While his diet, the Master Cleanse, has become a household word, very little is known about the\u00a0<\/span>man who actually created the diet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many would be surprised that the diet plan was not actually\u00a0<\/span>devised primarily as a way to lose weight. If you read his book which includes the plan for the\u00a0<\/span>Master Cleanse Diet, you can get a feel for who the author of the plan was and how he\u00a0<\/span>functioned.<\/span><\/p>\n

We know that Stanley Burroughs was a naturopath. According to MedicineNet.com, a\u00a0<\/span>naturopath is a person who \u201cpractices naturopathy, a drugless system of therapy based on the\u00a0<\/span>use of physical forces such as heat, water, light, air, and massage.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

During his lifetime,\u00a0<\/span>Burroughs wrote two books which have become popular manuals for those practicing alternative\u00a0<\/span>medicine. One of these books is called “Healing for the Age of Enlightenment”. <\/span><\/p>\n

His next book “The\u00a0<\/span>Master Cleanse Diet with Special Needs and Purposes” is the book from which the plan for the\u00a0<\/span>Master Cleanse Diet comes.<\/span><\/p>\n

While some think the Master Cleanse Diet is a relatively new idea, it was actually in 1941 that\u00a0<\/span>Burroughs introduced this diet plan. When people read the original Master Cleanse book, they\u00a0<\/span>learn that Burroughs was not trying to formulate a diet plan at all. According to a forward in this\u00a0<\/span>book Burroughs says, \u201cI present this book so that you can help yourself and others. <\/span>Make the\u00a0<\/span>most of this work and know that it is the finest of knowledge in healing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Burroughs goes on to explain he devised the Master Cleanse Diet as a way to heal\u00a0<\/span>stomach ulcers. He indicates in his book a close friend was a test case on the diet and indeed\u00a0<\/span>his ulcer was completely gone after 10 days on the diet. <\/span><\/p>\n

While Burroughs does acknowledge the\u00a0<\/span>diet can hold the possibility of weight loss, this was never the sole intent of his diet plan.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As one reads his book, you will begin to notice the actual diet plan is only a small portion of the\u00a0<\/span>book. Most of the book is taken up in discussion of how toxins cause the majority of human\u00a0<\/span>sickness and the way in which to properly \u201ccome off\u201d the Master Cleanse fast. <\/span><\/p>\n

Burroughs\u00a0<\/span>provides meal plans to follow when you first start eating solid food again as well as recipes for\u00a0<\/span>healthy meals.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

While common knowledge of Burroughs\u2019 Master Cleanse Diet can make you think he was a diet\u00a0<\/span>fanatic, the diet plan was actually created by a doctor of alternative medicine who was looking\u00a0<\/span>for a natural way to heal stomach ulcers and other digestive disorders. <\/span><\/p>\n

His original book does\u00a0<\/span>not claim to make one skinny or happy, only healthy, which he obviously felt was the best way\u00a0<\/span>to be.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
