The friend that told you not to do another is correct. Cleanses are a good way to waste your money and don't actually do anything for you.24

The only person that cleanse will help is the one making a profit from it's sale.19

If your body contains toxins that your kidneys and liver aren't dealing with, you need a doctor, not a detox.
Detoxes and cleanses are complete woo invented by utter geniuses who worked out they could make money from giving people diarrhea and having them pay for the privilege.29 -
I looked at the Vitamin Shoppe 7 day cleanse.
2 ingrendients: Magnesium 1,000 mg. = Enough to give anyone diahreah for days. With a touch of potassium. All this for a whopping $$22.00
All it's doing is cleaning your wallet. Magnesium is cheap at walmart. And diahreah is not good for anyone.22 -
Detoxes are stupid.
Don't be stupid.24 -

if u eat alot of processed products then i recommend doing an all natural detox by eating and drinking lots of fresh fruits and fresh veggies and a gallon of water a day.. it works try it for a week.. then from there continue eating real food and drinking plenty of water.. no need to buy a detox just eat right from here on out. or try doing a water fast once a week58

Your body is made to regulate itself. Eat right and drink water, you're set!8

Listen to your one smart friend who says not to do it.14

Lol, it's laughable when personal trainers who may have "online certs" condone these. Obviously these trainers never took an actually physiology class because there is no Journal of Medicine or Science that endorses "cleanses" nor admits they are even effective for anything.disney_addict_1028 wrote: »Hey everyone my friend and I started a 7 day body detox cleanse.

Can I detox my body from the fresh fruits and veggies by eating processed products? Can I call it the processed detox? I think I will do this and sell it. Anyone want to buy my processed detox starter kit? Comes with a two liter of Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry, a large bag of flaming hot Cheetos, and a bag of sugar free gummy bears. Just eat that for seven days straight, and you'll be free and clear of all those sugar laden fruits and veggies.

@bagge72 You need a name for your book kit. A catchy name. And more ingredients for variety.1

Hmm, maybe call it "Stupid *kitten* People Will Buy!" or "Stupid *kitten* People Will Do To Themselves"? Kitten = Swear word for poop.

Dr. Oz could probably help you with this.6 -
Too many such "detox" and "cleanses" can screw with your gut flora. Save such things for colonoscopy prep.8

A cleanse is good if you're constipated, I guess2 -

I don't think people consider this when they do a detox and it's an important issue to bring up.5 -
I did the 10 day detox by Hyman without the supplements. Basicly it is protein, veggies and good fats. I needed a jump start on eating healthy and this did it for me.23

How much did it cost2

Sounds like a diet of food. I approve. Not sure why a doctor's guidance is needed for that, though.3 -
