Some medical experts claim that detox programs and the products associated with them are merely marketing gimmicks. The Chief Dietician of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London, England, Dr Catherine Collins, says “The concept of ‘detox’ is a marketing myth rather than a physiological entity.” There are many people who do not make their living from selling detox programs and products who would disagree with the learned doctor. These are people who engage in detox programs and are convinced they can feel the difference. Dr Collins continues by saying, “the idea that an avalanche of vitamins, minerals, and laxatives taken over a 2 to 7 day period can have a long-lasting benefit for the body is also…
