Ok, so basically you're tellling me that a good portion of what I eat is already doin the work to alkaline my body. So I personally, have lil need to Fast with Lemonade. Thanks.....I guess it couldn't hurt to add it to my diet for a while though, and do a limited Fast. Isn't Stevia Wonderful....Some people Don't like it, I think it's great. Sweet Tea Anyone? JK....To tell the Truth I like Unsweetened Tea. Once again, Thanks For The List.....Lovely.

On another Note....
Does anyone Know Where to get a Real Deal Yummie and Delicious Flower Tea? Loose Leaf With all the edible Flowers You can Stand.....I cannot Find it Anywhere....and it has been driving me Crazy. Luv Ya Big Hugs, Peace.

I feel I should Just try to make it myself....Uggg.

balance is the key grass hoppa! lol

have you heard about that body PH testing kit? Maybe interesting..?

[LIBRA]

This summer/fall I plan on selling herbal teas that I grew and dried myself complete with flowers :) I will post it on here when its harvest time!!

Ive always wanted to try the lemonade detox deal, but no food?? dunno if I can pull it off!

But I cant say ive ever heard of alkaline in your body and testing ph, what for and why? Sounds very interesting!!

[Dreamer]

You can add some lemmon in your water a few times a week and it will help.Make sure you drink enough water every day.Stay away from sugar,soda.I got a chart a few years back showing where all foods sit in the ph scale of things.
Most veg. and fruits are good. Positive thoughts are more alkaline for your body.For real. Water is very important .

There's a book out called alkalize or die that you could check out.

In terms of tea I love yerba mate,it can come with stevia in it too.

Bump, cause Im on day two of drinking 2 tsp of Braggs Apple Cider vinager in water three times a day. Ive read lots on it and its sooo good for you. Not to bad to drink either, I sip it till its gone. Look into it, its all around great stuff!!! A cure all!

[NCW_Woodnymph]

I've been meaning to try that. Winter always seems like a good time to detoxify your body. Start the new year from scratch and all that. :) How much water do you usually put it in? And have you seen any results in the last week?

[LIBRA]

I put 2 tsp in 8 oz of water, which is a juice sized glass.
I feel like I am peeing alot more then normal, and I am sleeping really well. My skin feels great too, not so oily. Dunno if its related to the ACV or not, but Im gonna keep taking it.

I love me some mate, I had a friend as an adolescent who was from argentina and had these beautiful silver cups with filtered straws to drink it with, she got me hooked. also, there is a lemonade cleanse, which is what brought about this post.....fresh squeezed lemon juice water and pure maple syrup.....kind of a fast and tea to alkalinize. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline enviro yadda yadda yadda....every one enjoying their winter???? :) brrrr. I just finally got my single mama heat on. Yay. This is harder than I never thought.....being a single mom. Not cooking for and spending all the time on this earth with but babes, but fighting to provide for them.....good work to any others out there facing this task, man i miss the timke to crochet in the winter time.....and quilt....my poor serger has not seen oil in almost a year or thread in six months or more.

I love you guys......crazy squirrel nut jobs that you are, you are lovely.....principles.

Poppy, single mom??? You ok?? Im a single mom, I think it works well for us. But it has its ups and downs. You need anything pm me :hb:

If you'd like a medieval recipe for a syrup you can add to water to get a more palatable drink, look here: http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/drinks.html . I'm sure you can find a more healthy sweetener than that listed.

For some years I kept a bottle of sekanjabin and a wooden stirring spoon beside the water barrel at reenactments, it makes water more palatable when you can't keep it cool in summer. Of course, I find heavily watered wine or small beer better still. ;)
