Cleansing?

Just wondering if any of you MFP ever cleanse?. I have started a 7 day cleanse today and feel like crappy and still have been unable to get my WO in. Guess it's a common side effect of cleansing as the body releases toxins. Which I have too much of. Heavy narcotic use for months due to extreme pain, anesthetic and 30lbs of fat filled with toxins. Would love to hear from others.

    After day 3 or 4 you will start to feel better. If you're really toxic it may take longer though.

    What kind of cleanse are you doing. Please be very very careful, my friend and I both did a 3 day cleanse last week and I was fine but she ended up in prompt care, scarded us both. If you feel weak or dizzy please eat, its not worth your health.

    If you replace the word "toxins" with "evil spirits" then you can see that's it's just 500 year old superstition dressed up in modern "sciency" terminology.

    No need to do cleanses. ......You have organs for that.

    It is nothing even close to the master cleanse. My problem is I have severe elimination problems so toxins build up inside of me.

    Unfortunately my elimination organ does not work like the average person.

    Here comes the debate on cleansing!!!! I'll tell you my experiences with cleanses. I've done two 30 day cleanses in the last two years. They have lowered my cholesterol & other numbers on my lipid panel. I've also lost weight & kept most of it off, although I fluctuate which is to be expected. Everybody has their own opinion about cleansing. My personal belief is that I think the body can indeed benefit from cleansing & I know everybody's not christian or "religious" but it is biblical. If you're careful & drink plenty of fluids you'll be fine.
