Against All Medical Advice

Ney and I are starting a 12-day Master Cleanse tomorrow. For those of you unfamiliar, this is a 10 to 40 day detoxification program to rid the body of toxins. During the cleanse, there is no consumption of solid food, alcohol, coffee, tea, or anything else except these three lovely components each day:
1. morning dose of warm saline
2. 60 - 120 oz of " lemonade" (made with fresh lemons, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper); and
3. evening senna tea.

When Ney first told me about this cleanse one year ago, I told her she was crazy and didn't even consider it for a moment. Now, in the midst of a mini-mental break down brought on by relationship and medical drama and academic insanity, I have decided this mind, body, spirit adventure is just what I need. I will exert control over at least one aspect of my life!

Although I decided to start this blog purely for the entertainment of Ring Leader, I now see the purpose of this blog to document what I hope will be an amazing journey towards inner calm and clarity.

Your friend Ney sounds like she's a bit crazy for suggesting this and you're even more crazy for buying into it.
