Yeah, your body can be "toxic" and need a "cleanse."
There are lots of ways to go about it. But choose something that is gentle, not harsh. And not expensive or hard to conform to.
Please elaborate...

I had to check to see if you were in the same state I am. I have a chiropractor (who is great at fixing my back!) who also pushed nutritional supplements. I didn't buy. He took them, and thought if one pill was good, two or three would be better. His skin started to get a real distinct orange color. His MD told him he was getting too much vitamin A. Its interesting having a chiropractor who resembles an oompa loompa. However, the lesson here is do not take nutritional advice from a chiropractor. Its not his specialty.
Your body has its own cleansing system. They are your liver, kidneys and digestive tract. Eat plenty of nutritious food and drink plenty of water. Thats all you need. Good luck to you.0 -
Our bodies are full of toxins from the food we eat that are full of pesticide, fungicides, herbicides, etc. to the environment around us that is full of toxins that we breathe in every day! Our bodies simply just cannot keep up with the amount of toxins we take into our bodies every day. I use isagenix products to increase my health and decrease my toxicity as they are organic and full of vitamins and nutrients and aid in weight loss as well. I cleanse for 2 days twice a month and have never felt better in my life! I am a firm believer in cleansing!
Please cite the peer-reviewed studies that demonstrated a reduction in any toxin stored in the body from the use of the product you are so obviously selling. We'll wait.0 -
Your body doesn't have toxins to cleanse...that's what the liver and kidneys are for. if you're peeing and pooing like a champ, you're good.
Methinks he should stick to his own field...:/
This is what I say to anyone who utters the words "detox" or "cleanse" - you have organs for that. Except for the poop and pee bit - I am going to add that on now.0 -
very slightly off topic.... But I Work in a health food store. I like to be healthy and nutrtious. I think certain vitamins, minerals, herbs have their beneficial uses.... But a LOT of what the other workers believe and do and tell others m mind want to explode.
Like yesterday a man came in asking about body cleanses. We have a whole shelving section for cleanses. My co-worker, who is an awesome person BTW, is going on and on about cleanses and which to start with and which herbs cleanse which toxins, etc.
I keep thinking to myself...I have a working liver & digestive system and I sweat & pee... I think I've got the toxins under control.0 -
OK... you win. How on earth would a supplement ( depending on what it is) not be natural. I take a spirulina supplement...totally natural. I take garlic...natural.
I think Chiropractors are awesome. I think nutritionist ( good ones) are awesome. I think you guys NEVER give good advice here and only belittle everyone eles's profession but your own. So please, continue. I'm totally good now!
Sorry for saying idiot...that was out of line.
Well then I'll try to give some good advice.
I am concerned by your suggestion that natural is always good: Apple pips and apricot kernels contain cyanide, which, if eaten in large enough quantities would kill you. Eating five uncooked red kidney beans could give you a severe reaction from the lectins within them that you could be vomiting for days and even go into a coma. Oxalic acid in raw rhubarb can cause a variety of nasty symptoms including nervous system damage. Just because it is natural doesn't mean it is safe, and particularly in the case of supplements you could end up consuming large amounts of compounds that you would never normally find in a diet. This is why nutritionists - the good ones - recommend eating a healthy diet and not popping pills.
Sounds like you've got nutritionist trust issues, so I hope you have more positive experiences in future.0 -

nawh, your body is way too intelligent to hold onto "toxins" I mean, wtf does that even mean?!
That said, mentally its quite nice to have a "cleanse". Feels like a fresh slate. I wouldn't do it because some guy who deals with backs says so, it just doesn't make any sense.0 -
Not selling anything and I personally make no money from selling the products. Just saying that I believe in cleansing, have stated the product I use and how it benefits me.0

I cleansed myself with some Boy Scout buffalo cheddar popcorn.0

And who is saying our body's can't keep up? Yeah, there are some obvious toxins (erm...poisons) that can build up in our bodies. For instance, if we eat lead paint or paint it on our faces, it will be absorbed and will lead to toxicity. Are you by chance actually taking chelation therapy that is being touted as a 'toxin cleanse'? Other than a few heavy metals, there isn't much our body's can't flush out all on their own. I'd love to know the toxins you think you have that are being decreased with 'organic cleanses'.
BTW, washing your fruits and vegetables with soap (there it is!) will remove any pesticide, fungicides, and herbicides. I certainly hope you are at least doing that!0 -

People keep thinking that 'organic' means that nothing is used on the produce. They fail to realize that pesticides are still used, they just happen to be 'natural'. They're still killing the bugs though so they ain't any safer than chemical pesticides.0 -

I have my organics list right here. We use the following in the vineyards: Copperoxychloride, sulphur, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, kaolin clay, spinosads, pheromones, pyrethrins, potassium salts, insecticidal soap, & citric acid.
That's just the short list of approved sprays.0
