The Research behind Cleanses and Detoxes
Admin • Aug 31, 2023

Ways to remove toxins from your body, lose weight and/or promote health have been narrowed down to two things; Detoxes and Cleanses. Detoxes and Cleanses are a variety of diets, regimens, and therapies.

 “Detoxification” programs may involve a single process or a variety of approaches. Including: 

■ Fasting 

■ Drinking only juices or similar beverages 

■ Eating only certain foods 

■ Using dietary supplements or other commercial products

 ■ Using herbs

 ■ Cleansing the colon (lower intestinal tract) with enemas, laxatives, or colon hydrotherapy (also called “colonic irrigation” or “colonics”) 

■ Reducing environmental exposures 

■ Using a sauna

What about Safety?

■ People with diabetes should follow the eating plan recommended by their health care team. If you have diabetes, consult your health care providers before making major changes in your eating habits, such as going on a “detox” diet or changing your eating patterns. 

■ We do not recommend pregnant patients or active colon cancer patients to participate in any cleanse or detox. 

■ Diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food you eat usually don’t lead to lasting weight loss and may not provide all the nutrients you need. 

■ Colon cleansing procedures may have side effects, some of which can be serious. Harmful effects are more likely in people with a history of gastrointestinal disease, colon surgery, severe hemorrhoids, kidney disease, or heart disease.
