Question by Greg V: What would happen to me? Hypothetical Detox Question….?
So I have a question, A friend of mine’s girlfriend does this thing that she calls her “detox” regimen. All she does is drink ALOT of water or a month. No food, no pot, no drugs, no nothing. Only water. First of all, what are the long term effects of what she’s doing to herself, and what would happen if I did the same thing but Took a one a day vitamin, and drank cranberry juice and water for a month?

Best answer:

Answer by Gary Y
Only water for a month? I don’t believe it. She’s sneaking food.

You can’t ‘detox’ anyway – thats an alt med scam/fad with no basis in reality. ‘Detox’ has no meaning outside of the clinical treatment of drug addiction or poisoning.
