Disappointment/more Master Cleanser info

[Guest guest]

Sorry Jen!

I hope your ankle gets better soon. You will probably feel better with

the Naproxen for sure (actually, if you're going to take medicine, I

prefer ibuprofen for inflammation and muscle relaxation) Because I am

good at coming up with inflammation and muscles spasms, I often use an

external application of lavender and geranium essential oils. I used

to use just lavender, but I have gravitated to adding geranium oil --

primarily because it seemed indicated when I burned my butt on a

stand-pipe in the bathroom (don't ask), and I still have some of the

mix left over. I like the smell, and the mix works nicely. Lavender

is my first-aid, whatever. I carry it in my handbag.

 

I know how disappointing it is to start the Master Cleanser and then

have to stop. My second time, I started, and then had to visit my

mother at the beach. I took enough pre-mixed Master Cleanser to get

me through the weekend, and they were really cute, putting an empty

glass on a plate for me, but THEN my mom made crabcakes (this was

pre-raw), and I love crabcakes (am working on a raw vegetable

substitute), and, well, I couldn't..... my mom doesn't make crab

cakes every day, or every month, or even every year (at least not when

I am around) and she didn't get it, and she was recovering from cancer

and still made the crab cakes FOR ME... well.... excuses!!!!!!!!

 

So I had to start all over again after four days. What got me through

was knowing that I had made the choice on my own.

The beautiful thing is that you CAN start over.

 

BTW, I was at a natural foods store today and saw the book Master

Cleanser (it was priced at $6.95). I looked through it and found that

it contains pretty much enough to get you going on the Master

Cleanser. The book I have always recommended contains a lot more

information on various dietary and healing techniques-- it appears to

me that Burroughs might have written Master Cleanser first, then

expanded into Healing for the Age of Englightenment.

 

Interstingly, I noticed that Burroughs addresses vomiting as a

possible initial reaction in some people just starting the Master

Cleanser (I recall that someone said she had to stop it because she

was vomiting)

 

I daresay that reading through one of Burroughs' two books on Master

Cleanser would be a good idea before beginning the Master Cleanser --

we can all come up with so many things.... Burroughs addresses just

about everything.
