Master Cleanse is a 10-16 day cleansing program developed in 1940 by alternative health practitioner, Stanley Burroughs. In 1976, Burroughs presented his cleansing program to the world through a book titled The Master Cleanser. The Cleanse became much more widely known through its presentation in a book published in 2004 by Peter Glickman, the director of chiropractic and chelation clinics, and contributing editor to an alternative health newsletter. Master Cleanse is considered a detoxification program, though many people use it as a weight loss diet. Burroughs wrote that The Master Cleanse detoxifies the body of and removes the cravings associated with drugs, alcohol, tobacco, eating, coffee, tea, and various hot drinks. Various companies offer versions of The Master Cleanse in ready-made kits or by selling a ready-to-drink liquid intended to make the cleanse easier by removing the need to shop for the ingredients and prepare the concoction. There are somewhat optional elements of The Master Cleanse called the “Ease-in” and “Ease-Out.” These are intended, respectively, to prepare the body and mind for the cleansing experience and then to help transition from cleansing back to the consumption of other foods. Master Cleanse is a strict diet, during which no other food is eaten. Only decaffeinated herbal teas are allowed during the actual cleanse. |
