Actually, this is a question I get a lot so I thought I'd do some brain dumping on the matter. Oh wait… do you know what a cleanse is? In a nutshell, it's a dietary regimen that is supposed to rid your body of toxins and bad stuff. Is cleansing safe? This is a huge "maybe". You will find PUH-LEN-TY of people who will swear 42 ways to Sunday that they've done it a million times and it's totally safe. Great. They are not you.

I mean, it happened and a lot of the time, I can give benefit of the doubt that what happened wasn't intended to be hurtful; but saying you're sorry doesn't make it okay.
