1859: Sharon C. Anthony Begins Cleansing

By Stan Bargemeyer, Coma News intern and historian
Ground-breaking pioneer Sharon C. Anthony arrived in Coma and launched a still-thriving movement in 1859.
The younger and far more alluring  sister of Susan B.  Anthony was not always so attractive.

Thanks to Sharon C. Anthony of Coma women were no longer bound to their corset but rather bound to a toilet or an outhouse but only for a finite amount of time.

Thanks to Sharon C. Anthony of Coma women were no longer bound to their corset but rather bound to a toilet or an outhouse – only for a finite amount of time.

It was after accidentally drinking a concoction of apple cider vinegar and salt water while lost near the ocean that Sharon discovered the first ever juice cleanse.
Shortly thereafter, Anthony settled in Coma 20 pounds lighter and no longer needing her corset. She started selling the bottled concoction to women and created her own, lesser-known women’s movement.
“I look upon these womyn bound up as they are in their corsets and am filled with a desire to help them move where their insides would lead them, my dear sister,” the younger Anthony wrote to her dowdy sister.
Her movement grew to a thriving industry. And the hand-full of shapely women still living in Coma today likely have Sharon to thank.
