I will be starting this on Sunday, not to lose weight, (though I welcome the weight loss), but to clear my sytem of toxins. I'll be doing it for 14 days. I cant believe people last on this for 40 days!

I thought about getting a colonic, but I was told:
"Any kind of fast or cleanse is going to have more than one benefit. Getting your colon cleansed only treats one thing...your colon. A fast/cleanse helps to detox the entire body. It helps to clean the inner organs as well as the blood. Gets rid of waste in the colon as well as hardened waste in the joints, blood, etc. This give the body the opportunity to replace old cells with new regenerative cells. Additionally, a fast/cleanse also gives the inside of the body a chance to rest and recooperate. Not fasting/cleansing is like the engine of your car running forever without ever turning the engine off to give it a rest."
