While detox methods of various sorts have been popular among celebrities and holistic health enthusiasts, physicians are wary about the health implications.

Diets comprised of herbs and liquids will no doubt cause weight loss. Many of these programs contain laxatives and diuretics, not a lovely feeling for people always on the go. The question as to whether these programs can cause significant health implications is still in the air. However, physicians indicate there is no scientific basis for the theory that a detox program will clean you “of all evil” substances.

For those looking to clean the gut and increase overall health, probiotics remain a healthy, safe option.
