I was told that some products only clean your system for a day or two and the toxins are still in your system. Is this true?
My question again was about detoxification and there have been some great answers

None of these products really do anything more than your average over the counter laxative.
Toxins? Your liver handles those nicely except for things like heavy metals, but ‘detox’ products can’t help with those either.
Supposedly these products totally clean out the system. However when you return to eating regular foods you are replacing the toxins, etc that you just cleaned out. Good luck and God Bless.
Detoxification must do repeatetly, because we eat everyday. Can you thrown away your home trash once, and hope your home still clean all years long?
Some toxins are exhaled (carbon dioxide, which is only toxic in excess, is an example). Some are excreted by the kidneys. Some are metabolized by the liver and excreted in the bile, or else the liver metabolizes them into forms that can be excreted by the kidneys. The detoxification products are meant to detoxify your wallet (of that most toxic substance, filthy lucre), not your body.
I will get thumbs down for this, but those things are all snake oil. What toxins exactly are you cleaning out? How exactly are they being removed? I suppose it might feel nice to have your bowels cleaned out but don’t fool yourself into thinking there is anything more to it.
