It is on the FDA GRAS list, Are potatoes recommended for the Optimal TOTAL Detox?
Generally speaking, during the mild phase, potatoes (incl. yams/sweet potatoes) could be eaten 2-3 times a week. However since they slow the cleansing process considerably its good if you can substitute something else. They are not recommended for the TOTAL Optimal Detox. Remember, that a baked potato works wonders and is recommended for slowing down the process when cleansing reactions occur. It is best to abstain completely from baked potatoes or any grains if one has a history of colitis, crones disease, irritable bowel syndrome, cystic fibrosis or other bowel infections.
