Please tell me where to find the proper cleaning solution to get a clean brain. I surely wouldn't want mine to be so dirty as to be useless.

The proper solution is to take two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, let them coallesce into a substance that is cool and clear, then drink it. Swish it around in your head.
That's about it, there's your proper cleaning solution, which is that which is what you and your brain are mostly made of. Then wait. Then later, when thirsty, drink some more.
Do stuff. Think about things. Things about lots of things. Live your life. Swish the thoughts around in the water.
Make sure to go to the deep and dark places of the brain too. The mind tends to hide the dirty things there. Those are the ones most likely in need of a quick scrub down anyway, IMHO. Many of them might be hidden. The water will find them...eventually.
When you get hungry, do not eat. Repeat: when hungry, do not eat. If you are modern person capable of owning, maintaining, and using a computer on the internet, this shouldn't pose an immediate threat to survival.
Keep doing this day after day. After a couple days, you can start to eat again, but eat only simple food. Maybe noodles and rice. Very basic foods, very...efficient forms of food/energy (i.e. plants). Animal food/energy will be better later if you wish to regain some of the mass you lose while washing, the beasts represent life more "condensed" than plants and are good for restoring strength of body.
Also, excercise. Get lots of exercise. I find walking to be sufficient, but that's just because my knees hurt when I run too much (old football trauma). Sports are also nice. Push the body forward.
Do that for a long enough time. Keep thinking of the deep dark places. Keep swishing arounds the thoughts. Think of the happy places too. You will probably need to as your body starts to feed, ever so slightly, upon itself. Don't worry, those pangs are completely normal and natural parts of life. Some people get them every day. Expect a bit of physical pain, as such is a near-universal part of a good brain washing technique. It is easier to endure the pain if you inflict it upon yourself and with good reason.
A proper brain washing requires good reason. It is the poor reasons you are wishing to wash away, one would think.
You should know when your brain is clean, generally. When you <i>really know</i>, you will know it is clean. If you have to think about it, you most likely need to keep the mental gurgle going.
Once you have decided the brain is clean, resume normal living. Notice how fresh and bright the world seems, relatively.
Also, try and stay on topic. And yes, I've been thinking about this answer for more than a day or two.
peace.
Also, very cool story from the Marine. I respect the fuck out of those dudes, it's their CinC I think is the fool. A fool who has made some VERY POOR judgements.
One of my friends has a similar story from a raid on a house in Ar Ramadi. It ends with the jihadi blowing himself to pieces, blowing my friend's arm a new hole, sending a fragmant into his temple that bounced off his skull, and worse. One his fellow Soldiers on the same raid can no longer tell stories, to anyone. Another Hero, born in death in a distant desert.

The Marines took the apartments quickly and moved to the rooftops and began engaging enemy that were trying to move into their fighting positions. The scene on the rooftop was surreal. Machine gun teams were running boxes of ammo up 8 flights of stairs in full body armor and carrying up machine guns while snipers engaged enemy shooters. The whole time the enemy was firing mortars and rockets at the apartments. Honest to God, I don't think I saw a single Marine even distracted by the enemy fire. Their squad leaders, and platoon commanders had them prepared and they were executing their assigned tasks.

Like I said, brainwashing can be very useful. It is not to be undertaken lightly.
sorry for typose and long slightly off-topic post.
