I am doing some research on detox and various ways of going about it. I am looking for natural, organic methods of detox. My questions are, have you detoxed before? How long is the process? What does it do exactly? What are the outcomes? Do you think it’s healthy and how often should it be done?

A herb called milkthistle is a natural way to clean out toxins from your liver, etc & it’s a gentle way to do it. I used a product called Legalon I think, which was basically milkthistle in tablet form. I guess maybe doing this once or twice a year until the box or bottle is finished.
I’ve also tried the drastic product called Colozone. It’s very high in magnesium & you take it every night for 7 days & it flushes out your system just like a colonic. It’s pretty drastic though, like every morning you have to run to the toilet because it all comes out like liquid diarrhea! It sure did work for cleaning out your system (you should only do this once per year) but it was quite an experience.
Also psyillium husks are good for intestinal cleansing. It’s a powder you put in orange juice & drink everyday, it’s basically a gentle fibre & very good for your system, particularly if you tend to not have muesli or anything like that for breakfast. It basically just keeps you having a regular daily bowel movement. It’s also very inexpensive & you can get it at your health store. Doctors often recommend it for people who don’t consume enough fibre in their diet & maybe get constipated sometimes or aren’t having a bowel movement every day.
A product called HMD heavy metal detox is the best on the market for using if you think you are overloaded with chemicals from things like hair dye you’ve been using or maybe you’ve been doing something around chemicals like painting your house or something. It’s quite expensive though & not worth it unless you think you’re sensitive to chemicals. Also anti perspirants are bad re the chemicals they release into your body (like aluminium cholorhydrate) & you should only use ones with natural ingredients (although it can be a search to find one that actually stops the smell of sweat - I’ve only managed to find one - it’s called Spring Fresh deoderant by Natures Gate in California). Try googling it to buy online if it’s not available locally.
How do I know all this? Trial & error & my naturopath has recommended all this to me & she knows all the good brands (as some are bad quality). So there you go, I’ve spend a few hundred dollars at my naturopath to find all this out & now you have the same info for free!

Zebra is right on the money. Enzymatic Therapy makes an all organic cleanse in a box that just came out. Has all that Zebra was talking about in it. Two week cleanse and costs around 36 dollars. Just a note on the deodorant: Most people try the natural stuff and decide it is not for them because of two reasons: perspiration and odor. You are supposed to sweat, that is how you get rid of toxins and no natural deodorant will have antiperspirant in it. To get rid of the odor you can take chlorophyll tabs for 30 days and they will cleanse the blood as well as take care of the odor. Good luck!
