Assistant: Cleanses are very popular today and can seem appealing.  However, cleanses are not recommended for those concerned with their health, and even more so for people with chronic health conditions.  There is evidence that cleanses can be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions, and detox cleanses can put people at risk of serious complications.  For these reasons, you should not do a detox cleanse.  Alternatives to cleanses that carry just as much potential risks include weight loss diets and elimination diets, but again, it's very important that you only undertake these with medical supervision.
