At my birthday party this year, a rather extravagant raucous affair, my gallbladder was tweaked and after 3 weeks of pain, I did three liver successful Liver Flushes and was in a perfect position to jump into The Master Cleanse which people who live here have done. I also felt it was something I *could* stick with, and another reason was my favorite winter pants were tight due to some outrageous feasting courtesy of our new cook. I live at a retreat center...ggg. I will probably still have to buy some new pants but at least they wont be bigger AND I have more energy now and a peaceful sense of willpower and esteem. A man (woman) against self sort of thing...ggg.
