I am doing a 'renew' body detox. Does anyone know if it's safe and worth doing? Pro's? Con's?

It's called CleanseSmart by Renew Life

I have used this product and have recommended it to several clients, as well. It is an effective, gentle cleanse. If this is the first time you've done this, you may want to repeat it in another month or so and then every 4-5 months as follow-up just to make sure things are moving out of the body and not causing imbalances -- especially if you eat any processed foods at all.
I'm not sure why folks answering questions on this site waste their time referring people to "quackwatch" -- probably have their retirement investments in pharmaceutical stock. Society is realizing that western medicine merely masks symptoms, while alternative and complimentary therapies actually heal.

There are many detoxes out there. In principle, it's a good thing to detoxify yourself. Toxins can impact weight gain, chronic health, etc. There are those who think it's all non-sense. I guess wait and compare when these people are in their 60's, 70's and beyond. Some detox programs are more rigorous than others and may put more strain on your body than you are up for. There are ways to cleanse your body nutritionally, such as building up your bodies' glutathione levels. Glutathione is your body's natural detoxifier (among other things). If you are considering an herbal deep cleanse, you may find it better to detoxify through glutathione.
How do you build up glutathione? Simple. Eat only raw proteins, or get yourself a quality, bio-available whey protein isolate (do not confuse with whey protein concentrate or any of the body building grades that are commonly found in stores). What this will do is provide you with the essential amino acids that cooking and processing normally take out of your foods (leaving you with a deficiency). It's completely safe. And if this was way too much info, I appologize!

I am not sure about the "renew" body detox; however, I am positive that herbal cleansings work. I just completed one that took 36 days; it was done in three parts...12 days each part. It was a combination of herbs for a "colon" cleanse. I had been extremely sick with an upper respiratory infection that settled in my LUNGS. Long story short....someone told me to do a herbal cleanse, and I am feeling 95% better. Still just a little mucus left; however, I had been sick with this for 3 months...Therefore for the herbs to work in 36 days was REMARKABLE! Highly recommended! (I went to an Herbalist, and she gave me the combination of herbs to take).

I have had digestion problems for years which include bloating, heartburn, indigestion, face flushing, sinus congestion, etc. I have now been on a special eating plan to avoid all sorts of "toxic" foods which include white sugar, alcohol, genetically modified foods (like Canola oil) and foods that are toxic to my body such as wheat and dairy. I have been following this plan for about two months. I do not starve myself but eat the foods that are ideal for me and try my hardest to avoid the "toxic" foods. I have never felt better. Not only have the majority of my digestion problems disappeared but I am starting to feel more energetic. I believe that if we avoid processed foods our bodies work they way they were supposed to. We also should have variety in our diet in order to get the nutrients our bodies need. I see no reason why you shouldn't try the Detox/Cleanse for yourself to see if you feel any difference in your body. The thing to remember is you can stop it at any time that you feel that you are not benefiting from it. Good luck.

I've done them several times and after I was finished my skin looked better I had more energy and felt better. I don't think there is any con's in cleansing all the toxins out of your body. At first the only thing I experienced was my skin broke out from all the bad stuff coming out of my bod.

i read in a book once, that the foods in today's society are so loaded with toxin that you should cleanse your body regularly. I haven't tried it but I hear that it is extremely benificial.

If you're doing like an herbal tea thing, it's very healthy, I do it daily. If it's something else you need to tell me what it is first.

this can hurt you if you don't do what it says to.
