Practicing physicians have dismissed the concept of mucoid plaque as a hoax and a "non-credible concept".[8] A pathologist at the University of Texas School of Medicine addressed Anderson's claims directly, saying that he has "seen several thousand intestinal biopsies and have never seen any 'mucoid plaque.' This is a complete fabrication with no anatomic basis."[1][9] Another pathologist, Edward Friedlander, has noted during his experience that he has never observed anything resembling a "toxic bowel settlement" and that some online photographs actually depict what he recognises as a blood clot.[10] Commenting on claims that waste material can adhere to the colon, Douglas Pleskow, a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, stated "That is the urban legend. In reality, most people clear their GI tract within three days."[14]
In a review of websites promoting products that claim to remove 'mucoid rope' or plaque from consumers' intestines, Howard Hochster of New York University wrote that these websites are "abundant, quasi-scientific, and unfortunately convincing to a biologically uneducated public." He noted that although such sites are entertaining, they are disturbing in that they promote a belief that has no basis in physiology.[2] Hochster also noted that a preparation marketed to remove mucoid plaque contains laxatives and bulky fibrous ingredients. Thus, the ropy residue expelled from people who consume this product "certainly is a result of the figs and senna in this preparation," rather than any sort of pathologic 'plaque'.[2] Other 'colon cleanser' products contain bentonite clay that, when ingested, would also result in production of bulky stools.[3]

Now admittedly I have no links to back this up (it didn't really interest me, big surprise) but in 9th grade where I went to school we spent a good amount of time on this in Biology and detoxes and similar things were highly recommended to a lot of the students because many were (and still are) high profile athletes... they'd go to Yale med, get the procedure done, and usually feel much better for the rest of the season. Placebo, I don't know. But I think it would be kind of hard to fake results when you're expected to play D1 football/hockey/lax/or whatever else on a daily basis... I did talk to one of my doctors about it once, semi-jokingly, but he indicated that most of the doubt was due to the fact that funding for any kind of research would be silly since anyone can do it and achieve "results", whether they're medically significant or not. So, meh. I think I'll give it a try, I'm sure it would at least buck some of my current eating habits.
- so medical or not I don't really give a shit, but I may give some mucous plaque or whatever the fuque... :Pismith

I can see the mental benefits of the cleanse thingy, but it's worse than the Jesus Camp thread in here. Some of the borderline fanaticism over "the cleanse" is almost unnerving! I mean, how the fuck did humanity get to this point without "the cleanse"??? Unless there's empirical evidence that says it's a good thing, I'll be steering well clear. I
I've recently adjusted my diet, eating lots of fresh fruit and veg, no coffee, no carbonated drinks, no deserts, no chocolate, drinking 2-3 litres of water per day, and I haven't felt better in a long time! Still not eating as well as I could but it's already made a difference.
I just can't see how starving yourself for days just so you can shit out some black goo is preferable to eating a balanced diet and exercising? Unless you're fucking lazy, that is...

Your body fixes itself if you eat good healthy food. Do some exercise every day. Absolutely stop smoking/drug taking and take it easy on the booze - a few beers aint gonna kill you. Detox will take place at a more natural pace. You'd be amazed at how much energy exercising gives you. It's common sense. You don't need books or diet gurus.

There is no such things as 'toxins'. I haven't read the rest of this thread. All I will say is that the concept of a 'detox' is meaningless. You can't make your body work any better than it does (and your body is a pretty amazingly efficient machine).
None of the detox diets ever say what the toxins you are trying to rid your body of actually are. They never mention any chemical names.Your body will rid itself of things it doesn't need all the time, your only job is to keep your body in check by eating a healthy, balanced diet and doing exercise. don't try and second guess your body. it's just stupid. All those detox diets amount to starvation which is not good for your body. simple.
