"toxins".  Apparently the liver in our body stops working when pseudo-science is introduced into the equation.  Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! Losing 2 pounds a day is dangerous regardless of the method used to fast. And the exact same thing could be accomplished by drinking water. I just love the pseudo-science on this one. Not only is it getting rid of "toxins" (pfeh!), but toxins stored in "old fatty tissue!".  Really, I wish someone would define "toxins" for me.  Last I checked, flus, asthma, hay fever, sinus and bronchial problems don't just lounge around in the body waiting for their number to get drawn. If this worked, every asthmatic in the world would follow this technique. And the only place "mucus" resides is in the sinuses, not throughout the body. Also, cold is a virus, and isn't even in the same category as allergies. And at the biological, chemical level, there is nothing "intensely cleansing" about lemon juice of cayenne pepper. By this argument, eating nothing but jalapenos would make me breathe fire.  Sorry. The digestive organs never rest. And what the hell is the fermentation activity in my internal organs?  Since when do our bodies produce wine?  You know, if I did nothing but eat doritos and masturbated every day, my internal organs would continue to rejuvinate every day. It's just what they do. Drinking lemon juice has absolutely jack and sh*t to do with this.This whole thing boils down to this:If it works for you, Eolin - great. Continue to do your thing, and don't let me (or science) try to convince you otherwise. I seriously recommend talking to your health professional regarding *any* diet regimen before starting one, lemonade fast, Atkins, or whatever. These things are simply too dangerous otherwise. But you simply can not convince me that this thing has any valid scientific benefit since there are absolutely zero scientific studies on the topic. It's unproven, and unfounded, and for you to defend it is simply an utter waste of time. You can believe it, and have opinions about it which is fine. But you just can't argue about this from a factual standpoint.</blockquote>
