It does aid in detoxing and cleansing the body. However you suffer from twitches and such then don't drink it because it will make those symptoms worse :-(

I just started lemon water this week cause of yeast infection and being on high dose amoxy. I have seen a reduction in switches, tingling while on amoxy but noticed slight increase this week so I will keep an eye out for more as drink lemon water. Why would lemon water increase our switches, tingling?

Bacteria and viruses love an acidic body, and can actually keep a body slightly acidic. Although lemon is acidic, it actually helps turn the body back to slightly alkaline....somehow. This is how it helps us heal.

I'm not sure of the exact reason why lemons, pickles, and other pickled foods can increase muscle twitches, spasms or cramps, but my doc warned me and I experienced it myself as well. She said it doesn't happen with everyone, but some will have increased muscle issues.
