Introduction To: Social Preparation: Who to Tell About Doing The Master Cleanse

When you do anything in life you inevitably involve other people. As we all know, dealing with other people can either be a source of comfort and support, and it can provide a tremendous amount of pressure which sometimes can seem intolerable. Whether you believe people are inherently good or bad will definitely impact the people you chose to spend time with, but also your general outlook on life, and therefore may reflect on your perspective when it comes the very personal choice of who, if anyone will you share this experience with.

Key 1: A Shift in Cultural Acceptance

Tom Woloshyn has been practicing The Master Cleanse and has been a practitioner of holistic health therapies including The Master Cleanse since it’s invention by Stanley Burroughs in the 1970’s. Tom, author of the book “The Complete Master Cleanse”, and subject of the interview for version 1 of this Mini-Course and Ebook explains that 30 years ago when he first started doing the cleanse that people thought he was “quite insane”

Breaking down walls

Today, we see a major shift in perceptions in people towards almost anything alternative. We can now realize that the way see things isn’t the only way. The internet has played a large roll in the changing of our attitudes. They say that knowledge is power, but what it really is is freedom from ignorance, and from judgement. The more we understand, the less we condemn. Today it is far easier to break down the walls of belief with a little sound reason, and access to google.

Even still, today you will find the best intentioned friends and relatives who will look at you like you have a horn growing out of your head when you tell them that you won’t be eating for 10 days. Now, I often use those words for effect because I like shock and awe. I love when I get a reaction from people. Of course I am leading them to an explanation where I help them understand that although I am not going to be chewing food, I will still be eating; I will be nourished by sufficient calories and nutrients.

    I spend a lot of time hanging out in a restaurant owned by a friend of mine. He was so concerned when he found out I was doing the cleanse he offered to pay for me to see a doctor and have my vitals checked.

    I managed to get through the process anyway. I don’t know if I should consider him as being supportive or being alarmist and trying to scare me off the cleanse.

    I got so many negative reactions that i made a deal with my husband not to mention my cleanse or my being a raw foodist to anyone during the family holidays that just past. I felt as bad at times as I did when I was closet binge eating. It’s had me thinking a lot about how food and society should not mix — like church and state they should be seperate entities.
