couldn't resist replying to this topic...as medical professional i have never seen any studies suggesting any benefit to cleanses. please don't confuse this with anti-alternative medicine bias. in my way of thinking, all a cleanse would do is disrupt your natural bowel bacterial make-up and cause unhealthy weight loss (usually suggested 1 pound weight loss/week). a more healthy way of cleansing is eating a healthy diet, exercising daily, not smoking and drinking in moderation (7-10 drinks/week for women and 10-14 drinks/week for men).
