The Lime Cure

The Lime Cure is an ancient rite of torture designed to separate the pure of heart and the alkaline of Ph from corrupt, acidic infidels.  It is also reputed to have all sorts of salutary effects, aiding in digestion, respiration, health of the skin and much more.

The cure is very simple to do . You drink the juice of one lime (or two) on an empty stomach in the morning and wait 20 minutes before eating. The next day, you increase the number of limes you squeeze and drink by one or two. You do this every day until you get to a predetermined number of limes -- say 10 or 20. Then you go back down, diminishing the number by one or two until you have once again reached zero limes . . . or lime liberation. In my version of the lime cure, you must squeeze all the limes yourself, as this is part of the cure. Should you decide to undertake this remedy, be certain to use a straw to drink the juice lest you rip the enamel off your teeth.

You will have trouble finding information about this cure in English. Everything I've read about it is in Portuguese.

It isn't easy being green. :)
