    I just love cold lemon water period. I drink it every time I go out to eat, and better yet... it's FREE! :)

    "Poor man's lemonade" (2 cups cold water, 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 Splenda or Equal) is a fabulous diuretic and alround cleanser.
    If you do a version with warm water, a good friend tells me that it also opens up the chakras.
    So, I'd say the answer is yes!

    Thanks! I have been so good for 7 months I don't think I'll ever eat chocolate cake again! Ever here of Pavlov's Dog?

    If your are trying to flush toxins I wouldn't use splenda or equal - either nothing or just a spoonful of REAL unprocessed sugar like IN THE RAW. Just 16 calories in a teaspoon.

    I always eat a big salad the day after bad eating and that seems to help move things along. Yogurt too - live cultures and probiotics can work wonders on a bad tummy.
