Currently doing a lymphatic detox.

You mean you are on a diet of cranberry juice?
Poor you!

The Lymfatix Detocs

But only because the Cranberries were already taken?

Take care...don't do this too often!!

Dandelion makes you pee and pee and pee and pee and pee and pee and pee. 

Whatever happened to just using good 'ol echinacea and goldenseal root?

These things are awesome!!  I wish I had one in my apartment!

Our earth is so polluted now.  Its nothing like growing up in the 1880s, or even the 1930s for that matter.





quote "sauna folk" 
Since 1965, over 4 million distinct chemical compounds have been reported in scientific literature. Over 6000 new chemicals were added to this list between 1965 and 1978. As of 1981, of over 70,000 chemicals in commercial production, 3,000 have been identified as intentionally added to our food supplies and over 700 in drinking water. During food processing and storage 10,000 other compounds can become an integral part of many commonly used foods. Added to this list of potential body toxins, petrochemicals, industrial waste, medical and street drugs, radiation (X-rays, nuclear fallout etc.) and tons of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, the result is an incredible chemical avalanche to have befallen the human race in a relatively short period of evolutionary history.

There is currently a wealth of scientific evidence showing that thousands of drugs, preservatives, pesticides, and other pollutants remain stored in the body long after exposure. We know for example that an organochlorinated pesticide such as the metabolites of DDT have a half life of between 20 and 50 years in the fat deposits of humans. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over 400 chemicals have been detected in human tissue; 48 were found in adipose tissue, 40 in breastmilk, 73 in the liver and over 250 in the blood.

what a load of bollocks

Saunas are generally full of bollocks, yes. I do my best to look away. 

I think I'll pass on jumping into ice water..... winter or summer.... 

It might enhance metabolism... but I'm guessing that's the only thing enhanced by jumping into ice water....

That is actually pretty bad. I know we have to grow enough food fast enough to feed everyone but man, that is sobering... seriously.
The gov't is happy just robbing us blind... they want to poison us too. I hope all is going well LP. Where in GA are you coming when you can?

For a second I thought you were talking about a Mari Gras experience

All I accomplished from LSD was sore sides from laughing, and a lot of paint in my hair. We were definitely in the Ken Kesey school of tripping. I knew people who kind of lost the plot from taking acid, and I always held that their mistake was in viewing it as some kind of mystical, spiritual experience. I just viewed it as a wacky chemical flitting through my brain causing all kinds of sensory havoc. Viewed like that, it's actually kinda fun. 

Although I don't think I would ever take it again. It can have some detrimental effects, including permanent eye damage. When I look at a pitch black sky, I see lots of visual interference in the form of tiny glowing dots. It kind of screws my enjoyment of the stars. A lot of people I know who took acid in their youth (as well as smoking lots of pot) report the same. It's just not worth it. 

I think the only scary trip I had was one Saturday afternoon when we thought it would be a great idea to drop acid and take a walk around Fenwick's, our local department store. Of course we got hopelessly lost and couldn't find the exit. And when at last we did find an exit, it took us out to some desolate loading bay around the back. Major comedown. Kids, don't do drugs, especially not in department stores. They're full of mannequins, perfume counter ladies and other terrifying things. 

Rule #1 for me always was:  Don't be around people who aren't on the same stuff you are.

Of course, being the total geek that I am, I always planned things out to make sure everyone stayed safe.  Note that this didn't apply when I was doing lighting for those underground clubs in Los Angeles - they were on their own!
