Drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice while cleansing provides and incredible nutrient boost for your colon. Due to the amazing digestive properties of lemon.
Lemons are one of the only “anionic” foods, meaning the possess a greater number of negative ions than positive ones. Most of the fluids produced by the digestive system (such as bile, stomach acid, and saliva) are also anionic, so lemon juice is quite compatible with your digestive system.
To receive the natural healing properties present in lemons, it’s important to use whole, fresh, organic lemons. Lemons form a grocery store are usually not as “pure” as you might believe due to over-processing, early picking, pesticide spraying, or being grown in nutrient depleted soil.
Using fresh squeezed, organic lemon juice helps you eliminate more toxins on a daily basis. The more toxins you can flush out of your system, the more your colon will be receptive to your cleansing efforts.

Hi Nancy,
Under your direction, I have been drinking a large 16 oz. mug of hot water with 1/2 a fresh squeezed lemon every morning for 1/2 a year now. It is the first thing to go into me as I start the day. I consider it my inter bath, even before my external one!
I had a history of a very irregular system. This is one of many changes I've slowly been incorporating into my lifestyle, in an effort to live the best I can.
thank you for your continued wisdom that you share so freely
