Body Cleanse/Detox?

Hello All...I was wondering if anybody has any proven recipes for a good internal cleansing? With all the stuff we accumulate through the years, I've been feeling sluggish and paired with exercise and a good diet, I want to do a quick detox type of thing to get the full effect.Body Cleanse/Detox?

The best product I have used is FLEET, which you can buy over the counter at any drugstore. This product is used before a colonoscopy, because it totally cleans out the colon. I could not believe, what came out of me the first time I used it. YOU WILL ONLY NEED A HALF A BOTTLE, and drink pleny of water. For the colonoscopy, I had to drink, one half a bottle, mixed with water at 4pm, then no food, then the other half at 7pm, and when you are on the toilet, and it comes out clear, what a feeling, to get rid of that build up inside. Do not make a habit of using this as it can do damage. ONCE A YEAR is plenty, and half a bottle. If you take this product, do not leave your house, as the bathroom becomes your friend for awhile, but you will feel cleaned out, and refreshed.
Lots of water and cranberry juice.
The whole urban detox myth began in Edwardian times when' in affluent society' vegetables were considered common and the diet was very high in meat and sugar,but had little fiber. severe constipation ensued and purgatives and enemas were popular to 'clean you out'.





The modern diet, if balanced, clears the colon in 24 hours, this makes the whole pointless concept no more than an embarrassment, and just goes to show what great lengths we can be conned into by the manipulators of this type of pseudo-science.
If you are looking for natural cleansing you may want to try the sacred heart medical diet. It actually is not meant as a diet and on the net many experts don't agree with it as a diet. However I asked a medical professional about it and they stated that using it for it 7 days, as it was meant to be, is more of a body cleanse. I had tried it for 7 days once and found it helpful - get ready for many bowel movements. I have poor eating habits and lost 5 lbs when I did the cleanse.


My parents on the other hand used it as a diet for longer term and combined lost 80 lbs - I didn't agree with this but it got my dad surely thinking differently about food.





I got sick of eating the soup all the time but making it chunky, stew like, helped to make it feel more like a meal.





Sacred Heart Medical Diet


This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.


SOUP:





1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes


3 plus large green onions


1 large can of beef broth (no fat)


1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)


1 bunch of celery


2 cans green beans


2 lbs. Carrots


2 Green Peppers





Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.





This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.





DRINKS:


Unsweetened juices


Tea (also herbal)


Coffee


Cranberry juice


Skim milk


Water, water, water





DAY ONE


Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.





DAY TWO


All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.





DAY THREE


Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.





DAY FOUR


Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.





DAY FIVE


Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.





DAY SIX


Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.





DAY SEVEN


Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.





By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.





This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.





Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.





The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.





Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.





DO NOT - DO NOT


No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods.





DO - DO - DO - DO


Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk.





This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.
