Question 1

how frequently should i cleanse my body?

Accepted Answer

By staying fit: The best thing by far is to eat sensibly and spend a fair amount of time each day exercising hard. Your body and your internal organs clean themselves naturally. Anyone telling you to drink something weird or do something off-the-wall is at best deceived and at worst playing a cruel prank on you -- some of the "health cleanses" on the internet can land you in the intensive care unit.

Question 2

best way to cleanse your body internally ?

Accepted Answer

No need: Eat healthy and exercise.  Our bodies cleanse themselves beautfiully when cared for appropriately.  Most marketed "cleansers" are just laxatives that can lead to complications with excess use and in some folks with any use. If you must do so, i suggest going on a fruit and water only diet for 2-3 days, along with age and health appropriate exercise; this will improve your bowel function a bit also.

Question 3

when is it recommended to cleanse your body?

Accepted Answer

Daily: We are exposed to toxic agents every moment. Maintaining good nutrition is critical, and i suggest a good whole foods based multivitamin/mineral as a start. A product called natural cellular defense is one of the best detox agents i've found, and I use it every day.

Question 4

what is the best way to cleanse your body of toxins?

Accepted Answer

Good nutrition: Do no look for pill, wraps, enemas etc.  A balanced diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low in saturated fats would be helpful.  Keeping weight under control through caloric restriction and exercise are important, though easier said than done.

Question 5

when is it unsafe to do a body cleanse?

Accepted Answer

Check with your MD: I would not recommend a body cleanse if you are going through an acute illness (such as the flu or other febrile illness), when you are debilitated, or if you are not well-nourished.  Cleanses may be depleting if not done correctly.

Question 6

what to tell me about a body cleansing?

Accepted Answer

Ineffective: This is a mantra among non-md "health practitioners" like naturopaths that the body has accumulated toxins which their regimens can correct.  The body is in fact magnificent at cleaning itself out and there is not objective evidence, and no clinical studies, that "detoxification" has any value.  Don't waste your money.  If you are feeling ill, there may be a cause, but it is not toxins.

Question 7

how does puriclean work to cleanse your body?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't work.: Puriclean is intended to mask the traces of drugs in your body for the purposes of "detoxing," passing a drug test, or minimizing a hangover. However, its ingredients have never been shown to effectively do this. No supplements, cleanses, or "detoxes" can strip your body of chemicals or "toxins" more effectively than your liver and kidneys already do, over the proper timeline.  Don't waste your $.

Question 8

please explain what exactly is a body cleanse..?

Accepted Answer

Scams: Your body and your internal organs clean themselves naturally. Anyone telling you to drink something weird or do something goofy is at best deceived and at worst playing a cruel prank on you -- some of the "health cleanses" on the internet can land you in the intensive care unit.

Question 9

how can i cleanse the body of all chemicals and toxins?

Accepted Answer

Live healthy: Your body naturally cleans itself. Do yourself a favor and eat sensibly and take up exercise. Ignore everybody who tries to get you to use an exotic &quot;purge&quot; or &quot;cleansing&quot; procedure -- these are a waste and can be dangerous. Everything is made of chemicals, and even your body is naturally somewhat radioactive. Fitness is your best defense.

Question 10

what is a full body fat and lymphatic cleanse?

Accepted Answer

A nonproven detox: I don't know much about this, but my understanding is this is a method advocated by some natural medicine folks of cleansing the body of toxins using exercise, massage, skin brushing, and deep breathing.  It is not known to treat or prevent any disease.  These techniques cannot remove toxins from the body, but they may make a person feel better by decreasing stress and improving relaxation.
