Detox Your Body
As a disclaimer, I am not a doctor or medical expert and in no way am I suggesting that anyone reading this should self-diagnose or start a detox program on their own without first consulting their doctor or medical practitioner.
The following is meant for information purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or recommend treatment to anyone. You should use caution when embarking upon any diet change, cleansing or detoxification program and you do so at your own risk.
With that said, the following is just my personal experience and recommendations of others who have dealt with the subject of detox and body cleansing. As a matter of fact, many thousands and perhaps millions of people before you have successfully rid themselves of harmful toxins and helped them improve their health through a proper detox.
The method of ridding the body of toxins and waste is known as a detox or detoxification. There are many different kinds of detox programs and some of them target specific organs such as the liver or the gall bladder.
A cleansing body detox is a great way to feel better and more rejuvenated. You can feel more energy, lose weight and cleanse the tissues and organs as well as give your digestive system a cleansing.
One of the most well known detoxing methods is the master cleanse otherwise known as the lemonade diet. It is basically a 10 day fasting during which you drink only fresh water with lemon juice, a small amount of pure maple syrup and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Many people have enjoyed the benefits of such a cleanse and you can too, provided you make sure you have checked with your physician or doctor to see if you have any precautions in doing so.
The health benefits are tremendous as you can rid the body of accumulated waste from the tissues and organs as well as the blood stream. We are bombarding our bodies with sugar, fats, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and other harmful chemicals and products. Even if we do not drink alcohol or smoke, we are eating foods which might be de-natured or filled with fats and sugars and need to go on a fasting diet or a cleansing diet to get rid of some of these destructive elements.
Then there is the traditional juice fasting which has been done by many thousands of people to help cleanse and rejuvenate the body. Fresh vegetables and fruits are juiced in a juicer which separates the juice from the pulp and cellulose. A typical juice might be made from greens such as kale, spinach and parsley and a hand full of sprouts along with maybe a lemon and some ginger for punch. The lemon makes the juice even healthier and the ginger is anti viral and has healing properties as well.
But aside from maybe adding an apple or pear to a vegetable juice, keep the fruits and vegetables separate when making juices. Avoid the citrus juices and fruits.
A water fast is just fasting with only water being drunk. This allows for a real rest of the digestive system allowing for more toxins to be eliminated.
If you can, make sure to take a sauna, as a good sweat will help cleanse the skin and pores as well as get those toxins out of the body.
Some homeopathic and naturopathic physicians recommend detox kits with drops that you can take that help cleanse and eliminate toxins. Even women can notice that their cellulite starts to disappear when they clean out the toxic materials from their body systems.

No you can go to a place like GMC and get the stuff to do it.
The process itself isn’t a myth. The benefits may be considered, though. As long as you eat a balanced diet and lots of fruits and veggies, you wouldn’t have to invest in any special remedies. I saw a commercial on TV one Sunday that you can lose weight because your feces is trapped up in you somehow and their remedy can fix it. I think claims like that are false. Drink some cranberry or pomergranate juice. Good luck.
yes
Yes.
All the "detox" stuff is junk science, as well.
It’s the holistic community scam. They quit calling vitamins, vitamins and now call them formularies, like the drug industry. All they can sell is "food." The only thing they are allowed to sell by law. If they claim otherwise, the FDA will have the CEO in prison and the company shut down. It’s a criminal offence to claim food is a drug.
The new generation is now more educated and they know they are not starving, or living in the backwoods where all they eat is bamboo shoots and cockroaches, and they know that supplements, don’t supplement a darn thing. So the naturopathic community had to come up with something new.
They jumped on the environmentalist bandwagon and came up with the idea since we have an overabundance of nutrition, then people would believe we are "poisoning" ourselves so we need to "detoxify" ourselves. Since people know that kidney dialysis remove the poisons that a failing kidney can’t remove, they think the general public will buy that food will do the same thing. So they put food in pills and people think they are cleaning their organs out, just like a $20,000 dialysis machine.
It’s just a different time and place… in the old days it was Snake Oil salesmen that were selling all sorts of concoctions that generally contained nothing more than alcohol and a big scam of hype. Back then it was elixirs because that is how physicians delivered drugs, in liquid. Today it is pills because that is how pharmaceuticals deliver their medicines.
For those that won’t buy the detox claims, they claim that our food is so bad we are losing trace elements and they must be replaced with other foods packaged into pills.
Waste your money on a lottery ticket and you will have a better chance of changing your life.
im pretty sure it isn’t
oh o its real and painful my dad had it done
i hope we r talking a bout the same thing its like wen they clean your insides or somethin rite ya its real go to some doctor site and ull find out
Yes! Another rip off. Live a healthy life style and your body will do a good job of "cleansing" itself. Of course, if you’re constipated, might ought to do something about that.
no way, absolutely not!
i’ve done it, and it truly does make you feel better.
They have them at your local HEALTH stores….about 28 bucks….Makes you feel great, and there is def. truth to a lot of junk being built up inside you. Try and see. Totally safe!
no, in fact it is very under looked and under used. There should be once a month that people should fast for a few days with nothing but water and some vegatables to cleanse out their toxins etc as well.
You will feel like a million bucks afterwords!
You should use a flush kit at least one a year. Waste builds up in your system and poisons you. When John Wayne had an autopsy, it was found that he had 42 pounds of meat in his colon. God rest his soul. You can get a good general purpose one at gnc for about $20.
No, it’s not a myth. It’s very good for your body. Over time chemicals, toxins and fats build up in your digestive tract, liver, kidneys, etc. It’s good to clean them out once in a while.
If you eat a lot of fiber you don’t need to cleanse as often. Fiber and water help flush the body and keep you regular, preventing excessive buildup.
Your local GNC or health food store can help answer more of your questions.
Additionally, eat a lot of garlic and apple cider vinegar. I eat 1 clove of garlic per day (like a pill) and 2 tablespoons of ACV.
The colon and liver are involved in normal excretory functions of the body. One doesn’t need to take any "cleansers" to "clean" your body. Your body deals with wastes naturally if you have normal organ function.
no,read the natural curs book. To say food can’t cure a thing is ridiculous though. Think about scurvy
