For those considering a Detox/Master Cleanse READ THIS FIRST

******ATTENTION!!! THIS TOPIC IS NOT A PROMOTION OR ENDORSEMENT FOR THIS DIET******

I found this on another website and just had to add it here. I have to ask: WHO WOULD ACTUALLY DO THIS????

Wow...

Purchase lemons, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, laxative herbal tea, and sea salt in sufficient quantities to last the duration of your cleanse.

Purchase a large supply of toilet paper and Tucks® brand witch hazel wipes. If you share your bathroom with others, agree on a unque emergency code phrase like “It’s coming,” “Dr. Livingston, I presume,” or “Elvis is leaving the building” to alert other members of your household that you need them to vacate the bathroom quickly; also, consider purchasing a supply of adult diapers.

The night before beginning the diet, drink some laxative herbal tea, and retire for the evening.

Days 1 through 10 (and Beyond):

In the morning before drinking any lemonade, drink a quart of salt water (remain near a toilet).
During the day drink 6 to 12 glasses of the Master Cleanse lemonade concoction. The lower number of 6 glasses is recommended for those seeking weight loss. The higher number is fine for those interested mostly in detoxification.
In the evening drink some herbal laxative tea.
You may experience dizziness, vomiting, joint pain, and weakness. You will also be really hungry. After several days many Master Cleanse dieters report entering a state of bliss that is either the result of the continuing elimination of toxins, or else a state similar to the tranquil experience that people who are starving to death have shortly before dying.

Note: Over the years since Stanley Burroughs’ death variations of the original Master Cleanse described here have developed, and attempts at clarifying ambiguous points have been made. Peter Glickman’s book, as well as this popular internet based book by Raylen Sterling, deal with some of these modifications to the Master Cleanse orthodoxy.
Post Diet: Breaking the Fast

When are you through with the diet? Either when you reach the number of days that you planned, or alternately, when your tongue goes from “coated and fuzzy” to a clear pink color.

Burroughs outlines a gentle approach for coming off the diet without upsetting your digestive system excessively. Although Burroughs recommends that you become a practicing raw foodist vegetarian after the diet to avoid recontamination with toxic dead animal flesh, he does provide an alternative transition plan for omnivores.

Vegetarian Transition Process

Days 1 and 2: Drink several 8-ounce glasses of orange juice, sipping slowly, diluting it if there is digestive distress.
Day 3: Drink orange juice in the morning, eat raw fruit for lunch, and eat fruit or raw salad for dinner.
Day 4: You may return to your normal diet.

Omnivore Transition Process

Day 1: Drink several 8-ounce glasses of orange juice, sipping slowly, diluting it if there is digestive distress.
Day 2: Drink orange juice during the morning and afternoon. For dinner prepare a homemade vegetable soup (recipe below). Mostly sip the broth, and do not eat much of the vegetables.
Day 3: Drink orange juice in the morning, have leftover vegetable soup for lunch with 4 rye crackers (no regular crackers or bread), and eat fresh raw vegetables, salad, and fruit for dinner. Do not yet eat meat, fish, eggs, bread, pastries or drink tea, coffee, or milk.
Day 4 and beyond: You may return to your normal diet, but Burroughs recommends continuing to drink the lemonade concoction at breakfast on a permanent basis. And he really wants you to go vegetarian, if at all possible.

Yikes!

IMO, it's nothing but an 'accepted' form of bulimia for people who binge and want to 'start over'. Shame, shame, shame!
