Herbal Remedies - Lemon and Water Fast

 

Re: Lemon and Water Fast.. Has anyone tried this, and if so, how many days and proportions of lemon to water.

 

This was used as a fast once a week or more, not sure, by many while I was in college, but do not remember the particulars. This would work for people that work many hours a day , and can't take time off to do a Total cleanse. I am on road all the time, but something like this could be done by myself while traveling..

Thank you

what is the water and lemon fast used for mainly? I was advised to use a cup of warm ater with ONLY lemon, no sugar or honey etc so I'm just curious please

[Guest guest]

Lemon and water:

 

5 - 7 drops of lemon juice, 5 - 7 drops of zinger and

slight salt mix up in half glass of warm water is a

juice acts as appetite stimulant. It should be drinks

before meal daily for proper hunger and digestion.

I just looked all over that site. it sounds excellent and perfect for me. my only concern they never addressed and there was no contact info so I wondered if any of you know - I HAVE to take some rx medications. there is no way around them and one, the most crucial one, I cant stop taking for more than 1 maybe 2 days as it will become less effective or not at all and it says to stop all vitamins as well. I could manage that but does anyone know if you have to stop medications also? im assuming you would want to limit them at least to ONLY absolutely neccesary ones but I'd really like to know if anyone knows about this. thanks

What you are talking about is "The Master Cleanse" put it in your search engine & you will find all sorts of info on it I am just completing my 7 days. I wanted to do longer but I can't right now. You do the fast for 7 days up to 40 days. I don't think I would ever last 40 days....lol. But you drink 60 ounces of distilled water with 1/4 teaspoon Cayanne pepper, fresh squeezed lemon & grade "b" maple syrup 2 table spoons of each in each 10 oz glass. You can use Molasses if you don't like the maple. You also do a few other things but you can read about them when you google Master Cleanse. Very important that you read all the stuff.!!!!!!

Hi Melisa,

 

I'd be interested to know what rx medications you HAVE to have, and who told you you have to have them, or how do you know you have to have them?

well- I take mestinon or the generic pyridostigmine- it reduces the acetylcholinesterease giving my limited receptors and acetylcholine half a chance to function at all. before I began taking that med I was in the ER almost daily with severe respiratory distress, sometimes so badly I was nearing failure. I was taking quite a few vitamins and supplements then too which helped but they have tested repeatedly and proven mestinon almost always becomes ineffective after a lapse in using it. I have a number of friends from mg support groups that also take mestinon and one girl has no ins and wasn’t able to fill her rx and now its waste of time and shes in bad shape.

 

I am on a number of others as well, most require a weaning period such as the prednisone (which has been the only thing to help me be able to get out of bed or see at all and after arguing with drs for almost 2 yrsI took the effexor to prove it’s a waste of time but still have to complete the wean as not to cause a problem I never had you know. as for the others they are not very crucial, they mainly manage side effects of mestinon and prednisone.

 

of course I would prefer to be medicine free and healthy but when you cant breathe, chew, swallow, talk or even roll your head on the pillow no matter how much faith you can have in trying a new approach you are extremely careful not to mess up nything. this disease has nearly killed me more than once and I'm far from stable right now and that’s only because of the medications. had they missed the diagnosis any longer than they did, I would be dead now. how I was hanging on the last few months before dx is truly miraculous.

 

in nov of 04 I went into a "crisis" where had I gone to the hospital I would have been intubated and stuck to ivs for weeks. however they had released me that morning from my daughters birth and said that all my "symptoms" were mental and tried to force me onto an antidepressant which I refused so they sent me home - end of story. so we figured going back there would be a total waste anyways. corey would have called 911 had I turned blue but instead I lay collapsed on the bathroom floor for 2 hours to be strong enough to handle corey carrying me to the bed as I was so paralyzed he had no way to keep my throat open while carrying me through the house.

 

the only thing that has saved me in those points is the fact that I can focus on my involuntary functions like breathing and such - if I panic I cant, I must stay calm enough to control my breath and breath VERY slow because the muscles in my throat arent strong enough and begin to close leaving a very tiny airway.

 

it probably seems redundant for someone like me to even seek any interest in natural medicine but I know what keeps me stable - the band aids of mestinon and prednisone, but something caused it and something can correct the malfunction which I seriously don’t think will be done by modern meds. but I really believe I can do this somehow. I have to, I don’t want to live on meds forever and still not be able to have a life outside of bed. the slight stability I have has come only from getting a buildup of the meds I hate unfortunately. I keep excellent records and have noted times, dosages, foods, drinks, everything and document every effect good bad and otherwise so the statements I have made are based on what I have learned to be true. the drs havent been able to tell me anything of ANY use, in fact I think I have been teaching them more than the other way.

 

please, if you can think of any way to help me I am so desperately in need. I feel this traces back to my middle daughters birth - she was very preemie and they gave me a shot of dextamethasone (sp) - some kind of synthetic adrenal hormone, and funny how lily, the baby who was born then became ill same time as me with a neuroblastoma on her adrenal gland causing an autoimmune disorder opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome. adrenal function plays a major role in mg and its onset. yet drs keep saying theres no relation with any of that. I still don’t believe that. I feel I am very close to nailing the link myself and I hope I do for a number of reasons. anyways - I didn’t mean to go on so long, hands are giving out on me. I hope this is something ou can work with. I beg you.

Melisa,

 

I am not a medical person nor an herbalist, so take everything I say

with that in mind. Examine what I say and if it doesn't sound like

it would be wise with your condition - don't do it!

 

Having said that....

 

Your goal is to completely cleanse. I think you know that needs to

happen for you to regain your health. But with your condition, you

need to take things very slowly, one step at a time (which is

basically what you said). I do not think jumping into any kind of

cleanse, Master Cleanse or otherwise, is in your best interest.

 

But that doesn't mean that it's hopeless or that there's no point in

even trying. I think you just have to take things more slowly and

modify it to what you can do. I hesitate to even detail steps for

you to take because I simply don't have enough knowledge of your

condition. Perhaps you should start with simply making sure that

everything you put into your mouth (food or drink) is of maximum

nutritional value. You really do need to eat 100% organic food.

Completely avoid any and all processed foods. This will stop

poisoning your body with the garbage that is in most food.

 

Then, slowly, with a lot of investigative work on your part, start

getting your intestinal tract moving. Try the senna tea if there's

no contraindication. Try doing short-term fresh organic juice

fasts. I would not suggest more than a day to begin with, maybe even

just substituting the juice for a meal at a time for starters. I

would wait in between these short juice fasts to see how your body

handles it. Then, you can gradually increase the length of the fasts.

 

Keep following this pattern, one step at a time, wait to see how your

body handles it, and move towards the goal (slowly) of complete

cleansing.

 

I hope this helps.
