I am currently in week 2 of a 3-week "Purification Program" using Standard Process supplements. My naturopath recommended it last year, I am finally getting around to doing it. I still have 13 days left, not sure if I feel any different yet. I will keep you posted!
Here is some info on the Standard Process products/program:

The products used are the SP Complete, SP Cleanse, SP Green Food, and the Gastro Fiber

ETA: I have noticed that I am peeing like a racehorse! About once an hour I have to go!

If you do a search under "detox" (in the Open Forum), there are several recent threads that talk about it.
I did an oxygen-based detox a couple of months ago.
My often-coated tongue cleared up; the day after I started, I had a huge zit in the area that corresponds to my large intestine (which indicated that something was being cleared upaccording to my acupunturist/Chinese medicine doc); and I felt like I had a more stable energy (not fatigued, but not hyper).
I think the results of detoxes are not usually big "Wow, what a difference!" immediate results, but are often less visible.

I followed the Fat Flush Plan by Ann Louise Gittleman. This was a 2 week detox. It worked well! It was interesting how the body adjusted as the toxins were being released from the body. I was having headaches (I think from the sugar withdrawal) for the first couple of days. Then, almost a week into the cleanse my muscles (especially the quads) were achy. After this, I felt great and really energetic. The important thing is to eat as organic as you can. Definitely don't want to introduce toxins from the pesticides into the system while you're doing a detox!

It's not as nasty as it sounds: the area right under the nostril corresponds to a energy meridian that hits the large intenstine. When my acupunturist mentioned my zit, I didn't think anything about it, but when I later said I was detoxing, he then said that the zit corresponded to the meridian that is connected to the large intenstine, and showed me the meridian on his acupuncture anatomy chart. In his opinion, it meant that something was going on in the intestines, and the fact I was doing a detox explained it. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Some of you may remember that I'm a consultant for Arbonne...
I do a one week detox every quarter, and take a detox tea daily, and a mini colon cleanse weekly (it's a pill, and NO! It doesn't make me run for the potty!)...
I eat cleanly (organic and usually vegi, no dairy, no shellfish or pork), and have never felt better! I also follow a food combining diet, which I think helps quite a bit...

I did a cleanse by Renew Life and had great results. Check out their website renewlife.com and see which cleanse might be best for you. They are great at answering questions and their products are available in many health food stores too.
