Edwards (wearing hat) with Clients at Annual Retreat
shared how this cleanse helps the body to
detox salt, grease and sugar. Not knowing
what this cleanse was or required, I was sold
on it when I heard detox sugar. She shared
with me that it was the Master Cleanse
(cayenne pepper, maple syrup grade-B and
organic lemons). She made my first batch
of this lemonade. It was difficult to drink
because it was so hot and I don’t like hot/
spicy foods. But I made myself drink it. The
Master Cleanse Lemonade was the begin-

would wrap mine and my two sister’s legs
in warm blankets to help us go to sleep.
She told us we were experiencing growing
pains. I was extremely weak for a long time
before I was actually diagnosed with Hyper-
thyroidism. I was weak, losing weight, and
felt hot even during the winter. Once it was
under control, I was told I would never have
hyperthyroidism again, but I would have to
be checked yearly for hypothyroidism. Over
twenty years went by uneventful. As soon as
my body showed signs or rapid weight gain,
fatigue and weakness, I rushed to the doctor
and was told I was experiencing the signs
of hypothyroidism. When I was diagnosed
