Selenium is great for getting toxins out of the body. Many people have toxins and heavy metals stored in their body tissue. What are other ways to cleanse the body?

turmeric is one that the doc has me on, tastes nasty (unless you get the pills, which are expensive), but works pretty well.

Yes, I've heard that turmeric is great for cleansing the body. If you don't want to spend all that money on the pills -- I recommend cooking with turmeric. Turmeric is a very common spice in Indian dishes. Often, it's used with curry and Garam Masala spices. However, not everyone can handle such spicy foods. Mixing Turmeric with rice and vegetables -- or something similar -- would do the trick. When you cook Turmeric with food it doesn't really have a noticeable taste. Whereas, I'm guessing it's probably bitter on its own.

Water is still the best and fibrous fruits like pineapple and papaya. Prune juice and apple juice can also help a lot. toxins will get out of the body through urine and sweat.

I agree that water is the best -- that is filtered water, of course. Unfortunately, there are still many places that have to deal with toxins in their water.

I got a few natural books on healing and cleansing. They recommended drinking water with a little vinegar in the morning, first thing. They also recommended drinking a lot of water during the day, and no other liquids. And of course eating healthier... The water in the morning with vinegar or lemon juice seems to help me feel better. I've heard any type of those 'colonic' medications are bad for you because they also remove the 'good bacteria's'. Drink lots of water, water is the only substance that passes through every cell in your body and is processed through the most efficient filter on the planet.
