I used magnesium tablets..and they did the job very well..........I started out very slowly, with 1, 3 x a day, then in 2 days 2, 3 x a day, and then 3, 3 x a day, and so on, until I started getting good results....... Evidently the 3, 3 x a day was what my body responded to...... I also use Target's version of Benefiber......2 tablespoons 3 x a day.......works wonders.........but by itself; I stopped the magnesium tablets....... sometimes I do 3 teaspoons, 1 or 2 x a day. and let's not forget, folks,,,,,,,,,you DO have to try at least to eat more FRESH fruits and vegetables. Remember, fruits are the cleansers of our body, and vegetables are the builders!!!!!! so happy detoxin' to y'all!!! |

Quoting: SuperManny Personally I take two weeks off from eating and drink lots of water. And occasionally I'll go all out and follow that up with a psillium colon cleanse and an herbal kidney and liver detox. You'll feel like brand new! My ex used to do a 'brown rice diet'. All the rice you can eat and lots of water. (Some versions include raw veggies, but she never did.) Has to be BROWN rice, tho; the white is devoid of nutrients. What's good about this is that you don't have to go hungry, and the rice has enough nutrients that you could do it virtually forever. [link to www.livestrong.com] Yes!

BCHD User ID: 9041357 United States 12/29/2012 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I made a radical change to my diet. I eliminated hydrogenated oils, all processed foods, got the flouride out of my drinking water and most importantly sought a homeopathic doctor and started Chelation therapy which removes all heavy metals from your body. I can't say enough about Chelation Therapy. It is not approved by the AMA nor insurance companies for only one reason. It works. Quoting: Cindy 29557487 I was going to mention this. There is an over the counter chelation therapy that came out last year. The FDA approved it. Readily available on e-bay. Also, coffee enimas remove a large ammount of toxins from the liver. Black walnut husk removes any parasites (flukes) that may be in your system. Dr Hulda Clark is a good resource. |

Hemp oil = baance out your system to normal fat ratio and helps absorbe vitamins A, D, E, K then juice vegetables = get nutrients to repair your system instead of sending it into death starve mode. This is much more efficicient and healthy than a normal juice fast of something useless like lemon juice. I am not a trained etc etc use at own risk etc etc hedge hedge hedge law law law |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26483148 United Kingdom 12/29/2012 04:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was going to wait until New Years day to start my fast, but what the hell, i'll start tomorrow. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5240732 I do have 1 question though. I did a 5 day juice fast last year, and did great until day 4 when I got very, very sick (whole body chills/aches, mild fever, sore throat, etc.) and didn't even want to take any liquids. By the morning of day 5 I was so weak, I caved into my husbands demands that I eat something and had some toast, then a salad, and then felt much better. So was the sickness the actual "detoxing" and I should have just waited it out, or did I just happen to get sick while doing the fast? I had the same problem when I eliminated all bread from my diet. Thumping headaches that got so bad my husband insisted I ate a slice of toast and almost instantly the headache went and I began to feel better. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30287813 United States 12/29/2012 05:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fresh squeezed lemon in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning is great for detoxing the liver. The sour flavor is related to the liver and liver health. This can also dissolve gallstones over the course of weeks or months. In general though, the body will naturally detox itself when it is in balance. If it is not in balance, it will not want to eliminate toxins. Going to extremes like eating bad foods and then going through extreme detox like juicing is not good for the body, and it doesn't work too well. Part of the reason juicing helps detox is because it "cools" the body. Just like water fasting cools the body. Eating fruits and vegetables has a cooling effect on the body. Eating meat, spicy foods, oils and fats, and foods cooked at high temperatures has a warming effect on the body. Grains are neutral. Overeating in general is also warming, and under eating is cooling. Now you can see why juicing or fasting helps detox. If you eat lots of processed foods and chemicals, your body will obviously be more "toxic." Also, if you have excess heat in your body, you will hold on to toxins. Having excess cold is no better, because you will have other problems, such as lack of strength, loss of bone density, lack of energy, etc. There's two extremes. Raw vegans, for example, are one extreme. They will eventually suffer muscle wasting, tooth decay, anemia, weakened spleen evidenced by a distended belly, etc. Then look at bodybuilders who eat lots of warm, building foods. They are big and strong with a good strong metabolism and lots of energy, but they are full of toxins, have excess heat and dampness as evidenced by greasy hair and skin, excess body odor, a congested liver and gallbladder caused by over consumption, etc. Don't keep switching back and forth from the two extremes. Find the middle ground, where your body is in balance, and you won't need to detox, because every second, whether you're eating, walking, or sleeping, you will be "detoxing." You will also have a strong "metabolism" as we say, which is just your body's ability to turn energy into food. Don't eat anything processed. Eat lots of freshly cooked grains, with cooked vegetables and small amounts of meat. Don't cook meat for hours or at high temperature. Saute, braise, or stew. Don't eat too much dairy. It's very dampening. Well aged good quality cheese is ok, as is real yogurt. Don't eat sugar unless its fresh fruit. Don't eat or drink anything cold. It puts out your digestive fire; your "metabolism" as you would say. Don't overly spice your food. Let your tastebuds see what food really tastes like. Did you know beef is sweet? Eat simple foods, and after a few weeks, beef will taste sweet to you. Celery will taste bitter. Avocado will taste sour. When you can really enjoy the flavor of plain grassfed sauteed sandwich steak over a bowl of white rice, then you are in balance, and your body will detoxify on its own. |
