yeah, I know anvil and I asked them what it eliminates? no one could answer except for the poop answer LMAO.Then one woman said her mom was a nurse for 35 years and sees no problem with her using the product lol. I just said the more you use something that helps you poop the more your body will rely on it.and if she cant poop on her own she either needs to change her diet or see a dr. I cant believe that people will believe the hype. the first ingredient is senna,which we know what senna does. but people believe the "oh,its all natural,it cant hurt me"0

And there you have it. Snake oil peddlers will come up with all kinds of woo and pseudoscience, but ask them to point you to just one actual peer-reviewed study. Don't hold your breath waiting for any actual science to back up what they're saying, because there isn't any.CharlieBeansmomTracey wrote: »...I cant believe that people will believe the hype. the first ingredient is senna,which we know what senna does. but people believe the "oh,its all natural,it cant hurt me"
I've heard that mantra as well. I like to respond that there are plenty of "all natural" things that can kill a human. We eat mushrooms, but certain species are deadly. Arsenic is all natural, but deadly to humans also. Even too much water, which (in proper amounts) is essential to our survival, can kill you (via hyponatremia).0 -

There is one, but it's a secret. I'm afraid you will have to join our secret brotherhood if you really want to detox.0 -

It's still OK to drink only distilled water, rain water, and pure grain alcohol to prevent the Communists from poisoning my bodily fluids with fluoridated water, right?0

I think that third one is used in many detoxes specifically for its sterilization abilities. It's on my list of top 1 cleanses.0 -

Yes. Half because people get on that Resolution kick and the other half that tries to sell their products to those on that Resolution kick.0
