My adventures on The Master Cleanse
July 9th, 2008 by Amanda Schurr in Elsewhat, 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!!!)
