For the anti-inflammatory benefits.
I had really high uric acid and terrible Gout in my knees. I started taking medicine for that, but the inflammation really never went away.
After 3 weeks into a detox diet, I could already feel the difference.
I am now off of my gout medicine, and have no pain.
I am also now off my cholesterol(simvastatin) and blood pressure (atenolol) medicine.
I am taking Niacin to help raise my HDL, and I take a supplement pack with vitamins and minerals twice a day.
Big change has been the elimination of red meat, and white flour/bread and white potatoes.
My diet consists mainly of lean protein (salmon, chicken, turkey) fruits, raw nuts, and lots of veggies.
Also drinking about a 120oz of water a day.
