I probably sound really paranoid but I am wondering if I might have worms or some sort of parasites in my body. I have read a few things online about people detoxing and cleansing their bodies and finding lots of worm-like things in the toilet during the process. It seems to be really a common thing.
I eat a fair amount of meat, including beef, which is suppose to have a lot of the parasitic eggs in it. I have never found worms in my stool or anything but I guess that doesn't mean much.
So, I thought I might do a cleansing process on my body too just for good measure. I've never done a body cleanse though. Has anyone done a cleanse and can tell me more about it and how to do one? I'm really interested and will do whatever I need to so my body is healthy...

Smartone answered Saturday September 12 2009, 7:58 pm: I've never done a body cleanse where I had to order anything, but I have fasted and I do know people who have fasted. It is, basically, the same thing. You gradually slow down your intake of food, but not liquids (except dairy), until you are no longer eating solids. This should take a week or two. That is the way to cleanse your body and rest it as well. There are many types of fasts. Some are liquid, where you take in broth and juices and some abstain from everything but water.
You should take to your doctor first. Let him know what your want to do and ask for his advice. Some doctors don't approve of fasting and some do. I never sought my doctors advice, I just did it and saw a big difference in my body and mind. You can actually think clearer. At first you'll experience brain fog, but after a few days that goes away and even your vision seems to improve. [ Smartone's advice column | Ask Smartone A Question ]

You don't want to use any cleansing medicine that could harm your body since you're not sure about the inestinal parasites. [ MsBookgirl's advice column | Ask MsBookgirl A Question ]
