I have heard that before you start to take supplements and such, you should do an herbal cleanse so that your body will better absorb the supplements. I have also read that the previous statements are crap. So, I wanted to ask real people what they think instead of reading article after article on Google :)

    I'm on the ''it's all crap'' side.
    Your body doesn't need cleansing; people selling those cleanses need money though.

    I agree with your second statement that it is crap. Your body already cleanses itself and it will absorb the supplements just fine.

    There are a lot of good reasons to eat herbs, but this is not one of them.

    You could just drink coffee and poop it all out. Your liver and kidney will do the work. The only built up toxins you may have will be stored in fat so I think the only way to get rid of that is to burn off fat, which typically doesn't happen with cleanses (you lose water weight and such).

    Um.. but I learned this from House.. lol!

    Anyway, I'm against cleanses.

    Here are my directions for a two part cleanse..which coincidentally just so happens to be herbal:

    1)Take this plant..usually very fragrant and found in a baggy..and if you just so happen to light it on fire it has effects which will have you craving Taco Bell.

    2) Don't be alarmed, it's a part of the process. Proceed to eat 30 bucks worth of taco bell, I recommend anything with beans.

    1 hour later while watching cartoon network..boom you shall begin your cleanse.
