We're a member of a small group caregivers and patients who suffer from a rare form of cancer. We keep a database of information on the various treatments tried. One of the patients did try the gallbladder & liver flush and colon clean and passed a number of stones . . unfortunately it didn't seem to do too much good as he later died. So, I'm not sure what the benefit really is . . but I suppose if it makes you feel better  . . go for it . . but make sure you discuss it with your oncologist first.

They don't work. Sorry, but I not only took them for 6 months, I also sold them as a "home business". They really are a con, and I hope you can lose weight healthily as I am now doing.

Hell no! Don't even use enemas.There are other ways to detox but there is no hardcore reliable scientific proof that detoxing even helps anyone.Do alot of research into whatever method of detoxing you use.I have heard henna(if I spelled it correctly) tea works really well but you will be cramping and having bowel movemnets ALL weekend.Yeah...that's the bulk of a detoxing regiment.Lots of time sitting on the bowl! Don't bother fasting either.You'll watch muscle waste away then.

Maybe at a superficial level, but I think it is just another fad. There are better, more efficient, less expensive methods for detoxing.

There are lots of benefits..They are very good remedy for people suffering from stomach and bowel problems as well as for the liver function.They are ideal natural tranquilizers,because they contain substances close to the Serotonone of the brain..also thy are rich in Potassium.Eaten with moderance they are required for a bunch of health problems and dietary systems..Good luck!

Looks like it's more of a cleaning outthan anything. I'd assume once you cleaned out your system your digestion would be a lot smoother. Prolly helps with metabolism too. looks worth trying if you're able to. Wouldn't stay on it longr than the week though.

Rory, I am not sure what type of detox you are speaking about, but if you really want to detox it all, this is the best way.\n\nThis remedy has been used for a very long time, funny, but works wonders:  colonic!   Go get a colon clense from a specialist...if you need to detox now!\n\nOr-  as Dr. Schultz would say, you are what you eat right!\n\nThree squeezed lemon juice in the morning, plain.\n-water until lunch\n-12:00 go get a shake made or make it your self-  carrott, garlic, spinach, celery, apple shake.     Sounds sick- but works.\nwater and then a light dinner- peanut butter, nutts, hummus with vegetables.  \n Green tea in morning time, Cammomile tea at night.\n\nDo this for a week- a light snack during the day between meals- nutts, dried fruit\n\n-why carrott?  Too many kick A vitamins and minerals!\n-why garlic?  Garlic has been used for ages, it is a natural bacterial fighter, and can detox you body quickly.\n- why celery?  Celery has a mineral that helps you burn calories quicker\n-why Spinach?  It is an overall good source of vitamins \n-why apple-  an apple is great on the stomach, and it has natural healing vitamins that can help us digest our intake more regular.   \n\nThat is the best I can do-   by the way;  the first couple days you will feel very weak.   Bathroom time will be frequent-   no beer, wine, crap!  \n\nEat healthy and exercise regularly after the first week.\n\nGood Luck!

So here are your 5 easy natural detox tips\nEat cherries and strawberries\nThese foods are rich in ellagic acid a nutrient that helps mop up free radicals and help combat pollutants such as alcohol and as a by product they boost brain power.\nYou can also add raspberries an alternative to the above 2 choices.\nEat Grapes\nThese are rich in flavinols, which help your arteries work to their maximum and make blood run smoothly and quickly around the body.\nEat citrus fruits such as berries\nThese foods are rich in vitamins C & E, which will help cleanse and detoxify the liver making it work more efficiently.\nPrunes & Fibre\nEat prunes as they will naturally cleanse the colon stimulating the gut and help expel waste quicker, you should also up your intake of fibre as well to cleanse the colon further.\nApricots\nIf you are smoker this food is particularly useful, apricots are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C which helps repair smoke damage to the lungs.\nCranberries or juice\nContains proanthocyanidin which are antitoxants that will help cleanse and flush out the kidneys.\nYou can also add a couple of supplements if you wish top the above list to help detoxify further. Alfalfa and milk thistle are good choices. The first acts as a general cleanser and the second as a cleanser for the liver.\nYour organ will be working more efficiently with above foods and this will help you get rid of weight faster as your kidneys and liver in particular will work more smoothly.\nNow here are 5 tips to lose weight fast\n5 Easy weight loss tips\nDrink Iced Water\nTwo litres a day minimum. Water has to be iced as the body will burn 100 calories just heating the water to normal body temperature. Also hunger pangs are very often thirst pangs, so this will help you stop over eating.\nAdd lemon to flavour if you wish and gain the added benefit of cleansing your liver at the same time.\nWater also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush waste quicker. When you don't drink enough water the liver needs to help the kidneys perform this function. When the liver has to help the kidneys its normal function of providing stored fat for energy is slowed down.\nGreen tea\nDrink 5 cups a day. Research shows this can burn a massive 80 calories a day! It is believed the antioxidant catechins in green tea boost the metabolism and help burn fat.\nChilli sauce & mustard\nThese foods increase your calorie burning capacity by between 5 - 10% for up to 2 hours after eating. This is because they contain capsaicin which speeds the metabolism, so if you enjoy hot food your in luck!\nLow fat diary foods\nCan increase fat burning in the abdominal area. Why? Because these foods are rich in calcium which encourages the release of fat from fat cells and also reduces the amount of fat absorbed.\nEat Fibre\nEating fiber foods to help keep things moving through your bowel as stated above and makes you feel full.\nThe average person can lose 9-10 pounds in one year just from doubling their fiber intake aim for 25grams per day ( the average for most adults is just 8grams ) fiber rich foods include strawberries, apples, brown rice, chick peas, potatoes ( with skins ) and brown rice.

no harfull efects from mixing the substances you mentioned\nthough I would now suggest you cleanse too eliminate any toxins in your system\nI did the Master Cleanse(lemonade diet) for 21 days straight in 03\nlet me tell you I'd been in an 11 day coma induced with morphine in 92 so I needed to eliminate those toxins in a bold and dramatic way\nten days is long enough for someone who appreciates their body

I tried them for probably 1 1/2 month, and it didnt work out for me, i didnt lose any weight, and they gave me stomachache.\nI took several diet pills and none of them worked out. I lost weight with natural diets, counting calories, and taking classes at the gym 4 times a week.\nTry kick boxing classes, and 1 hour of steady bike. that worked for me.\nGood luck

Yes I did it! I have not gone to the bathroom normally since I did this. I did the cleanse last year, and I while I do go to the bathroom on a much more regular basis now, it is very different from my bowel movements from before I took it. I think it is a good thing, it definitely cleans you out, so be prepared! Make sure, and this is important....drink plenty of water. I think by far this has got to be the best colon cleanser out there. I however, not to be Gross, did not see any worms or any other disturbing things in my poop, so I am guessing that is a good thing. I say go for it, but be sure to read all the directions, and follow them carefully! Let me know how you "make out"\n\nAlso, what I meant about me not going to the bathroom normally, I used to be severely constipated, so going to the bathroom on a regular basis is foreign to me. Good luck on your fecal journey!

If you are going to rely on eating the cleansing agents, then you'd better be prepared for  two to six months of consistent dietary changes before you'll feel any effect.  \n\nYou can access a number of liver detoxification products through online health stores.  This is probably the best and easiest route, since you live so far from town. \n\nI tell you from experience, it's best to use high quality, guaranteed potency herbal extracts (which are a liquid form to be added to warm water - not pills), rather than solid food for liver cleanse.  It's much more convenient, and quicker.  \n\nI suggest you do a bit of research first.  Brand names of herbal extracts that I've used and recommend are, Gaia Herbs, Herbs Etc, and NOW products.\n\nYou can purchase these brands from many online sites. \n \nAlso, there are some online health assessment questionnaires that you can complete to help you get a better idea of what cleansing agents you should use. \n\n ***Online assessment is in no way a reliable substitution for a health evaluation from a certifed Naturopath or Dietician.  But it is a good research tool to help point you in the right direction.\n\n\nOne permanent, simple life change you can make to help keep your liver healthier is to always add dandelion greens to your salad.  And, make sure to eat raw, fresh leafy green every day.\n\nWishing you bountiful health!\n\nEdited}\nI understand your frustration about wanting a direct answer to your direct question.  The answer is: You can only perform liver cleansing by the 'JUST EATING REGULAR GROCERIES METHOD' with a significant time commitment, and sustained dietary changes.  Hence, the reason why the answers you've received reference some product or another.  \n\nThe quickest way to liver cleansing with only groceries is to buy loads of fresh, organic veggies - including:  garlic, onions, kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, beets (root and leaves), black radish, red peppers, cabbage, asparagus, wheat grass, leafy greens including dandelion, various sprouts and several small, fresh lemons.  Commit to a weekend juice fast.  Use a juicer (not a blender ... a juicer gets much more of the nutrition close to the skin) to juice down all but the lemon.  Spend Sat & Sun alternating between the fresh vegetable juice, and lemon water using fresh lemon.  \n\nDepending on the state of your liver and its toxicity, you may need to repeat the juice cleansing several times.  It's alot of work to do it this way, that's to say nothing of the expense.  You really might find purchasing high potency liquid herbals from the internet far more convenient, and ulitmately less expensive.  Good luck.

Definitely!\n\nI have colonics done at least once a month. The average person loses 5-25 lbs of waste.\n\nIt rids your body of built up waste - you think clearer and just feel so much better!\n\nI definitely recommend them!

yes, but they work very slowly so you have to take them in regular basis.\nto stop the immediate diarrhea  eat extremely green bananas.\nthe "enzymes are called "Vitalzym" go to their website and read/learn about enzymes. good luck my friend - i used to suffer from terrible episodes of diarrhea  myself.
