    the best cleanse i have ever used, and the safest one is a veggie fast for 10-14 days. make sure it has the greens in it.

    i have tried masters, lemon, etc. and a veggie fast is doable. plus it does not shock your system but it still gets the desired result.

    I have used a cleanse in the past from a company called Natures Sunshine. You do have to join for $40,but they give you $40 in products. Just a word of warning about eating veggies only or doing something drastic. I tried this cleanse "diet" my chiropractor suggested,eating only fruits and veggies for a week. I have trouble with anxiety/depression. This sever calorie restriction caused my to plummet into anxious state. Some people cannot handle this. So I guess you have to know your body type

    My husband just uses the "chinese green tea". He takes it for about 2 days in a row. Make sure you have no where to be for the 2 days though! It'll totally clean you out, but he says he feels so much better afterward. Good luck!

    Nener - while i feel for your plight while on a fruit & veggie only diet for a week... i want to make sure that folks know that you can live a very healthy life eating only raw foods... mostly fruits & veggies... this is what some vegans do... yes - they include nuts - perhaps those had a nutrient you needed... but a fruit & veggie only lifestyle can be very healthy...
    i am a vegan but do eat cooked foods which includes breads, etc... i did raw food only for a week and felt FANTASTIC! i DID have a spoonful of peanut butter a day because I felt that i needed that boost of protein to make it through my job (I am a preschool teacher!) and i am allergic to tree nuts so a handful of raw almonds wasn't going to happen... Also, for my salad dressing, i had olive oil mixed with lemon juice --- this added calories to keep me closer to the 1200 per day...

    ;o)

    Look up theMastercleanse all it is is Lemon juice, maple syrup and water, you won't be hungry or tired it doesn't taste bad at all (you have to experiment a little) But you will miss the taste of food I lost a lot of weight really quick and I still go to it every once and again.
