How effective is a cleanse?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Be careful: Your body cleans itself out amazingly well. If someone is trying to sell you something to remove supposed toxins (GMO food, agricultural chemicals, or whatever), use discernment and get your physician's advice. Some of these can land you in the intensive care unit.

Cleanse?: What type of cleanse? Most of the fad's that promote 'cleansing' ignore the truth about health and human bodies. Your body already has mechanisms in place to keep itself 'cleansed'. These are the liver, the kidneys and the lymph system. You do not need anything extra to 'cleanse' yourself then lots of rest and good hydration.
