Mother's Day is coming, look busy!

  My mom is going through some general health problems from aging this year so I am organizing a list of the things that I have been sending her so that others concerned with their mothers' well being might want to peruse through and consider instead of sending flowers or candy.  One of the only things I have truly admired about some of the hippy types I run into in Arcata, CA is their dedication to health through ritual cleansing programs, healthy eating, and moderation.  When it comes to ritual cleansing some fast, some detox, and some go for what some say is the ultimate carthartic procedure the High Colonic.

  Moms as they move up in the corporate world have less and less time to be healthy and are exposed to more and more toxins (esp if they live in the city).  We want her to be around to spoil her grandchildren forever, right?  These programs are also useable by us geeks with our sundry list of abuses we put our body through as well.  
    Let's face it most books we buy for people are left unopened or only flipped through casually by loved ones who would rather feign interest than admit not liking something. If you can get them to read through the first few pages of this book however they will be hooked. Besides the lack of specific research documentation to back up some of the author's claims I was enthralled by the text. I consider it “tome” material even though it only stands in at 200 and some odd pages as it will guide you through almost all the different processes known today to detoxify the body with ease and elan. The author has a well paced understanding of all the subjects he touches on and will not confuse either technical readers with dumbed down regurgitations or intimidate lay readers with needlessly profuse wording. This is the one my mom sent to her sister and the first one I bought for her.
  I first encountered this tea in a small co-op out of my area and could not find it when I came back to where I lived at the time, San Fransisco. However, I know for a fact now that it is easily available on most of the west coast and there are similar products on the east coast in the Yogi Line of teas. This tea does not work immediately and is best taken like a medicine for a week or two at a time till your mucus runs clear in your nasal passages and lungs. Even if you are taking a multivitamin your pee will also run clear.   It is a pretty decent price online but is only worth it if you are going to buy other things with it as well as the shipping will kill the deal.
  This is a more extreme program as it involved fasting and requires willpower but it offered the most dramatic results, even beyond a high colonic. There are a few options within the book to steer you along to a non-solid foods regimen for up to 10 days. Believe you me this will clean things out of you that you were unaware could persist in a person for so long, hard things like popcorn kernels, gall stones, and kidney stones will pass. Once the stools stop being hard and dark and you excrete only mucus than stop the program. Anything beyond that can damage the flora in your intestines. Not for the weak of mind or heart.
