LEMON DRINK RECIPE
Day1 – the juice of 1 lemon
Day 2 – the juice of 1.5 lemons
Day 3 – the juice of 2 lemons
Day 4 – the juice of 2.5 lemons
Keep
increasing by ½ every day until you reach 5 lemons (this
will really help push the body to a pH Alkaline state which is very
important in overcoming anillness)
Then start to go down by the juice of ½ lemon until you reach zero.
5 lemons would be a reasonable goal for smaller people, children, etc. You can goas high as 10 or even 30 lemons for adults.
You
can add Stevia and of course water; adjust to your own taste. No maple
syrup or any other sweetener if you have cancer. Cancer patients should
not take more than 2 teaspoons of honey per day, so easy on that as
well.
You
do not have to drink the lemon juice all at once. You can make it and
keep some in the refrigerator and drink it throughout the day. It is
excellent to combat nausea. Add a little warm or room temperature water
to the juice as one should never drink cold drinks.
After
consuming the lemon juice, take some pure water, rinse the mouth and
swallow so that you do not have lemon juice on your teeth, which in high
amounts could be hard on the enamel over a period of time.
Once
you reach the 5 or 10 to 15 or 30 lemons in one day start to go back
down slowly decreasing one lemon daily, or one-half lemon daily.
