Summary: A valuable healing tool for anyone to use
Review: My matewomyn had the honor of studying with Stanley Burroughs before he died. We actively use The Master Cleanser in our healing mission. I can't say enough for this proccess. It helped to bring my beloved mate, Starwomyn out of osteoporosis. I highly reccomend both this book and the more extensive "Healing for the Age of Enlightenment" also by Stanley Burroughs.

Summary: Skeptic turned fan
Review: My husband bought this book and asked if I would fast with him. Our friend did it last summer for 14 days and honestly, I thought she was nuts. I'm a very open-minded person, but this was actually a little to "woo-woo" even for me. I thought it was unsafe and had no desire to give up food. YIKES!As my husband read the book to me while we were driving home, the information became more and more intriguing. I began to understand the premise of cleansing the body. Many people do this to cleanse the body, which for me is a great benefit. But the real reason I decided to do it is because I wanted to lose weight. I did some research and saw that Robin Quivers (Howard Stern Show) had great success with the Master Cleanser. I'm on day 3 of the fast and have to say it's been a lot easier than I thought it would be. Make no mistake, Day 1 was VERY HARD!!! Not because of the hunger (I wasn't hungry) but eating is a very POWERFUL habit. I never realized how much my thoughts revolved around food. Day 2 & 3 have been much better & I've lost 5 pounds so far! :) I never thought I would attempt fasting. If you're like me, read the info and decide for yourself. You'll be amazed at how easy it is when you decide you want the benefits. Good Luck!

Summary: Tried it with moderate success
Review: I bought this book on a whim. It was a cheap book and sounded like a fast way to reduce weight in a healthy way. I've had moderate success with this book, which is essentially the lemonade diet. I bought the ingredients, tried it for several days, and lost about 10 pounds in 6 days. The lemonade mixture was able to satisfy my hunger adequately. I didn't feel fantastic, but I felt fine, with no problems. The book is somewhat "New-Agey" and gets into the subject of toxins and disease and natural cleansing. I wasn't really concerned with that, and readers will have varying opinions of Burroughs' hypotheses. This is a good system if you really want to lose weight quickly and are ready to commit. Or just try it for a while and see how long you can go.

Summary: An eclectic bunch, we are
Review: Our reading club is an eclectic bunch. You have no idea HOW electic! We read everything from the lastest bestsellers like "Da Vinci Code" and "Bark of the Dogwood" to Hilary Clinton's book and, yes, even this one: THE MASTER CLEANSER. Open minded is the one thing we all have in common. So let me just say that this little book has completely changed our lives (and that of our husbands, wives, and kids---even the dog). Folks, this one's going to take off, and how! Highly, highly recommend for anyone interested in the quality of life!

Summary: irreplaceable tool for a healthy lifestyle, it's my "Bible"
Review: I first discovered the fast in Germany during my travels, but did not know it had a name. I was modeling & needed to lose weight. Another model gave me the formula, but only knew it "through the grapevine". In Europe, a commercialization of the fast is available in health food stores. It comes with a little pack of cayenne and directions, but the syrup is a combo of cane & grade B, which is not as good as organic dark Grade B. Several years ago, a company began marketing "Lemon Fast" in health food stores across the U.S. Again, it is the same as the European version. After researching, I discovered the Burroughs foundation in California and ordered several copies of the book from his daughter. I lost, in all, more than 30 pounds over a period of time. I now maintain a vegetarian/mostly vegan lifestyle and cleanse at least twice yearly for 10 days to 2 weeks. My energy is not decreased but instead soars. I am still a professional model. I hand out copies of the book to everyone who is interested and who questions me as to how I stay slim. I cannot tell you how many "normal people" have changed their lives following Mr. Burroughs program. And to think it was written over 50 years ago!! This is one book the drug companies would rather you not have, for sure. It cures everything, including my hypoglycemia, anemia, and cravings. It reassures one of the power of the mind and healing ability of the body. Stick with it for at least 10 days and remember, if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. Good Luck Everyone. Health and Happiness. *P. FYI helpful hints... *We now have great 'diet teas' available at pharmacies and health food stores that contain psyllium husk or senna. This can be drunk the night before you begin your fast and again the following night, essentially eliminating the need for the uncomfortable internal-salt-water-bath. Have a diluted version first, as the strength of these items is not regulated and some are quite strong. And leave yourself a couple of hours the first morning to, well, eliminate. The discomfort will pass...get through the first two days and you're home free. Get through the first five and you don't even want the lemonade anymore. *If you feel a wave of nausia or a dizzy spell, it is your body eliminating toxins or passing waste out of your body. DO NOT think it is because you need food. It takes a 24-hr no-food period to begin the cleansing process & eating defeats all the work you've put into it. Breathe deep, and thank yourself for finally cleansing that stuff out. The feeling will pass in a few minutes. You may need to drink an elimination tea that night. *Try the mixture with lemon/lime combos and try it hot. It's delicious. Carry a small water bottle in your purse/case of the lemonade without water[concentrate]. Add to hot water or plain water at work or restaurants if you find you must accompany others. *Herbal tea and green tea is allowed, and helps to avoid caffeine headaches from your coffee withdrawl. It also gives you an alternative to the lemonade and keeps you hydrated. *Stay strong in your mind, focussed on your goal, and don't believe others who tell you you're crazy. They are silently envying your willpower. You don't know until you try

Summary: It Gets The Job Done Right!
Review: I bought the little yellow book at the suggestion of a friend. I followed the directions and felt absolutely wonderful upon completion of the 10-day fast. I will have to say, however, that I was craving food, but knowing that the Master Cleanser was working and doing its job, I hung in there for the final result.
I lost 10 pounds and all my friends said I looked great. After the cleanse, I started thinking more about eating healthier food. This book can change your life.
I know, I know, you may be thinking it's an old-fashioned 'method' and why not just take a laxative every day and cover your ailments with a pill. The fact that we treat our own body with substandard remedies only alerts one to the fact we have problems to start with.
I found The Master Cleanser book informative and helpful. I'm glad I bought it, I'm glad I followed the directions, and I'll do it again.
By the way, my family thought I was crazy - who in their right mind would drink nothing but lemonade for almost 2 weeks? No solid food? They changed their tune when they saw the results.
With some incentives and motivation, anyone can do this, and SHOULD.

Summary: An "OLD DOG" with a New Trick
Review: I'm 44 and 15 months off of a 30 year smoking habit. A friend turned me on to the Master Cleanse and after 15 days into it I felt so good I decided to go 30 days. I've lost 30lbs and 11" overall. I sleep much better, my skin looks and feels younger, no more heartburn and my joints feel great. I plan to make the Master Cleanse a regular part of my life.

Summary: Still Loosing Weight
Review: I have been on this diet off and on since the day I purchased this book in May 2004. Before starting the diet, I weighed 260 lbs., now I weigh 237 lbs. and still counting. I have lost 23 lbs. in less than a month, my goal is to get down to my normal weight of 155 lbs. I have to warn anyone, but it takes great commitment and motivation to follow this diet.
Overall, it's a great feel-good type of book. Just like my new beverage of choice called s o y f e e. It's made from soybeans that you brew just like coffee. Caffeine-free, you'll find it at www. S oycoffee.com.
Good luck to all of you who are starting the diet.

Summary: Great diet, it works!
Review: I have IBS and I found this diet and decided to try it out. I stayed on this diet for 21 days. I lost 21 pounds. I didn't exercise at all. But I did go camping for a week at Big Sur in California and I stayed on the diet all throughout. I cooked hot dogs, and other camp food for everyone and yet managed to squeeze my lemons and make my lemonade. I resisted all temptations and I lost weight. I only had one episode of dizziness after 10 days. I just drank the lemonade with more syrup and it went away. Initially I got headaches and felt bad the first 3 days but then I just cruised it until the dizzy spell 10 days later. I'm a foodaholic and my mind was always on food. Now I eat smaller protions and eat more vegetables. It's a great diet. Don't be afraid to try it. Regarding the "protein argument" well, this isn't forever, it's for 10 or more days. I survived and you will too. I lost weight and feel great. While I was on the diet my IBS stop bothering me completely. And now, though I still have IBS, it's manageable. I just feel better.
