Katie Holmes' health suffering under detoxification process

Katie Holmes' health is suffering under a Scientology-approved detoxification process that has led to her shedding around 10kg from her already thin figure, Woman's Day reports

Sources say the actress, who is still splitting her days between her Broadway performances and taking care of two-year-old daughter Suri, has been following a purification program, known as Clear Body, Clear Mind, which utilises a regime of exercise, saunas and vitamins and minerals to help cleanse the body.

"When Katie embarked on a new diet, Tom was insistent that it stick to the codes of Scientology," explains an insider. "The purification program is all about ridding the body of harmful toxins and calls for cutting out refined sugar, junk foods and carcinogens that create toxicity.

"It's very gruelling — long periods of fasting on nothing more than water and juice, and heavy doses of niacin, colonics and long heated saunas to purify the body."
