I haven't done this master cleanse before, but I suppose I've done something similar this past spring. I kept getting kidney stones, so I looked up natural cleansers, anything to sort of flush out my system. I'll try to dig up the recipe if you're interested, it works well because it doesn't kick you off food for so many days as this master cleanse.
It consists mostly of cranberry, orange, pear, and lemon juice, with flaxseed in the morning and at night. you alternate for two days between this mixed juice, and water...one glass every hour until bed.
After those two days, there's a list of light foods to eat at what times, that you can follow daily to keep your metabolism up and kicking. Its suggested also to do it max every two weeks.
I've only done this once myself, and haven't had a kidney stone since! Funny enough, I lost a lot of cravings for certain bad foods after this cleanse too. It was great though, no bad side effects, it only makes you pee more (of course, drinking THAT much fluid!) I had a HUGE boost in energy (and I'm in my early 20's, so that's saying something) for days and days, and I just felt better internally.
EDIT: Forgot to point out that while on this juice fast I was on, I lost ten pounds or more like it was nothing. heh. It was pretty strange to see weight disappear like that.

That master cleanse sounds pretty stupid though, an act of desperation really...like torturing your body.
