I have a mom in my support group that wants to go through a 5 day "detoxification" at a spa facility.  What it consists of is eating only raw fruits and vegetables and drinking wheat grass juice.  This is supposed to detoxify the body.  Her concern (and mine) is that toxins will pass into the breastmilk.  I have searched the archives and the internet and can find no information on the safety of this process during lactation.  If anyone has any information I could pass on to this mom I would appreciate it.  The baby is 4 months old and weighs approx 14lbs.

Thanks,
Mellanie Sheppard sitting the exam in July!
