Awesome video! btw my brother used this very popular diet routine known as: Impact 790 Diet and dropped 7 kgs within a month. I cannot really remember the web site just Google it.
I've stumbled upon DietOramy diet program (you will find it on Google) - that plan is simply impressive, I eat as much as I require and I'm nonetheless melting away excess weight - the key is in diverse varieties of meals, not really in calories...
My niece had troubles with unwanted weight for quite a handful of time now and she found a handful of so called DietOramy eating routine regime (google it) - she's had quite a success with it so far, and doctor says she is healthy as never ever just before...
Holla! Have you tried intellectus 424 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some unbelivable things about it and my father lost crazy amounts of weight with it
@starsbody99 Many people believe that but just like you I only believe in great diet solutions that really gives better result. I found it in the site WeightLossAction.Info .
Question....Can we use the water from our Monthly Bottled Water Service (I.E Arrowhead Spring Water, Sparkletts Water) ? If so....What kind of Bottled Water Can I use ? Crystal Fresh ? Flouridated ? Spring Water ? Distilled Water ?
I cant wait to try this! But I have one problem, Im trying to quit smoking. Ive cut down a lot (from 25 a day to about 8), but its just quitting completely that Im having a hard time with. If I do the master cleanse will it make my cravings worse, or better? Or could i cut down during the first half and quit in the middle of the cleanse? Or would the cleanse be ineffective with the body having to deal with all those chemicals? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Also well there be a dramatic weight gain after the cleanse due to the body going into starvation mode and will it convert straight to fat as one site sates... why or why not???
@angelfiyah The body never goes into starvation mode. Only people who have never fasted or seen anyone fast say foolish things like that. See Dr. Alan Cott's (MD) book "Fasting -- The Ultimate Diet" or Dr. Joel Fuhrman's (MD) book "Fasting - and Eating - for Health." Fasting is not starvation. How much weight you regain is entirely dependent on what you eat after the cleanse. Predominately fresh fruits and veggies will keep the weight off. Eat all fresh fruits and veggies & lose more weight.
@angelfiyah Stanley Burroughs, the developer of the Master Cleanse, realized that as the toxins are mobilized they produce unpleasant detox symptoms like tiredness, irritability, headaches, rashes, etc. They are signs that toxins are being mobilized and will be eliminated producing better health. The faster they are gone, the better it is for you. So, salt water flush in the am and lax tea in the evening--every day.
Thank you for writing your book. Reading it is providing me with so much information about detox symptoms. I have many toxins and I learned that from reading your book. I start MC in 2 days. Thanks again for providing so much information!
Is it safe to do the MC more then 10 days? Those people on Utube who have done 40 days, is it recommended? Or like u said, do u stop at the sign of your tongue being clear pink? In a way your body tells u by your tongue when to stop really?
@LilasRose1973 I know many people who have done it more than 10 days. I know a couple who have done it 40. If on the way to 40 days, your tongue gets clear and pink, end off. Your tongue will show you how your body is doing. The Chinese have used the tongue for centuries.
thank you for all the wonderful information. i am on day 3 of the master cleanse. I feel so much better already. the first 2 days were major headaches because of the caffeine withdrawals, other than that--I;m feeling great. Thanks again!
i have been doing the master cleanse twice a year for the past 10 years, but i have decided to increase to 4 times a year as stanley burroughs says its good to do, do you think i am at risk of slowing my metabolism?
@333aolani 4 times a year is fine as long as you quit after 10 days or when your tongue goes clear and pink. A slower metabolism has been shown to lead to longer life. See "The China Study".
I have been doing the cleanse and sometimes over the weekend I will eat and then on the weekends I may eat something and so on and so forth..is it bad to do that? also the salt water has been kicking my butt..is it a way to do something besides that salt water>it literally makes me wanna throw up..but it seems like the salt water is what really cleans u out really good..but could u just drink the laxative tea in the morning..but again just drinking the tea doesnt seem like it moves u like the...
@angelofmery21 You need to read my book about how to do it. You're mixing several things and may be making yourself uncomfortable with no or poor results.
Thank you for your responds. I completed the 10 days and feel great. I lost a total of 13 pounds and want to try to keep them off. Any ideas on how to do that? I no longer eat meat and watch everything I put in my mouth. Anything would be helpful.

I've been weighing a short water fast versus a 30 to 40 day master cleanse and I believe I have settled on the master cleanse. One thing though, you can keep the salt water flush. I'm not buying into it. People lost at sea who drink the salty sea water die. Intentionally ingesting salt water just to poo like a dying elephant is just plain stupid. Herbal "smooth move" tea and plenty of water ought to be satisfactorily sufficient and avoid allot of the biggest negative of the cleanse-the SWF.
@BillionYears A person can do the Master Cleanse without the salt water flush if they substitute another cup of herbal laxative tea in the morning. However, drinking the salt water flush once a day to clean out the digestive track is fine. What people die from is drinking nothing but salt water for days. For the same reason the salt water flush works (the body can't use it so it's flushed out), it's no good for quenching thirst.
@PeterGlickman Hi Peter I am due to start the MC for approx. 21 days, I am going to included the salt water flush but feeling rather apprehensive, I was wondering whether it is safe to consume a litre for each of the 21 days? I need clarification how to go about it, do I do the salt flush in the morning (I am home all day) and continue to drink the recommended Lemon drink and additional water through out the 21 days? I am not able to consume any other liquid, is that right? Thank you
@bakonj You can do aerobics and will even have more energy (except on detox days). Don't do weights or body building. You will not have protein while on it and although that's not a problem for a month or so, it's counter productive to trying to increase muscle mass.
@livealive90 I've done it more than 20 times from 10 days to 28. I started to do 40 once, but my tongue went clear pink and I was hungry again for real food (salads, vegetables, etc.). So, I quit.
Thank you for pointing out the negative effects of toxins on our body and the importance and benefits of cleansing. My concern with the Master Cleanse is the lack of nutrients in the actual cleanse.
@KenEmrick Most people's major problem is too many retained toxins. They get the biggest gain from the Master Cleanse. For thousands of years people did water fasts to improve their health. A temporary reduction in nutrients is generally not as much a problem as the toxins.A few people suffer more from malnutrition (not a lack of fast or junk food, but actual vitamins & minerals). They should do a healthy diet first, mostly vegetarian, some raw.
@KenEmrick This is a common misunderstanding. If you went to a doctor for a throat infection and he gave you an antibiotic, it wouldn't be healthy to take it for the rest of your life. For a week or two, yes; for the rest of your life, no. A detox diet is exactly like that. For 10 -30 or 40 days, it's great. For the rest of your life, it's not healthy.
I have watched several videos of people that have done the cleanse. Everyone that has completed it talks of how great they feel afterwards. I havent figured out why people that dont like it bother watching the videos and then post negative comments that no one wants to hear.
will I lose more weight using sugarless syrup? My body cant handle too much maple syrup. I rarely drink sweet beverage. i can't stand the sugary syrup. Will i lose more weight?
@June123098 There is only 110 calories in each lemonade drink. You need to maple syrup for energy. If you want you can cut the syrup down by half to lose more weight.
I am on my second cleansen and I am so grateful to God He put this on my way, all my aches are gone and I have lots of energy. I want my son to do it because I know it will help him with his pain due to a car accident 4 years ago. Read both books Peter and Stanley both are wonderful motivation tools.
After putting much research on this Detox Diet, the Master Cleanse, I started it 2 days ago and I have lost 4 pounds to my big enchantment lol I do have weight to lose 30-40 pounds is the target. I amdoing 10 days and then see if I can continue cuz u can go up to 40 days max. Geez I doubt but we will see! My body is so full of.... well bad stuff lol so this will do me lots of good surely and then just eat a balanced diet. After I intend to do it every 3 months for 10 days.
hello im on day three on my mc but today i ate half of a sandwich. af ter that i drink a cup of peppermint tea. im gonna keep drinking my lemonade i want to continue doing it for a least 7 days. thats a good idea since i already ate half of a sandwich
OH my personal experience is awesomeness I jsut finished and iM so happy with the results..people try it never regret it you will learn to lsiten to your body..everything seems highlighted..you smell better, your skin is softer, your nails looks whiter, you sleep so so nice..ad I lost 7 kilos in 10 days Im off for couple and havent gota ny weigth back..will contiinue taking care of my body after this!!
very happy about the master cleanse! Did it 3 times in a year and lost 10 pounds and regained vitality, sleep better, have more energy. Highly recommended beside heallty diet and weraing the Body magic. laure A. from Ambiance Your Life
@MrMasterplan91 the salt water flush requires you to be near a bathroom you have exclusive use of for up to 2 hours after drinking. Drinking lax tea instead doesn't have this requirement at all. Other than that, you will pee several times a day, but not much more than normal.
@PeterGlickman the salt water flush elimination is a *surprise* the first time you do it. hang out near the restroom. I usually have a serving of spicy lemonade waiting for when I finish.
@JenniferSmith21R It depends on what you eat after the cleanse. The body stores toxins in the fat cells. Eat junk (sugar and artificially preserved, colored, flavored, sweetened "food") and your body will store the toxins in fat cells = you get fat. Eat mostly fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies and you will continue to lose if you were overweight or maintain. It all depends on you.
I have 4 more days to go and I'm feeling pretty pretty pretty good, the salt water flush wasn't so bad but the cayenne pepper it's not my thing. I refused to add it to my lemonade so I took shots of the liquid organic kind instead. Get a glass, pour 1 tblspoon of lemon/lime juice or 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 teaspoon of the liquid pepper and mix it in a 8 to 10 oz's of water and chug chug chug. I would do this twice a day.
@PrettyRican28 If you've had chemotherapy, do NOT do the Master Cleanse. A portion of each dose of chemo is retained in the body and the Master Cleanse will cause it to be released much too fast for your health. Read the Oil-Protein Diet by Dr. Johanna Budwig and call Carlos Garcia, M.D. in Oldsmar, FL.
@MRsikrim Going on a 660 to 1320 calories a day liquid diet will cause you to lose weight if you are overweight. If you are underweight, it will cause you to lose 1-2 pounds and after the cleanse put on weight. It's like hitting the reset button for the body.
Hey Peter, thanks for the great advice! Where can I pickup your book? Two questions, if i smoke cigarettes, do I have to quit during the cleanse? And, do I also need laxative tea? or can i just use the salt water flush.. thanks
@jocknme626 My book is sold at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Waldenbooks, Books a Million and in hundreds of health food stores across the US. It is also available in Russia, India, Turkey, South Korea, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Oh, and Amazon and my website TheRawFoodSite (dot) com. You don't have to quit smoking to do the Master Cleanse, but if you can you should as it destroys vitamin C in large quantities and leads to gum problems and heart disease. Yes, you also have to drink the lax tea.
hello there mr glickman, im on the diet now for five days, i was planning on going for ten days but my stomach seems to telling me to stop. whenever i do the salt water flush i get sick. should i continue or stop. and if i stop at day five can i move back to solids straight away

@sunshineblake People who have lots of mucus in their system sometimes have trouble with the salt water flush initially. Use lax tea instead. If you stop at day 5 you can do a reduced program to get back to solid food, but I'd stick to the full refeeding plan. It's healthier.
Great video. I remember reading an article about Kombucha increasing the detoxifiction rate. Are you familiar with this claim and is it ok to drink while cleansing? One of the negative effects of Kombucha is acidosis, so my concern is the combination of it with the lemon juice, but it also helps with probiotics which seems good since, being a woman, candida is a concern with all this syrup. Thanks for the video.

@doriejereb67 Master Cleanse Secrets has the recipe wrong, says you can cheat, which will not produce the best results, is written by a fictitious person who doesn't exist and faked a photo of Beyonce with his/her? book, which wasn't even written when she did her cleanse. Since it's more expensive than any published book on the MC, save your money.
Hi Peter..I am on Day 2 of my master cleanse but I got weak and had 2 think slices of ham sandwich slices and one piece of turkey sandwich slices..should I stop or keep going? I'd really like to keep going but I feel like I have to restart it now...help please..
@cassiopia87 You're correct. It takes 2 or 3 days for the body to turn off hunger after you stop eating. (If you had just waited 36 more hours, you wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the 10 days!) So, you'll have to start over. I recommend you read my book so you'll know what to expect day by day. Or you could get my new Master Cleanse Coach iphone app in the iTunes store. :-)
Thank you for your time Mr. Glickman. I have a few questions. I bought organic lemon juice opposed to lemons. Is that o.k.? and if it is; the bottle says to refrigerate after opening but wouldn't that kill the enzymes? Also, question is if I still have the film on my tongue some people refer to on the 10th day, does that mean the cleansing process is not complete? And my last question. Someone suggested that you eat the pepper and then drink the lemonade if you don't like the taste. Is that safe
@naturallyNOLA Use only fresh squeezed lemon juice. I know for a fact bottled juice of ANY kind is much less effective. Most people get great benefits after 10 days. So, if your tongue is still coated, you can do another MC in 3 or 4 mos. if you have the time & want to go until it turns clear & pink, that's better. However, it usually takes 20+ days. Mix the pepper with the lemonade, don't take it separately. If it's too hot, put less in the drink and gradually increase it as you get used to it.
Thanks for your response...I was also wondering if we should be using the peels or not when we make the lemonade drink. I've been just drooping whole pieces peel and all in the juicer to make the juice but I read somewhere that the amount of pulp this creates causes the stomach to work more therefore causing you to be more hungry. We are using organic lemons, but still wondering if juicing with the peels is the right way to do it... Thanks
@cjmcinty Stanley Burroughs, the developer of the Master Cleanse, said you can add the peel if you are using organic lemons (conventional have pesticides) for a stronger cleansing and laxative effect.
What positive results have you heard from people suffering from anxiety? I've been on the cleanse for 5 days and I don't seem to feel anything yet but a little lighter. I still feel anxious, and my ultimate goal is to get off of medicine I have been taken for several years due to rapid heart beat and high blood pressure that was caused by an acute panic attack from taking a diet pill.
@cjmcinty Please go to TheRoadBack (dot) org. They have a great program you can do yourself. It is better to get off psych drugs that way than with the Master Cleanse. Some of each dose of the medication stays in the body and the Master Cleanse releases too much too fast for some people. The Road Back has a great program. Do theirs and then do the Master Cleanse.
@earthangel1979 Please check the book again. It is very likely you're doing something wrong. Possibly not getting the salt water flush to work with not enough salt.
One last question...can you drink caffine green tea or no cause I have a huge box of green tea and I don't have decaf so is it ok or no? I don't have laxative tea but I have laxatives can I use those?
@shadownap1 No on the green tea and no on the laxatives. Get herbal laxative tea from a health food store, Smooth Move (not chocolate) or Get Regular. And I'm sure this won't be your last question as I've coached almost 2000 people and there are a lot of questions ahead. Everybody has them. So, I recommend you get my book. It's easy to read, fun and 87,000 have bought it so far so it must be pretty good. Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days.
Ah I see ok well thanks for telling me. But I'm gonna say my friend couldn't find the grade maple syrup so she used regular syrup and she's losing weight which is weird?
@shadownap1 Shop health food stores, not grocery stores for Grade B syrup, although any grade maple syrup will work. You can always order Grade B organic maple syrup at TheRawFoodSite (dot) com.
Cayenne pepper is the accelerator for the cleanse. It dilates blood vessels, feeds the heart and breaks down mucus. Don't take capsules. They don't have the same effect as powder. If you don't like cayenne, just use a sprinkle to start and gradually build up the amount. It's a learned taste.
@ajaleone Spring, distilled or purified water is fine. Green tea may be wonderful, but don't drink it during the Master Cleanse. It is a juice fast and anything added to it reduces its effectiveness.
I lost 4lbs in day 1, 3lbs in day 2, and 1lb in day 3. I'm on day 6 right now but I haven't been losing weight after day 3...am I gonna keep not losing weight even if I'm going to do it for 40 days? Cause that's how long I'm going to do the Master Cleanse.
@pattaypotato Sometimes people temporarily stop losing pounds, but still lose inches. My wife recommends ladies also measure themselves at the beginning of the Master Cleanse so they don't get so focused on the weight that they forget the other health benefits of detoxification. Are your clothes fitting more loosely now?
@pattaypotato Some people hit points where they are no longer losing weight, but if they check their clothes or measure themselves, they find they are still losing inches. If you are overweight and go 40 days, it would be very, very, very unusual not to lose any more weight after 5 or 6 days.
Thanks for the tip! I read yesterday about a yoga practice for flushing the gut out. It involves drinking 2 litres of warm / hot salted water over a period of... how ever long it takes. It also recommends eating very light and getting in plenty of toilet paper lol. It's a one week thing. You probably know all about it . I just want to ask you if you know if it's safe? It's only 1 table spoon of salt over 2 litres.
I took your advice and drank the mint tea, but I'm not drinking as much lemonade. I drink the herb tea on mornings and nights, drink about 3 cups of the lemonade and 1 cup of mint tea and I'm satisfied. I may drink water too. Should I force myself to drink the other 3 cups even though it's working like it's supossed to?
@triniwwee The 6 drink daily minimum for lemonade drinks is important. Get your 6 lemonades in each day before you choose to drink any water or mint tea.
@triniwwee Don't chew gum on the master Cleanse. It stirs up your digestive juices and we're trying to give the digestive system a rest. Drink mint tea instead.
@benjovi007 Weight lifting during the Master Cleanse is counter productive. There is no protein to rebuild muscles. But don't worry about muscle loss. After 2 days for women and 3 days for men, the body stops burning muscle for energy and starts burning fat.
im doing the master cleanse and i have a teanager who wants to try it? can she do it? and is she supposed to minimize the dose of the salt water flush and lemonade ???? thanks u have been a great help to my diet!!!
@guzalbarbie Children in their growing years should not do the MC unless they have asthma or something similar. The 2000 Fasting Conference in Buryatia, Russia had several papers on the successful use of fasting for treating asthma. There is no protein for them to use to grow with. It's okay for healthy adults as you can go for at least a month with no protein per Allan Cott, MD ("Fasting, The Ultimate Diet")
@tsoppannos The Master Cleanse dissolves and eliminates waste and fat per Stanley Burroughs, the developer of the diet. Except for possible a few detox days you'll have plenty of energy to do cardio/aerobic exercise. Don't try any weight lifting or bodybuilding. You'll have no protein to use to rebuild muscle. This is not a problem for healthy people. See Allan Cott, MD's book, "Fasting, The Ultimate Diet" on Amazon.com.
Scientists discovered that the human stomach has difficulty absorbing the calories from RAW fruits and vegetables, thats why he lost so much weight. They found that cooked veg yields double the calories of raw. The reason we evolved our calorie hungry big brains is a result of discovering fire and therefore cooking.
PETER: I'm having medical tests, including blood & urine samples, to determine my eligibility for a certain type of medical insurance on my 9th day of the current cleanse that I'm on. Will the cleanse produce any strange readings that could hurt my chances? Should I go back to regular eating a few days before my test and then do the full 10 days of the Master Cleanse later on so that my readings won't be abnormal in any way? I need answers quickly, as this is coming up soon. Thank you!
@scrapattack16 During the MC or any fast, some liver tests will show abnormal readings because of the amount of cleansing of old toxins from the liver. Also, any pH test will show acidic for the same reasons.
Wow, the reason you lost 22 pounds is because you were't getting enough protein, so your body went to your muscles and started breaking them down. Muscle is much heavier than fat. So in the end, this is a very bad thing.
@F430Fill See my reply to Jahkillian below this. The body stops using muscle for blood sugar within 2 or 3 days. You can confirm that in medical texts on fasting, such as "Fasting and Eating for Health" by Joel Fuhrman, MD or "Fasting" by Alan Carr, MD.
@Jahkillian The body does not need protein every day. People who fast for 40 days or more have no problem. Muscle loss? After 2 days or women and 3 days for men the body stops burning muscle for blood sugar and begins to burn fat. So, it's only about 2 pounds. Underweight people usually stop losing weight at that point.
@PeterGlickman I would like to know more about this. Your saying that your body naturaly stops using muscle for food after two days. I have always heard that your body will keep using muscle for energy. How can I find more info on this? Thanks!
@Faust2320 The technical name for burning fat rather than protein after a few days is ketosis. Reference "Fasting and Eating for Health" Joel Fuhrman, MD. p. 12. 1st paragraph
@kalliski1 Ask the prescribing doctor whether you can do the cleanse if you don't eat.. Some medicines require food. Other than that, many people do the Master Cleanse while taking prescription drugs and get great results. By the way, if these are psychiatric drugs, you should visit TheRoadBack (dot) org. This site has instructions for safely getting off such.
@thinkpink1985 Jogging, running, walking, any aerobic exercise is great and you'll find that (except for detox days) you'll have more energy and can do more. However, bodybuilding and weights are counterproductive because you don't have protein to build muscles. Do the bodybuilding after the cleanse.
when i was on a crash diet for about a week i lost like 8 pounds but when i started to eat i all came back? how come will this happen with this diet to?
You're in complete control on how much weight will come back. Eat a raw fruit, vegetable, seeds & nuts diet & you will continue to lose weight or stay the same. Eat junk food & you will put the weight back on. It's the toxins (artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, & sweeteners) & the overeating that put on the weight. The body stores toxins mainly in fat cells. More toxins = more fat cells. Detoxify & lose weight. It's really that simple unless another medical condition exists.
Stick with the instructions as developed by Stanley Burroughs. They produce the best results for most people. So, forget Metamucil. Laxative tea can be found in any health food store, not grocery store.
And you're welcome on the videos. I'm glad they were of help.
Ok so this is my second time doing master cleanse and I feel great! I'm on my 4th day, I had another elimination but I noticed there was blood in the mucus. And I know the difference between bright red stringy blood and cayenne. Anyhoo I just want to know the cause for this. Could it be the Senna or the SWF? Or some underlying issue in my body? Or am I straining? Just wondering if anyone else has reported this. Thanks for your response in advance!
Bright red blood in eliminations is usually from hemorrhoids. If it were from the colon, it would be dark black.
It is possible your hemorrhoids were aggravated by the detoxification. I have a friend who had his hemorrhoids act up on the Master Cleanse (only other person I know of) and they went away after two or three days and never came back.
This is my 3rd day and i feel great! not tired or feeling week instead i have a lot of energy. When I get hungry I just drink the lemonade and it goes away just one thing i have a lil prob w is that I just feel like eating actual solid food again not cuz im hungry cuz like I said the lemonade helps dats the toughest thing out of all this but overall i feel great!
I have a question Peter. I weigh 156 lbs I'm 5'3 and I'm overweight. I would like to lose 15 lbs on the Master Cleanse. How long should I do it for? Like 5 days?
the minimum for the cleanse is 10 days. your body will tell you when its time to stop. some people dont lose any weight til right at the very end of the 10 days, or after and beyond that. If you really want to lose weight aim for 10 days or longer.
You're only scratching the surface if you do the cleanse for only five days. To get the most out of it, it's recommended to do it for a minimum of ten days. Toxins can throw the body's chemistry out of whack. Getting as many toxins out as you can may help your body rebalance itself, and make it easier for you to lose weight.
Hi Peter. I just have a question before I start the Master Cleanse..I have fast metabolism and I eat alot and I'm afraid that it will slow down after doing the Master Cleanse... I'm really really really active I get exercise about 19-23 hours a week .. I'm all muscle ... but theres some problem areas I'd like to get rid of.. I also think its a really good idea for me to get rid of some toxins. So will my metabolism slow down making it harder for me to eat alot of food?
Fasting can cause the metabolism to slow down, but it's not forever. As long as you're eating healthy foods, you should be able to continue eating as much as you need to satisfy your appetite.
I know that this question was not meant for me, but I thought I'd answer it. Tap water is diluted water. It is filled with toxins; so drinking tap water is not a good idea.
I am on day seven of the master cleanse and on day five, I caught a cold. I have not taken anything for the cold, but my question is should I? What caused this cold? Is this the toxins coming out? I am concerned and want to make sure I should continue for the ten days. Please let me know what you think...
I don't earn enough with my books to do all the things I'd like. Strangely, although my book is published in Russia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Korea and Turkey, no Belgium publisher has picked up the foreign rights. There is currently a British book distributor who is carrying the book, if that helps.
Those are good things to do. The reason for additional detoxification is because the body's normal detoxification systems work fine when not overwhelmed. Show me someone who doesn't drink, smoke, exercises, drinks 1/2 her weight in ozs of water every day, doesn't overeat or eat junk food and perhaps that person doesn't need any extra help. For many of the rest of us, the Master Cleanse is great. Try it for 10 days and then give me your opinion.
My sister in-law is doing the cleanse currently, but she decided not to use the cayenne pepper. Will the cleanse actually work for her or is it a complete waste of time?
Cayenne is the best herb for health according to Master Herbalists Dr. Schultz and Dr. Christopher. It dilates blood vessels, dissolves mucus and acts as the accelerator for the Master Cleanse. If she doesn't like cayenne, have her add just a sprinkle of it to each drink and gradually work up to the 1/10 tsp. It's much to valuable not to learn to like.
Hi, i am on the master cleanse diet this is my fourth day. And ever since yesterday i have been retaining the salt water and not expelling it. I am taking the 32 oz with two tsp of sea salt water in the morning and the herbal tea at night. I actual gained two pounds because of the water. What do i do?
When you get the proportion of salt to water right, it won't be retained. Try changing the proportions by increasing the salt a little. You do not want to be retaining 32 oz. of salt water. If you can't get the proportions right substitute another cup of laxative tea in the morning. If you can't do that, quit the cleanse. You don't want to be mobilizing the toxins and not eliminating.
Hi Peter! A quick question. Can I go without the Maple syrup by any chance? It makes me sick every single time. Is there something I can replace it with besides molasses? Thank you for your all the info!
Awesome video! btw my brother used this very popular diet routine known as: Impact 790 Diet and dropped 7 kgs within a month. I cannot really remember the web site just Google it.

I cant wait to try this! But I have one problem, Im trying to quit smoking. Ive cut down a lot (from 25 a day to about 8), but its just quitting completely that Im having a hard time with. If I do the master cleanse will it make my cravings worse, or better? Or could i cut down during the first half and quit in the middle of the cleanse? Or would the cleanse be ineffective with the body having to deal with all those chemicals? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Also well there be a dramatic weight gain after the cleanse due to the body going into starvation mode and will it convert straight to fat as one site sates... why or why not???
angelfiyah 6 months ago
@angelfiyah The body never goes into starvation mode. Only people who have never fasted or seen anyone fast say foolish things like that. See Dr. Alan Cott's (MD) book "Fasting -- The Ultimate Diet" or Dr. Joel Fuhrman's (MD) book "Fasting - and Eating - for Health." Fasting is not starvation. How much weight you regain is entirely dependent on what you eat after the cleanse. Predominately fresh fruits and veggies will keep the weight off. Eat all fresh fruits and veggies & lose more weight.

PLease tell me why the herbal laxative every day and night???
angelfiyah 6 months ago
@angelfiyah Stanley Burroughs, the developer of the Master Cleanse, realized that as the toxins are mobilized they produce unpleasant detox symptoms like tiredness, irritability, headaches, rashes, etc. They are signs that toxins are being mobilized and will be eliminated producing better health. The faster they are gone, the better it is for you. So, salt water flush in the am and lax tea in the evening--every day.

Is it safe to do the MC more then 10 days? Those people on Utube who have done 40 days, is it recommended? Or like u said, do u stop at the sign of your tongue being clear pink? In a way your body tells u by your tongue when to stop really?
LilasRose1973 8 months ago
@LilasRose1973 I know many people who have done it more than 10 days. I know a couple who have done it 40. If on the way to 40 days, your tongue gets clear and pink, end off. Your tongue will show you how your body is doing. The Chinese have used the tongue for centuries.

shamil222 1 year ago
I've been weighing a short water fast versus a 30 to 40 day master cleanse and I believe I have settled on the master cleanse. One thing though, you can keep the salt water flush. I'm not buying into it. People lost at sea who drink the salty sea water die. Intentionally ingesting salt water just to poo like a dying elephant is just plain stupid. Herbal "smooth move" tea and plenty of water ought to be satisfactorily sufficient and avoid allot of the biggest negative of the cleanse-the SWF.
BillionYears 1 year ago
@BillionYears A person can do the Master Cleanse without the salt water flush if they substitute another cup of herbal laxative tea in the morning. However, drinking the salt water flush once a day to clean out the digestive track is fine. What people die from is drinking nothing but salt water for days. For the same reason the salt water flush works (the body can't use it so it's flushed out), it's no good for quenching thirst.
PeterGlickman 1 year ago
@PeterGlickman Hi Peter I am due to start the MC for approx. 21 days, I am going to included the salt water flush but feeling rather apprehensive, I was wondering whether it is safe to consume a litre for each of the 21 days? I need clarification how to go about it, do I do the salt flush in the morning (I am home all day) and continue to drink the recommended Lemon drink and additional water through out the 21 days? I am not able to consume any other liquid, is that right? Thank you

@bakonj You can do aerobics and will even have more energy (except on detox days). Don't do weights or body building. You will not have protein while on it and although that's not a problem for a month or so, it's counter productive to trying to increase muscle mass.

Thank you for pointing out the negative effects of toxins on our body and the importance and benefits of cleansing. My concern with the Master Cleanse is the lack of nutrients in the actual cleanse.
KenEmrick 1 year ago
@KenEmrick Most people's major problem is too many retained toxins. They get the biggest gain from the Master Cleanse. For thousands of years people did water fasts to improve their health. A temporary reduction in nutrients is generally not as much a problem as the toxins.A few people suffer more from malnutrition (not a lack of fast or junk food, but actual vitamins & minerals). They should do a healthy diet first, mostly vegetarian, some raw.
PeterGlickman 1 year ago
@KenEmrick This is a common misunderstanding. If you went to a doctor for a throat infection and he gave you an antibiotic, it wouldn't be healthy to take it for the rest of your life. For a week or two, yes; for the rest of your life, no. A detox diet is exactly like that. For 10 -30 or 40 days, it's great. For the rest of your life, it's not healthy.

@MrMasterplan91 the salt water flush requires you to be near a bathroom you have exclusive use of for up to 2 hours after drinking. Drinking lax tea instead doesn't have this requirement at all. Other than that, you will pee several times a day, but not much more than normal.

JenniferSmith21R 1 year ago
@JenniferSmith21R It depends on what you eat after the cleanse. The body stores toxins in the fat cells. Eat junk (sugar and artificially preserved, colored, flavored, sweetened "food") and your body will store the toxins in fat cells = you get fat. Eat mostly fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies and you will continue to lose if you were overweight or maintain. It all depends on you.

I have 4 more days to go and I'm feeling pretty pretty pretty good, the salt water flush wasn't so bad but the cayenne pepper it's not my thing. I refused to add it to my lemonade so I took shots of the liquid organic kind instead. Get a glass, pour 1 tblspoon of lemon/lime juice or 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 teaspoon of the liquid pepper and mix it in a 8 to 10 oz's of water and chug chug chug. I would do this twice a day.

You don't have to quit smoking to do the Master Cleanse, but if you can you should as it destroys vitamin C in large quantities and leads to gum problems and heart disease. Yes, you also have to drink the lax tea.

@sunshineblake People who have lots of mucus in their system sometimes have trouble with the salt water flush initially. Use lax tea instead. If you stop at day 5 you can do a reduced program to get back to solid food, but I'd stick to the full refeeding plan. It's healthier.

Great video. I remember reading an article about Kombucha increasing the detoxifiction rate. Are you familiar with this claim and is it ok to drink while cleansing? One of the negative effects of Kombucha is acidosis, so my concern is the combination of it with the lemon juice, but it also helps with probiotics which seems good since, being a woman, candida is a concern with all this syrup.

@cassiopia87 You're correct. It takes 2 or 3 days for the body to turn off hunger after you stop eating. (If you had just waited 36 more hours, you wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the 10 days!) So, you'll have to start over. I recommend you read my book so you'll know what to expect day by day. Or you could get my new Master Cleanse Coach iphone app in the iTunes store. :-)

Thank you for your time Mr. Glickman. I have a few questions. I bought organic lemon juice opposed to lemons. Is that o.k.? and if it is; the bottle says to refrigerate after opening but wouldn't that kill the enzymes? Also, question is if I still have the film on my tongue some people refer to on the 10th day, does that mean the cleansing process is not complete? And my last question. Someone suggested that you eat the pepper and then drink the lemonade if you don't like the taste. Is that safe
naturallyNOLA 1 year ago
@naturallyNOLA Use only fresh squeezed lemon juice. I know for a fact bottled juice of ANY kind is much less effective. Most people get great benefits after 10 days. So, if your tongue is still coated, you can do another MC in 3 or 4 mos. if you have the time & want to go until it turns clear & pink, that's better. However, it usually takes 20+ days. Mix the pepper with the lemonade, don't take it separately. If it's too hot, put less in the drink and gradually increase it as you get used to it.

Cayenne pepper is the accelerator for the cleanse. It dilates blood vessels, feeds the heart and breaks down mucus. Don't take capsules. They don't have the same effect as powder. If you don't like cayenne, just use a sprinkle to start and gradually build up the amount. It's a learned taste.

@pattaypotato Some people hit points where they are no longer losing weight, but if they check their clothes or measure themselves, they find they are still losing inches. If you are overweight and go 40 days, it would be very, very, very unusual not to lose any more weight after 5 or 6 days.

@tsoppannos The Master Cleanse dissolves and eliminates waste and fat per Stanley Burroughs, the developer of the diet.

This is not a problem for healthy people. See Allan Cott, MD's book, "Fasting, The Ultimate Diet" on Amazon.com.

Scientists discovered that the human stomach has difficulty absorbing the calories from RAW fruits and vegetables, thats why he lost so much weight.

PETER: I'm having medical tests, including blood & urine samples, to determine my eligibility for a certain type of medical insurance on my 9th day of the current cleanse that I'm on. Will the cleanse produce any strange readings that could hurt my chances? Should I go back to regular eating a few days before my test and then do the full 10 days of the Master Cleanse later on so that my readings won't be abnormal in any way? I need answers quickly, as this is coming up soon. Thank you!

Wow, the reason you lost 22 pounds is because you were't getting enough protein, so your body went to your muscles and started breaking them down. Muscle is much heavier than fat. So in the end, this is a very bad thing.

@F430Fill See my reply to Jahkillian below this. The body stops using muscle for blood sugar within 2 or 3 days. You can confirm that in medical texts on fasting, such as "Fasting and Eating for Health" by Joel Fuhrman, MD or "Fasting" by Alan Carr, MD.

Jahkillian 2 years ago
@Jahkillian The body does not need protein every day. People who fast for 40 days or more have no problem. Muscle loss? After 2 days or women and 3 days for men the body stops burning muscle for blood sugar and begins to burn fat. So, it's only about 2 pounds. Underweight people usually stop losing weight at that point.

@PeterGlickman I would like to know more about this. Your saying that your body naturaly stops using muscle for food after two days. I have always heard that your body will keep using muscle for energy. How can I find more info on this? Thanks!

@Faust2320 The technical name for burning fat rather than protein after a few days is ketosis. Reference "Fasting and Eating for Health" Joel Fuhrman, MD. p. 12. 1st paragraph

Please help. Will the fact that i'm on prescription pills affect the cleanse in any way?
kalliski1 2 years ago
@kalliski1 Ask the prescribing doctor whether you can do the cleanse if you don't eat.. Some medicines require food. Other than that, many people do the Master Cleanse while taking prescription drugs and get great results. By the way, if these are psychiatric drugs, you should visit TheRoadBack (dot) org. This site has instructions for safely getting off such.

Is it ok to exercise during the 10 days?
thinkpink1985 2 years ago
@thinkpink1985 Jogging, running, walking, any aerobic exercise is great and you'll find that (except for detox days) you'll have more energy and can do more. However, bodybuilding and weights are counterproductive because you don't have protein to build muscles. Do the bodybuilding after the cleanse.

when i was on a crash diet for about a week i lost like 8 pounds but when i started to eat i all came back? how come will this happen with this diet to?
Slavisabajer 2 years ago
You're in complete control on how much weight will come back. Eat a raw fruit, vegetable, seeds & nuts diet & you will continue to lose weight or stay the same. Eat junk food & you will put the weight back on. It's the toxins (artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, & sweeteners) & the overeating that put on the weight. The body stores toxins mainly in fat cells. More toxins = more fat cells. Detoxify & lose weight. It's really that simple unless another medical condition exists.

cassablanka1 2 years ago
Stick with the instructions as developed by Stanley Burroughs. They produce the best results for most people. So, forget Metamucil. Laxative tea can be found in any health food store, not grocery store.
And you're welcome on the videos. I'm glad they were of help.

Ok so this is my second time doing master cleanse and I feel great! I'm on my 4th day, I had another elimination but I noticed there was blood in the mucus. And I know the difference between bright red stringy blood and cayenne. Anyhoo I just want to know the cause for this. Could it be the Senna or the SWF? Or some underlying issue in my body? Or am I straining? Just wondering if anyone else has reported this. Thanks for your response in advance!
poofiepoofievern 2 years ago
Bright red blood in eliminations is usually from hemorrhoids. If it were from the colon, it would be dark black.
It is possible your hemorrhoids were aggravated by the detoxification. I have a friend who had his hemorrhoids act up on the Master Cleanse (only other person I know of) and they went away after two or three days and never came back.

I have a question Peter. I weigh 156 lbs I'm 5'3 and I'm overweight. I would like to lose 15 lbs on the Master Cleanse. How long should I do it for? Like 5 days?
misslillyflowers 2 years ago
the minimum for the cleanse is 10 days. your body will tell you when its time to stop. some people dont lose any weight til right at the very end of the 10 days, or after and beyond that. If you really want to lose weight aim for 10 days or longer.
danibayliss 2 years ago 3
Thank you so much!
misslillyflowers 2 years ago
You're only scratching the surface if you do the cleanse for only five days. To get the most out of it, it's recommended to do it for a minimum of ten days. Toxins can throw the body's chemistry out of whack. Getting as many toxins out as you can may help your body rebalance itself, and make it easier for you to lose weight.

Hi Peter. I just have a question before I start the Master Cleanse..I have fast metabolism and I eat alot and I'm afraid that it will slow down after doing the Master Cleanse... I'm really really really active I get exercise about 19-23 hours a week .. I'm all muscle ... but theres some problem areas I'd like to get rid of.. I also think its a really good idea for me to get rid of some toxins. So will my metabolism slow down making it harder for me to eat alot of food?
shayna1714 2 years ago
Fasting can cause the metabolism to slow down, but it's not forever. As long as you're eating healthy foods, you should be able to continue eating as much as you need to satisfy your appetite.

Is normal tap water (in USA) okay for long term consumption
vnck25 2 years ago
I know that this question was not meant for me, but I thought I'd answer it. Tap water is diluted water. It is filled with toxins; so drinking tap water is not a good idea.
SimulationBabe 2 years ago 2
Not really. It's best to use a good quality water filter or buy bottled water.

I am on day seven of the master cleanse and on day five, I caught a cold. I have not taken anything for the cold, but my question is should I? What caused this cold? Is this the toxins coming out? I am concerned and want to make sure I should continue for the ten days. Please let me know what you think...
thara109 2 years ago
It could be possible that it was toxins coming out. The cleanse has been known to help with "mucus diseases" which would include colds.

I don't earn enough with my books to do all the things I'd like. Strangely, although my book is published in Russia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Korea and Turkey, no Belgium publisher has picked up the foreign rights. There is currently a British book distributor who is carrying the book, if that helps.

As long as it's spring water or purified water with no carbonation added, it's fine. Usually, mineral water means added something.

I dont know a much about this master cleanse, but why not just exercise and try to eat healthy?
sharktank29 2 years ago
Those are good things to do. The reason for additional detoxification is because the body's normal detoxification systems work fine when not overwhelmed. Show me someone who doesn't drink, smoke, exercises, drinks 1/2 her weight in ozs of water every day, doesn't overeat or eat junk food and perhaps that person doesn't need any extra help. For many of the rest of us, the Master Cleanse is great. Try it for 10 days and then give me your opinion.

My sister in-law is doing the cleanse currently, but she decided not to use the cayenne pepper. Will the cleanse actually work for her or is it a complete waste of time?
spacehog34 2 years ago
Cayenne is the best herb for health according to Master Herbalists Dr. Schultz and Dr. Christopher. It dilates blood vessels, dissolves mucus and acts as the accelerator for the Master Cleanse. If she doesn't like cayenne, have her add just a sprinkle of it to each drink and gradually work up to the 1/10 tsp. It's much to valuable not to learn to like.

Hi, i am on the master cleanse diet this is my fourth day. And ever since yesterday i have been retaining the salt water and not expelling it. I am taking the 32 oz with two tsp of sea salt water in the morning and the herbal tea at night. I actual gained two pounds because of the water. What do i do?
krystalkayk 2 years ago
When you get the proportion of salt to water right, it won't be retained. Try changing the proportions by increasing the salt a little. You do not want to be retaining 32 oz. of salt water. If you can't get the proportions right substitute another cup of laxative tea in the morning. If you can't do that, quit the cleanse. You don't want to be mobilizing the toxins and not eliminating.
