    David, I grew up in the organic and health food world before it was "cool." My mother was very active in the movement from the 70's well into the 2000's. I'm glad you covered a topic like this because nearly every cleanse or detox I see around today is just a rebranding of all the ones from the 80's and 90's that my mom fought so hard against. Peddlers would come into her stores and hang out in her circles trying to sell this non-sense all the time. I inherited her skepticism and it has always annoyed me that so many people are susceptible to these scams. I wish the US had stronger Consumer Protection laws, because all of these scams add up to billions of dollars being thrown away by the lower and middle classes.

  • @klausm5460
    @klausm5460 6 лет назад

    Thank you. One small addition, some people believe, it would be a good idea to use a budget "detox" method by drinking extreme amounts of water. That can also be harmful by messing up your blood electrolytes, that are essential for heart, muscle, nerve and general cell functions. Under normal circumstances 2 litres of water per day are enough for your kindeys to get rid of all the unwanted substances, that actually can be removed through that pathway.

  • @mattywoo
    @mattywoo 6 лет назад +1

    Great vid. One slightly misleading statement though. David states that a diet of only fruits and vegetables can be protein deficient. The truth is that this is almost impossible. Essentially, if you're eating enough calories, you're eating enough protein. If you think otherwise, find a protein intake calculator and do the math yourself. You may be surprised.
    That said, you could argue that the statement isn't untrue, just misleading. Granted. A diet of only fruits and vegetables CAN be protein deficient, but if that's the case, then it's also calorie deficient, almost certainly. But if that's the case, the issue isn't protein, it's that you're not eating enough food, period.

      Its scientifically factual that calorically adequate intakes of fruits and vegetables have an adequate amount of protien.
      All these deficiencies that he points out about fruits and veggies (essentially a raw vegan diet) are false, deficiencies are rare in a properly planned evidence based raw fruit and veggie diet.
      You can, infact, "flush out toxins through purfuse sweating", not necessarily because of the sweating but because perfuse sweating moves tge lymphatic systems(which cleans your body).

Apparently this law declared vitamins, minerals, and even herbal "remedies" to be dietary supplements thus removing them from FDA oversight. However, Senator Hatch is most definitely not "liberal."

    unfortunately its not as simple as david makes it here. The detox stuff is bogus for sure. But unfortunately in the U.S. at least always listening to your doctor is a recipe for disaster. You might get lucky and get a doctor who legitimately cares about your health and gives reasonable and well researched advice. You might just as easily get some pill jockey who doesnt give a shit about you or your problems and just wants to end the appointment as quickly as possible giving you whatever fuckin advice or medicine. The competency of the docotors ive had experience with WIDELY varies. So actually i think its best NOT to just trust your doctor. Unfortunately here in america where only money matters YOU must be the expert. Do all the research you can and when your doctor tells you something research that too. This system will not care about you so unfortunately you must care about yourself

    jeana (BFvsGF) did a science based detox and she had to get her blood taken and everything
    the juice detox is proven to be horrible for peoples but can help if you do it for 2 days because you want your body to heal from something and you dont want to screw it up with solid foods (but that is in very rare cases and something like caterpillars clawing the inside of your body)
    but the healing is from the first detox you did to get rid of the moth/caterpillars in your body in the first place
    also you have to stay away from limes lemons grapefruit and oranges because of the citric acid it will reopen the cuts and make you piss blood

      if you end up pissing blood from caterpillars scratching at your body like I did and all your body wants is frozen stuff fruit/veggie smoothies for 2 days straight is the best thing to do

      moths are parasites and if they are in your body they have threads and will sew off the ability to poop and colonoscopies are needed to break them
      if you do the home remedy and that involves coconut oil apple cider vinegar and garlic its complicated on the days you take each one but to give you the basics
      that treatment will kill the moths/caterpillars but if you cant poop that will kill you and you have to get rid of the threads so having a colonic makes it only 50 dollars to do so and somebody from TYT who had these parasites did that
      he didnt know he had to still get his stomach pumped and i was in his situation and got very lucky that the home remedy was found out about one more week and i would have been dead (a slow and painful death but dead with in several months)
