Modern medicine knows that people can come in contact with the germs that cause the flu and not get it due to a great immune system. What do colds have to do with the cold weather? Why is the flu season during the cold weather? What is the fastest way to get over the flu and how do you avoid them altogether? If your immune system is strong enough then you will not get the flu. When a person's health is too low, the body's intelligence tries to raise it. Its job is to constantly try to make the person healthy and fit, not fat. Its only goal is the best health possible. But people have many other priorities like entertainment, fun, being sociable, making money and being admired. So when your health (immune system) drops too low, the body's intelligence tries to force you to do something about it. Your health and immune system are proportional to how clean or free of toxins the body is. Toxins include the body's metabolic waste. The body is constantly getting rid of toxins but sometimes it gets backed up. **End Summary** Topics: colds]]> flu]]> cure]]> heal]]> lemonade diet]]> lemonade fast]]> cleansing]]> detoxification]]> curing the flu]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Chuck Bluestein is a nutritionist, ethnobotanical herbalist and a master faster.

This is also called the master cleanser lemonade fast, lemonade detox diet and lemonade cleansing diet. It is very popular now. Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 10 days for Dream Girls with it and Robin Quivers (Howard Stern's assistant) lost 73 pounds with it. There are many testimonials of people losing weight and getting other benefits so it is a great way to lose weight before the prom. But there are complaints about it. Many people have practiced fasting including Jesus, Moses, Aristotle, Mark Twain, Hippocrates and many medical doctors. Because of this, it has been constantly improved upon. But because the lemonade diet was created by one person, Stanley Burroughs, it has attracted many people who are afraid to improve on it or change anything about it. So they follow it as a cult. It is like fasting since they are not eating food and consuming water, which is the main ingredient in the lemonade. So they get many of the benefits of fasting like losing weight. The lemonade diet recipe contains these ingredients: water, freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. **End Summary** Topics: lemonade diet]]> lemonade fast]]> master cleanse]]> salt]]> losing water weight]]> enemas]]> prom]]> fasting]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Chuck Bluestein is a nutritionist, herbalist and a master faster.
