Herbal detoxification. The most ambitious of the cleansing programs reviewed here, herbal detoxification begins as a modified juice fast, in which breakfast is replaced with fresh raw juice, while lunch and dinner are as described in the pre-cleanse phase. In addition to the herbal teas described on page 16, this program uses the following herbs in capsules. Check product labels for similar formulas, or make your own (see pages 6263 for information on filling capsules). Do not use cleansing products that combine clay and fiber with herbs or acidophilus, as these key ingredients should be taken separately.
