Well, you asked what kind of a person would do this to themselves? I have to say...a smart one.
I'm a stay at home mother of 3 who has been doing this for many years. I do this cleanse twice a year. I don't have a weight problem but I do have an understanding of how important organ cleansing is.
It is the best gift you can give yourself. OK, that's a bit much, but it's a good thing to do. I like the fact that it is challenging and I would never stop before the 10 days are up.
My mom did it once for 30 days. Not sure where she got the strength but she has never felt better since doing this cleanse.
