- h0ser, on 01/05/2009, -4/+32There are ways to naturally detox. Drink lots of water, eat lots of fiber and SWEAT! SWEAT like a pig at least once a day.
- MokaPot, on 01/05/2009, -2/+20it's called Placebo Effect.
- jonxblaze, on 01/05/2009, -3/+17They will for sure detox your wallet!
- elliotys, on 01/06/2009, -1/+14Actually if you improved your liver function you would get less effect from caffeine, and especially the alcohol. Sounds like what you did ***** your liver up.
- silent128, on 01/06/2009, -0/+11SHOCKER!!!!!
- Bukowsky, on 01/05/2009, -7/+16I personally don't think that detox foot pads work. Some do, some don't.
However, I did a "liver gallbladder cleanse" a couple of months ago, and I do feel that it made a difference. Afterwards, I would get drunk faster when drinking alcohol and get a caffeine-buzz quicker when drinking coffee... Not to mention I could physically see a difference. {nuff said} ..... But a quick google search will tell you that's a big scam too. - Zalian, on 01/05/2009, -4/+13Glad I can save a few bucks by not buying those things anymore.
- Murdats, on 01/06/2009, -0/+7all it sounds like is by stopping drinking alcohol and caffeine while on your detox your tolerance was lowered to a level not produced by years of consuming those substances.
- Ecochick, on 01/05/2009, -5/+12 Herbs have a very long and reputable history as liver/kidney cleansers especially. I think lumping them in with spuriously advertised shampoos and food pads isn't really fair- people have been using herbs as medicines for hundreds and maybe even thousands of years whereas commercial products are a whole other category.
- BrettFromTibet, on 01/05/2009, -2/+8Your body goes into natural "Detox" mode whenever you fast and drink lots of fluids... it's a fact.
Whether any special herbs or commercial products really help much is debatable. - Renian, on 01/06/2009, -0/+6I'll um...I'll pick it up later.
- MorganMghee, on 01/06/2009, -0/+6to a huge extent. while viewing brain activity, people were subjected to pain. then they were given a placebo and told it was a pain killer and that it should dramatically reduce the pain. both the brain activity images and the people themselves said the pain was in fact reduced.
- Fuxienz, on 01/06/2009, -2/+7This isn't news guys :)
- stonebear, on 01/06/2009, -0/+5"I saw well over 200 "green stones" floating in a toilet. Of course, I didn't count them... it's just an estimate, but they were there. Where would they have come from?"
I was researching the kind of cleanse you seem to have used several months ago, with an eye towards trying it. I ran across several accounts of the cleanse being duplicated in a lab, and the interaction of gastric juices with the cleanse forming the green stones. If you took one of yours and had it analyzed by a lab, you would likely find it made of something other than the cholesterol real gallstones are made of.
People swear by the coffee enema, and it seems not to have been debunked. I have not had the nerve though. - dhoneywell, on 01/06/2009, -2/+7Two reasons why researching this is a waste of time:
1) The result is obvious to anyone with half a brain.
2) Idiots who buy this kind of crap lack the level skepticism necessary to stop buying more of it, even if you explain to them quite plainly how they've been suckered in. - vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -2/+6Well, I did pass a Labcorp drug test using a some sort of super detox product, and considering how much I smoked, I was pleasantly surprised to pass.
- haikuFU, on 01/06/2009, -1/+5"Detox" products in relation to drug testing are not a scam. They do actually work.
"Detox" products in relation to some unknown toxins in the body... no workie. What the ***** are you trying to get rid of? The ***** that's going to kill you is bioaccumulative anyway, so the detox crap isn't going to help you there. Drink some ***** water and get your kidneys going. That's your ***** detox right there.
You need some help taking a poo? I've got something that will loosen up that butt much better than paying hundred of dollars on some crazy pills. - Murdats, on 01/06/2009, -2/+6and then suffer from salt deficiency
- Chainheart2, on 01/06/2009, -1/+5The placebo effect is wonderful, isn't it? Although it would be wonderful if it were simply a collection of gunk causing your sleeping troubles...
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -2/+6funny how everyone on digg screams "bad science!" for anything they don't like and when some vague article about something they agree on comes they all scream "so obvious!"
i mean seriously...we found that the claims are inconsistent and uh..stuff. wow nice evidence. - algaeturd, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4Your dirty ass foot.
- JoeMerchant, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4Wouldn't you need more (not less) booze and coffee to get high if your liver was working better?
- Renian, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4And by "something", I assume you mean your penis?
- haikuFU, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3You dropped something.
- alanocu, on 01/05/2009, -4/+7Celebs will always need detox to get back into their skinny jeans.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's detox miracle cures have been featured on E!, CNN, Entertainment Tonight, In Style mag, People, Vogue, USA Today, and the NY Times.
The best part is that through colonics and the We Care Institute's 8-day package, they lost 6 pounds, most of which came from their colons. - elliotys, on 01/06/2009, -1/+4duh.
- Rivetgeek, on 01/06/2009, -1/+4You know what comes out when you sweat? Sweat.
Water, salt: Sweat.
You don't "sweat out" toxins. Skin doesn't work that way. - tas08, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Umm.... good to know?
- fr0ng, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3People really needed researchers to tell them this?
- mmittimm, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3Read the article buddy. Wrong type of detox product.
- silent128, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2shhhhhh rivetgeek no one wants ur logic.
- tas08, on 01/06/2009, -2/+4Haha, and what idiots is this news to?
- inphu510n, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Seriously, what's to say that whatever is in those foot pads isn't just reacting to oxygen in the air and moisture on your feet?
- nydwarf, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1What does "detox" mean anyways?? The word itself intimates that your are trying to remove toxins from your body. What toxins? And don't your kidneys do this for you already? If it didn't wouldn't you be dead?
- h0ser, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Fine, sweat like a fat guy walking up a a flight of stairs in Las Vegas with no air conditioning.
- jgubbe, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Read the comments "BUDDY!" just informing the masses who where already headed to this topic.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1I don't know how many brain cells your drinking has destroyed to actually make you think getting drunk and caffeine-buzzed easier is a sign of a healthier liver, but it must have been a lot.
In advanced liver disease, caffeine can linger in the body for an incredibly long time, as well as alcohol. Hardcore alcoholics who are going through liver cirrhosis get drunk longer and off of less, because the liver's not getting rid of the alcohol fast enough. Either you messed up your liver, or you're just making crap up/having a placebo effect, and I sure as hell hope it's the latter, because you're going to be in deep ***** when you find out you messed up your liver.
Though I also suspect the detox may have required you to abstain from both substances during it, and may have even resulted in some weight loss, so as a result, when you started both substances again, the effects would be stronger due to having no tolerance to either, and less body-mass, if you lost weight, for the alcohol to interact with. If this is the case, you can be rest assured, you're safe and healthy, but pretty god damn stupid to think you needed a detox to do this. - wbeavis, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Sweat like a pig, huh? Pigs have no sweat glands. That is why they wallow in mud, to control temperature. So "sweat like a pig" actually means the opposite from what you intend.
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Fasting on apples works better.
- Myztry, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1IPECAC Syrup will detoxify your stomach - all over the place.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt4rUpM19YU - je12u, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Glad I never bought them in the first place and decided to workout and drink lots of water / anti-oxidants instead.
- Matri, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1I call her "mom" :(
- Backstab, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1big pharma companies are one of the main pushers of alt meds/herbs/etc
- Backstab, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Isn't that the story of Scientology?
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1I detox once a day, usually in the morning. Or twice if I have fajitas for dinner.
- EnergyEinstein, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Hot yoga. :)
- jftitan, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1and by colons you mean mouth right?
- conkers209, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2Wait, you mean some fake product that does nothing is a waste of money? Glad I didn't buy into this crap.
- wheresjim, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2Those footpads are the best - every time I see the commercial I think to myself: "You know there were 2 guys in a bar betting they could get millions of stupid people to sleep with Kotex mini-pads on their feet"
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1What's an ass foot and where can I get one?
