This one is easier and doesn't require a juicer. Just want to give some new ideas to the lemon water routine we all should be on.

Oo! PeteZa that recipe reminds me of when I did the Master Cleanse (or known as the lemonade fast) several years ago. I lost 17 pounds and never felt so clean in my life.

But I learned that once you add the cayenne pepper you must drink it and not let it sit around or it gets hotter and hotter. I learned this when I pre-mixed a bottle of the lemon and cayenne and maple syrup to take to work and oh! did that cayenne ever get hot. Wowza.

Word to the wise, lol.

Now I just wonder what the Master Cleanse would do for the lyme disease? Hmmm. Might be worth a try.

I get bored easy and lemon water is boring after all these months. So I looked to jazz it up. I have never let the cayenne one sit.

Thanks for the warning!!

One of my favorite cold morning drinks is

Apple juice (I add pure water to water it down 50/50)
Great Lakes gelatin
scoop of Green Vibrance (I never can eat enough vegetables in a day and this helps get them in me)

Mix and heat in the microwave - It is nice on a cold winter morning.

This would be a good place to list the liver/gall bladder cleanse I usually do twice a year for the last almost 6 years and is the one that my practitioner that helped me heal from these infections got me started doing.

30 minutes before eating anything in the am (coffee or tea first is okay though): mix 1 cup of fresh squeezed Orange juice (must have 1 - 2 ounce of lemon or lime juice as well)

1 - 2 cloves of garlic, freshly squeezed

1 tablespoon of olive oil

a few drops of ginger juice

This is drank for 10 days in a row, then a 3 day break, then do another 10 day on it, or when you see plenty of bile in your stools (they will look dark green!).

Traveler, do you think this would be helpful for someone to do that had their gallbladder removed? I mean, the liver still needs help, right? My husband had his gallbladder out years ago but I'd be willing to do the juicing work for 2 if you think he'd benefit.

Also, what did you notice as a result of doing this?
Posted 1/3/2016 2:36 PM (GMT -5)
Yes, it's safe for most that no longer have a gall bladder. I have used it only after having my gall bladder removed. It was removed in 2008 - after my failed attempt at using abx to heal. I started using this recipe twice a year (or more) starting in 2010.

My understanding is that the only thing this cleanse does is to force the liver to produce more bile - and since bile is stored in the gall bladder so that it can 'dribble' out as we eat to help aid in the digestion of fats and our food, those without a gall bladder can use this every few months if need be. As I said, I use it twice a year to help prevent my liver from being 'full' or congested. My stools can become pale looking (or even orange! That's weird) and I get liver aches and pains. After using the cleanse, I no longer have those things, and my stools are dark green like they should be (sorry for the TMI!!).

Oh thank you Traveler. What a good cleanse.
Posted 1/3/2016 9:00 PM (GMT -5)
Good tips! Thanks for the info.

Trav: question: how does one freshly squeeze garlic? Cloves are so small. Do you mean grate it and add to the juice?
Posted 1/3/2016 10:18 PM (GMT -5)
Grate it into a couple layers of cheesecloth and twist it til the juice drips out?

You can actually get garlic juice (ginger too) from Amazon.

When I was really sick that is what I did. I did not have the energy to use my hand held garlic press or to even slice garlic and eat it. I had to do purchased garlic juice. Same thing with the ginger. I could not even stand long enough to clean and peel the ginger, let alone juice it. I bought it.

It is better than not doing it.
Posted 1/3/2016 10:46 PM (GMT -5)
You could do as Tillybear suggests, or you can just grate it into the juice, or you can use a garlic press.
Posted 1/3/2016 11:00 PM (GMT -5)
Traveler when I was really ill I could not even press it. I was too weak. Amazon was my friend....
Posted 1/3/2016 11:17 PM (GMT -5)
I agree, I just didn't see your post before I posted is all. I had to take all kinds of short cuts when I first-round started detoxing. I couldn't even stand on my legs for more than 7 minutes. There are very few things you can do in 7 minutes when you are trying to detox and are living alone. My hubby was working out of state at that time.

There were many times I had to decide whether to not do something or take short cuts. What I decided is that, usually, any is better than none - even if it's not of the highest quality.

And Amazon is still my friend!! turn

Yep, mine too. I was ready for knee replacement surgery and then got bit. The buggers wrecked havoc on my knees and now I barely grocery shop. Amazon prime here I come!! LOL.

I really need the knee replacements, but I need to get stronger than this for that major surgery.
Posted 1/3/2016 11:32 PM (GMT -5)
I'd totally buy it if that was the best option. I love Amazon, too. Why don't I own stock in that company?
Posted 1/3/2016 11:33 PM (GMT -5)
Yep, adrenal fatigue has me wishing Amazon would deliver ALL my groceries! LOL! turn
Posted 1/3/2016 11:35 PM (GMT -5)
Well out here we have organic farms that deliver boxes of organic food to your door every week (for a price) and it is seasonal. I am too darn picky on my veggies to have someone box me up stuff. But..... never say never.

Stock in amazon... hmmmmm I already have stock in UPS, might as well do Amazon. LOL!!
Posted 1/3/2016 11:39 PM (GMT -5)
You can get a lot of groceries delivered by Amazon. They keep me in staple items as we live out in the boonies, too. Plus you can get odd stuff like Tamarind paste and whatnot.

But, for some things Costco has beaten Amazon in my book. But I have to go there. :/
Posted 1/4/2016 6:18 PM (GMT -5)
Those services aren't available out here in my boonies! I would have taken advantage of them when I was really sick!

Amazon doesn't carry quite the things that I use most often is all. I'm sure they will soon enough, I just don't see them closing down any time soon, so I expect they will expand their selections.

I just way to say, maple syrup with a little cayenne sounds absolutely delicious. On some chicken. Over a bed of rice.

I hate you right now, Tilly, and hate myself for looking at this thread.

lol

Thanks for the info re squeezed garlic. Sorry it was such a stupid question lol.
Posted 1/4/2016 9:35 PM (GMT -5)
Are you kidding? With brain fog, there are no stupid questions!! You were unsure, so you asked! Nothing wrong with that.
Posted 1/4/2016 9:43 PM (GMT -5)
Trav. It can be lemon or lime juice ? Or need to put these together. With orange juice? I don't drink orange juice. It has too much sugar and it has never agreed with me.
Posted 1/4/2016 9:47 PM (GMT -5)
would grapefruit work? But, I think grapefruit interacts badly with lots of meds so maybe that wouldn't be good.
