Rating: Summary: IT WORKS Review: I am on my thirteenth day(13) and have lost 17 pounds; after only ten days. I have no food cravings whatsover. My only temptation comes when I am in the kitchen preparing family meals. This cleanse has helped to convince me that one can accomplish anything one puts one mind to. I am shooting for forty days. My energy level is up. I still put in 3-4 miles three times weekly. Instead of walking;I now jog the distance
Rating: Summary: Changed my life Review: I have done the cleanse 5 times and this last time I went for 30 days. Amazing what happens to your mind and body! I have heard that people have done it without any side effects for up to 100 days. My next time, which will be January 2002 I will go for 60 days. I was able to workout everyday and my mental focus increased and my spiritual connection was strong. I would recommend this to anyone that is trying to get off anytype of addition!
Rating: Summary: The best "diet" I have ever been on! Review: This book was everything the author said it was. I started this cleansing process not knowing if I could do it. Ten days without food???!!! But the lemonade was great, very tasty, spicy! I love spicy foods so that was a plus for me. The laxative tea at night was already something that I did once in a while but I was a little skeptical about having this every night, but didn't have a problem with it. Stanley Burroughs was right in saying that you would not have hunger pangs, that your addictions would disappear. I had a very "sweet tooth." If I saw a piece of danish, a dish of pudding, a piece of pie, I had to have it. I was exposed to much of this during my cleansing process and didn't once feel the urge to "have it." I have lost my "sweet tooth" cravings, and have not replaced it with other cravings. I am a week off the cleansing process and feel great, everyone remarks about how "skinny" I am. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about cleaning out their body and getting healthy, plus lose a few pounds in the process. Excellent book!

Rating: Summary: Nothing else around like it! Review: I cleansed for the first time in May, 1999. My mentor was on this cleanse (day #18), and because of his tremendous success & side benefits he was experiencing, I gave it a try. I admit that I was "hungry" for the first 3 days, but after that, hunger was not an issue. I was 34 yrs. old at the time, a distance runner, and weight/height proportionate. The results for me were phenomenal. Never in my life would I have imagined the "stuff" that was in my gastro-intestinal tract, yet alone throughout other parts of my body. The "gunk" that had been caked to the walls of the G.I. tract was unbelievable. My mentor went 33 days on this cleanse, I just went 10 days. I now have cleansed every 3 - 4 months, and as of this day, I am on my 6th cleanse (4/16/01). Many people who do not understand "deep body & tissue cleansing" just smirk & laugh at this. You just ingore any negativity & focus on the positive benefits that it is doing for the body. Oh, I have found that the Shaklee Herb-Lax is the best mover of the waste that is going to be broken up. Also, the tongue will become white (candida/yeast/thrush). I found that brushing the teeth with Shaklee's New Concept Dentrifice is very helpful because it does not contain sugar that the yeast can thrive on (brush the tongue also!). Skin brushing is very important, not only during the cleanse, but for the duration of your life here on earth. It stimulates the lymphatic system to dump waste into the colon. Every 3 - 4 days, the Shaklee Peppermint Tablets are wonderful for the mint tea recommended in the book. Oh, while on this cleanse, soak in 3 caps of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint-Castille soap & 3 caps of Shaklee's Basic-H organic cleaner. Use only ORGANICALLY grown lemons and Grade B Maple Syrup. I have found that using cayenne capsules works great for those individuals who have a hard time with the "heat" of the cayenne. I am currently using 3 capsules a day (morning, afternoon, evening) & seeing how my results are going to be (otherwise, I have always put the cayenne right into my drink). Now, when you get off the cleanse (after breaking it CORRECTLY), I recommend Shaklee's Optiflora (acidophilus/bifidus). It is the ONLY product of its kind that guarantees LIVE delivery of the healthy bacteria to the colon (unbelievable results with this product). Also, purchase the book "Eat For Your Type" (diet according to your blood type). Dr. Bernard Jensen's book "Foods that Heal" is also another outstanding book. You can undo what you did on the cleanse by going back to old, unhealthy, non-cell nourishing eating habits. Be open to change & let your body tell you what it needs & what makes it sick & diseased!

Rating: Summary: not a diet at all Review: I found this book last year just by surfing the internet and was very skeptical- I though "yeah, right". I had been very careful over the years using periodic internal cleanses and thought I was quite healthy. When I tried the fast, I could not believe the results! The things that came out of my body shocked me (so THAT'S where Jimmy Hoffa went?!?!), and I make a point of eating healthily. I highly recommend this program for anyone, the weight loss (and you WILL lose weight) is just an added benefit.
Rating: Summary: Think twice before jumping on the bandwagon Review: Though many people swear by the master cleanser, be forewarned that it is not for everyone. I tried the diet because I have terrible allergies and fatigue, and I wanted to see what it feels like to be rid of the toxins in my body. A friend recommended Burroughs' master cleanser. I tried the diet for 3 full days, and the 3rd night, I fainted and had to eat something. I had been feeling dizzy and fatigued and that brought on a severe headache. The lemonade suppressed my hunger somewhat, but I still felt hungry. I am very skeptical of Burroughs' claim that lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper provide all the vitamins and minerals needed for a person to live healthily for 10 days. He provides no proof of this in his book, only his word. Though I really wanted to feel the results my friend raved about, I found it is not worth the negative repercussions I experienced.
Rating: Summary: Your friends are not crazy! Great book, great cleanse! Review: I thought all my friends were crazy! Ten different friends of mine had all taken the 10-day lemonade fast as described in this book, and they all talked about how great it was! A nurse friend of mine told me how her blood pressure dropped, her sleep improved, and she felt more energy than ever before. Other friends of mine spoke of miraculous benefits too. For years (literally), I sat on the sidelines listening to my friends talk about the fast... but I was always too scared and too skeptical to follow in their footsteps. How could I possibly go 10 days without food?? I would kill myself! I can't even skip a meal without getting weak and hungry! How would my body react to no food and no vitamins? Surely it would shrivel up and die! And then one day, I just did it. Just for the hell of it. I couldn't stand hearing my friends talk about it anymore. And so I did it. And not only did my body survive, but my body thrived! I had a chronic cough from a year ago when I had bronchitis, and my chronic cough almost completely disappeared by the time my lemonade fast was over. I shed excess fat on my body, I felt incredible. I highly recommend this book, and the lemonade fast. The author makes really strong arguments for what really is beneficial for your body, and how we poison our bodies by filling them with junk all the time. It's time to give your body a rest and a cleanse. Check out this book, and witness your body come alive!
