My adventures on The Master Cleanse
July 9th, 2008 by Amanda Schurr in Food and DrinkThis week’s Morning After column begins a two-part chronicle of my darned-near-life-changing stint on The Master Cleanse, that much ballyhooed and debated “fad” regimen developed back in
1941 by Stanley Burroughs.
While the columns describe my own experience — read: I am not a professional, do not try this at home, at least before consulting with someone (i.e. a physician) in the know — a few other resources are listed below. Again, read up, ask around and be sensible.
A 2006 New York Times article on it
A PDF booklet containing Burroughs’ original text from 1941
A blog I referred to on a day-by-day basis
Another quite detailed blog
More background here, and here too…
Including criticism
A support forum
Tune in to next week’s Morning After for the conclusion. Happy and safe cleansing, everyone. (And yes, that image is what popped up after I searched for a Master Cleanse image. Poor Kermeeee!!!)

The Lemonade Diet is the portion of the Master Cleanse where you drink only the Lemonade made from Lemon, Maple Syrup, Cayenne Pepper and Water. It is great for detox and weight loss and has a large following of people who have tried it with great success.
