Caution: The cleanse might interfere with the absorption of your medications which could potentially put you at risk for any of a number of acute cardiac events. There is good science to support the benefits of the medications you have been prescribed. Do you have similar scientific or clinical evidence to support the benefits of your cleanse? Weigh your risks over your benefits and make a wise choice.
