The Master Cleanse diet

For 10 days, you may eat no solid food. However, what you may have is up to 10 tall glasses of lemon juice "cocktail" containing purified water, organic lemon juice, cayenne pepper and organic grade B maple syrup. But that's not all you do get to drink saltwater in the morning and a laxative tea at night.
Part of an extreme detoxifying diet called the Master Cleanse; this program began called Master cleanse started over 60 years ago. Invented by nutritionist Stanley Burroughs, who wrote the book, "The Master Cleanser" back in 1976, the lemon detox cleanse has gained a new generation of followers who are buying his book and trying it out for themselves.

When my brother Jeff was dying of stomach cancer we started to talk about Tina. I was at his bedside at the hospital. He had never spoke of her before. He Says "we were lucky to have had her as long as we did ya know". He continues with the story of When we were born and How she was blue and the nurse said she was died but the doctor told her "I hadn't lost a baby yet"  He kept up CPR until she turned pink and started to cry. funny how he didn't give up on her but, many people did at the end of her life (including me) Jeff continues with the story he tells it as though i had never been there or heard it before. we must have been around 7 yrs old and Jeff was almost a teenager we all decide to get out into the snow and walk to the pond we would grab on to the vines that hung from the old trees that leaned over the pond and project ourselves over the ice at full speed. when Tina let go she felt the ice give way and she disappeared under the ice...again someone was there to save her. Jeff had jumped in pulled her out cow poo and all! we would often reminisce and laugh about that time "Tina fell into the pond and cried all the way home covered in cow poo". That was the last conversation i had with my brother. he new he was dying i told him to please if he seen Tina on the other side to tell her "Hi",from me.

 My twin Tina was taken from me at the hands of man. His parole is comming up and im a wreck! Its been 13 year's of pure hell everyday i fight with resentment of other's going about there lives and of him breathing in jail talking to people who he loves and im stuck surounded by memorys of times i took for granted. things i should have done to keep her safe. But as we all know resentment is like swallowing poison and waiting for the other person to die. I have struggled with ptsd from reliving how he killed her everyday my mind wont let the thoughts go away Even at night there in my dreams i become her in my dreams and i am fighting him tring to keep him from stabing me i feel the stabs intering my body it goes on forever and if im lucky i die in my dream. the feeling of being inside the car thats on fire i open the door and tring to get away but i die there just outside the car.

I was talking about how things change but stay the same with a friend this weekend. Years ago i was afraid to speak out against bush because i didn't want to be "dixie chicked" and now I'm afraid to say my president is doing a great job! Considering where he started I'm more surprised than anyone. as a strong women and middle class who loves the Gay's and for that matter anyone else that can relate to being oppressed in the male white cooperated system of greed (shew that was a mouthful!) I now feel the duty to stand up to the bully's. Who secretly believe they will  someday be the 1%!
