Recently I read a book by Thomas Rau called "The Swiss Secret to Optimal Health" which I highly recommend. Some of the suggestions for detox may shock you but the suggestions are well-supported. Dr. Rau devised a 3-week detox diet called "The Swiss Detox Diet", then followed by his maintenance diet.
Foods one must eat on the maintenance diet includes:
Plenty of raw and lightly cooked leafy greens, root vegetables and other vegetables.
Whole grains.
At least 2 tablespoons of good fats.
2 to 3 liters of uncarbonated, non chlorinated spring water and herbal teas daily between meals.
Foods you must not eat at any time (can be a shocker):
All cow's milk including yogurt, cheeses and ice cream (because of allergy to cow protein).
Pork.
Shellfish.
Bottom-feeding or large ocean fish (e.g. swordfish).
Processed foods.
White flour.
Refined sugar.
Excessive sodium.
Soda.
Commercial fruit juices
Any genetically modified foods.
Many nuts.
I would highly recommend Dr. Rau's book to help one to detox and to eat right for the rest of life.
