^^ That's not ridding your body of toxins, it's helping you empty your colon of poop. Combined with the liquid diet that is. It's apparently mostly a laxative as well.

Not something that is actually healthy, just preparation for medical treatment.

And, when used in other ways (such as the insipid cayenne pepper/lemonade cleanse), it also causes people to think they're excreting "toxins" in small, pellet form - "plaques" and other garbage. It's usually blood.

There's no such thing as a quick-fix cleanse. If you're serious about it, drink nothing but water and eat raw foods for about a month. There's really just no other way.

Back to the topic, I have found that eating only fruit before noon is somewhat helpful, as far as ensuring regular elimination.
