Just returned from a cruise on the Grand Princess, which was excellent in every way. I too went to the seminar and consultation on the Elemis detox, though it was billed as a seminar on 'Increase your metabolism'. The emphasis was more on 'toxic water' around the lymph glands causing excess weight. It all seemed to make sense at the time but when I tried to report back to my family, it didn't make sense at all, so probably just a good sales pitch.
Anyway, here's the really ridiculous bit: for my detox I was recommended 6-9 months of a twice weekly bath in some kind of seaweed bath salts and as a result I would lose the my 5.9ltrs of toxic water accumulating around ny stomach! At a cost of £880 for 9 months. I expressed doubt that sitting in a bath would have any effect on my weight, and the reply was, 'It won't work unless you believe it will.' Very telling.
I believe the reason I was not recommended the internal tablets, whatever they are, is because I am on permanent medication (thyroxine for a thyroid disorder). I don't know whether the same restriction would apply to those on other drugs. I suspect it's a blanket safety precaution. But if the bath was going to have any effect, surely the same caveat would apply?
Needless to say, I didn't buy but decided to do some research on return home. Has anybody tried this bath treatment?
I have read all the posts on this thread and note that some people have had a positive effect but is this not due to the change in diet and exercise rather than the detox?
Lookng for feedback about ELEMIS internal detox???
