Use fresh lemons or limes only, never canned or frozen lemon juice. Use organic and vine ripened when possible. Also, Mix your lemonade fresh just before drinking. Don't mix it up in the morning for the whole day. You can, however, squeeze your lemons in the morning and measure out the 2 Tbsp when needed.
Lemons, like all citrus, is a good stimulant for your liver.
Potassium Broth -
This is a great-tasting addition to your cleansing program. It helps flush toxins, poisons and unwanted salts and acids while providing concentrated vitamins and minerals. We suggest this with our Rejuvenation Cleanse.
Fill a large pot with 25% potato peelings (peels can be 3/8 inch thick), 25% carrot peelings (juice the rest of the carrot) and whole chopped beets, 25% chopped onions including 50 cloves of garlic (it is not necessary to peel garlic, separate cloves and crush), 25% celery and dark greens. Add hot peppers to taste.Add enough distilled water to cover vegetables and simmer on very low temperature for 2-3 hours. Strain, if you choose, drink the broth several times daily.
The vegetable remains are good for compost
.This makes enough for two days. Refrigerate the leftover broth in a glass container. It is important to use organic
vegetables.If you are not a cook, then substitute Gayelord Haueser's Potassium /Vegetable Broth from Modern Foods, the same folks that make SPIKE. Look for the green box.

If you're one of the estimated 40 million Americans suffering with hay fever and other allergies, you may be aware that natural remedies offer effective relief from symptoms after they start. But even before symptoms start, many have found it helpful to build up resistance with certain natural remedies. Often, doing so can be helpful to prevent and lessen allergy symptoms as runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. You may already be familiar with many of these time-tested, allergy-soothing substances -
Vitamin C...More than just a cold remedy, vitamin C blocks the release of histamine, the substance produced in the body that causes bothersome sneezing, itching and respiratory complaints.
Eyebright...As the name implies, the eye-healthy herb relieves eye inflammation and other complaints due to allergies.
Homeopathic Immunotherapy...Whether you're allergic to pollen, mold, pet dander, or other allergens, homeopathic remedies reduce not only reduce the symptoms, but also reduce the severity and frequency of future allergic reactions.
Quercetin...One of the key factors in allergy relief is to reduce inflammation. This potent antioxidant is a natural anti-inflammatory that also prevents the release of histamine. Quercetin is an effective preventative and treatment remedy for hay fever and other
allergies, and it is found in foods like the apple.
The Apple
Diet: Eat Red and/or Yellow apples for three days
