In the September edition of the Ladies' Home Journal Michelle Obama lets slip that she does the occasional dietary cleanse.
Generally a cleanse involves a very low calorie quasi fast during which the cleanser may also take natural laxatives. The theory behind most cleanses is that you excrete toxins from your body.
Mainstream medicine scoffs at cleanses, points out that there is no evidence that they are even necessary or work, and notes that the liver, kidneys, lungs, and intestines are very efficient filters.

What does she use a fire hose on that Buffalo butt?
I was thinking the same thing.
Whoa, whoa............too much information!!
more new age stuff. appeals to elites.
Cleanses are a good thing man, all you do is take capsules and then poop like 4 times the amount of food you eat for a week, so I know the work.
I thought Arizona was going to do a cleanse but McCain was relected, seems they’re compacted worse than I thought.
TMI

Getting rid of the spackle, I guess. Maybe they will mandate those for all of us lower forms of being.
LOL. . . you know what they say about great minds. ;’)
Yes, the old hippies here in town are a sight - bald as Elmer Fudd but with long straggly pony tails, tattered cut-offs, t-shirts from their college dorm days, tie-dyed this and that. Quite pathetic. The wimmen are all fat.
More than I want to know about Michelle.
I wonder if Michelle is going to insist on enemas for kids in her Childhood Obesity Taskforce.
Hey, it does give new meaning to “Let’s Move”!
‘Road to Wellville’ style sanitariums will be the new normal under 0bamacare. It won’t cover breast cancer treatment, but leeching will be covered.
The one on the left will never be guilty of anything. EVER. ;)
Are enemas standard during a Ramadan fast?
Somebody tell Michelle that Jackie O
liked to regularly get coffee colonics.
That was how she stayed so slim.
FLOTUS BTTT
