You are welcome, I only use the filter for citrus fruits, before took out the seeds and husk.

Forgot to say that lemon is with the rusk
Lemon juice turn alkaline in the body, but is not much good for
everyday consume, something about depleting calcium...

Remind yourself it's a game, and yes there is no choice but to play, but you have the ability to bend, or break those rules. I try to see it as a game of chess, only there is no edge to this board, those boundaries are illusion. In seeing the game for what it is, much power may be gained.

Puff up the chest once in a while, and just say to yourself, "I am not going to be pissed on today!"

So I'm still working on the willpower bit.  But to address the original point of the thread, yes it is possible to feel like a kid again and healthy and well but it requires a huge ongoing commitment which the surrounding society will not support.    Anybody got ideas on how to find all that willpower?

(1) No solid foods (only fruit and veggie juices)

(2) No sex

(3) No media; no books, radio, TV, or internet.  I'm allowing myself journaling and music without lyrics; although I will have to use e-mail for work. 

(4) No negative emotion

Additionally, I'm getting a massage, an energy healing, and possibly a psychic reading, commiting to meditating an hour per day and to write down all my dreams during this time.

I'm mostly relying on the "Master Cleanse" (organic lemonade sweetened with maple syrup and slightly spiced with cayenne), but I'll do other juices, too, to keep nutrients in my body.  Potato juice, though the texture is gross, is fantastic for energy.  I also take a little flax oil or olive oil in some water to keep fats in my body.  ...The greatest challenge is keeping yourself regular.  You need lots of laxative teas, bulk fiber, and sometimes I've needed to drink saline water.  Keeping regular is the only thing that keeps you feeling good.

I've gone ten days before.  And I've done seven and five-day stints.  After two days, for me, it's remarkably easy to not eat.  After two days I'm not even hungry anymore.  But, then again, I am taking in nutrients--I don't think I would ever do a water-only fast.

I don't feel like shit right now, but I feel the need to cleanse.  I've had allergies through August and cleansing, for me, clears up any allergies in about 24 hours.

Even that would be a major improvement
for me. If I am into it then I'll look at buying a better unit.

I think if I began doing this daily, I might never go back to the 'savory' foods, which would be so much healthier.

could someone provide me with evidence feeling shit is really as bad as I think it is?

Uhh...yup. I even stopped doin' and takin' all the things I did and took for a month or two just to remind myself what feelin' like cacadoodle-doody felt like...yep, feels like shit! Feelin' like it can also mean bein' full of it. Not everything makes it out of the colon by the nature of its shape, so when the body feels like shit it might be literal. Years ago, I just detoxed by stopping everything, fasting, and using psyllium seed husk as "pipe cleaner". Then resuming eating and noticing how the body feels when it eats something, knowing everything about it--- how it got to the state it was before I ate it and how much "zing" my body felt from it. It really makes you conscious of how degraded the food quality can get. It gives you a fuller sense of things being produced solely to survive transport and shelf life, not for quality.  I think the easiest thing to do is cut out all processed sugar, alcohol, meat and smoking, just to see how one fares without them. Then doing a build-up with fruits and veggies with a vitamin regimen that is multiple the government standard recommended intake by two or three, for a short period.

I feel self-indulgent to admit that, even livin' in a rich country like the US, most accessible food is often filler for my vitamin intake. They do make the good stuff so expensive that I can't have it everyday even working full-time. A friend of mine goes the organic route, I just don't have the budget for it. But it sure is nice to chomp down on a veggie or fruit without tasting pesticide or wax coating and get the true flavor of what something like lettuce tastes like without pesticides, or a carrot or squash.  I'd have to say removing poisons is not enough either. I recommend Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible and intuitive trial-and-error as to what you're symptoms of deficiency are and what's missing in the diet. I know when I'm potassium deficient 'cause I feel like having sweets and drinking alcohol, low on B's I feel like havin' a smoke. It really sets up an interesting dynamic in identity when you feel "I want..." versus what's really being experienced is a physical deficiency that can't make it to the conscious mind with a literal, "Eat kale now!". I learned a lot about aminos (L-glutamine, arginine, phenylalanine) and omegas(3,6,9) from that book. Dosin' on flax oil healed an old sports injury of 20 years. I don't know if life improves considerably, but experience in and of the body does.

To me the biggest problem facing people today is probably the commoditization of Life.

O.k., I give up, what's a "central metallic filter" and what's it doin' on a blender? Guess I gotta upgrade.:D
