I believe the cayenne is a vital part of the cleanse and should NOT be eliminated. i did 21 days this summer and had a terrible time with the cayenne. i was advised to put a tiny pinch under the tongue, chase it with lots of lemonade, and that i would get used to it. this proved to be true, by the third day, i was able to put it in the glass. there are articles in the archives of this forum about the cayenne. it is very important if you want to get the full benefits of the MC.
