You can’t detox your body. It’s a myth. So how do you get healthy?
If toxins did build up in a way your
body couldn’t excrete, he (Edzard Ernst)
says, you’d likely be dead or in need of serious medical intervention. “The
healthy body has kidneys, a liver, skin, even lungs that are detoxifying as we
speak,” he says. “There is no known way – certainly not through detox
treatments – to make something that works perfectly well in a healthy body work
better.”
Much of the sales patter
revolves around “toxins”: poisonous substances that you ingest or inhale. But
it’s not clear exactly what these toxins are. If they were named they could be
measured before and after treatment to test effectiveness.
Note: Edzard Ernst is an emeritus professor of complementary medicine at Exeter University.
