Urban Homemaker Chlorine Water Filter GIVEAWAY –... →
this does relate to liver detox. chlorine is a chemical; it has the potential to cause toxicity within our bodies and liver. it is a member of the bromine family of chemicals. bromines are ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS. aside from doing damage to thyroid function, chlorine really scares the shit out of me because it causes an imbalance in flora. our skin, mucous membranes, intestines… they all...

an article. aside from the scary title and the confusing wording, i think there’s a good moral here: detoxification is real and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. also, toxins that are stored in the body (trapped in fat cells or causing stagnation in the liver) are also very real. overall, good message. however, if you can decipher what the hell the author is actually saying in the first...

day 2 wrap-up
yesterday, day 2 went like this: pee + poop + some more pee, and then a whole hell of alot more pee during the night. i could be verging on TMI, but what the hell — it’s the truth. and because i already pee obscene amounts everyday even without a detox program (or without, perhaps, unwittingly ingesting extra amounts of water to help with the cleanse), i am well aware that my body is...

day 1 wrap-up
i certainly didn’t expect any life-changing results after one day, but i will say there were a few noticeable changes, if only minor.
