“I began to wonder…did I write detoxes off too soon? Do cleanses really work?”

“Full body detox!” “Cleanse your liver in 3 days!” “The diet to rid your body of toxins!”

Any of this sound familiar?

I’d always written off detoxes and cleanses as scams. In nursing school, I learned that our bodies detoxify themselves. So I figured, “Why do we need a special cleanse to rid our bodies of toxins?”

But as I stumbled across more and more articles about it and people who swore that it worked, I began to wonder…did I write detoxes off too soon? Do cleanses really work?
