I'm still somewhat flabbergasted at the lack of education regarding this issue. What people fail to realize is the number one item required to "detox" or "cleanse" our bodies. That number one item is "WATER". Water is a purifier for the body. When the liver has enough water it is capable of performing it's proper function of cleaning and detoxing. The liver is the main organ which does the detoxifying as well as the digestive system. Detoxing kits and colon cleaning kits are all gimmicks. Drink plenty of water and your body will naturally perform those duties, along with other benefits for hair, skin, eyes, etc. Water is essential to our well being.

You may have heard there are toxins in everything, but I bet the people you hear it from can't name them. It's a myth used to keep people buying useless de-tox kits & diets. That everyone has heard this story shows how successful these charlatans are at de-frauding the public.
Take alcohol as an example. Too much is toxic and can kill. Once the alcohol enters your system, there is nothing that will get the alcohol out of your system faster.
The body works at it's own speed to clear unwanted material. No de-tox system, diet or other method is going to change that. The natural way is to simply do nothing. Let your body do the work it was going to do anyway.

there arent toxins in your body... and just a heads up because i know somebody will suggest it, spending $40 on a colon cleansing detox kit wouldnt get them out even if they were. so do yourself a favor and dont give yourself the shits for nothing
and drinking water wouldnt get any "toxins" out all that well either. if the "toxin" is water soluble, your kidney would probably have it filtered out within a couple days at most. if it is fat soluble, it would take longer and drinking more water wouldnt speed up the process. but i guess drinking more water isnt going to hurt you, and most people dont drink enough anyway so do it if you wnat

A colonic. The first time I had one, I was so embarrassed, but after you have one, its not a big deal; I feel like a million bucks after I get one. It helps clean the colon as well as the liver. If you have a good practitioner, she will also help you create an eating plan. A good practioner will generally be cross trained in many holistic areas.
Also, plenty of water, like everyone else said. Drinking warm lemon juice in the morning.
If you want to do this, find someone who is good, there are a lot of bad ones out there. If you are in NYC, I have the best woman to recommend.
Good luck.

GNC sells system cleanser that works really well.
If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, you should shop there. Any food with a Trader Joes label is great. They contain no preservatives or artificial anything. The food is great and pretty inexpensive.
Pomegranate, cranberry, and blueberry juice is also good. They are full of antioxidants.

You should drink a lot of WATER!!!
