    Try some cranberry juice or water with some fresh lemon. Our liver is more than capable of cleansing the body so long as you treat it right. Try more water, especially with lemon. It's very refreshing :smile:

    If you have an issue, you can try a colonic.... I've went before and they are very beneficial.

    Is there truly a legitimate cleanse out there? I have been bingeing a lot lately and I really want to try to remove all of the crap from my system (no pun intended) if this is truly possible. I don't know that I actually buy into commercial products? I've done a lot of damage to my body, and I really need to jump start the cleansing if I can. Thanks.

    Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, water.

    ^^^^this

    Just eat well, get lots of fibre and your body will look after the rest.

    The snake oil sales people that sell these so-called "cleanse" and "detox" products would have you believe that your body accumulates all these toxins that it can't handle. While this may be true of some very specific situations (poisoning, heavy metal contamination) these require medical attention not some OTC product.

    If you have an issue, you can try a colonic.... I've went before and they are very beneficial.

    How so? Specifically, what did it do that a healthy diet couldn't?

    Dial soap works pretty well. Cleanses my smelly places pretty nicely, and leaves a fresh scent. I also like Dove body wash with Nutrium moisture, or whatever it's called. Good stuff.

    Oh, you mean you want to like cleanse your intestines or something? Unless you have a blockage, there's no need for that. And if you do have a blockage, you need to see a doctor.

    There is. And it's free. Switch to healthy food, and drink a bunch of water. And by that, I mean a normal amount of water (8-ish 8-ounce glasses a day). In about a week, all the bad stuff will be out of your system as much as it ever will be. If you eat some high-fiber foods, it might speed up the process a bit, but no sense going overboard - just eat a healthy diet from now on.

    You don't need to cleanse your body out; your liver and kidneys do a good job of it itself. You can't cleanse your body of junk you ate a few days ago.

    Eating well from this day on is the best "cleanse" you can do for your body for life.

    You guys answered my question then! Very much appreciated. I found some suggestions to start applying immediately. I hope I didn't mislead anyone into thinking I was wanting a cleanse for weight loss, because I do not. Kinda wanted to open up my insides and throw some soap and a scrub brush in there ;-)

    Love me some lemon. Finally bought a juicer and started using fresh lemon juice in water :-)

    Then eat more a wholesome, balanced diet. A 'cleanse' isn't going to do what you want, it's just going to make you lose water weight. If you want that you might as well try intermittent fasting, since it accounts for the nutrients you aren't taking in.
