Its based on a very old and very bogus theory that just doesn't work, ever. But since they contain no real drugs they CAN claim to be 100% side effect free.

Not to derail the thread... but you are off on homeopathic medicine. It wasn't quite what I thought it was either.

As far as the thread:
less red meat and more pineapple and other fruits is what I've heard and read.
In my opinion, more water, less soda, less processed and horribly preservative laden food.
