    I'm doing an awesome cleanse tommorrow ... It's called the bowel prep cleanse. I get to drink an entire 8.3 oz bottle of Miralax mixed with 32 oz of Gatorade and crap senselessly for the rest of the day. Of course, the next day they are removing part of my colon, but that's just a small detail.

    Dear Posters, this thread has had a cleanse and some posts have been removed or edited, in case you were wondering why some posts don't make sense in context. Thanks.

    Oh boy, I feel for you. I did one of those before, but not with miralax. It was a horrific experience. I had to clean the walls in the toilet afterward....

    The body’s own detox system We tend to forget that the body is equipped with a detoxification system of its own, which includes the following:

    The skin. The main function of the body’s largest organ is to provide a barrier against harmful substances, from bacteria and viruses to heavy metals and chemical toxins.

    The respiratory system. Fine hairs inside the nose trap dirt and other large particles that may be inhaled. Smaller particles that make it to the lungs are expelled from the airways in mucus.

    The immune system. This exquisitely orchestrated network of cells and molecules is designed to recognize foreign substances and eliminate them from the body.

    The intestines. Peyer’s patches —lymph nodes in the small intestine —screen out parasites and other foreign substances before nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the colon.

    The liver. Acting as the body’s principal filter, the liver produces a family of proteins called metallothioneins. Metallothioneins neutralize harmful metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury to prepare for their elimination from the body. Liver cells also produce groups of enzymes that regulate the metabolism of drugs and are an important part of the body’s defense against harmful chemicals and other toxins.

    The kidneys. The fact that urine tests are used to screen for drugs and toxins is a testament to the kidneys' remarkable efficiency in filtering out waste substances and moving them out of the body.

    There's no "Magic" Lemonade, cayun pepper and squid oil drink that will Detox your body, just eat CICO, exercise, keep hydrated and Voila, Health! :-P
