Detox

[Nunya]

What're your favourite detox regiment? I'm looking to try something that will use up stuff I've got in the kitchen...

Thanks!

Re: Detox

I don't detox. I dont believe in it - that it's necessary I mean.

The human body does a fine enuff job detoxing itself on its own.

Similarly, I notice the past couple years as well, this new explosion in marketing for these "probiotics". Another one I don't get.

Re: Detox

Sometimes mi feel like mi system overloaded with the 'less than healthy' stuff I eat , the pollution outta door, de chemicals eena de place, second hand smoke an de res...

Sometimes mi waa jus gi mi body a good cleansing. Mi go mention dat to mi madda an she tell mi fi go tek washout

I think detoxing is good - every now and again. I once bought a kit (cyaa memba de name a it) but it made me more nauseous than anything. I did feel better when it was all over (although that could've been as a result of the nausea ending ) but the plus of it was that I'd shed about 5lbs at the end of the week...

This time around I don't want to buy a kit. I just want to use what's in the fridge. Just wondering if anyone's got any special brew/recipes/ideas...

Re: Detox


I drink some cerasee (sp) tea (I bought the tea bags at the Caribbean store); This morning I have made a cup of tea with 2 bags and left it in the fridge. Will drink this before I go to bed tonight. OR you can try citrus of magnesium (sp) lime or cherry flavor. (Drink this at night but you have got to stay home the next day). It like when we used to get senna and salt and the herb in the brown wrapper. Anyone old enough to remember semicontract tea - it smelled real bad. If you walk pass the bush and touch it you'd smell this nasty smell. Used to get this tea after summer time spent eating mangoes, pears, sweetsop, guavas, small plums and all the rest (without washing them of course).

Agree with you about the human body detoxing itself I don't think probiotics is for detoxing, is it?

On the probiotics front, I have to tell you that it does wonders for me. Last year after taking azithromycin (antibiotic) for bronchitis, I had horrendous abdominal pains, vomiting, and other symptoms, particularly after eating any red meat - including goat . Because it was a reaction that started suddenly and lasted for months, I had to get upper and lower GI barium tests . Nothing of any significance showed up and so I just resigned myself to giving up red meat. No worries there . A doctor friend suggested probiotics and now my GI tract is like I tried different brands and the one that seems to be the best for me is TruBiotics by One-A-Day. Now I can enjoy an occasional beef patty.

Yes the probiotics seem to help BB when he was having gastro problems caused by an antibiotic.

Re: Detox

Probiotics are almost a necessity over here...
they have been lifesavers for us.

As soon as you get a stomach problem here (which is quite likely to happen at some point - food, water etc - they call it Dehli belly)
the docs prescribe antibiotics and I don;t like taking so much of that stuff... probiotics have been the answer... we all try to pop one per day and it has helped especially Dani to fight the aftereffects of the antibiotics and stomach cramps etc.

I dont fast 1 day a week, it actually comes out to every 10-12 days. But i do juice these veggies (like whatever i have on hand) when i do.

Re: Detox

So for the whole day you would just sip on that? How long have you been doing that? Any side effects when you first started?
