I had a 9 day run with the master cleanser, with a subsequent breakdown around day 6. I jumped back on for the last few days and I'd like to share that as a new comer, I had some really positive results.
I'm 28 years old, slender, diagnosed with Lupus and a bothersome case of psoriasis. I've been in remission for about 5 years from my SLE and I wasn't afraid to try this fast, but I was cautious none the less.
I used the traditional diet with the salt water in the morning and the laxative tea at night. I also bought some bentonite and began using it the second half of my fast. I took 1 tbsp bentonite anywhere from 1-3 times a day, adding it to my lemon drink.
The first 2-3 days I had a pretty bad headache, and spent a good amount of time napping. But I noticed that the maple syrup, lemon blend, was really filling. I think Day 4 I noticed a decrease in phlegm and that my cold was finally gone. Day 5 I noticed an increase of energy. Day 5-6 was the breakdown where I had some bread and ramen. . . so everything after that point is probably abnormal.
Overall, my psoriasis and other rashes subsided, my bowel movements have become regular, and i just feel great in general. It's silly, but i really do feel cleaner on the inside! I am looking forward to doing it again. I suggest you partner up with someone, because you basically become a recluse during this time. And when you end the diet: be careful of the more abrasive spicy/sour meals because your insides are very sensitive at that moment.
good luck!
