beluga Posted February 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I just got back from a cruise on Carnival Ecstasy. I sat through the lecture where the trainer were trying to sell their $300 three month herbal detox program. I was wondering if anyone bought it and if so, what you thoughts of the program were - did it work? They said you can buy the products online - does anyone have the website? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmecruise1962 Posted February 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2008 took the pills religiously...and nothing. Maybe I'm not toxic! :cool: I don't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakieemma Posted February 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Nothing more than snake oil....stay away...just another homeopathic scam. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctordi Posted February 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you are not a drug addict or an alcoholic, you don't need detox. The body is perfectly capable of removing toxins on its own. Just eat good food and drink plenty of water and you will feel really good. No need to take expensive herbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirwired Posted February 19, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2008 This is a board for EasyCruise, not Carnival. You might be better off posting on a board for people that have been on a Carnival cruise. That being said, I would be leery of anything that claims to remove "toxins." What the heck is a "toxin" anyway? For example, in small doses, boutulinum toxin (a.k.a. BoTox) is a cosmetic. In doses delivered by spoiled canned goods, it is one of the most deadly poisons in the world. In regular doses, Iron is a vital mineral, without which you run a good chance of becoming anemic and possibly dying. In high doses it causes liver failure. Heck, even water can be a "toxin". Too little, you die from kidney failure. Too much, and you die from cardiac arrest induced by electrolyte imbalance. SirWired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieJeansMum Posted February 19, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Nothing more than snake oil....stay away...just another homeopathic scam. :cool: I couldn't agree with you more. For the outrageous price of about 300usd, what yoiu seem to get is a lot of herbs that give you a "run" for your toilet as you eliminate nothing more than that 300 dollars. JMHO, of course. The brand is Elemis and can be found on that famous auction site, as well as their website of the same name. I think one would be better off eating healthy well-balanced meals.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stircrzy Posted February 19, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The site is timetospa.com... but don't do it! Eat healthy, drink lots of water, spread the joy, cruise as much as you can afford, and be kind to others! No need for expensive detox products!

halos Posted February 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I consider myself decently holistic and I agree that the whole detox thing is crap. Eat healthy and drink lotza water. And more importantly, just BE a good person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beluga Posted February 19, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks - that's what I thought. I almost bought - but when they said you can stop all meds if you take this - I thought what BS. They claimed no medications ever cured anyone - they just treat symptoms and people needed to stop taking them. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For normal people, the kidneys and liver will do the job for you. The only thing the herbal detox program will detox is your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
