Does Detoxing Work?

The truth, as always, lies most often in the middle.

Are the florid bloom of detox miracles just a bunch of biological ponzi schemes … fueled by clever marketing, a gullible populace, and the Placebo effect?

Or perhaps we really do need to flush the synthetics and chemicals that the food industries put in their products to give them the color of Day-Glo paint and the shelf life of steel-belted radials?

The research on Detoxification is still very new, and will certainly evolve over time. Some subset of the detox approaches that are out there now, will survive scrutiny. If there are ones that will turn out to be helpful, give it 10 – 20 years and they will bubble to the surface.

Unfortunately for us, we can’t tell the difference right now between those that might be real, and those that are just really useless.

One other possibility is that, maybe, the best possible detox-er for our body is our own Liver. That’s what it’s there for. It may be that, if we stop eating synthetics and other things that just are not Food, our liver will do its work quite naturally and detox our body in the process.

Time will tell.
