Are detoxification programs safe?
For most people, the answer is definitely yes. However, pregnant or nursing women should not use any detoxification programs—even those that are specifically designed to be extremely gentle. And it’s best to not detox more than four times in one year, unless directed by your healthcare practitioner. If you develop cramping or diarrhea simply reduce the dose of the intestinal cleanser. And if these problems persist, are painful, or are disruptive you should discontinue its use. It’s also very important to drink at least 64 ounces of bottled or filtered water every day while on the detoxification program. Try drinking the water on the rocks or with a twist of lemon.
