a cautionary note on drinking water to do detox. water detox myth debunked

Drinking a lot of water to clear your body of toxins myth is debunked. Many people assume that drinking a lot of water will help to clean out toxins. However, people do not know that some toxins that come into our body can not be clean out with water no matter how much water you drink! they are: heavy metals and fat soluble toxins.
water soluble toxins on the other hans, good example are drugs, get diluted in water and excreted through the kidney. its a good idea to drink plenty of water on the day when you get chemo treatment. After day or two the most of the drug (s) will be out of the system and drinking a lot of water may create health problems. Actually, there is a term in medicine: Water Intoxication ( water poisoning or hyperhydration). Hyperhydration may cause a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside safe limits by overhydration/hyperhydration.
