This is the first example of detoxifying your body might actually be real.

Detoxification/cleansing has always been real, in the alternative and conventional/allopathic medical worlds. I don't know any school of thought that denies the benefits of cleansing (within reason); only those who disagree on how to go about it.

  The problem is the best thing to detoxify is your bodies organs and healthy function of them should be priority numero uno. I think fad diets are the terrority where it gets a bit unreasonable (juice cleanses?). Chakra/Qi cleanses?

  Most Detoxing your hear about (and all from “alternative” (read: fake) medicine) is a marketing strategy for treating nonexistent conditions. Body acidity is a myth, cleaning organs like the kidney or liver is a myth, and all the detox treatments peddled have never been shown to actually remove any toxins from a human.

  Detoxification is not any part of “conventional medicine”, or, to give it appropriate weight “medicine”. It’s also not part of any “school of thought” that isn’t crackpot garbage (so called “alternative medicine”)

    You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Detoxing occurs in medical settings every single day, in every hospital, in almost every clinic. Example: people overdose on Tylenol, and we may have to give them NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) to boost their depleted glutathione levels and get rid of the toxins. Another example: people ingest a poison, and sometimes it's appropriate to make them drink activated charcoal so it can bind the toxins. These types of "Detoxes" are also common (but over-used) in the alternative world. Another example: with some infections, you can't give too many antibiotics at once or it will overload the body's detox capacity, so things are done to help. Another example: 9/11 workers who were exposed to massive amounts of toxins from burning building materials afterwards suffered from that exposure. Conventional medical doctors came up with detox protocols including the use of Far Infrared Saunas to help decrease the toxin load in their bodies.

This is the first example of detoxifying your body might actually be real.
