My ND said yes to enemas, but no to any other type of detox stress.
Drink more water if you do enemas.

As most drugs pass through your liver, I would assume most cleansers would do so as well.  Whether they put additional strain or not, I do not know but would assume that they most likely do.

It might be one thing if the detox is being used to recovery from an additiction and as such hopefully a one time deal.  However, if it is simply to duck screenings and continue a habitual abuse problem, then it would seem more prudent for one to seriously look at what the problem they are masking is doing to their liver.
