Even at 1.09 per organic lemon you would still be spending less money than you would eating regular so the economic reason in not a valid point.

So you think only the pesticides that the trees are sprayed with on the peel is the only factor in contaminating the fruit? What about ground pollution and all the chemical fertilizers and all the pesticides that get absorbed into the ground and gets absorbed by the root system. huh?

The whole point of the Master-Cleanse is to rid your body of toxins so using non organic fruit defeats the purpose of the MC. If one cannot find organic fruit well then there is no choice. You will still achive some level of cleansing but it is not by any stretch of the imagination "little or no difference in the quality of the fruit". I think it's irresponsible to advice that. Specially when one does not know if the person doing the asking is addressing some kind of health issue that is dependend on the body getting rid of toxins and get the best cleansing possible that is provided by using organic fruit.

Thanks all of you for your imput.

I did guess that organic is preferable, but I can not find organic limes anywhere near me at all. Maybe I will try Asda tommorrow, I havent looked there yet.

For some reason - when I drink too much freshly squeezed lemon it brakes me out in tiny itchy bumps all over my skin, but I dont really get that with limes.

I am doing the cleanse for my overall 'health and well being' and I am hoping it will get me over the emotional dependance I seem to have on food, like chocolate and ice cream. i also suffer from acne, and I know this cleanse would be a great way to help my body cleanse itself and get rid of it.

Hmmn.. still not sure what to do!! Carry on looking for organic, I guess!
