Detoxification
Detoxification is the physiological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism, including, but not limited to, the human body and additionally can refer to the period of withdrawal during which an organism returns to homeostasis after long-term use of an addictive substance. In medicine, detoxification can be achieved by decontamination of poison ingestion and the use of antidotes as well as techniques such as dialysis and chelation therapy. Many alternative medicine practitioners promote various other types of detoxification such as detoxification diets but scientists have described these as a "waste of time and money". Sense About Science, a UK-based charitable trust determined that most commercial products' "detox" claims lack any supporting evidence.
