    Scam. Be one of the smart people and ignore the subject entirely.

    The Master Cleanse is a scam or detoxes and cleanses are a scam in general? If so, please explain.

    If you have a healthy diet and exercise your body will naturally cleanse. That is what your organs are for ;)

    I use Super Dieter's Tea a couple times a week. It comes in several flavors, such as lemon, cinnamon, tropical. It's not harsh and it can work within three hours. You can buy it at Vitamin Shoppe or just about any health food store.

    Which toxins, specifically, are removed?
    Can't give you specifics on toxins without looking it up. We take in toxins when we pass somebody that is smoking, there are toxins in our water, some toxins on our fruit, toxins are everywhere. Toxins are stored in our fat cells. While we are losing fat the toxins are released in our urine and fecal matter. Using a cleanse helps your colon digest healthy nutrients easier, clears up acne, and helps prevent colon cancer.
    After having children, women have a harder time of having bowel movements. The baby has pushed our organs around. That is why for many of us we have one bowel movement a day while our husbands have a bowel movement soon after each meal. A movement after each meal is normal. Once a day or once a week is not.

    I would not take a detox or cleanse pill. First of all you want to get over a plateau, getting a quick "bump" is basically cheating yourself. Bad habits is why most of us are here. I have seen co-workers do diet cleanses which is basically just eating right. They have lost a couple pounds on them. Change your lifestyle, pills dont solve everything.



    This is what I would have said too. I looked into it a while ago too and decided not to waste money on a quick fix. What I really need is to change my eating habits and eat healthy foods.

    A while back, Dr Oz had a series of 4-5 shows on healthy eating. One of the episodes did an experiment with 2 groups of women after a night out on the town. One group did a cleansing diet, and one group ate a healthy diet, for a day or 2 . Blood, urine, and saliva tests showed no difference in either group. The results was cleansing has no different affect on the body that healthy eating does.

    Don't waste your good money on cleansing diets. You have a liver and kidneys that do a perfect job at no extra cost to you. If "cleansing" is not done properly you can easily do some serious damage to your body by screwing up your electrolyte balance, which can have serious side effects.
