Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of rock band Pearl Jam, has adopted a strict diet and detox regime after wrapping up his latest tour.

Vedder is giving up cigarettes and drinking a lot of salt water to flush the toxins out of his body that he might have consumed while touring.

"It's been a long couple of years ... being on the road a lot. I'm ready to clean up my act. I just finished touring, and I'm on a detox thing. It's a heavy detox, so nothing in my belly except water, salt and cayenne pepper. It also means I'm not smoking."

But he added that the detox was having a strange effect on him.

"This is four days in. But it does feel weird. I'm feeling different. I'm walking around in a daze," Vedder said.

This is lifted from the Josh Brolin conversation, right?

Really hope he manages to keep off those cigarettes.

"water, salt and cayenne pepper."

Humm...this cayenne pepper must be really nutritious

Such a silly concept. You cannot just cleanse your system out like it is a dirty dish. Eat healthy, exercise, remove the bad habits, and he would probably be doing his body and mind a much better service. I doubt all the salt water in the world and peppers in the universe is going to do shit for your brain or respiratory system. Maybe he will have a clean stomach though if he does not burn a hole through it.

Its actually really good short term. It does cleanse the system, but if you go back to your regular habits then yes ....i ts terrible for you. however, if you do it for short term, and start from a "clean slate" so to speak, it can be really...helpful...i wont say healthy cause..doing such aggressive things to your body is never any good...but for a short term "kick in the ass" to cleanse your system...it does work...

But yea, if you go abck to your old habits...youll gain the weight and hurt yourself ten fold...

i call bullshit.
he's eating double whoppers and smoking pall malls all day.

this is a solid post.

well that happens when you consume 3 calories per day as seems to be the case here.

What worries me that I know Ed is the type that tries all "trendy" shit, but doing what would really help like stop smoking at once for all he wont.

Does this mean he has to eat eggs?

Can't afford 'em.

can be cool a song with a name like "im sweating nicotine" or "eggs make me pure"

we need to buy more zippo lighters

Well yeah but that sounds more like Jeff. I'm guessing something along the lines of
money in the bank
feels like eggs in my fridge

On the other hand "eggs" is to old at this point. I'm thinking "intestinal flow" could be a cue.

I do an anual detox cleanse/fast.
2 days raw food
1 day fresh juice and water
1 day water
1 day fresh juice and water
2 days raw food

yes, you can cleanse your body with a "strict diet to detox" in just a few days.
