Debunking Detox
“There is no need for any Detoxification”“Our intestines consist of four layers; the superficial layer is called mucosa, in which the cells of mucosa belong to labile cells, which constantly change and shed. On the average, our intestines change a layer per week. So, there’s no need for any detoxification. There can’t be any food that can stick and hold onto our intestines for long. Colons don’t need flushing unless you are prepping for a medical procedure like a colonoscopy. Colonic enemas tamper with the body’s natural fluid and electrolyte balance and can lead to infection, irregularity, and dehydration. Colon cancer is a different story, in which case I will advise my clients to go through a colonoscopy procedure. As for food intake, all foods after digestion are sent to the liver for detoxification (through blood vessels). If we do not drink too much alcohol to harm it, then the liver should work normally.”
