Has anyone done the Master Cleanse whilst they have chronic fatigue?

The problem I have with cleanses is that I've never understood what they are supposed to clean, other than "toxins". Which toxins? How do you measure them? How did they get there?

My gut is happiest when it gets regular food at regular intervals. It would not like sugar, citric acid, and cayenne. That's just minimally nutritious and sounds like it could be painful.
