    "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.

    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?

    It won't do anything miraculous, but if you like to cleanse for the mental aspect, you could try the O2 cleanse. Even doing one or two days may give you what you're looking for. It's supposed to be for four days, but that sounds miserable to me. I'm not really recommending that you do this, but if you are really wanting to try one, this uses regular food and you don't have to buy special teas or pills.

    Cleanse is an ambiguous term used by proponents of pseudoscience as is the word "toxin". Typically they are used hand-in-hand because people cannot name a specific toxin that accumulates to dangerous levels and is removed by said detox product. In the traditional sense, this is the means by which cleanse/detox products are promoted.

    I'm simply claiming that there is no need to use these pseudoscientific detox or cleansing products because your digestive system and organs remove unwanted waste products and in the event that they didn't, the solution to this wouldn't lie in a "detox" product, unless you're simply constipated in which case a laxative or other dietary interventions (fiber, a chipotle binge) may do the trick.

    The body removes waste that's uneeded. It's systematic at that, just like it attacks bacteria and viruses that invade it. Can you help it along? Sure, but one doesn't NEED to "detox or cleanse" to do it. Eating more nutritionally dense food and fiber is a great approach without having to spend extra money.
    Comprehensively, people who state they are down and low basically come out and just say it. I guess I'll just take their word for it.

    Did you take some to use a cloaking spell? Even though you are (were) the last person to post, Ninerbuff's post from five minutes ago shows up as the most recent post in the forum listings. :huh:
