Hello all,
I fell while hiking this past weekend and have major road rash on my leg! =(
I started my second Master-Cleanse on Monday. Was that a good idea? I have the thought in my mind that since my systems are resting due to the cleanse, they can focus on healing my leg...What do you think? Also, I've been taking Arnica Montana and Hypernicum for the pain. They are homeopathic, but I still feel like I'm cheating...What to do...?
Another random Q: Do you think it's bad to microwave the lemonade? I'm always cold at work, so I like drinking it hot...
Thanks! =)

I think it's OK that you started the MC with a road rash. My cat scratched me once while I was fasting and that scratch healed faster than ever!! I think under the circumstances, the homeopathic stuff you are using is OK. Just be aware that they may not "act" the same as they do when you are taking food - they may be more or less potent. Just keep that in mind. Also, I just read that honey has antibiotic properties - so you might think about spreading that on your wound and covering it over.
Microwaves are very bad (in my opinion). It can change the molecular structure of the things you are heating...there are articles about this. Of course western medicine/science says that it is not a problem. But while you're trying to cleanse your system, why risk it?
When I make my lemonade for work, I mix the syrup and the lemon juice to make a concentrate. Then I'll take 2 ounces and mix it with 8 ounces of water when I want to drink it. If I'm cold I'll use hot water from the water cooler, if I'm not then I'll use room temperature water. Then I don't have to worry about the microwave.

This is a reply to # 1,146,195Thank you Tiffany! I don't know why I didn't think of making a concentrate and then just adding it to hot water, but I'm definitely going to do that tomorrow! Great idea! =)

Garlic does too! Crush it up and let it sit for 15 minutes - dilute with a little water (it stings) and apply.
Its an Antibiotic and antiviral.

This is a reply to # 1,146,132Tough call. For the record, I think its great to be on Master-Cleanse when injured. It seems to increase immunity and lessen overall pain sense. My guess is this is an innate function that is initiated by the need to be in top shape to hunt/gather when we are not stuffing our faces. The heightened senses of smell and vision also lead me to think this.
I would say for the hot lemonade, bring your cayenne, fresh lemon juice and maple to work separately, then microwave your water and mix it on the spot. I juice 2 days of lemons at once and refrigerate it, so I can make a fresh glass just by heating water.
I find that mixing the lemons, maple, and cayenne long before i drink it makes a much less pleasurable drink.
Good luck, hope you feel better!
