Hello, I've been scanning the master cleanse thread, which has been quite informative.
I've been contemplating a cleanse for a while now. I tried a raw foods diet but only lasted 4 days. I think trying to do it over the course of my normal daily routine was too difficult. Friends would invite me over for BBQs, beers, roommate would cook something awesome, etc. I gave up.
But I'm taking the month of June off and will be staying at a cottage while I blitz through a number of the tomes of Austrian Economics (I ordered 21 books from mises.org). I figure I might as well attack any health problems that may be lurking under the surface at the same time.
I am not overweight by any stretch of the imagination. If anything, I should gain weight. But I have a very fast metabolism and am not quite at the age yet (27,m) where it starts to build up around the midsection. Additionally, I eat very well. I can't even eat sugar anymore. Processed food makes me gag. But I do like to drink beer and wine (although seldom excessively anymore). I also enjoy smoking anything (but am not addicted to any of it either). I'm probably in better health than 90% of people I know.
What I do have are some lingering motivational problems, an inability to concentrate fully, daydreaming, etc. I want that gone. I feel like it takes me twice as long to read or write something than it should. I work in an industry that requires me to read an ungodly amount of material daily. I am then required to remember that and reference it in my own writing. I want to be able to condense these activities into 4 or 5 hours a day while maintaining or improving comprehension. And I'm pretty sure that if I get rid of much of the toxins in my body, I will have a better chance of achieving that.
What cleanses would be best considered "mental cleanses" and where can I find information on that? I understand that cleansing other organs (colon probably) may achieve this better. Additionally, what vitamins or minerals would be of assistance in improving concentration and memory?
Thanks in advance!
