So, in summary, there is no actual proof of any "toxins"? Got it.

Uh. I don't think that's it. It's that cleanses are not necessary as any toxins are removed by the body the way it is designed to perform. There is no need to fast or drink a green concoction. Just eat healthful foods and drink plenty of water.

There are exotoxins and mycotoxins that can develop in the bloodstream, there is also candida. A green juice fast helps with this stuff, and straight fasting.

Reminds me of when people say, "You don't need to detox your body, your body does it naturally." Think of a water filter it cleans out our water. So does that mean you're going to put motor oil in it because "it filters automatically?" It's a pretty idiotic statement.

Of course our organs are constantly functioning. If you over load it, it will take more time for it to do it's job. If you stop putting stress on it, it can finish the process completely.

My natruopathic doctor explained it to me this way. We live in a dirtier world than we think and our bodies can not tolerate the amount of junk we inhale, injest and intake. The best way to 'detoxify' our bodies is to pee, poop and slough skin. Which means we need to drink clean water and lots of it, eat healthy fiber in the packaging God provided and use a loofa.

^not crazy^

Toxins can seem allusive - a class in cellular biology can give you a decent grasp on how toxins enter the body and what they can do, but it doesn't do much to relate to our health. Too many toxins to cover.

But, I can give you one example of how/ why toxins are bad. I grew up on a tiny island off of West Seattle, WA called Vashon. Vashon was directly downwind from a copper smelter which spewed arsenic laced smog all over the Puget Sound area. I lived in one the most polluted sites for only a few years in my "pre-teen" era. Now in my late 20's, I was/ am experiencing fatigue and anxiety. Pretty normal stuff sure - but I actively work to live a reduced stress life, I eat healthy, exercise, etc. Conventional doctors didn't have any suggestions except to take drugs. I finally went to a natural path who tested my hair/ blood and found I had very high levels of the toxin Arsenic and cadmium. Arsenic prevents the update of many electrolytes, such as potassium - which can lead to elevated anxiety, along with other side effects. I have had to switch to primarily organic foods, try to find household products that are low in crud (ever thought about how much chemicals are in your mattress - that you spend 1/3 of your life on) and all kinds of fun stuff to avoid encountering toxins

It's hard work, but I slowly seem to be getting better. Plus it's an excuse to have my favorite treat - coconut milk (high potassium). So toxins my seem like a mythical creature, but they are out there and do cause harm.
