Master Cleanse Diet

Diets

The Master Cleanse, also known as the Lemon Cleanse and the Maple Syrup Diet, was created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941. Proponents believe it is a detoxification program that aids in the removal of harmful toxins from within the body. Stanley Burroughs, the creator of the diet, was convicted of murder, which was later overturned, after a patient died while following his advice and doing the diet for thirty days, while rejecting chemotherapy. Burrough’s murder conviction was overturned, but his convictions for falsely practicing medicine and unlawfully selling products used in the Master cleanse, claiming they cured cancer, were upheld. There is neither peer-reviewed nor scientific evidence to support the idea that it brings any health benefits. Some people that have completed the Master Cleanse say it had positive health effects, however this could be attributed to the placebo effect. People also use the cleanse to lose weight, although that is not the aim of the cleanse.
