Lemonade Cleansing Diet

Hi Folks,
I'm new here, but have had clusters for 40 years, every 18 months lasting for about 8-16 weeks. I've tried everything, though imitrex injections are best, and the imitrex tip here was a real revelation.
I've been seeing a nutrionist and as a last resort, she has me trying a lemonade fast for 10 days. Two tablespoons lemon juice, two tablespoons pure maple syrup, and a touch of cayenne pepper to 10 ounces of water. 6-12 glasses a day. I'm on day one, and before I continue too far, I want to know if anyone else has had any exoerience with this type of treatment

Actually, it doesn't taste bad, just a sweeter version of regular lemonade.

A lemonade fast? That's all you're having for 10 days? Just to make you poop?
I'll check back with you on the 16th.

Thanks for all of the responses. At least I know that others have the beast in their head as well. I'm ready to try anything, really sick of having a hot knife shoved in my eye 3 times a day, sticking needles in my leg, snorting nasal spray, and feasting on percs. And that's a good thing when it works. If it doesn't, hours of misery, but I'm preaching to the choir. So far I've missed breakfast and lunch, yelled and cursed at 2 of my staff( thiough they did deserve it) and have a meeting to either straighten the problem out or fire both which happens in 20 minutes. Did I mention I slammed my office door just for effect? I'm a Business Manager/ Human Resorces Manager and have a lot of pressure, etc. so clusters don't help my sunny disposition.
Hopefully, more than just poop.

10 days on that, and I'd probably look like a toothpick...
Hmmmmm....
Maybe I need to reconsider.....

Lemonade and maple syrup....with a dash of Cayenne would either clean me out or put me in a coma.
What though, if it's some kind of shock to the system that required your body to pay attention elsewhere for a time? I believe the bloke that stands barefoot on his garage floor and possibly the use of my technique are examples of this.
But: Bleaugh.

If you decide to stick with it, be very careful of your activity level. My brother got too active after about 4 days on it, fell and broke his wrist requiring a bone graft from his hip- his just got really lightheaded and spinny when playing with his kids, resulting in the fall.

Maybe... our beer is stronger eh?
Seriously though, any fasting can be risky to the equilibrium if you aren't careful.
