Odd question?
Our bodies are self cleansing on the inside. We only have to worry about the outside.

As long as you have a fully functional liver, there is never a reason to "cleanse."

It can be healthy, ad long as you lab work us great and you are not too smart, depleted.
When my body fat dropped to15%(very low with number for women), I could not fast because my BS would crash on me. My body had no reserves so if I didn't eat, my muscles were used as fuel. I lost a lot of muscle mass during a couple of months that too many things made me sick, or in pain.
If you are normal weightbut with some fat to burn , fast may be ok or even good.
