Hi Kathy
You've had a flu for 6 weeks??? Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, that must be hell on earth!
The lemon is beneficial at any time of day or night - I advised starting the day with it because it's the best way to start the day and when people are making lifestyle changes it's often easier in small steps - but it's beneficial at any time of day or night - if you can work more than one glass a day into your routine, fantastic! One tip though - if you do end up incorporating a number of glasses per day, you may want to start giving your teeth a quick brush after each glass - some people believe that although it creates an alkaline effect in the body, the acidity of the lemon juice on entering your mouth can erode your tooth enamel and cause sensitivity - but there isn't any research yet on exactly how much lemon juice it would take to damage the enamel. The other alternative is to drink through a straw!
I do hope you recover fully soon.
Kind Regards
