Mae West's Detoxification Beauty Magic (Citrus Juice Drink)

For two or three days:
Take two lemons, four grapefruit and six oranges, squeeze the juices. Measure the squeezed juices and combine with equal amounts of bottled (or purified) water. Drink every 20 or 30 minutes during the day. Refrain from eating all other foods.

Variations: Drink one large glass of carrot juice prepared from organically grown carrots without other foods. Or spike with a jigger of other homogenized juices (prepared in a blender), such as celery, watercress, parsley or cucumber. Or drink fresh celery tonic.
