The body is perfectly capable of cleansing itself. It has natural systems in place that will begin to correct problems that it encounters such as daily, natural toxins that you and I may either ingest or be exposed to. For example, Cascara Sagrada, an herb that causes diarrhea, just one reason why she cautions that cleansing products may not help the body at all, but in fact harm it. You don't want to alter this system whatsoever because when you do, you impede the body's ability to heal itself. The natural cleanser Peeke recommends is water, as does nutritional counselor Patricia Fitzgerald.
Water is such a basic, basic solvent that is required for every detoxification process in the body.
But many don't think it is enough. The question is whether heading off the toxins of modern life and restoring the body to its natural state really requires something from a bottle. Lemon is essential to this drink. Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C, which is essential to all matters of detoxification. It contains 6,500 milligrams of citric acid, which improves the flow of bile.
