Both fast acting. Number two position goes to Kimchi (Korean pickled cabbage - best homemade. Full of good bugs.<br /><br />But the best one is an almost instant hit that requires only a single dose. And it is: Absinth. One shot of this and my liver is back to full health. No matter how rough I was feeling before I now feel great. And it lasts. I thought at first it was an alcohol feelgood thing but a herbalist told me wormwood is a powerful liver tonic. <br /><br />Combine the two and you have a disgusting chewable tonic that could bring back the dead!Mark Swainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777878797576856411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-27096782434942013152012-10-16T08:39:38.320-11:002012-10-16T08:39:38.320-11:00I think I'll start this on November 1st.

I've gotten myself into all kinds of bad habits of late (too much coffee, alcohol, salt, clove cigarettes, sugar - not enough water, sleep, exercise) and I can feel it dragging my soul down. Any chance the book comes with a healthy dollop of motivation? ;)internetg33khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672869878789920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-73469730680980273532012-10-09T02:42:14.144-11:002012-10-09T02:42:14.144-11:00Rather you than me with the chickpeas etc. Mind yo...Rather you than me with the chickpeas etc. Mind you, no doubt you'll look all glowy afterwards and I'll be jealous xxDD's Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398659302311180518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-20072849647722879712012-10-08T05:54:01.639-11:002012-10-08T05:54:01.639-11:00@Rachel.. :) C'mon, hon...you can do it.

And, like I say - your body sorts itself out quite naturally - providing you don't overload it with crap.<br />Aaaagh, I haven't written the post clearly enough, have I? Sorry.<br /> <br />Some people don't suit dairy - or vice versa - it can be mucus-forming (so the body would see it as an enemy) and ditto wheat. <br /><br />The majority of people who might benefit from a 'detox' are those who are eating a lot of processed food, lot of sugar, lot of fat, lot of alcohol etc. <br /><br />Maybe the word itself is offputting... <br /><br />This isn't a particularly purgative or restrictive diet...it's purely a vegan diet without muffins really. :) And some people find it easier to follow a 'plan' - rather than the just avoiding bit. I guess that's psychological. xx Exmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-50681560158450551382012-10-08T03:45:26.666-11:002012-10-08T03:45:26.666-11:00Can someone explain to me why, if you are eating a...Can someone explain to me why, if you are eating a balanced and healthy diet, you would need to detox and put you body through these extreme purgative type processes. Detox presupposes I ingested a whole lad of toxins? Yes?<br /><br />Today I ate an apple and a pear I grew myself with no chemicals, along with some whole meal bread and vegetable soup (you got it I grew them too) that I made. I also had some oat porridge made with cows milk. I havent eaten any salt. I havent eaten any refined sugar. Later I plan to eat something made from eggs that came from my back garden. Can someone please explain how anything I consumed is toxic? Would it not be simpler to just avoid whatever it is that is toxic? Sorry to appear so thick, but I really dont get this at all. xxxxxxxxZoëhhttp://zoelynch.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-50805800293140403292012-10-08T03:28:40.807-11:002012-10-08T03:28:40.807-11:00Thinking about it very seriously - I've just o...Thinking about it very seriously - I've just ordered a pizza meanwhile.
