Detox

12 years ago

Detoxification is a process of eliminating existing toxins and preventing new toxins to enter into our body. It is one of the most widely used procedures and concepts in alternative medicine. Many herbal supplements and strategies are used in detoxification therapies; these include ear candling, laxatives, exercise, and acupressure. These methods flash out toxins and unwanted elements in our body through sweating, bowel movement, urinating and relaxation.

Since this thread has been dredged up by a spammer I'll state my opinions on "detoxes". I think if one's usual diet is "dairy, caffeine and processed foods" and "sugar, alcohol, caffeine, gluten and animal products" as some "famous people" report, then one probably needs a "detox". Or at least to eliminate those toxic substances from one's diet for a week or more. If the usual diet is high in fresh and mostly raw veggies, some fruit, and some high quality protein with none of the unhealthy stuff then a "detox" will never be necessary. The most I ever do to detox is to use raw garlic for a few days and ensure my water intake is sufficient. I expect there are some parasites attached to fresh imported produce which is why I like to use raw garlic occasionally. If I have no parasites the garlic probably won't hurt and I like the flavor anyhow. I try to use "food as my medicine".

When watching the Doctor's, they said no one needs to do a detox, its a hype. Don't waste your time or money.

No prove of Acupressure or massage helping to get rid of toxins.

All just snake oil and the dumb will buy it.
