    my personal favorite cleansing method is to fast for 72 hours and then drink 96 gallons of water in one day, on day four, I then follow this up with three days of drinking raspberry ketone smoothies...by day eight I am urinating every 60 seconds and am so food deprived that I start to hallucinate..oh, and the raspberry ketones make my pee red...or was I just seeing sh%t

    I do this one from time to time. I find that getting a catheter some time before day 4 helps.

  • I wonder if people who do cleanses use these too. http://www.verseo.com/detox.html?gclid=CLTbiLX3kLYCFQnznAod3l8A0Q I mean, they have to be as good, if not better then a liquid cleanse, right?

    I have very strong feelings! Not about cleanses but just in general. Will a cleanse help? Does it do anything for mood or personality disorders?

    Every 6-12 months I cleanse my hard drive. I always feel better after that.

    You must be bored lately.

    You know as well as I do that these cleanses are 100% nonsense.

    ^^This. Obviously a baiting thread. I get that it may get annoying at times to read all the "will this cleanse work" threads, but I honestly think alot of people new to fitness don't know any better. The pompus attitude by some on can be seen as very rude in my opinion (doesnt bother me so much, but I can see where newbies would shy away)


    Did you have all the knowledge you have today 160 pounds ago OP?

    Think what you will. I would love to have them explained to me. If they work, show me how. This would be good information for all newbies. I think it's a service more than anything.

    You know as well as I and as well as anyone who has been here over the past six months that this has been explained and beaten to death. If you want to have it explained go back and read the 75 or so recent threads on it. Or buy the book and read it. It won't kill you to get off of a play site and pick up a book and with that you shall have your answer.

    Cleansing our bodies of body hair is always a nice cleanse. That one is my favorite.

    About 30 years ago, I drank an entire bottle of Virginia Gentleman whiskey in less than 24 hours.

    That was the beginning of a cleansing period that might better be referred to as a "purge." In any case, I could actually feel the toxins leaving my body (mostly they ended up on the bathroom wall).

    this is dumb. why do you care if ppl wanna cleanse?

    I want to understand the science behind it.

    You can't

    I'm very technical and have a good grasp of basic human biology. I think I could understand if it was explained to me. At least pointed to some source.

    I think she means "you can't" in the sense that there is no science behind it, so there's nothing to understand that a good Snopes article could not clear up.

    My fur keeps me warm in the winter. I mean, it's 80 in the winter where I live, but still.

    We all have to have our vices to keep us warm. Some prefer women, some prefer men, and others prefer fur.
