What is the best way to do a full body detox cleanse? Ive been sluggish & tired lately, I want to start fresh!

Question

I want to do a full body detox cleanse. I have been so tired and sluggish lately, and need something to cleanse my system. I last did a cleanse about 4 months ago & it really helped, but they have since discontinued the product I used.
I am a 24 y.o female, moderately active lifestyle, in s. ontario. I eat mainly organic and healthy foods, no fast food at all. Walk my dog every day with my son. Am on a budget, and some cleanse programs I checked out are ridiculously expensive. I'd like to find something that won't cost me anything outrageous, and is affordable to do every 3 months or so.
I take a multi vitamin, B12, B6, and iron supplements.
I have IBS, and cleansing seems to help calm it down a lot, too.

Any info on how to do a really in depth, full detox would be fabulous. Thanks.

Answer 1

... Sounds like you are doing a good job of taking care of yourself. Good for you. ...

My personal experience is that fasting is the most powerful and most natural way to cleanse the body. ... Some folks believe that properly done juice fasting is the best way to do this,.. and others believe that straight water fasting is the only true way to fast. ........ Personally, I feel that juice fasting is by far the wiser choice for someone who has not already done a good deal of cleansing work on their system,.. or at least already well into a cleansing, organic and healthy vegetarian diet. ................. If you are talking about someone who is already on a pretty clean diet and who is not taking any sorts of medications or with any serious illnesses,.. than I would say that water fasting is a safe way to go.
.... If a person is taking any sort of medications,... then I would definately not do any sort of fasting. In that case, I would encourage them to go on a cleansing diet, (such as you already follow). ............ If someone is dealing with any sort of serious illness,.. then I would reccommend that they only fast under professional supervision.

Fasting, as a form of cleansing, is thousands of years old,... and of course, (if you are not juice fasting),.. it costs absolutely nothing financially. .. Fasting is an extremely powerful tool for promoting and maintaining health. .................. If you have never fasted before,. I would reccommend that you begin by doing a couple of 24 hour fasts once a week,.. followed by a couple of 3 day fasts once a month,.. followed by a seven day fast which you might do perhaps one month after your second 3 day fast. ................. After that,.. you can either move up to a 10 or a 14 day fast, if that feels right for you,.. (perhaps a few months or more after the 7 day fast), ........... and then You could do something like one 7 or 10 day fast once a year or once every six months,.. to continue to promote and maintain your health.
.............. You need to know that fasting is a science,.. and there is much to learn about how to properly begin,.. undergo and then end and come out of a fast. .... There are some good books available which will instruct you on how to properly fast. Most of them offer somewhat different approaches and philosophies,.. but if you are talking about a straight water fast,... the important instruction pertains to how to begin and how to end the fast. ............ You could look into the books by such authors as; Paul Bragg or Paavo Airola (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=br_ss_hs/103-4191513-9866213?platform=gurupa&url=index%3Dblended&keywords=Fasting&Go.x=7&Go.y=9) ....

There is also information available for free on the web. You will definately find that everyone offers different advice and different approaches. You should choose the advice that feels right to you and your needs.

If you do choose to fast,.. you may want to try and get some high colonics once or twice after you are well into the fast, to help clean out your colon. This is an excellent additional tool to go along with the cleansing process.

Be Well....

If you don't want to do a fasting detox, then there alot of different ones to use at a health food store. I know how you are feeling. I've been there, but I can't do the fasting ones, so my local health food store helps me out everytime. One I persnally like is called Yerba Prima. It's a combination of 3 supplements you take daily. It like a two week program I think. It works so well for me! Don't listen to the people who say it's not worth it. Everything needs to be cleaned up occasionally. With all the toxins we come in contact with daily. Chemicals and preservatives in our food. Take care of your body. You should be proud to be caring for yourself so well! Good Luck

The best thing that I know of as a healthy little pick me up is a booster juice smoothie every other day. Im sure youve heard of booster juice before if your living in southern ontario..its this little smoothie bar, if you want to clean out your system I would suggest something with acceti berries in it. I always go for that after a night of drinkin ;) mmm my fave would have to be acceti blast it has acceti berries, (acceti berries are double blueberry and double pommegrante) strawberries, rasberries, bannana and is mixed in with some soy milk. Super healthy, leaves your skin top shelf and it tastes fantastic...man i sound like i work for this place and am trying to sell there ****.
im not. haha

Answer 4

I've never done a full body detox before but i know my mom has and she says that it makes her feel realy "fresh" so to say....but anyways you can get a full body detox kit from a vitamin store...just tell them exactly what you want and if your on a budget tell them that too and then they'll give you a kit...sometimes its in powder form that you mix into a drink and sometimes its in pill form ....just depends what you get.

Answer 5

Go to the health food store and ask for liquid aloe. There are different kinds and it cleanses your system.

Answer 6

do a juice fast accompanied with bentonite and psyllium husks slushies for 5-7 days. do a regular coffee enema each evening. that will clean you out good....the stuff that will come out of your system will look like pieces of truck tires.
