Flu season has begun in Maryland as of last week. This means no one should be cleansing now. Cleanses are supposed to be done in preparation for the fall and spring flu season but not during them. When you are detoxifying, your liver and kidneys are working overtime to eliminate the stored toxins from your body. The work you require from these organs during a cleanse should be done in time to rejuvenate and build the immune system before flu season hits. If you are currently cleansing without the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner, I strongly suggest that you stop. It's time to focus on building and supporting the immune system!
