      Such blinkered bullshit. No, by the extremely narrow definition of "removing toxins from your body" they don't "work". However, there are many other positive reasons why you ought to take a break from filling yourself with crap. I went on a detox in 2001, and it changed my life.https://twitter.com/DavidJuurlink/status/947143165038825472 …

      For those contemplating a detox or cleanse in 2018, here’s a toxicologist’s explanation of how they work: They don’t.

      Do you think it's reasonable to object to something called a "detox" on the grounds that it doesn't remove toxins? If there's another useful thing, sounds good. But don't use terminology if the best defense is "you can't understand that term by its plain English meaning"

      Scientists and the general public mean very different things by the term. It's far from the only word that has come to mean something broader than its lexical origin.

      Both scientists and the general public mean "a regime to remove toxins from my body" If the general meaning wasn't about removing toxins, you wouldn't see the word toxin so much in plain English descriptions of these programs.

          So which toxins exactly is a "social media detox" intended to remove?

          That's an analogy and I agree unlikely to be confused. Do people talk about "Social Media cleanses"? Most of the time when you see people pitching detoxes they are talking about literal toxins.

          If you aren't talking about literal toxins, and your program might be confused as talking about literal toxins, I'm suggesting picking a different name might help people soften to it. "Toxin" is toxic, no pun intended.

          Most of the time people talk about detox, they are talking about cutting bad things out of their life. Without regard to whether or not those things are literally toxic.

          Besides which, if detox doesn't work for things which ARE toxic, why is it available on the NHS?https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/alcohol-misuse/treatment/#detox-and-withdrawal-symptoms …

          Are you migrating to "detox actually is about toxins"? If so, I'm happy to go there. But let's keep to one conversation at a time.

          No, I'm just interested to see the NHS promoting detoxing.

          My problem is with the Dawkinsist snidiness that so many people who ought to know better, and their refusal to accept that detox means something else to most people than it does to them.

          I totally believe such a program did some good for you. What I'm saying is that the marketing the programs are using is making it harder for these programs to do good for others.
