not sure how much i trust any of these "Drs"
"Popular “detox” cleanses, including one promoted by Dr. Mehmet Oz on his popular TV show, are unproven and ineffective, a CBC Marketplace investigation reveals.
Marketplace teamed up with some sorority sisters at Western University to test Dr. Oz’s 48-hour cleanse, which he promotes on his website and his much-watched television show. The show also investigated two other trendy treatments that claim to “detoxify” the body.
Despite bold promises that the treatments would purify, detoxify and boost energy and optimize organ function, the cleanses lacked any scientific evidence of efficacy, or clear idea of what toxins they would actually diminish."

I watched that episode, and while I too have questions regarding the claims made, I would have been interested to see the evaluation measures and results in detail. re not finding any significant difference, if I were analyzing the raw data I wouldn't be taking statistical significance too seriously anyway, given such a tiny sample size.
