    I don't like this topic, simply because very few people know any real facts on it. Including myself. But, I do know that gastroenterologists generally don't agree with it. for example, see the following article by a gastroenterologist on the mayoclinic.com

    Make your decisions wisely. I especially like the last paragraph. Remember, these guys spend their life studying how the body processes food, how the liver, kidneys, colon, and intestines work, they know FAR more about it then a family practice doctor, or any alternative medicine guru.

    Anyone that I know that has done a cleanse has just gained the weight back that they lost during the cleanse. Also if you're not willing to eat 100% clean, whole and natural afterwards there really is no point because you're body is just going to go back to how it was before ...

    I totally agree. It seems most of these posts are based on emotion. People can become so insulted so quickly! Unfortunately writing lacks the depth of speaking in person, so I think it is easy to misinteruprt the spirit with which some comments are being made.

    As for the cleanse itself, I am no expert but I am very wary of them and there is no way I could go without food for more than a day. I use to have problems with the 30hr fasts we did in highschool to raise money for hungry children in poor countries.

    That being said, my manager at work is doing a cleanse for lent. She doesn't take any supplements. She just eliminates a lot of things from her diet including meat, caffiene, salt, wheat, most dairy (she still eats yogurt, alcohol and basicaly anything processed. So basically she just eats clean unprocessed food. She said it was really hard the first time she did it -- probably because of her addiction to diet coke, but that she found it really rewarding. I think if I was going to do a cleanse I would do something similar to this.

    To each his or her own ...:smile:
