i have a modest addiction to supplementation. part fascination, part necessity. being vegan, one needs to be mindful of getting one's b-vitamins, especially b-12 which can be difficult to get in enough quantity from veg alone. said vegan usually supplements with a plant-derived b-12 a time or two a week. this said vegan supplements with the following cavalcade:
and usually every spring, i prepare a renewal period of cleansing supplementation. amping up on the psyllium and filtered water intake. sometimes drinking liters of cranberry juice from concentrate, no lame-ass high fructose corn syrup ocean spray 10% juice, just concentrate and h2o. also, usually in the mix, i beef up on milk thistle for the ol' liver, and another herbal blend formulated for cleansing the system.
this year, i purchased a tonifying liver and kidney cleanser, and i was quite alarmed when i was reading the propaganda within the box that clued me in on the fact that i have apparently not been drinking enough water...
starts to make me wonder whether i have been suckered into a snake oil scheme, or the herbalists were so busy creating such a fine elixir that their proofreading skills were hampered. i have always considered supplementation much like an insurance policy anyway, you're peeing most of your money away.

HA! I TOTALLY KNEW THAT LIKE A WEEK AGO!
afterall, i was listening to talkchat and they were talking about cleaning out your system for drug tests and someone brought up that you should already be drinking 1/2 your body weight oz of h2o
Is that a bottle of Rescue Remedy atop your massive cornucopia of supplementation? Oh, and when Annie did my fitness evaluation, she determined that I was made of mostly water (more so than the average human, apparently).
dammnnnn... are you sure that the 1/2 your body weight recommendation isn't just for when you'd like to pass your company drug test? 1 gallon of H20 = 8.33 lb => my 170 lb frame requires over 20 gallons of water... each and every day?
i believe that the poor editing on the sheet should have stated that you should drink 1/2 your weight per day in ounces (i.e. 170lb male, 1/2 weight= 85lbs, therefore 85oz. h2o per day should be consumed.
ahhh... 20 gallons of coffee i could understand... but water??
