any easy suggestions of teas or certain foods that will help me kinda....you know.....clean my system. im not looking for "Colon Blow" per se..that kind of scares me.. but tell me about natural foods and drinks that are readily available that might help me detox. thanks |
Also, cranberry juice. |

Place cranberry juice in a blender, add ice, chop up and orange and put it in the blender too... THE WHOLE FRIGGIN THING... The peel is what is going to help you the most, but I recomend the whole orange because the peel tastes like ass. Then throw in some healthy fruit or ice cream or something to get the taste just right... I don't have a recipe I just winged it. Put in what you think would taste good and be good for you, the orange peel thing and the cranberry juice is important though. Try fresh cranberries if you can get them. I put strawberries in too because, it gave it a really cool flavor... Oh and if its a funky color, try it anyway... Mine always ended up green, but tasted like fruit punch... It worked though. |

okay!!!!! mega water binge here i come. I can honestly say, hokey tea and fruit concoctions aside....water seems liek the ultimate best bet. thanks peep! |
liver tonic sounds nasty. gin tonic. |
and lots of water, yes. |
Just drink the beer, I mean the fruit thing works, but hey you can't beat beer. |
That's all. And a banana a day if you get hungry. Nothing else for a few days. Nada, zip, nope to dope. Then eat whatever you want and continue the pau d arco and echinacea for another week. Do the pau d arco at least daily for the rest of your life. Add to it daily Rene Caisse Ojibway tea, and you'll be well. Don't get hit by a bus |
this should be sufficient. dave THAT REALLY SCARES ME! |
in a related note: i've been suppressing this information for years: I once had a dream about swine. or had a dream in which swine was present. this was a couple of years ago and i was supposed to pick up an old girlfriend of mine at the airport the next day. i was a little apprehensive about this, for reasons i won't go into. in the dream i am at the airport - the big-ass dallas/fort worth airport - and i go into a bar. you know - an airport bar; they all look alike. off in one corner, in a dark part of the bar, swine is sitting slumped against the wall with a bottle next to him. he was thinner than i later discovered him to be and well-dressed. we talked for awhile - i think he gave me cynical advice about women - and that was that. |
you can also try shots of wheat grass. tastes nasty as all getout, but it will clean you out. otherwise, water. lots and lots of water. you might also consider a few days of eating just fresh fruits and vegetables, tofu and fish, and not eating any wheat products. also avoid beef, pork, poultry, eggs, dairy. just for a few days. and keep drinking water. ********** on another note. do you guys have lots of days when all you want to do is drink? not necessarily because you want to be drunk, though that is a bonus, but rather because you actually are craving a certain alcohol? i've been wanting to drink brandy by the bucketloads lately. some days it's all i can do to keep myself away from the bottle every night. |
and yes indeedy! |
i don't know much about teas, but it sure is good. its got chamomile blossoms, hibiscus flowers, spearmint, rose petals, blackberry leaves, peppermint, safflower, lemon balm and lemon grass in it. its gotta be good for me right? |
I also like "Zen" and "Om" Tazos. |
That may partly be due to my lack of a social life, and my ongoing quest to find the lost abdominal muscles of yore, which has changed any craving sI amy have had for booze to those for cookies and ice cream. Damn them! Damn them to Hell! |
