I'm doing a cleanse this w/e. I've done one before and felt surprisingly good afterwards. This one is apples and carrots (and apple and carrot juice). The only wretched part is the morning starts off with 16oz of prune juice. ewwwwww Is there anyway to make that taste better!?!
What kind of cleanses have you done or do you know about?

I've never done one....but I'd like to. I have tried to do one before that involved a fibre-type drink. It was so awful that I couldn't go through with it.
What about fasting? Does it effectively do the same thing as a cleanse?

This is my first post ever, but I've been reading on this site for several years, so here goes...
I've done two cleanses so far, which are listed in my signature (if I did it right). One was kidney and the other liver, to clean out the elimination systems. I also did bowel cleanses before the kidney and during the liver. It's important to me to use organic tinctures during the cleanses and they're hard to find, so I got all my stuff through the American Botanical Pharmacy because they only use organic and wildcrafted herbs.
After the cleanses I felt great, my skin looked AMAZING! The cleanse seemed to lift impurities out of my skin, so I imagine that it was doing the same thing for my insides as well. I ovulated for the first time in my life (that I know of) after doing the kidney cleanse, I think it had something to do with the cleanse also working on the adrenal gland. I ran out of herbal formula halfway through my liver cleanse, so I don't think it was quite as thorough and I didn't O, plus I wasn't exercising then either.
I plan on rotating between the liver and kidney cleanses and doing them seasonally (4 times per year). I feel so CLEAN (for lack of a better word) after I do them and it's helped me quit smoking, because I don't want to put all those nasty chemicals back in my body after I try so hard to purge them.

...but I've heard that some of the fasting liquid diets ( like the "24hr Diet" or "Hollywood" diet) that you see in places like Walgreen's are actually cleanse blends.
I myself have never done one/them, but I have checked out the ingredients listed and they look like they fit the requirements...carrot, prune and misc. veggie juices, vitamins and such.
I'm not hawking the stuff, just wanted to give some input in case it helps someone.

I'm not trying to lose weight from the cleanse, jsut trying to clean out my system. I am taking "Cleansesmart" right now- a 30 day supplement thing and trying to improve my diet as well. We shall see...

Have you ever done a "cleanse"?
