Dear RedWagon,

I am sorry to hear about your experience with lemon water. Drinking straight lemon water is not part of the protocol promoted by this forum.

Many of us on this forum have experienced tremendous health benefits when juice from high quality lemons is mixed with lime water, blackstrap molasses, a pinch of epsom salt, and some high quality kelp.

The weak acid of the lemon juice reacts against the minerals creating complexed carboyhydrates that our bodies can use to create electromagnetic energy to power different critical functions.

It makes sense that prolonged consumption of poor quality lemon water without a steady source of alkaline minerals to balance the acidity would create a suite of health problems, so your experience is validated by the principles of the forum.

If you are still experiencing health challenges and desire improvement of your health situation, I encourage you to take the time to read the the wealth of information in this forum, asking questions where things are unclear.

I think you will discover that the juice of high quality lemons used moderately in the context of the forum protocol has significant health benefits.

Welcome to the forum.

All the best,

Evan

My friend, I highly doubt that lemon juice was the cause of your cancer. Keep digging.

...did you drink that much "Lemon Water"..what was it exactly???

Too much of anything kills. Lemon water is very powerful, especially on it's own. For some, it is never recommended by itself and I would suspect that if combined with distilled water over an extended period of time that it may cause harm. However, if taken in proper proportions with the other needed minerals and carbons you will greatly benefit.

I still drink my moreless "alkalizing" drink, but need just a small amount just once a day. My health has never been better! It did take me some time to get my body back in balance, but it was worth my efforts to keep at it.

I hope you don't give up on the lemon!

Most unfortunate. Who the bleep advised you to drink that much acidic juice?

If it was to be attempted, it would have to be on tree ripened, high BRIX lemons. But even then I would not attempt it. That's way too much.

I can't conclude that lemon is a bad substance just because it was abused with bad results. It has its place, but its place is not one quart a day with no high alkaline drinks to balance it.

I have seen similar abuse of pineapple. It dissolved the teeth right off of the guy! He didn't have the sense to stop and was juicing unripened pineapples on a fast. Terrible.

Again, abuse of a food doesn't indicate what the food's worth is if it's used properly. In no way do I like citrus that is picked green and shipped north though. Forget it - I'll do without, thanks.
