    "Cleanses" are nothing more than low calorie intake of food or some program you pay for that's low in calories. Eating any particular food doesn't "cleanse" the body at all (one may poop more with more fiber, but that's because they lacked fiber in the first place).
    Just eat nutritionally dense food. That's it.

    No. There is absolutely no need for a "cleanse" or a "detox". Your organs do a perfectly fine job of that on their own.

    Cleanses and Detoxes just separate desperate people from their money.

    Can you clarify what you mean by cleanse? It's a broad term
    I like a green juice in the before breakfast sometimes, or in place of a meal. I think it helps my digestive track to be cleansed (hydrated, gently nourished, and given a break from additional fiber and digestive load).
    So that would be an example of cleansing.

    There's no need to detox or cleanse your system and you also do not need to give your organs "a break".

    Because that is what your kidneys and liver do.

    I'm not saying this to dodge your question, but please read the above link. There really is no need to cleanse, your body is designed to do this for you.

    Because it's very very efficient at ridding itself of unwanted waste on it's own. When people feel down, low, "yucky", etc., it's usually because they are just LACKING nutrients. Add them and/or increase them and VOILA!

    What is the body cleansing? How do you know, comprehensively, what makes a person feel down and low?

    First of all you are making a strawman argument. Nowhere in my post did I claim anything about digestive efficiency or perfection.

    Next, are you aware of any evidence that:

    a) Digestive efficiency is compromised in most people.
    and
    b) This is problematic and needs to be fixed.
    and
    c) A detox or cleanse will exclusively restore digestive efficiency and fix this problem

    To m knowledge, this evidence does not exist.

    Yes unless one is taking medication or lacking in nutrients..................which has NOTHING to do with detoxing or cleansing.
    Journals of Medicine, physiology, biology, endocrinology, metabolism, etc. are GREAT sources to refer to when people want to read how to make the body more efficient.
    "Detox and cleanse" sellers make up their own brand of pseudoscience to sell product to those who aren't familiar with how the excretory system in the body works.

    A person says they feel the need to cleanse ( a broad, not-well-defined term), you say they don't need to cleanse, the body does this for you. Of what is the body cleansing itself?
