Stars have been raving for years about this Desert Hot Springs, Calif., spa. The program includes an all-liquid diet and options for colonic irrigation, which is said to help stars drop pounds by flushing waste and toxins out of the body.
Expert take: Liquid diets like these are rumored to rid the body of toxins in food that allegedly cause headaches, nausea and more. However, doctors say that drinking plenty of water and eating well are all the “cleansing” you need. As for colonics, there are no proven health benefits from flushing out your colon with water, says Keith DeOrio, M.D., a Santa Monica, Calif., alternative-medicine physician—but there are several risks, including a punctured bowel.
