I always want to do a dance around a bonfire on the solstice. It's a major turn-around date for my Seasonal Affective Disorder. Even though, as the shortest day of the year it should be the worst, it means it's not going to get any worse...only better from here on out.

I didn't really plan a solstice liver cleanse, but I did one. I'd been trying to get around to it for a few weeks, and decided yesterday that it was time. I'm glad I did it. I'm no expert on it, so if you have questions, hop over the the forum and ask Heidi or Jim. I do recommend the apple juice or malic acid to prepare for it. My first flush years ago was hard and a bit scary, and I expected this one to be hard too, but it all went as planned with no surprises, so I'm happy. The results have been decent, and I expect to find that some of my little nagging health concerns will dissipate now. I'll go into more detail on that later.

I don't really think of myself as a health or cleansing nut, what you decide to do in that regard is a personal decision, based on your own health history and feelings about your health future. I do think the BTD alone does the most good out of anything, and that over time your body will cleanse itself, but I was getting a bit impatient Don't expect me to do a Master Cleanse, ever, though. I can't stand fasting, just 12 hours of fasting for this was more than I could handle. Then I have to feed my son, and he tries to feed me...it's tough going. I'm happy to eat my steamed and roasted vegetables now, it's so nice have food!!
