Master Cleanse

Question
Hi Ms. Beebe!

I am considering doing the ten (10) day Master Cleanse from http://themastercleanse.org/.  I have also read the book, "Lose Weight, Have More Energy, Be Happier in 10 Days!" by Peter Glickman.

I was wondering what your thoughts are on this?  Is this a safe cleanse? Are you familiar with it?

I am a 24 year old male 5'7, 165 lbs who is quite active.  I am not looking to lose weight but rather detoxify my body and was considering starting this cleanse later this week?  Do you have any thoughts, suggestions, or advice?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi John,

I am not aware of any safe, healthy, or effective cleanses. It's not something practiced in traditional medicine so I have no education or training on it. Western physicians will tell you, your liver, kidneys, and intestines are there to cleanse your body--no special laxative or liquid diet is necessary!
