Summary: A safe conservative course of action
Review: After reading some of the "fright" reviews I had to add my 2 cents in.
This book by Stanley Burroughs has useful methods to allow the body to heal itself. This is a conservative, time honored way to health and healing. His ideas were not particulary new or extreme. They can be found in many books on naturopathy, herbal healing, fasting etc. His Master Cleanser is still used by naturopaths and nutritionally oriented doctors.People have used these concepts or variations of them around the world for centuries.

For those interested in such topics this is a good book to add to their collection. Another good book on this subject is The Amazing Liver Cleanse by Moritz.

Summary: Good for a doorstop
Review: I followed all the instructions in the book to help my arthritis in my hip. Not only did it not help, but my hip actually got worse. I went to my doctor and he read the book and tried to find any scientific support for Dr. Burroughs claims but couldn't. His advice was that the lemonade diet is not nutritionally complete and may cause anemia, which I now have. Maybe this advice works for some, but definitely not for me.

Summary: This guy must be rolling around in his grave
Review: I wonder how this guy feels knowing that more pompus law students read about his trial(s) than there are people who have read his book. To expand on the other post of this guy murdering one of his patients.

Here are/were the facts of the case:

Facts:
The defendant was a "faith healer" type dude who tried to heal a guy who had leukemia. The guy died nastily, from hemorraging of the mesentery in the abdomen, wich was determined by a jury to be a direct cause of defendant administering a "deep" massage. The healer dude was charged with felony practicing medicine without a license and felony second degree murder based on the "inherently dangerous felony" rule. The trial court instructed the jury that practicing medicine without a license is as a matter of law "inherently dangerous to human life". The defendant was convicted on both counts. He appealed.

On appeal his conviction was overturned for one reason only, and I don't want you liberal types who believe this stuff to read to much into it. In California judges tend to use the "in the abstract" test of inherent dangerousness, instead of the "facts of the case" type test, when determing the reach of the felony murder rule. Thus the appeals court looked at the issue: "Is practicing medicine without a license inherently dangerous to human life". The appeals court did not look at the facts of this case but determined this case blind.

Read the book if you want. It will probably be a better book for a chuckle than fact

Summary: Cleansing of your digestive track
Review: Stanley Burroughs has something here... Several of us our following this lemonade diet. I am on day 6 of the cleansing. Another friend is now coming off the diet. We have lost weight, feel great, look healthier and see the difference in our skin, eyes and energy. Most important to stress - - we were NOT hungry doing this regimen. Anyone who says it's hard, or unable to make it through at least 3 or 4 days, is definitely out of control with their eating habits. This has been incredibly easy to follow. The most important thing is to not cheat on it... if you do, your destined to diarrhea and/or major gastrointestinal upset. One person decided to go out on day 12 and eat a normal meal as he'd done before... it did not agree with him. He is doing a second cleanse and is going off this cleanse the recommended way this time.

I have more energy, have been sleeping better, and have lost over 6 pounds. If you need to lose weight, you can lose up to 2 pounds per day on this regimen. It is not difficult or unsafe in my opinion. I now believe it may be more risky to take all those medications out there to heal you of an ailment than to try this for 14 days.

I recommend that all Americans try this at least once in their lives. You will be amazed how you feel after only a couple of days!

Summary: A Great Healer
Review: Stanley Burroughs was a great healer, not a murderer. He healed many people of very serious conditions in his lifetime, and was ahead of his time with his healing methods. Perhaps the reviewer who cites the trial of Burroughs should think about all the drug companies and hospitals that have people dying with their treatment.

His Master Cleanser alone has turned people's lives around. All I can say that it is far safer than most of the drugs out there.
