Question:
Does anyone know of a good detox diet to start the new year off right.
GNC has something but I don't know if I want to buy all those different
herbs.
Answer:
Yes, Jet is absolutely right! Interestingly, a friend asked me to look
into buying her some detox tea last week, as she is attempting to quit
smoking, and wanted to "start fresh". The saleswoman was honest enough to
tell me that even when you drink these "amazing, detoxifying" teas, the
results only last for ONE DAY! I must admit, even I was surprised - only
ONE DAY? Really, the only people who bother with this stuff are those
who are trying to pass a drug test, and need the help
the best thing you can do for yourself is check out a book called The
McDougall Program
written by a doctor and nutritionist by the same name. For a heavy duty detox,
after quitting smoking,
a period of extreme stress, or a period of taking scripts (prescription
drugs), etc., go to the nearest
natural heath store and ask for a book called "Alkalize or Die" (I loaned my
copy to a friend only
yesterday--Drop me an E-mail if you need the author's name and I'll get it.)
It explains easy ways
to clean up your present diet and the helpful herbs that you might want to
look into. (Mary, these
books might change your mind about only "druggies" doing detox).
