I have done it once for 40 days...it was tough, as I was surrounded with raw food delicacies ...worked at a raw food restaurant. But I made it. Around the 25th day or so, I started to have slight lightheaded feelings, a bit of hallucinations, and on the last week, I was having weird sensations: for example, I felt I was shrinking, and curling up. I tried not to think about it too much, just kept working, resting when I felt tired. The weird feeling never away, all the way until I stopped the cleanse and broke it with orange juice, then sliced cucumbers. Was it worth it? It was a very amazing experience...overcoming power struggles with food addictions (raw or cooked, if overeating is a problem)..
I have done several many 10 day cleanses, always with maple syrup and lemon.
I also have a couple of airflight attendants that successfully used the master cleanse for losing weight, and get back in control with food issues. One of the girl fell back into her binge, but the other one came out shining...and she is still shining.

I have not done it with maple syrup. Could you tell me what the advantages are? I usually use raw (thick, not syrupy) honey when I do mine. I am looking to do another one soon, and I am curious about the maple syrup thing :-)

Thanks!

Once, just under ten days, lost weight, felt better, sense of smell just went through the roof! Even better than on raw!

I used agave nectar instead of maple syrup.

I was cooked vegan when I did the MC for 5 days. It made me think about food non-stop and feel faint. Being raw and doing cardio for 5 days made me lose more weight than the MC ever did.

Yep, this is probably what I'll do to lose the winter weight, combine my raw with some cardio. I think the extra flab will just melt away. Raw and exercise usually does that to me.

I used agave too. I'm going on banana island this week.

I have done 2 of them, once in December of 2007 and the second one in June of 2008. Both times I used lemons (or limes) mixed with raw honey, and occasionally sea salt and cayenne pepper.

The first one was 6 days, and the second one was 5 days. Very powerful, as it reminded me that I do not necessarily need food to survive.

nice ian.
i read the master cleanse book and stanley boroughs doesn't recommend honey but i'm sure it gets the job done. I realized just how addicted to food i was.
