ritagodwingerd answers:

Yeah he gained a ton of weight for that movie. While it is good for detox, it is probably better that you do a all fruit, water, and vegetable fast. The lemonade diet lacks important nutrients. But let me tell you something you need to prep yourself before you do a diet like this. By at least one day during the week, do the fast. After about a coupel of months then you can do the ten day fast. If you dont let your body get used to it, you will have trouble. And just to let you know, you are going to be in a pretty bad mood, you will have body odor, bad breath, because your body is cleaning itself out of all the toxins. Also, when you are done with the fast, you cant just jump into meals with like chicken or stuff..you have to ease your way back into meals. I suggest you do research before you start this. Your main goal shouldbe getting healthy, not losing weight. But in the end being healthy will translate into pounds lost. But i dont reccommend you do the lemonade thing, because it lacks nutrients which you need. Good luck.

ritagodwingerd answers:

The reason you aren’t having a bowel movement is because there is nothing for your bowels to move. Liquid gets directed to your bladder mostly. The little that is left over with the food, gets used up in your colon so you can have an easy movement (as opposed to rough and difficult to pass). Your body is also getting rid of toxins when you pee. Not just when you pass stool. If anything it may end up giving you diarrhea in the end because the liquid that is collecting in your colon will eventually come out.
I’m not going to lecture, because it is obvious you don’t want one (and really who does), however let me just say this. On day 10 when you go back to eating, eat slowly and small amounts at first. You may give you a stomach ache if you start eating normally again right away. So start off with light things in small amounts and be careful.

ritagodwingerd answers:

Hav’nt heard abt it

There is a FDA approved patch available in the market that eliminates these toxins when you sleep. It is a natural, safe and effective process. These patches are called Kinohimitsu health pads. Kinohimitsu means tree secret. They use the principles of reflexology and can be applied to soles of the feet or any part experiencing pain. This pad reverses the damage caused by the positive ions, leading to improved breathing, better immunity, detoxification and general wellness.

It contains the actual Japanese tree extracts and negative ions as its main constituents. Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an additional electron and are found abundantly in natural areas like waterfalls, forests or seashores. These give us the refreshing feeling when we are close to nature. These negative ions play a positive role in destroying the toxins and improving the overall feeling of wellness.

No because the juice is based off of concentrate and full of corn syrup. You will not be detoxing at all. Drink a lot of water and a lot of fruits do give off a lot of juice but they can only be mixed with certain veggies. The library has a lot of books with varied recipes.

ritagodwingerd answers:

All I can do is speak from personal experience.

Just to put this into perspective, I’ve been doing juice fasts ( made with a juicer from fresh fruits and vegetables ), and true fasts ( as described in The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book I ), ever since the 1970s.

Yes, you’ll release toxins from all over your body, muscles included.

I’d suggest, though, that if this is your first fast to stay away from lemon juice. Lemon is a POWERFUL cleanser, and you don’t need to go that fast. It can be too much!

My last 3 fasts were for 39 days each ( do NOT try a long fast until you’ve done many short fasts, and learned HOW to stop a fast and a few other things ).

DO enemas ( this is a WARNING if you do not ).

If you don’t

There’s no sure fire of detoxing thc from your system quicker. People say cranberry juice, vitamin c, water, excercise, this and that yada yada. No one knows but these things can’t hurt.
It takes time and the longer you’ve smoked the longer it takes for the thc to get out of your body. Think at least 30 days if you’ve been a heavy smoker for a long time.

Good luck

ritagodwingerd answers:

Okay, calm down about it. It really isn’t that big a deal. You have 12 days, I suggest you work out as much as possible for the next week or so (no longer than 7 days, i’ll explain in a min). Then stop, working out will cause the thc to leave your system (thc is held in fat, thus the reason for exercise). For the last couple days don’t exercise as much (so the thc leaving slows). If you have a detox kit, go ahead and use it on the day of the test.

Many people might argue with me but I’m going to tell you like it is. Don’t waste your time taking viniger shots everyday, or drinking tons and tons of fluid for the next 12 days (it will just leave you feeling really bloated). Since the thc is held mainly in fat, the next day thc is just going to fill your system again, thus the idea occurs to drink more water. Just make sure (especially if you don’t get a detox kit) to drink about a gallon of fluids in a 1-2 hour period before your test. If your lucky they won’t do it right in the morning, and you might have a chance to make this all work out (2 points for optimisum). Then after the gallon of fluids, take a vitimin b-12 (your detox kit should have one/two). This will give you piss color back. Unless you take vitimins daily though, I suggest you drink another cup or two of liquid and take a piss, so the color isn’t such a neon piss color.

It would help if you stated how often you smoke (since your a “kid” I assume daily, although you don’t have to be a kid to do that). If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Edit: Also, one more thing. In case you are wondering how lond it stays in your system, it depends on how often you smoke, your height/weight. HOWEVER, marijuana won’t stay in your system longer than 45 days (It’s either 45 or 30, can’t remember. No weed tonight so I’m not thinkin straight XD). I’ll save you the long scientific explaination about it though, just FYI though, if you don’t wait the 45 days, and smoke, however many days you have left to wait, just doubled (stopping at 45). From what I’ve found, this is the explaination of marijuana’s “half-life”. If you haven’t taken Biology yet you’ll learn about half-life soon enough.

Edit: Wow… That’s a long answer. Sorry, I hope this helps you though, the people here are incompetent.

Spagetti squash. It works like pasta and it’s really easy to make. Lots of fiber, folic acid, magnesium, beta carotene and omegas.
Cut a spagetti squash in half
scoop the seeds out
put it in a baking pan, cut side facing down
fill it with an inch or so of water
bake it for an hour and fifteen minutes
scrape the sides out with a fork.

It should come out fairly easy and it will be like spagetti. It’s cool.

I always make a sauce for course…. Just get a big pot and throw in portabella mushrooms, onions, garlic, at least three mid-sized tomatoes, pepper, and whatever else sounds good to you at the time as long as it’s a vegetable. If you need to you can add a little water but I wouldn’t add more than a tablespoon because it will be better if you just get the juices from the vegetables.

And, by the way, dude below me… That is a detox diet. It just takes dramatically longer than a water fast. Ten days might not make much of a dent in overall health, though you might lose a few pounds.

A serious slimming diet should not drop below the daily 1200kcal

Skipping breakfast is wrong, harmful and fattening.

Losing weight Eating: rules to lose weight by learning how to Never Do not skip meals:

1) Start the day with a hearty breakfast on dairy foods, carbohydrates, sugars, should never be lacking, or you run the risk of dangerous attacks of hunger, fasting in the morning does nothing to reduce the weight.
2) In each meal should never miss a portion of carbohydrates, preferably wholemeal. The fiber-rich grains are carbohydrates that increase the feeling of satiety and help the ‘gut.
3) There must always be present in every meal, a good portion of seasonal vegetables, contain anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals and protect against diabetes, heart disease, cancer and obesity.
4) Give yourself two snacks a day, preferably fruit / yogurt, never to spend too many hours between meals’ s another.
5) Better not to abuse the cheese, maximum 2 times per week (3 times if thin as cottage cheese, flakes of milk ..) contain protein, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin A but also a lot of fat
6) Eating fish at least 2 times a week, is rich in phosphorus, proteins, vitamins and Omega 3.
7) At least 3 times a week, one of the main meals should be a main dish, soup, vegetables and cereals with a side of vegetables. That’s fine too un’insalatone with egg, ham or tuna with low-fat mozzarella or 50 g. Wholemeal bread. Pasta or rice salad with spiced vegetables. Season the pasta with vegetables, rich in vitamins, such as tomato, zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, asparagus, fresh tomatoes, spinach.
9) Limit the sauces with meat sauce, bacon, cream, 1 to 2 times a week, being very rich in calories, you will only follow a side dish of vegetables.
10) In the same meal two unmatched calorie foods, such as you avoid eating meat more cheese, bread and pasta, potatoes and bread.
11) The method of cooking is important, prefer boiled, steamed, grilled, braised.
12) Avoid fatty sauces, vegetables better to use water or vegetable broth, wine, tomato sauce, spices and herbs. Limit the use of salt increases blood pressure, fluid retention, which helps increase the swelling and cellulitis.
13) Do you prefer the ‘extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons daily, preferably added raw to cooked.
14) Limit your intake of sweets, if you want a meal and not as a snack.
15) Drink at least a liter and half-2 liters of fluid a day, avoid sugary or carbonated drinks, water or unsweetened drinks, which help the body to purify itself by eliminating toxins. Excellent tea.

You wont see results because the lemon is the trick

ritagodwingerd answers:

I lost my weight through diet and exercise.
The lemon detox or master cleanse/starvation diet you are referring to is a calorie deficit program.
You will lose a few pounds but when you start eating again you will probably gain more weight. You will lose weight on this diet. The average adult American has eight meals in their digestive system. Five more than they should. By going on a deficit diet like this you can lose around 10 pounds just by not eating. But it is only the weight of the food in your digestive system.
So it does work. But it does not change your size. Pour the soda out of a bottle and the shape of the bottle doesn’t change does it?
Once you start eating again you just replace all the missing food in the system. The signal these starvation diets send the body is that there is no more food available.
The body immediately stores any fat it can and begins to burn muscle mass for fuel instead of the stored fat (metabolism). Stored fat will be used as a last resort when needed.
The complete opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.
There is no build up of bad plaque, toxins, or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.
If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their small intestines couldn’t absorb nutrients.
The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?
Detoxing is ridding the system – liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Our liver and kidneys aren’t clogged with toxins. Otherwise we would be dead.
The liver does in fact get layered with fat when we become overweight.
Additionally, many toxins are stored in our fat cells so in order to truly “detox”, you need to lose excess body fat as well.
We “cleanse and detox” naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
Read food labels. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t put it in your body.
A healthy high fiber diet works every time.
Increases the speed and efficiency of the digestive system and helps the body rid itself of both internal and environmental toxins.
Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
Search “gut flora” to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
We have more beneficial bacteria in our digestive systems than all the cells in our bodies!
Did you know the digestive system is one of the largest contributors to our immune system?
They don’t tell you about the gas, cramping, and bloating you will experience when you start eating again and the body has to rebuild this bacteria population.
Spend your money in the produce department.
Good luck.

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of toxins. Toxins come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The toxins get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the toxins by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better.

Detox is basically to get rid of all the toxins and heavy metals in your body, so that all your internal organs can heal or function properly.

Easiest way to detox, without buying something expensive:

Over the weekend, eat nothing but fruits and liquids. Try and get sleep as much as possible. If you’re hungry, eat more fruits.

Try first for 2 days, then have normal food for 1 day (but don’t overeat) then do it for 3 days, then have another 1 day normal food.

Clean up your colon in no time! And because of the fruit intake, your body burns the fat faster.

ritagodwingerd answers:

Sorry, I cannot recommend any detox diets. You are more likely to mess up your health from trying to detox than to eat a regular well balanced diet. The Lemon Maple Syrup Diet or any Juice Fast that you might have read about may only screw with your electrolite balance and cause more feeling of malaise. (This is what Dr. Oz says about detox.)

Maybe you need to make an appointment with your health care provider to rule out any infections or viruses that may be making you feel bad.

ritagodwingerd answers:

As per medical researches, the specific density of salt water is nearly similar to blood. Hence, neither do the kidneys absorb water from the solution, nor does the blood extracts salt from it. This way, salt and water is circulated throughout the body without getting interrupted or separated from each other. As the salt water passes the body systems, it breaks and loosens accumulated wastes, which are then expelled from the body through the bowels.

Many people have done it. I think you have to use some common sense when it comes to any nutritional diet.

ritagodwingerd answers:

Lol..trust me, it isn’t worth it. It sounds like one of those bogus fad diets. From my personal experience, diets don’t work cause you’re depriving yourself and sometimes leaving out basic nutrients your body needs. Detox is even worse! The reason why you were so hungry is because you were dehydrated and depriving your body and starving yourself can actually make you gain weight cause your metabolism shuts down and your body goes into hungry mode storing unwanted fat. The trick to losing weight is to simply eat healthier and for a lot of people that’s easier said than done; it takes practice. Eat foods that are rich in fiber and protein such as vegetables, fruit, whole grains, unprocessed meats, and yogurts. Over time, this will curve your appetite and you’ll stay full a lot longer. Eat at least three healthy meals every day-try not to skip breakfast. Get regular exercise too. Diets don’t work–healthy habits do. Best of luck.

ritagodwingerd answers:

What’s that?

****************************************

in the diet you only drink the detox? You don’t eat food?

For at least 10 days, drink around 10 servings/day of the following:
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice NOT BOTTLED JUICE!! (approx. ½ lemon),
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup,
1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper), and
1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.
(This is what I did) This is the equivalent of taking an empty gallon water jug and filling it with:
the juice of 5 lemons
1 1/4 cup of organic Grade B maple syrup
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
10 cups of water
Shake it all up and you got your days’ serving!

Squats do not really make your thighs bigger, but they do make your thighs firmer — and fast. Remember, fat takes up less space than muscle, so even though your thighs feel harder after squats, they are actually smaller and take up less space.

I did the master cleanser, and it “works.” You do lose weight primarily because you are on reduced calories and, in addition to weight loss, you do some cleaning of your system because your intestines and colon get a much needed chance to rest. My experience though, is that after about the second day or so, I was no longer hungry, but by about the 6th day, I started to get heart palpitations, which some people get when they are on liquid diets. So you have to be careful. Also, if you are doing the master cleanse for weight loss, my experience is that the weight came right back when I went back to eating normal foods. So, I think that while it does “work” you should be careful when using it. Good luck!

I agree that you are likely reacting to sulphites, and/or the fact that wine contains histamines, which cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction within the body.

Do not take anti-histamines (i.e. Benadryl) with alcohol, you should avoid wine completely.

Yes, you should avoid wine completely, but if you inadvertently find some in your food (i.e. Sauces), be on the lookout for more serious symptoms. If you develop trouble breathing, swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, or feel faint (low blood pressure), consider a serious reaction and/or anaphylaxis, call 911 and and head to the ER. You may want to look into formal allergy testing, in the case you may need to carry an epi-pen with you at all time.

Although your reaction does not sound severe, food allergies always carry the risk that they can result in a severe reaction. Sulphites, although not as commonly as peanuts or shellfish, can cause serious allergic reactions.

There is no “natural treatment” for heartworms that has been proven effective.
“Is there an effective natural prevention for heartworm?
Answer No, there is no natural prevention for heartworms.”–

http://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/faqs.html#q20

You will NEVER see heartworms in feces. They do not spend any part of their life cycle in the GI tract nor are they eliminated through the GI tract when the adults die. Dead heartworms are eliminated by breaking down and then being filtered out of the blood stream. Because you are not killing adult heartworms, you don’t have a huge risk of them “clogging arteries” unless there are simply enough adult heartworms to pack the heart.

What you saw was an intestinal parasite. You need to consider what she was dewormed with 2 weeks ago. Possibly it didn’t target the kind of parasite she has currently or was dosed too low or simply wasn’t an effective dewormer (especially likely if it was a “natural dewormer”).

You need to consult a licensed veterinarian concerning an appropriate treatment for heartworms. These parasites can cause congestive heart failure and damage to the walls and valves of the heart just by being present so you need to use an actual effective treatment to get rid of them.
