A note on cleansing (it's day 2 for me.)
2nd day of the Master Cleanse. Doing better with it today... Not so sapced out/dizzy... Tried something a bit different today... I went out and bought my self a GEROLSTEINER carbonated water... What's that you say? It's an avoid for us type A's!? I know... Carbonated water is an avoid for A's as it lowers their already too low stomach acid/intestinal alkaline phosphatase levels... NOT GOOD when it comes to digesting your food efficiently... But... I'm not eating any food! Ha! I'll be exploring a few more of these loopholes as I go...
Bought a citrus juicer at WAL*MART today... Way to support Big Corporation Jim... I'll return it after the fast. Ha ha! Use it, then bring it back... I just got sick of getting the juice out of all these damn lemons by hand... The organic ones are SO TINY! It takes quite a few.
Paul wrote an excellent blog on the cleansing fad. And, although I agree with him most of the way... I must say, the Master Cleanse is no fad... It's been around since 1940, and has been a blessing for MANY thousands of people. I can see how it may sound/seem strange to the uninitiated, but it's a very powerful tool to rid the body of waste that plagues it unbeknownst to you. People that binge, then detox are on a roller coaster from Hell... If you go back to an unhealthy lifestyle. The cleanse was all for not. I however, do follow a healthy lifestyle. I'm simply doing the cleanse as an adjunct to it. To make up for a time when I didn't lead such a healthy lifestyle. And to target a scary ailment that has been ailing me for some time...
Maple syrup and lemon juice are NOT nutritious enough to sustain a person for life. But if you do your research, you'll find that organic grade B maple syrup, and organic lemon juice contain all the vitamins and minerals the body needs to sustain itself througout the relatively short process (10-40+ days.)
I agree that people who binge, then cleanse, are no better than bulemics. But, when you use fasting/cleansing properly... It can do a world of good for the body... Even save lives. If only we all lived right for our type from day one... Huh...
I'm not gonna spell check this so... Sorry! Later gang. And thanks to those writing in with support and questions. I appreciate it! Thanks to Paul as well. He wrote me a nice note before posting his blog on cleansing... To soften the blow you could say... Hust kiddin' ya'. We all love 'em. Late!
