Lemon Detox, master Cleanse without the fasting. I was in a house in Greece for a few weeks last year. I started feeling a bit ill from the toxins from a nearby plastic factory. There was a lemon tree in the yard, after 2 weeks of toxins, I started drinking the lemons all day and recovered my well being in a few days.
Limes have some different properties, but can be used in the same way.

Lemons have the ability to neutralize the acid/ alkaline balance in the digestive system.
If you have an acid stomach lemon will return it to neutral. Same if you are having a

Agreed!
Just the other day, I got bit by a bug that made the bite swell up like I was alergic or something, and the itching was terrible. For some reason, like a memory, I got up and went into the kitchen, grabbed a paper towel and some lemon juice and saturated the paper towel with the lemon juice, and layed it on the bite for about an hour. Afterwards, I took it off my leg and it was like there was no bite at all. The swelling went down and it didn't itch anymore. I actually forgot all about it. So, yeah, lemon juice works great! Thanks for this post.
