there are many books on the subject. There are many
toxins, mostly inside cells that have not been able to dump
their waste products (metabolites) to the blood and lymph
because those were already laden with nutrients and various
debris.

You should not take anyones word for any of this.. you
should read broadly ... in my case its 30 years of reading and
fasting sometimes for 10 days at a time...then you learn.

it can also be screwed up badly.

self eduction is what you require as we all do.

Barry,

I'd guess and say the toxins they are referring to are from our
sometimes toxic environment -- auto and factory emissions, lawn
herbicides, garden pesticides and just the toxins that build up in our
homes from many building materials.

Fasting won't get rid of these toxins. Fasting for 2-7 days would only
make you more susceptible to them.

If you want to reduce toxins in your body, your best bet would be to
eat lots of organic produce and let their natural antioxidants and
phytochemicals do their thing.
