Is a parasite cleanse necessary? Is a ';detox'; and ';organic only'; a scam?

So I was doing some online research and was very close to purchasing a colon cleanse kit. However, I found a lot of information stating that a healthy diet and lots of fiber is all humans need to get the movements going as the colon is a self-cleansing organ AND that colon cleansing can flush out the beneficial bacteria and cause dehydration. So I've opted to up the fiber and drink more water. I go at least twice a day, so I don't think I have a problem. I will leave my colon alone and continue to take probiotics.





My first question is this: Should I do a parasite cleanse? I haven't tested positive for parasites, but I read that you can have parasites and not know it and that a parasite cleanse should be done once a year. I read that humans can pick up parasites just about anywhere, so is a yearly parasite cleanse necessary for maintenace/prevention?





As for the second question: Is a detox really necessary, or should a drastic change in diet and supplements do the trick? I saw a nutritionist who wants me to go totally organic with fruits and meats (I agree with the meats), but I can't afford totally organic with produce as my budget doesn't allow for it. Plus,I live in LA and am exposed to toxic air every day. The whole ';detox'; and ';organic only'; craze has me confused. If I thorougly wash my conventionally grown fruits and veggies, is that good enough to was away pesticides, bacteria, and parasites?Is a parasite cleanse necessary?

Here's my advice- if its not broke, don't fix it.





Unless a Doctor specifically tells you there is something wrong with you and you should do something about it then there is no cause for concern.Is a parasite cleanse necessary? Is a ';detox'; and ';organic only'; a scam?
Agree with Blackwell754 100%





1) Never do a parasite cleanse unless you have parasites.


2) Anything labeled ';detox'; or ';organic'; is a scam.





No one wants to accept the boring truth that the body takes care of itself. If you are sick, that's a different story, but you aren't, so don't mess with it.
