I started the Jillian Michael's Detox on Friday & I got really sick Tuesday - I'm still sick & going to the doctor today. (I haven't been sick in over a year.) I've heard that probiotics help your immune system. The first 7 days of this program are detox, then you take 7 days of probiotics. Has anyone else gotten sick during detox?

    I wouldn't continue with the program. And yes, definitely see your doctor.

    I read online last night she is being sued over that detox, because alot of those ingredients are harmful enough to cause death. One of the ingredients was claimed to be normally used to melt ice off warcrafts. Check with a physician to make sure you are okay, and discontinue immediately.

    I just read that she is getting sued over her Detox because it has some chemical that is dangerous for your body.

    I guess this is why we're supposed to check with a doctor before starting any new program :(

    I hope it's nothing serious and you recover quickly!

    I think the best way to detox your body is to eat organic vegetables and fruits and drink lots of water. I hate all of these things you can buy in stores not for quick weight loss and detoxing. Its all a money making scam, and its unhealthy. I hope you get better soon! Being sick is awful.
