Anyone ever do a full body cleanse or a colon cleanse? If so, what are your recommendations? I did an "Evercleanse" (http://www.evercleanse.com/) before, but I have no idea of the results b/c it was right when I quit drinking for a year, which gives you the shits anyway.

I'm probably looking at $30 max, if anyone has any ideas.

Just ask CCRunner. If you're a teenage boy, I'm sure he'll clean your colon.

LOL. Um, OK? Cleansing makes you an idiot? Don't get me wrong, I know I'm an idiot, but for other reasons than wanting to cleanse my body of toxins.

Eat the right food, and you don't need to take 9 pills a day to cleanse your body.

Toxins from the shit I put in my body on a daily basis, from fast food, to preservatives, etc. No, not weed.

Perhaps, but I'm not looking for diet tips. I'm looking for a good body cleanse. Not surprised that went over your head. (ZING).

You aren't supposed to use a cleanse because it washses out the good bacteria too.

Real detoxification of foreign substances takes place in the liver, which modifies their chemical structure so they can be excreted by the kidneys which filter them from the blood into the urine. --Stephen Barrett, M.D.
"Toxin" is classic pseudoscience terminology." --Ben Goldacre, M.D.
"...these detox programs amount to a large quantity of excrement, both literally and figuratively.” --Peter Pressman, M.D.


Thus, while detoxification therapies abound, there doesn't seem to be any compelling reason the average person should consider using any of them. They are not based on solid scientific evidence. They are sold to the general public mainly by appealing to fear (of being poisoned by our foods, water, air, and general modern environment) and hope (of good health, feeling better or less tired, and the like). Worst of all, the word 'detoxification' when used by the sellers of foods, drinks, herbs, and machines, is almost always so vague, ambiguous, or obscure as to be meaningless. The purveyors of these products fancy themselves to be offering a progressive response to the modern world with its many sources of pollutants that find their way into our bodies. In reality, these snake oil hucksters are akin to the pre-scientific physicians and barbers who used bloodletting to remove 'bad humors' and poisons in an effort to cleanse their patients.

Stop being an idiot and lose weight the old fashion way ETB.

Really, the only reason I want to cleanse is to take a picture of the afterbirth, duh.

I wasn't giving you diet tips, I was just guiding you to the correct way to naturally cleanse your body instead of resorting to taking 9 pills a day. Not surprised that went over your head. If your fat ass wants to try and take the easy way out by using pills to help you shit out all the crap you eat, then so be it. Hint: It won't work.

I get plenty of exercise the time of year. For the remainder of the basketball season, I have dropped beer/alcohol and caffeine/pop. Those are two big ones. I'm just looking for something to help rid my body of some of the built up toxins that I know I have accumulated. Instead of being like_that, perhaps provide me information on some good natural alternatives?

Can't wait for ETB to start a fail thread a few months down the line asking us for thoughts on a colonoscopy. /sarcasm

tract can be harmful. Nor is there any evidence that doing so is efficacious either. Colon cleansing very likely does remove beneficial bacteria; however, there have been no reported cases of harm resulting due to a depletion of bacteria from this sort of treatment. Bacteria, if anything, are resilient, reproduce quickly and will re-establish itself in the gut. However, if nature teaches us anything it is that disrupting the environmental niches of an organism will often result in unforeseen consequences. Environmental changes must occur gradually so that organisms have time to adapt.

I ate too much pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day, that seemed to clean out my colon Monday, and I think I only paid $1.79 for the bag of kraut.

Try excercising and eating natural foods that are high in fiber. Body cleansed.
