I posted a topic about this a while ago (you can read it here), to see what people thought about it. I got some interesting input from people, including some people in the health field.

I was wondering what the people here think about those kinds of diets and whether they work, along with how safe they really are.

In my experience, water is actually the best detox. I took a short course in massage therapy, and we had to drink lots of water afterwards to wash the toxins that got squeezed out. Too much water can be dangerous though. I'm also told that warm water is good for constipation.

I've heard of different things about it, but none yet has convinced me.

As you've said in your forum post, our bodies have natural means to take care of ourselves, and as long as you eat healthy and drink water, you'll be fine. biggrin
