Anyone know of a good way to detoxify without starving?


Posted by Tracey R.

Hi Tracey,

I personally love milk thistle. You just use a few drops per day over a period of time, and it's great for naturally cleansing the liver.

Thanks, Nirmala! I'll look into that. I just heard about this book called Detoxify or Die. It was recommended on this Repetive Strain Injury support group list that I'm on, so I thought I'd check it out. Ever heard of it? I consider myself a pretty healthy eater and don't smoke or drink (much), but I've read that there are an increasing number of toxins in our environment that we are exposed to on a daily basis. Is milk thistle just for the liver or does it have other detoxifying benefits that you know of?

Hi Tracey,

Have heard of wheat grass juice? wheat grass juice has high level of antioxidents. Proponents of wheatgrass use claims that regular ingestion of the plant can improve the digestive system, prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease, cure constipation, detoxify heavy metals from the bloodstream, cleanse the liver, prevent hair loss and help to make menopause more manageable.

Thanks for the great advice, Sandra. Unfortunately, I think I can't have wheat grass because I have a gluten intolerance. At least I can't have wheat. I'll have to check if wheat grass has gluten or not. Thanks again!
