Cleansed: Exposing the Lies and Dangers of the Cleansing Fad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518666490)

Is Your Colon Really in Need of Cleansing?

Coffee enemas and green smoothies. Colonics and laxatives. All the so-called "cleanses" that are out there today are meant to make you healthy, clean, and pure...but do they actually work? Can you really expel gallstones by drinking olive oil and citrus juice? Should you be consuming Epsom salts? No one seems to be asking if we should be doing these cleanses in the first place, though...until now. Author Joey Lott lays it all on the line with his latest book, Cleansed. He digs into the most popular cleanses today, sharing tales of his own experience, that of his clients, and the results of his extensive research on the subject.

A Better Way Than Eight Glasses a Day

What happens to your cells when you drink too much water? Shouldn't you be eating as much fiber as possible? Are you really burning fat with all that cardio? You may think that more is better when it comes to fiber, water, and exercise, but Cleansed will reveal the truth behind the hype being dished out today by leading health experts...including the 8-glasses a day rule. Discover the healthy way to cleanse that doesn't involve excessive exercise, deprivation, pills, or magic. Work with your body's wisdom and be amazed by the results instead of jumping from cleanse to cleanse and only feeling worse.

Coffee Enema? Or is Coffee Best Taken Orally?

Did you know that a shot of espresso might be just as effective--and a heck of a lot more enjoyable--than a coffee enema? The author explains the science (and lack thereof) behind this and many other popular cleansing techniques. Get answers to your most burning questions, including what "mucoid plaque" is actually made of. A brief discussion of anatomy blows apart many of the dubious claims made by the marketers of these cleanses and gets readers in touch with the wisdom of their own body, which turns out to have its own innate mechanisms for cleansing.

Ultimately, cleansing doesn't need to be extreme. Find out the best way to support your body's natural detoxification processes by reading this book.
