Elephant no longer chasing dragon
I'm not sure many human heroin addicts can claim to have become addicted after force fed a diet of heroin laced bananas, but this is good news. If you know of any heroin addicts, show them this story and say, "There, see, an ELEPHANT can do it by detoxing!"

Is detox safe?
Whether it's in an effort to cleanse the body of toxins, or shed a few inches from the waistline, many people put themselves on detox diets and cleanses. But recent reports put the effectiveness and safety of these diets into question, and warn of some seriously damaging effects (like permanent brain damage from extended periods of electrolyte imbalance.) This is an interesting article about the effects of certain cleanses and what you should consider before taking them on.
I'm of the impression that if you feel the need to cleanse your body, then by all means, do it. But do it safely. I think that many people don't take enough time to investigate how specific cleanses will effect them, or they cut corners or make more restrictions than are necessary to increase the desired effect. Whether it's in an effort to cleanse the body of toxins, or shed a few inches from the waistline, many people put themselves on d... more -

Bishop Lamont Speaks On Detox and Eve
As the buzz for Bishop Lamont’s newest single “Grow Up” spreads to newer outlets, so does Lamont. In a recent interview on the Wendy Williams Experience radio show, Lamont talked about Detox as well as Eve’s quiet fallout with Aftermath and Dr. Dre.
Being somewhat of a spokesman for Dre’s Detox album, Lamont provided a current yet quick report on the project that has put Dre in a mental stalemate. “It’s not done, we about 50% in. You gotta realize with dude, [it’s been] 22 years, and dude is like ‘it’s gotta be the best it can be.’ He’s under pressure, the worst pressure. The worst scrutiny is coming from his own mind, his own ears.”

Woman wins £800,000 after detox diet causes brain damage
A 52-year-old mother of two has been awarded £800,000 in damages at the High Court after a nutritional therapist placed her on a radical detox diet that left her brain damaged and epileptic.
Dawn Page, 52, claimed she was told to drink an extra four pints of water each day, and reduce her salt intake, after consulting therapist, Barbara Nash, about losing weight.
Her lawyers said she suffered uncontrolled vomiting within days of being placed on "The Amazing Hydration Diet", but was assured her sickness was simply "part of the detoxification process". She claimed she was later told to increase the amount of water she drank to six pints per day. Less than a week after she started the diet, the former conference organiser, of Faringdon, Oxon, said she suffered an epileptic fit brought on by severe sodium deficiency.
She was treated in intensive care, but doctors were unable to prevent permanent brain damage.
She has been left with damage to her memory, concentration and her ability to speak normally and was forced to quit her job, relying instead on her husband Geoffrey, 54, for help.
Mrs Page weighed 12 stones when she contacted Mrs Nash in late September 2001. She paid £50 for the initial consultation.
Mr Page said the size of the damages reflected the seriousness of his wife's injuries, and warned others of the dangers of embarking on "fad-type" diets.
"She was not obese or even mildly obese, but like a lot of women, Dawn liked to look after her weight and was not having much success with the normal way of doing that," he said.
"She had tried Weight Watchers and calorie control diets, and this was just another potential route for her to lose weight. Her life has been seriously affected, perhaps ruined, by this fad-type way of losing weight.
Dieticians in Britain are regulated by the Health Professions Council (HPC). However nutritional therapists are not required to be. The British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) which has its own code of conduct, said Mrs Nash was not a member. The British Dietetic Association yesterday warned people about the rise in the self-styled and unqualified nutritional therapists.
More evidence, if it were needed, that our obsession with weight loss and the temptation to try ever-more extreme diets is bad for you? Or just a rare case of bad luck for this particular dieter? Can it really be that difficult to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and take enough exercise to keep you at a health weight and size. Should we all just stop obsessing over our weight and get on with life? My cake-filled, under-exercised face says probably yes to the former, and yes please to the latter, but what do you think?

Hemp seeds to rebalance and detox
"Unless you live in a pesticide and chemical-free environment and eat only 100% organic, there is an excellent chance that your body is overburdened, nutrient deficient and headed toward obesity and long term problems. North America in particular has been lulled by the food industry to eat supposedly safe, processed, packaged and canned foods. Well you've been fooled long enough!..."
