In 26 years of my practice, Essential Healthcare, I have unfortunately seen too many individuals decide to 'fast ' without first becoming very well informed. Some manage okay with a FAST cleansing. Many don't. It has been very dangerous and even life threatening for some.
And if people simply learned a little bit about detoxing, and the important considerations,
toxin storage in fat,
ways that many 'fasts' shove impossible to manage toxins from storage in to the organs
that were unable to break it down the first time round... so stored it...
they really would look more toward less dramatic, exciting, on-and-off forms of cleansing.
If you research, consider how our bodies function-and how complex human made toxins ARE,
and then listen carefully to your body , you can tell the difference between the risky fasts and the intelligent cover-the-bases-to-support-safe-cleansing .
Which is incremental and wise and most of all, safe.

"I am personally concerned about people who advocate strict fasting as a form of detoxification.
Detoxification has many benefits. However, for the purposes of detoxifying, lack of nutrients may be problematic.
As the body begins to detoxify, it releases toxins that have been stored in fat cells for many years.
As these toxins are released they must be processed by the liver and kidneys.
This requires a host of antioxidant nutrients and a very active liver detoxification system (which is heavily nutrient dependent).
Purging your fat stores of toxins can result in reexposure and toxic damage if your nutrient status is not optimum. Average levels will not suffice in a detoxification program. The levels must be higher than normal.".
