Detox? Ha! (Whatever I Do, It's Got To Be Funky)

"Actress Katie Holmes is planning to embark on a Scientology detox when her Broadway show comes to an end next week.

...Katie has long been a fan of the bizarre herbal detox plan favoured by Scientologists and offered at their three ‘Gold Base’ centres in California and New York.

‘The Clear Body, Clear Mind plan utilises a regime of exercise, sauna sweat-out, vitamins and minerals to cleanse bodies of toxins,’ said a source.

‘Katie is tired from balancing motherhood with her six-nights-a-week show and wants to get back into shape.

‘The plan involves doses of the vitamin niacin to purify the body.’"

"Detox diets being used by tens of thousands to kick-start their new year are a waste of money, according to scientists.

...The scientists,...say the term detox has no meaning outside the treatment for drug addiction or poisoning and the body is capable of looking after itself. "
