What are the dangers in cleanzing?

As with all things in life, there can be a down-side to cleanzing.

1. If you are pregnant or have any disease, please consult a physician before undergoing any cleanse.

2. There is always a possibility that someone can be allergic to a food that is in the iZO Cleanze, so make sure you read the program guide which lists all the ingredients. All ingredients are vegan, organic, raw, and gluten-free, but occasionally there is someone that is allergic to something like cayenne pepper.

3. If the bowels are not kept moving regularly with a healthy laxative, there is the danger of autointoxication, or self-poisoning. Often times this happens from a clogged intestinal tract. But when a person is cleanzing, they are kicking up all the toxins, many of which have been dormant for some time. Without the aid of solid food and precious coffee to stimulate peristalsis, it can be challenging to have proper bowel movements needed to eliminate the toxins that are being drawn out by the cleanse. If the toxins are not eliminated through bowel movements, they will merely get re-absorbed into the blood stream. To combat this, make sure you take your laxative, and get a colonic!

4. Finally, there’s a condition we have dubbed Macrobulimia, where the person caught in the throes of this condition experience the phenomenon of binging and purging much like bulimia, except on a long term basis. This can be in the course of a day, or it can be over the course of a longer period of time, extending as long as months at a time for each cycle to occur. Essentially, the person starts to abuse the cleanze by using it as a license and excuse to eat poorly when they’re not cleanzing. The idea is that ‘I can eat and drink all I want and it’ll all be good because I’m going on the cleanse next week.” Then the next week after you cleanse, you binge it all back on, perhaps in the name of celebration for having done the cleanze. It can turn into a vicious cycle of up and down which can be rather harsh on the body’s constitution. If you find yourself abusing the cleanze in such a way, immediately stop the cleanze and begin to eat healthy foods until you are able to use the cleanse as it is designed to be used.
