It is not safe. The body is self cleansing. Our liver and kidneys do the job very efficiectly. Eat sensibly, we don’t need to purge ourselves so called ‘clean’

Glickman’s book sends an alarming but unsubstantiated message. He claims that our food is full of toxic material and when consumed, the toxins are stored in the fat cells within our body, making us obese. Unfortunately for Glickman, this claim cannot be backed by reliable scientific data.
Frequent liquid bowel movements can result from a shortage of nutrients such as zinc, protein, vitamin A and B, which help build the intestinal lining. Excessive diarrhea can lead to dehydration, abdominal pain and electrolyte loss.. Symptoms of an electrolyte imbalance include fatigue, cardiac arrhythmia and nausea.
Catherine Collins, chief dietician at St George’s Hospital in southwest London, said she saw dozens of patients suffering side-effects ranging from bowel problems to potassium depletion. “There is a fixation with the notion that we can detoxify the body through what we eat and drink, but the whole idea has no scientific basis,” said Dr Collins.
