Topic
The truth about fad cleanses.
Topic Info
With the current celebrity focus on using cleanses to "detoxify" the body of harmful agents, it can be difficult to discern trend from truth. Dr Wes Jones, GI specialist and author of CURE CONSTIPATION NOW: A DOCTOR’S FIBER THERAPY TO CLEANSE AND HEAL, joins Dr. DeSilva to help listeners understand that even though the concept of "detox" is an idea that is very real, the repeated use of popular "cleansing" remedies including the "Master Cleanse," colonics, and herbal teas/laxatives are, what Dr. Jones describes as, "the right idea, but wrong approach."
