General over view of dietary cleanses and changes to eating habits

A general overview of detoxing, juicing, changing one's diet (inspired to post by someone's request about suggestions for a juice cleanse):
It is the break from the energy consuming processing of food that gives the body a chance to focus on cleansing: it will do it on it;s own. The juice can have but a 3 part role in it: 1) feeds the habit of putting something in our faces. 2) ease the nausea associated with toxins being dumped into the digestive system, so ginger or mint is helpful with this and 3) "scouring" the digestive system of coating of toxins the prevent proper digestion and release of toxins. Apple juice is gentlest but most do citrus such as lemon. Then it depends upon how deep a cleanse you are wanting. A dry fast following the juice will send the body's focus into the "deep waters" and cause the body to reset it's self into a more self-sustaining mode, providing the "groundwork" which would enable one to change one's diet. So, for example, after the dry fast one would go back to just juice and soups. If they wanted to go back into solids that are easy to digest so deep cleansing is no longer needed, a vegan diet would be appropriate. If they wanted to continue back into vegetarian and then meat and the need for regular fasting and cleansing again, that can be done as well.
