My wife is definitely main stream medicine oriented. Before I did the first cleanse she was trying to get me to go to a doctor for presciption antacid medication. I told her that at 32 years old there was no way I was going to start on something I would have to take for the rest of my life. Especially not without trying natural alternatives first. It is cool that you and your husband are open to trying something new. Most of the people that I have told about the Master-Cleanse have thought it sounded interesting and were psyched that it fixed my stomach. My wife is the only person who has been overtly hostile to the idea. She doesn't even seem to be happy that it allowwed me to eat and drink what I want again.
