evening meal using the broth mostly, although some of the vegetables may be eaten. Rye wafers may be eaten sparingly with the soup, but no bread or crackers.

THIRD day:

Drink orange juice in the morning. At noon have some more soup; enough may be made the night before and put in the refrigerator. For the evening meal eat whatever is desired in the form of vegetables, salads or fruit. No meat, fish, or eggs; no bread, pastries, tea, coffee, or milk. Milk is highly mucus-forming and tends to develop toxins throughout the body.

(Milk, being a predigested food, has been known to cause various complications in the stomach and colon, such as cramps and convulsions. The calcium in milk is difficult to assimilate and may cause toxins in the form of rheumatic fever, arthritis, neutitis, and bursitis. The resulting lack of proper digestion and assimilation of the calcium allows it to go into the blood stream in a free form and it is deposited in the tissues, cells, and joints where it can cause intense pain and suffering.)

FOURTH day:

Normal eating may be resumed, but the best health will be retained if the morning meal consists of our type of lemonade or fruit juice; and, of course, if a strictly fruit, vegetable, seed and berry diet is followed. If, after eating is resumed, distress or gas occurs, it is suggested that The Master Cleanse be continued for several more days until the system is ready for food.
