And no the process of de-toxification of the body is not a scam, a toxin is an umbrella term used to describe many things which may be TOXIC to ones self, and you can detox by sweating in a hot shower with no store bought product and not a dollar spent. And it works.

It sounds as if this is written for people who are dieting and not detoxing, there is no need to completely cut meat out of your diet while detoxing, this is not a healthy prospect especially for people who consume allot of meat.

detoxing is a scam and it is pointless. give me the chemical formula of a toxin and i will concede to you. show me SCIENTIFIC studies produced by a university and i will concede

red apples and red grapes r great detox food. remember that the skin is healthier than grape or apple itself. green tea is good too. acne is the result of toxins in the blood. if u detox ur body, acne shud reduce.

Thanks for this, I have been trying to figure out whats a good start and the right things to eat. I have been really lazy and feeling sick all the time so I cut down on all the things I should eat cause I need to feel better and healthy. =)

Thanks for the article. I've been working toward detoxing myself -- again! I've been sick on and off all winter and I know it's in part due to my lack of proper, healthy eating. I've cut out refined sugar, next will be my beloved potato chips:( I know I'll feel better though.
