If you're referring to a general detox, there are a few things you can do.
Day 1 - 2 gal of Distilled water (drink throughout the day), 8 tbsp apple cider vinegar added to ONE of the gallons of water, 8 full lemons squeezed into the other gallon of water, NO FOOD the entire day.
Day 2 - 2 gal of Distilled water prepared the same way as above, you can eat raw veggies/fruits and cooked potatoes/rice ONLY (no protein)
Day 3 - Same as day 2 (water, veggies/fruits, potatoes, rice)
Day 4 - 2 gal of water as prepared above, but now you are adding protein to your diet in the way of whey protein shakes (they MUST be 100% natural ones like Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex Natural or NOW! 100% whey natural). So basically water, veggies/fruits, potatoes, rice, and whey shakes)
Day 5 - Same as day 4
Day 6 - 2 gal of water as prepared above, however now you are re-introducing certain meats as well - maintain the same diet as day 4 and 5, but now you are adding chicken breast (preferably organic) and/or fresh fish (no canned tuna). So water, veggies/fruits, potatoes, rice, whey shakes, and chicken/fish.
Day 7 - Same as day 6.
Day 8 - Same as day 6.
Day 9 - Same as day 6.
Day 10 - Same as day 6.
Day 11 - Start drinking 2 gal of SPRING water per day, no more distilled, and no more lemons/apple cider vinegar. You will continue the same diet but now you can add lean beef (preferably organic steak/ground beef) and nuts to your diet.
Day 12 - Same as day 11
Day 13 - Same as day 11, except now you can reintroduce ALL whole and natural foods (preferably organic) into your diet. The exception is dairy, you will wait another week before touching dairy again.
Day 14 - Same as day 13.
Day 15-20 - Same as day 13.
Day 21 - You can now reintroduce dairy into your diet (preferably organic).
That should complete your detox.
The reasoning behind certain things is here:
Distilled water encourages purging of metals from your body, ACV has been shown to act as a natural antioxidant and assist in ph balancing, lemon juice is a natural antiseptic and antioxidant, organic foods lack pesticides/added hormones/steroids/or antibiotics (all of these CAN cause toxicity to some degree in humans), lastly, the reason for keeping dairy out is that a lot of humans have a problem with processing dairy completely (varying degrees of intolerance to lactose, as well as the natural hormones contained therein).
Enjoy the detox.
Theoretically couldn't a detox help with acne, and hormones or am I far off.
