    If you want to get real hardcore: 10oz of olive oil down the hatch followed by 2-3oz of lemon juice.

    That will mess you up.

    I actually gag if I think back to drinking that stuff...

    .... seriously .. your body is pretty good at cleaning itself out. if you give it nothing but nutritious goodness for a while your gonna be alright. spiritual and discipline exercises aside, i see no need for starving yourself or intentionally inducing diarrhea.

    I looked into the studies for detoxing and cleansing and I looked at the medical evidence PRO and Con.
    Please, I have found NO medical evidence to support that whole cleansing crap.
    Meat staying in your intestines for years and all that bunk.
    I passed on the info, choice is theirs.

    Personally, I wanna give myself a good cleansing I up the fiber, add prune juice and its a wet n wild ride baby !!

    SJR,


    there is no medical evidence to support these various cleanses and detoxes, however there is some support for the idea of short fasts being good for long term health.

    I'm generally suspicious of any CAM technique that purports to remove 'toxins' without saying what those toxins are.

    Agreed in regards to the benefits of short fastings.

    It is an important part of health in today's society with all the processed foods and chemical additives. You can use the principles and concepts of detoxifciation and add to your own life. Instead of always buying orange juice, buy some lemons and limes and you will get more of the vitamin C, etc without the sugar or the other sucroses so prevelant in many juices.
