    Question: What toxin is the detox supposed to remove?

    The kidney flush is to help with persistent UTI's and the liver part is to help with the fatty liver.

    Is that considered a kidney disorder? Because it says right on the website not to take it if you have a kidney disorder

    No it is a recent thing, it is not considered a disorder that is when you have something cronic that is making it so your kidneys don't function properly. I have been tested for that type of stuff and it all came up negative.

    The human body is perfectly designed to create balance. Each organ has a job to do and does it very well without any interference from pointless cleanses or detoxes. Seriously trust in your body's ability to do its job

    UTIs are caused by bacteria and should be treated with antibiotics. Herbal substances are not regulated by the FDA, and can therefore be dangerous to take - especially if you have medical conditions requiring you to take certain prescription drugs.

    Doesn't persistant pretty much mean chronic? And UTI's are more of a Urologist thing, not a endo/ GI MD

    I have done the antibiotic's, and it goes away but then comes back which is why she wants me to try taking some supplements and eliminating things from my diet and see if it helps.

    I have never done this cleanse but am curious to see how it goes for you. When do you start? Will your report back to this thread to let us know how it went?

    She's recommending something which is outside the scope of her expertise. If I were you I'd be seeing an urologist

    This ^^ Or a nutritionist...

    UTIs are typically caused by bacteria and generally come from poor potty or sexual activity hygiene, not by what you eat.

    I have done the Wild Rose a few times, but I did not take the laxative after the first two days as it was too harsh on my system. I think you're right to be wary of the laxative - and even if you decide to try this particular detox I'd definitely stay away from it. Your body won't need it. The detox otherwise was okay; I had the flu-ish symptoms they predicted in their documentation around days 3-4 and then started to feel better. I didn't notice a significant difference after it was over ... but then I didn't have any health issues that prompted me to do it, and you may find it has a different effect on your body. I will say that I got the same response from my body when I did a ketogenic diet a few years ago, and the only supplements I had to take were normal vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, and so on. My body felt much better in ketosis and best of all, it didn't call for weird herbs or laxatives. Just my two cents.

    I know there are naysayers on this thread, but I say do what feels right to you under your doctor's supervision. Kudos for asking around and doing your own research, too. :smile:

    Thank you so much for your helpful comments, they are very helpful. And your comments about going ketogenic was also one of the things she said I could try. My doctor is not saying I need to do a detox, she said it was one of the things I could try, but not just anyone, and that she has had some patients it seemed to help but it could have just been the elimination that helped. She was the one that encouraged me to do my own research and then when I see her next week again we can discuss it all and make a decision about what I want to do together.

    if you are having reoccurring UTIs you need to see a urologist. it could be an underlying condition that only a urologist can diagnose. eliminating certain foods isnt going to help. if its not from bad bathroom habits or not peeing before and after sex(which is recommended),etc then you need to see a specialist. it should not come back after antibiotics and, if it does/did either they werent strong enough or something is wrong.I have had a few of them in my lifetime and usually the antibiotics do their things. its very far and few between when I do get the next one IF,I get one. also a trainer that recommends a detox is either an idiot and believes that they work or they are getting some kind of compensation for pushing it.

    I would skip any laxative, those seem harsh, unless she's genuinely concerned that you need that part.

    If you are having recurring UTI's, I would recommend having that looked at by a specialist. It's no good to be on repeat courses of antibiotics, for any part of your body.

    Best of luck!

    Actually I'd more suggest a Registered Dietitian over a nutritionist.

    Thank you for your advice, I do see a urologist and they can't figure it out either. Hence the trying different things. Though as I said just doing some research, not sure I want to do anything as extreme as a detox. And yes if I did I think I would skip the laxative herbs.

    What I'm not understanding here is if the OP's doctor believes a detox is medically necessary, why that doctor didn't recommend which detox and then supervise it given all the risks involved with detoxes sold on the market today.

    She never said it was medically necessary, she said it was something I could try, as the doctors can't seem to figure out what is happening on several fronts, and a few of her patients have had good results using one. She did recommend 1 of 3 different one's and specifically said only one of those one's, and I never said she wouldn't be supervising me, in fact she will closely if that is what I choose yo do. I asked about this particular one because my trainer had done it himself and liked how he felt after. And for those saying get a new trainer, he never once said to do a detox, he sticks to workout advice and general simple nutrition advice. He would never push a detox on anyone, I asked him if he had ever done one and recognized any of the names.

    Herbal supplements are not dangerous.
