It sure is interesting how people react diferently to food. The lime didn't bother me at all but for you it made you sick and hardly able to drink it. I think the lime was an important part of the mix (reread the messages for the explination) I don't remember exactly put something about the acidity in the lime compared to other fruits (lemons, oranges) I'm not sure. Anyway, be brave about the enema, truely is a good thing. I was nervous too for the first few times. But now its a piece of cake and I look forward to laying back for awhile and relaxing while the coffee does its job of emptying out the bile ducts. This is important, because the enzymes in the coffee empty the ducts so that the liver has room to put fresh bile into the bile ducts, thus cleansing the liver. It explains it better somewhere else where it talks about coffee enemas. There are other kinds of enemas, but this one actually cleans out the liver (because of the bile ducts). Hope this helps to encourage you.
