Dear Alyse: Do you know of any good detox methods (besides not drinking alcohol for a couple of weeks, which I plan to do after last night). I heard about a "liver flush" and I also heard about a weeklong gradual cleansing/fast program--do you recommend anything like that? Also, do you recommend any colon flushes or the supplements or is that not a good idea? |

I do NOT approve of any cleansing/fasting programs or colon flushes/supplements. There is absolutely NO scientific evidence suggesting that these rid your body of toxins, improve health, or prevent disease. They are all just marketing schemes to make money.
Colon flushes are only appropriate for a medical exam of the colon. Consuming all those supplements is expensive and can be very dangerous. As for the fasting regimine, you are basically starving yourself for a week...some people feel better during this because they lose some weight, but in the long run they are only hurting their weight loss efforts. By starving themselves they are slowing down their metabolism, so it becomes even harder for them to lose weight.
So, my advice to you is just to lay off the alcohol and consume a well-balanced, minimally processed diet. |
