    I HATE the MC! I found it to be very stripping on the body. A juice fast is a much healthier way to go. There are just so much better ways to detox. Transitioning to all-raw food for about a week, then going into just juice for about 3-10 days followed by a slow transition back out is the way to go IMHO.

    That sounds like a frightening diet. It's good to hear that you are not doing it!

    Sounds legit. I hear if you don't regularly flush these "toxins" away you have about 98% chance of ending up like this:

    I would cleanse, but I have a healthy liver and kidneys, so I just let them take care of the junk my body doesn't need or has already used.

    Oh, yeah. That's so much better ...

    Cleanses like this have no proven benefits and are not recommended by medical professionals. I know a woman who has done the MC multiple times over the past several years. I remember her before she started 'cleansing,' and although she was maybe a little bit chubby, she was still a pretty, healthy woman with a normal weight. Every time she did the MC she put on more weight and is now morbidly obese. She looks old for her age, and has a multitude of health issues, including needing to have her pancreas REMOVED as a result of the damage she's done to her body. Despite having a very healthy diet now, she can no longer lose or keep weight off. I don't understand why anyone would do something like that to their body... not to mention it sounds terrible!
