I have seen the Master Cleanse work very well for diabetics and I have heard of a case where it did not appear to work for a person. So, I am faithfully passing along Stanley Burroughs’ instructions for diabetics as written in his book, Healing for the Age of Enlightenment. If you are a diabetic and wish to do the Master Cleanse, regularly test your blood sugar levels and do it in consulation with a licensed health care practitioner.

To start:

• 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice

• Barely 1 tablespoon of molasses

• 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or to taste

• 8 ounces of medium-hot (or cold if you prefer) spring, purified or distilled water

• On following days, gradually increase the molasses by fractions of a tablespoon while monitoring blood sugar and reducing insulin. When 2 tablespoons of molasses have been achieved, check to see if it’s possible to eliminate the insulin. Then use 2 tablespoons of maple syrup per drink.

You may drink as much herbal mint tea and/or water as you wish, providing that you drink at least six lemonades per day.

If you are on medication for high blood pressure, be aware that the Master Cleanse lowers most people’s blood pressure. It is well documented in scientific literature that fasting lowers blood pressure.⁴⁸ This means if you are on medication for high blood pressure you will need to coordinate with a licensed health care practitioner as it is extremely likely that your blood pressure will come down. Likewise, when standing up from a sitting or lying position, do so slowly as you may feel dizzy.

If you are on anti-depression medication, consult with your prescribing health care practitioner. Some medications require food, others may require a lower dose while fasting. If you are interested in coming off these medications, visit www.TheRoadBack.org. But do not combine their program with the Master Cleanse. Do their program, then the Master Cleanse.
