Couldn't agree more, Open.

I've seen various well known detox and nutrition leaders who write this stuff on the net or in books quite casually, like its some kind of simple 'snack recipe". There is no real mention of the impacts and challenges one might encounter, or how you might actually need someone around to support you.

Also, as with everything, detoxing is personal, what's right for you isn't necessarily right for someone else. And its good to remember you might have an expectation of what might arise from your fast. When the process gets underway, it could be quite different from that.
