dual update and parting paths

it's been a long but good 2 weeks. at this point, if pq and i were following karyn's official protocol, we would begin a 3-7 day juice fast. after my disastrous experience last year, i decided at the beginning of this detox that instead of juice, i would substitute in the master cleanse instead.* however, as it turns out, my fractured bone has led me to think that i should skip the mc and choose nutrition over starvation for the sake of healing my wound. i believe in a clean colon for sure, but i also believe that the body probably needs nourishment beyond grade b maple syrup to repair itself. so, at this point i will continue to eat raw food while pq picks up the slack and continues on to the next level of deprivation: the master cleanse. don't worry - you'll still be hearing more about this than you care to.

a word from pq:
I took the senna tea last night and not one thing happened. I must have insides made of steel or something. I had one glass of the magic drink this morning and found it to be grotesquely sweet. I'm going to cut the maple syrup in half at least for the time being. I'll keep you posted on all of this madness.

*for those of you who are not familiar with the master cleanse, it is an all liquid fast consisting solely of the following 3 components:
1 - a lemonade made of water, lemon juice, maple syrup (grade b) and cayenne pepper
2 - saltwater
3 - senna tea
