Cleanse Fasting & Intermittent Fasting?

If you poop and pee, you are already cleansed.

Where's Rigger when you need him? He has a great colon cleanse recipe along with use description.

What kind of Dr would recommend something like that?!?!

Doctor Oz!!

Hope Rigger doesn't mind me pasting this for him. I know he's here in spirit!

I said it before and I'll say it again. My detox is simple, cheap, and takes only half a day.

Rigger's detox, take one glass of water, add several drops of VVL-800 machine oil, consume oil/water mixture, wait 15 minutes and take up residence on yonder porcelain throne for the next 6-10 hours.

So easy anyone can do it. End Quote.

I was considering doing a basic colon cleanse to start off with. They sell a few at my local health foods store.

If you poop and pee, you are already cleansed and do not need to purchase anything extra from a store.

I get that
But my doctor mentioned doing a detoxification

Was he your Dr. or your "Dr."?

I think a a detox program such as Dr Oz's 3 day one can be great for removing many of the bad things in our diet and keeping daily calorie count down. I think it can be a good idea for 2 to 4 days but I am not sure if I would do it for an entire week. Starting on a sensible diet after that should work great! Detoxing and then going back to a bad diet I think would not really accomplish anything.

I do not think a cleanse is a good thing though. It seems unnatural to clear absolutely everything out. Our bodies will naturally clear out toxins once we stop taking them in.

Guess what? If you poop and you pee, you are cleansed AND detoxed. Pretty nifty.

You have to do what you feel is right for you... I do diatomacious earth daily for a parasite cleanse. I will be doing a liver detox I got from a friend where it's basically whole good food minus dairy and meat but I have to have some animal protein when I do it. It involves apple juice and then some calcium citrate. Everyone has their own opinion but you have to follow what feels right for your body in your time. I have seen many post on here about people that still eat fast food and junk food and fully defend that. Even though I would never justify that for myself it's their path. Maybe consult with a naturopath or an herbalist to get more information.

I've been intermittent fasting for over 2 years and love it . Mondays are usually my longest fasts around 20 - 24 hrs then 16 to 18 hrs the rest of the week . Fasting is sort of a cleanse .
