Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 I really don't mean to be annoying -- but pure maple syrup is fat-free. I think the recipe is for an alternative to "pancake syrup" like Aunt Jemima's or Log Cabin's. Those syrups sometimes only have "maple flavor" and who knows what else! LOL!! Really, though, pure maple syrup is very good for you. I read somewhere that just one serving of it has a full day's supply of potassium in it. Those commercial fake maple syrups have given it a bad reputation!! Don't bother to change maple syrup -- enjoy it as it is. It's much better!! - Mary Thursday, July 05, 2001 5:38 PM Re: Maple Syrup I dunno, the recipe she sent is fat free. So, maybe some people would be interested.

I would suggest raw honey instead. Yes, it is BUT again we are not substituting sweeteners. The Maple Syrup is essential for the mineral content to support the cleanse. Black Strap molasses can also be used. Even though raw honey is good for many things it is not a balanced sugar like the maple or the molasses. They are closer to fruit sugars and used for the mineral content in combination with the lemon which was chosen for it's vitamin content, alkaline producing and cleansing abilities. If you choose to do the master cleanse, I would stick to the protocol. It has been proven over and over. No, it is not the only beneficial cleanse out there but it is very very good if you follow the directions! I wouldn't try it with honey as you would not get the same results.

You did the Master Cleanse without the minerals and you survived in spite of this mistake but that does not mean the honey " worked " for you. You could have used axel grease and survived it and said it worked for you. Sandy was right. DON'T TWEAK THE RECIPE especially if you don't understand it. AGAIN: The MS is NOT used for sweetening, and if you think your are substituting sweeteners you missed the whole point of the MS. rusty - " alex " <telecom <rawfood > Tuesday, April 27, 2004 6:44 AM Re: [Raw Food] Maple Syrup > Honey worked for me! > Alex > > FITJUNKIE wrote: > > >In a message dated 4/26/2004 9:51:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, > >jetpostman writes: > >Maple Syrup is made by boiling.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I quite disagree! First of all Master Cleanse was not invented by Mr. Burrows. It was offered at first by Rudolf Ehret 50 years earlier. If you go through Ehret's writings, you'll see that main task of any fast is to clean body of mucous matter. In my case , I did water fasts, juice fast (30 days), Master cleances(bot with maple syrup and honey). As a matter of fact I fast every Tuesday, which is today. In my case I must attest that amount of mucous matter expelled was much bigger with honey then with maple syrup. You have to open your eyes and learn to listen to your body and be creative. Wake up!

This is great Alex! I am so glad honey worked for you! I do believe individuals differ. I am one case that can't use honey even the really raw stuff. I don't tell people that they shouldn't use it but know for me it is dangerous. I have serious reactions to it. Yes, it might be detox and I've considered that possibility but I have to go with my gut and it says " no way " It is sad because I love honey and am hopeing when my body is fully repaired that honey will no longer be an issue and I can include it in my diet! I know I have adrenal exhaustion and the glycemic index of honey sends me way overboard. So congrats to you who must be very balanced, but for me who uses the cleanse to help with adrenal issues, honey isn't the best choice!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 OK Alex. If you dismiss using the mineral content of the Maple Syrup bacause Stanley did not invent Master Cleanse, is one thing and you could do it without the MS, just using lemon juice and cayenne. But Why add a gratuitious sweetener like honey as honey does not contain those minerals so is absolutely useless in this regard. Why add sweetner when sweetener is not required. Sweetening is NOT the reason the MS is added. I don't care who 'invented " Master Cleanse, the function of adding MS is to provide minerals in an absorbable form. Just adding colloidal minerals won't work and certainly adding a substance that does not contain those minerals cannot work. WHY ADD HONEY? What is it's FUNCTION in this formula. rusty - " alex " <telecom <rawfood > Tuesday, April 27, 2004 7:19 AM Re: [Raw Food] Maple Syrup > I quite disagree! > First of all Master Cleanse was not invented by Mr. Burrows. > It was offered at first by Rudolf Ehret 50 years earlier.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Rusty, mistake you are making is by looking at different substances from scientific/materialistic point of view. Instead you should look at them from vibrational energy point of view. Now, compare maple syrup and honey. Raw maple syrup was a beneficial product full of enzymes, however being distilled for hours, all the enzymes were gone and it becomes a huge load for the body to digest. Honey, on the contrary, is the product of the essence of flowers, with numerous vibrations added up. It also was predigested by the bees with numerous enzymes added up in a process. Energy contained in it can greatly benefit body instead of burdening it. The same approach should be applicable to other substances. We are here to increase vibrations of the body, not to dampen them. Alex L.Win wrote: >OK Alex.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 >Instead you should look at them from vibrational energy > point of view. - Hey Alex, I go along with that and I follow that philosopy. My dicipline is taiji and I always approach food sensitive to the chi levels. And this is on topic for this raw food group, because dead food has virtually no chi. However, I have run across some dried siberian ginseng root that still had lots of energy, and some dried lin chi mushroom that was still vibrating but in general once the 'life' is gone so is the chi. The Master Cleanse discussion should move to < FastingForum > as it has nothing to do with raw other than as a set up detox, prior to going raw. rusty - " alex " <telecom <rawfood > Tuesday, April 27, 2004 8:00 AM Re: [Raw Food] Maple Syrup > Rusty, > mistake you are making is by looking at different substances from > scientific/materialistic > point of view.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Just want to summarize that people shouldn't be discouraged from experimenting, trying something new and by listening to their body determining the value of experiment.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I agree with experimenting and trying different things. However, a fast can be very dangerous if you change it around without completely understanding the significance of each step. Whatever you do, be careful. If you're going to change something around, make sure that it's not going to harm you. The release of more mucus when you used the honey might be because the honey was creating more mucus (just a thought). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 You have to read books by Ehret. He considered honey one of the most beneficial foods around. Also primal diet books. May be you'll come up with some different thoughts. Alex Lopez, Ariana wrote: >I agree with experimenting and trying different things.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi Mikael, I used to visit my grandmother in the summers and she loved maple syrup and homemade biscuits. She used to tap the trees and cook it herself. As far as I know maple syrup is cooked. In fact, she used to make all of us take turns keeping her company when she stayed up all night to watch the sap cooker because it took almost 24 hours to make 4 gallons with the cooker she had.(hated that..yawning) > > mikaelashoney <mikaelashoney@h...> wrote: > > > Is maybe mable syrop raw? > > > Yes it is raw and vegan!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 If you would like to know how maple syrup is made, go to: http://www.mi-maplesyrup.com/Activities/activities_homemade.htm Although originally in raw form, the finished product is not raw. The sap from the tree is only 2% sugar, and the sap is boiled to concentrate the sugar through the process of evaporation. Any concentrated product should be used in moderation.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 They actually cook the maple sap down to syrup by about 40 to 1 (40 gallons to make 1 gallon of syrup.) The raw sap is like a slightly sweetened water. From memory (decades ago to my youth!) it could be a Northeast equivalent of coconut water.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks everyone for making it clear to me. No doubts now.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Siri, Out of curiosity, I once called a maple syrup manufacturer in Vermont to ask about this. The answer was simple indeed: the sap from the tree is mostly water. (Not surprising, as from the tree's perspective, this is its fuel, just as blood is to us.) They take the syrup and cook it at 190 degrees F for three days straight, to remove most of the water and create " syrup " . So maple syrup is really just dehydrated maple sap. All dehydrated foods dehydrate us. Ergo, no go!!!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Elchanan: Using my own dehydrators at 110 degrees F. or below is alright for the raw diet, isn't it? Consuming hydrated maple syrup is out because the manufacturers boiled it into syrup beyond 110 degrees, right?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm not sure if they ship internationally or not, but this is a very cool project: http://www.welrp.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=26 I get my maple syrup and wild rice there, and both are great. General info about who they are, etc., is here: http://www.welrp.org/ Hope this helps! Peace, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
