How To Handle The Critics of The Lemonade Diet

LemonadeDietWorks — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:09:02 CDT

People can be scared and skeptical of things and ideas they are unfamiliar with. Fortunately, there are ways to handle the sometimes negative feedback you may encounter while on the Lemonade Diet, mostly from those that do not understand or are uninformed as to what it is.

You can start by explaining there are hundreds of thousands who do the Lemonade Diet (also known as the Master Cleanse) and have been for more then 30 years. You can point them in the direction of the website to read the forums and bulletin boards to see for themselves.

Often, education is the best way to handle criticism. You can help inform them that this is a fasting (a type of juice fast, specifically), which has been used for thousands of years to restore health and was the traditional remedy before the introduction of modern drugs and surgery, which is causing America to be the country that spends the most on health care but is only ranked 72nd for health by World Health Organization’s 2000 report.

Your own testimonials can also prove to be an effective way to deal with disparaging remarks from others. Describe all the positive benefits you have experienced, or that thousands of others have experienced during and after this cleanse. You can talk about the increased amount of energy you've experienced, your positive outlook, weight loss and other countless other improvements that may have come about from doing the Lemonade Diet. You can try telling them that the average person can expect cancer, diabetes or heart disease in their lifetime and that you’re not interested in trying to be average.

You might be surprised at how many people will turn around with that speech. Most are scared of anything they don't know about, but they are even more scared of the average person's future.

Your Amazing Liver - Keep It Clean & Healthy

LemonadeDietWorks — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:56:47 CDT

A normal healthy liver weighs about three pounds, yet it is responsible for more than 500 chemical roles for your body. The liver is so important that even if up to 80% of it were to be removed, it would only take about three months for it to grow back to its original size.

The liver is the third most important organ, after the heart and lungs. The body is able to function without much issue with as little as a sixth of your liver. Because the liver is designed in this way, it is usually hard to determine if the liver is damaged until the damage is advanced.

The liver is an amazing organ. It is responsible for making ¾ of your total cholesterol, which is used to produce hormones and bile salts, can store as much as a liter of excess blood for use in times of blood loss or heavy exercise. Your liver aids in detoxifying incompletely digested proteins, excess hormones, drugs, food additives, poisons, etc. The liver can break down and help absorb vitamins A, D, E and K, converts beta-carotene to vitamin A and store excess vitamin A, B-12, D, K and iron. It filters out bacteria in the blood from the intestines, converts ammonia into urea for kidney excretion and is capable of synthesizing up to 4 ounces of glucose daily, when needed, such as during fasting or diabetes. Your liver is also responsible for reducing blood sugar swings up to 65%. Without our liver, we would not survive.

Making sure the liver is not overburdened and working at its peak is critical to good health. A good cleanse, such as the Lemonade Diet, can be of tremendous help by detoxifying stored poisons and other injurious substances in the body to help the liver, along with our other detoxifying organs, work more efficiently at what they do best. Because the Lemonade Diet focuses on cleaning the major cleaning organs, such as the liver, kidney and colon, it is an excellent means to maintain a healthy body.

According to Chinese medicine, the liver works the hardest between the hours of 1 and 3 am, while we sleep, to filter the blood. If the liver is congested, a significant amount of blood may be retained in the liver on arising. Exercising in the early morning, as well as stretching and deep breathing exercises helps get the blood moving out of the liver into circulation and strengthens the liver. Symptoms of a congested liver may include stiffness, numbness in the fingers or dizziness due to lack of circulation.

Why The Lemonade Diet Is Multi-Tasking Extraordinaire

People have asked about adding supplements or psyllium husk to the Lemonade Diet. Because of the proven effectiveness of Stanley Burroughs’ method, any changes to the instructions seemed unnecessary and carried the possibility of altering the outcome.

However, there’s a more fundamental reason for why the Lemonade Diet is so effective and valuable. The Lemonade Diet is not just eliminating waste from the colon (which is why psyllium husk is used in other cleanses). The health benefits from the Lemonade Diet go way beyond this. The power of the Lemonade Diet comes from the fact that it is a juice fast and fasting has been considered for thousands of years as a compelling way to regain health and increase mental clarity and spirituality.

Most of us remember Louis Pasteur, the French scientist who discovered germs and invented the process, Pasteurization, to kill them. Pasteur's germ theory said that disease is caused by specific external hostile, living things (germs, bacteria, viruses, etc.).

However, there was another French scientist, Antoine Bechamp, who at time was a very famous Professor of Pharmacy in Strasbourg, France. Bechamp proved that it was the living environment in the body that provided the opportunity for disease. He demonstrated how the germs from fermented wine could change from one form to another depending on the chemical content of the wine.

How does this relate to fasting and the Lemonade Diet? The vaccination/germs/disease theory of medicine says that there are specific things that cause specific diseases. Find the exact virus that causes colon cancer and you can make a vaccine that will protect people from that disease. (Not to mention the fact that whoever finds that exact single source will become rich by owning the patent.)

The concept of health for the two thousand years prior, said that the body (living environment) causes disease when it is overwhelmed by overfeeding and poisoned by toxins.

What we call disease is merely the body's way of dealing with those toxins. Therefore, anything that allows the elimination organs (liver, intestines, kidneys, gall bladder, skin, and lungs) a chance to focus on purging old toxins (without adding any new ones) will speed its healing. Thus, adding anything to the Lemonade Diet, especially solid food, will reduce the fasting aspect and diminish the results.

I have heard of the cleansing programs and doing a detox program as a means of looking for a better way, so what is does it really mean? This was one of the best simple answers I found in Glickman's book about the Lemonade Diet, Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days.

Many people are tired of not feeling their best and have a sense that they could feel better. It may be worth considering doing some sort of a cleanse to restore good health and well-being. Americans have become accustomed to not feeling their best, but the good news is there is something that can be done to feel better!

When a person does a detox, or cleanse-type diet, she or he is mobilizing the toxins stored in various places in the body and then eliminating them. When they are mobilized, the person may become tired, feel pains or aches and be irritable. These symptoms are signs that something else exists and tell you that toxins have been mobilized. Next, they need to be eliminated. Once they are eliminated, most people you will feel better than before. This is the whole purpose of a cleanse or detox diet: to eliminate toxins so that you feel better and are healthier than you were before.

“Detox” is short for detoxify - meaning to eliminate toxins (poisons). It comes from “de-” meaning down or away, “toxin” meaning poison, and “-ify” meaning to make or do. So, “detoxify” means to make poisons come out or away from the body. The toxins in our case are substances that your body can't absorb and use to rebuild the body. They actually harm your body's cells making you fat, tired, irritable or sick. It is important for anyone doing the Lemonade Diet or any other cleanse or detox to understand detoxification because it is the main purpose of doing a cleanse.

Advocates of doing a cleansing program believe that toxins in the body can cause a variety of health problems, such as arthritis, allergies and asthma. It has been said that cleansing or doing a detox program like the Lemonade Diet removes these toxins. Thus promoting healthy intestinal bacteria; boosting your energy and enhancing your immune system, which would make anyone feel much better.

While there is little scientific evidence to support or refute the benefits of colon cleansing, critics say it's generally unnecessary and at times may even be harmful. Although doctors prescribe colon cleansing as preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy, most don't recommend it for detoxification. Their reasoning is simple: The digestive system and bowel naturally eliminate waste material and bacteria — your body doesn't need enemas or special diets or pills to do this. However, I haven’t yet met a person who never drinks, smokes, or eats junk food and exercises enough.
There is an unmistakable trend that has emerged in the last 10 years. It is the “green” trend, which promotes natural ways over chemical ways. There is now a greater amount of information — websites, articles and books —about a healthier way of life. The "green" trend seems to permeate almost every subject of life these days as the biggest, fastest growing and most encompassing subject of the last decade.

This many people can’t be denied the obvious, they want to change for the better and they will find a way, as the old adage goes... where there is a will there is a way.

That being said, go try the Lemonade Diet, do the colon cleanse, eat those organic veggies and frown at the artificial ingredients in our foods. You go America! Beat your drum! Sound your horn! We will emerge better people.
