I’ve seen those infomercials for colon cleansing where they claim if you use the products, ropes of built-up "gunk" coating the insides of your colon will come out.

My first question is, do any of these actually work or it is just a bunch of propaganda?

My second question is, if this does work, which one would you all suggest is the best product?

Thanks for you help!!!

You should really read this article on quackwatch.org: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/gastro.html

That site is kind of like the medical version of snopes.com. The article talks about the whole "colon cleansing" fad. The general conclusion seems to be that colon cleansing is unnecessary, and may or may not be harmful.

If you think about it, after millions of years of evolution, it wouldn’t make sense that your colon couldn’t take care of cleaning itself. Colon cleansing, though promoted by "natural health" types, is a very unnatural thing to do.

I’ve heard various opinions of detoxifying your body by doing a colon cleansing…this apparently rids the body of parasites that prevent you from staying healthy and losing weight…If this really is a good thing, where can I find a trust-worthy regimen for this?

If you are going to do a cleanse, you might as well do a total body cleanse — not just a colon cleanse. The best one I’ve found is Isagenix. Here’s a good clip that explains how it works, etc…

http://media01.isagenix.com/Corporate/WW/EN/microsite/cleansedforlife/cleansed_video.html

Cleansing is great, and vital to your health, but you need to do it correctly. The purpose of a cleanse (especially if you are fighting a degenerative or chronic disease) is to detox your body AND give your body the nutrients it needs to regenerate clean, healthy cells.

Most cleanses — like the master cleanse — do detox your body, but do nothing for restoring balance to your system. For example, your body is building about 1 billion new cells each day. If you cleanse without flooding your body with super-absorbable nutrients, your body has to create new cells out of whatever is left over in your system after you cleanse– which is usually mineral, vitamin, protein and fat deficient.

This is why Isagenix is do different, and so much better than anything else on the market. The Isagenix cleanses flush your entire system (colon included) of all the junk, while simultaneously flooding your cells with super nutrition. This way, when your body starts building new cells — they are made out of the best "parts" available.

This will help your body regenerate parts of your body that need help. Other benefits of this type of cleanse are: eliminating unhealthy cravings, weight loss, better sleep, more energy, sharp intellect and clear skin.

What’s the longest colon cleansing string of poop?
Or, whats the shortest colon cleansing string of poop?

Um no… Because it would be unhealthy for someone to try to beat the longest/heaviest/biggest record. And the shortest… well what would you call skid marks in the underwear?

I’ve been reading about colon cleansing and how toxic our insides become. Have you ever done a colon cleansing, and how did it make you feel? Did you lose weight from it?

Yes you can lose weight from them. They also rid your body of toxins. They may even help your metabolism because when your colon is full it slows your system.

I keep hearing that the colon stores ‘plaque’ and old fecal matter, toxins etc. on the intestinal walls that can stay there for years. Is it true? Is it a good idea to do a colon cleanse, water or juice fast or enema to clean it out? Please be descriptive and don’t just say yes or no. Thanks for your help!
I’ve never been so grateful for an answer before. Thank you SO much to all the Doctors that contributed and saved me from an unpleasant and costly experience! I can’t choose a best answer because all three of you gave comprehensive answers. I guess I’ll just put it to a vote and give you all thumbs up! Thanks again!

It is really not a pleasant thing at first, but highly addictive!!! You’ll feel really great, especially after the 3rd one (it goes in series, most of the time) It feels like you can fly and you can loose anything from 2 kg straight (imagine how much we have $%^^& inside) !!! if you have a good specialist you wont experience any discomfort but do make sure you follow the instruction for the preparation for your fist session, its really important. It might sound strange but even breathing will be so easy, its amazing what it can do for your body.

And, yes all that #$%#$%^ accumulates over the years in your colon blocking it and making your physiological functioning difficult, slowly poisoning you. The best option is to do it regularly every 3 to 6 months, for “cleaner” results..

If you wish to do it yourself, start by adding a little of lemon juice to about 2 Lts of lukewarm-hot water, be careful, it may cause you to feel nauseous and painful but its all part of initiation. Do not expect all the 2Lt to work into your system on the first time, but be persistent… best idea, rather seek a specialist and follow the doctor’s instruction, this will give you better results and less discomfort.

Or do you do the Replenish for 10 days, then the Cleansing formula for 10 days, then the colon health formula for 10 days?
-Thanks red hedd, unfortunately your answer didn’t answer my question whatsoever… please respond on if you’re actually going to answer my question and not lecture. THANKS!

You do know that the colon cleanse, doesn’t do anything for your overall health. Stick to a colonoscopy when your doctor calls for it, and don’t use Colon Blow without a real need.

I don’t know if I’ve been stressed out or what but I’m just not regular anymore and thought maybe a colon cleanse would fix me up. Any suggestions?

Stress will certainly do it. Try meditation or breathing exercises to relax, then be sure to eat plenty of fruit and fiber while drinking plenty of water each day. If these new habits don’t move things along quick enough for you, you could try a supplement like bowtrel. I found it at http://www.bowtrolcoloncleanse.com/?aid=971075. Good luck to you.

I hear models do it all the time to lose weight and cleanse their colons of excess weight. I looked up what it is but nothing answered my question. What does colon cleansing do? How long should you do it for? And what all should you eat during that time?

there is not specific diet per say for a colon cleanse. i gave used the walmart brand of colon cleanse for 9 bucks, and the acai product for 8 dollars, don’t buy into the hype of the guys and girls that will post here to go to a specific website, that is a scam as they charge u around 90 bucks for the same thing that walmart has. if you want to for the 2 weeks at the beginning you can cut out meat and eat fruits and vegis.

Have you ever used any colon cleansing products? If so which ones would you say were the most effective but lease offensive!

Hi I used one which worked for me pretty well. I always had that bloated feeling and I tried some of those yoghurt drinks but they didnt do the trick. Its quite scary when you read what can be stored up inside you and the risk of cancer that goes with it. After I been using it I did fell a lot better inside, hard to say how it felt, just felt lighter inside. If you are going to try it why not get one of the trials that are out there. I got mine at http://xrl.us/begnzo and its worked for me. What ever you do make sure you get a genuine one becasue there are lot of fake ones out there that dont do anything at all.

before i started a colon cleansing product 2 days ago i smoked like a pack a day but went down to only one or two a day since ive been using the colon cleansing product. will it still work?

cigarettes and caffeine stress the colon, too, so if you can, try to avoid them.
to ensure the success of your colon cleansing process, try to remember the colon-friendly foods, like green vegetables and fruit juices (more are listed in http://www.coloncleansezone.com/colon-cleansing/colon-cleansing-foods-for-natural-detoxification.html ).

I have extremely frequent diarrhea from food intolerances and I want to find a way to stop it without completely stopping eating the foods (carbohydrates). I saw something about an oral supplement called colon cleanse and i’ve also thought about getting a colonic. But those are usually for people who are constipated and I have the opposite problem. Any suggestions?

DIARRHEA / DIRRHOEA :- Diarrhoea means there are frequent, loose or liquid stools. There may be a gripey abdominal pain (colic) which is less after a stool is passed.

Acute diarrhoea – comes on suddenly and lasts a short time.
Chronic diarrhoea – affects someone over a long period of time.
Some people pass frequent, small solid stools with a sense of urgency. This is not true diarrhoea and occurs when the rectum is irritable as in the irritable bowel syndrome or inflamed as in colitis.

What causes diarrhoea?
Too much fluid is passed (secreted) from the blood-stream into the bowel, for example in gastroenteritis. This is how some laxatives work.
The bowel moves its contents through too quickly and too little fluid is passed back into the bloodstream. This is one way in which anxiety produces diarrhoea.
More liquid is drunk than the bowel can cope with – this seldom happens, but is one way in which drinking too much beer can cause diarrhoea.

What causes acute diarrhoea?

Food poisoning
Gastroenteritis (see separate leaflet on the prevention and treatment of travellers’ diarrhoea)
Anxiety
Sometimes treatment with an antibiotic
Alcohol (to excess)

What causes chronic diarrhoea?

When diarrhoea goes on for a long time, the most likely cause is irritable bowel syndrome. It is called a ‘functional’ condition. This means that the bowel produces stools which are looser or more frequent than normal, although the bowel is not diseased.

Diarrhoea Treatment & Homeopathic Medicines :-

#Arsenicum. [Ars]
That excellent and truly homoeopathic work on diarrhoea by Dr. J.B.Bell contains the indications for some one hundred and forty remedies in this complaint. The following are perhaps the more often indicated. Arsenicum, it may be said, is always thought of in diarrhoea. Given a case of diarrhoea, and two remedies always come to mind, namely, Arsenicum and Veratrum, and immediately the distinguishing features of these are gone over much in this way:

Arsenicum. Stools in small quantities. Restlessness, anguish and intolerance of pain. Thirst for small quantities and often. The prostration and weakness are out the stool, of all proportion to stool.

Veratrum album. Profuse stools. No restlessness, anguish, intolerance of pain. Great thirst for large quantities of cold water. Great prostration follows not more, however,than profuseness warrants.

The two remedies are easily distinguished, and it would it seem to be the height of imbecility to alternate them. The grand characteristics of Arsenicum in diarrhoea , therefore, are:
1. The small quantity. 2. The dark color. 3. The offensive odor. 4. The great prostration following.
Another grand feature is the burning in the rectum, which almost amounts to a tenesmus. The stools of Arsenicum are dark yellow, undigested, slimy or bloody ; they are often dark green and very offensive; they are worse at night and after eating or drinking. China, Ferrum and Arsenicum all have undigested stool coming on after eating. Among the principal causes of the diarrhoea calling for Arsenicum, and one which would be an additional indication, is chilling of the stomach by cold food, ice water or ice cream. It is also the remedy for diarrhoea from tainted food and so-called ptomaine poisoning. It hardly seems possible that Arsenicum with these characteristics could be misprescribed.

#Veratrum album. [Verb]
The characteristics of Veratrum album are no less well marked than are those of Arsenicum. They are as follows:
1. A profuse watery stool, forcible evacuated. 2. Pain in the abdomen preceding stool. 3. Great prostration following stool. 4. Cold sweat , coldness and blueness of the body generally.

The stools of Veratrum are watery, containing therein flakes, and are commonly called rice-water discharges. Preceding the stool is a severe pinching colic in the abdomen , and this pain is apt to continue during the stool. Nausea,too, is often an accompaniment. Cramps in the feet and legs may also be present.
Jatropha has a profuse watery discharge, evacuated with great force, and the patient is cold as under Veratrum; but with Jatropha a great quantity of wind escapes. Cuprum is also similar in many respects to Veratrum. Here the cramps are very severe and extend to the chest; it has the vomiting and purging of Veratrum, but not the cold sweat. Among the prominent general symptoms of Veratrum is the great thirst for very cold water in large draughts.
From personal experience I believe Veratrum acts better in the higher potencies in diarrhoea ; in the lower potencies it may produce unfavorable results from too sudden stoppage of the discharges, while in the higher potencies, 12th,30th etc., its acts tuto, cito et jocunde.

#Cinchona officinalis. [Cinch]
Arsenicum and Veratrum in a certain case having been excluded, perhaps the next remedy coming to mind is Cinchona. Indeed, it may come to mind at once if the diarrhoea be a painless one. Cinchona, Podophyllum and Phosphoric acid have painless stools. Or, if the stool be undigested, it will come promptly to mind along with Podophyllum and Ferrum, which is a very efficient remedy in painless diarrhoea. The characteristic Cinchona diarrhoea is a painless one, of a cadaverous odor. It is slimy, bilious, blackish and mixed with undigested food; it is worse at night and after eating , with a rapid exhaustion and emaciation, and this exhaustion, emaciation and debility at once distinguish the remedy from Phosphoric acid, which is similar, lacking the debility , but having the following:
1. Rumbling in abdomen. 2. Perspiration of the whole body. 3. Thin watery painless stools. 4. Much thirst.

The Cinchona diarrhoea is worse after eating , here resembling Ferrum and Arsenicum . If it be caused or made worse by fruit, it is an additional characteristic indication for its use. It is a great favorite in summer diarrhoeas, also Iris versicolor, when there is much sour vomiting. Cinchona has a similar thirst to Arsenicum, the patient drinks little and often , but it lacks the burning to Arsenicum. Diarrhoeas coming on after attacks of acute illness areoften met by Cinchona. It also corresponds to the chronic diarrhoeasof aged persons.

#Sulphur. [Sulph]
The diarrhoea of sulphur is very characteristic. It has changeable stools, yellow , watery, slimy, and in scrofulous children may contain undigested food. It is worse in the morning about four or five O’clock, when it wakens the patient and drives him out of bed in great haste. For these early morning diarrhoeas we have a number of remedies. Bryonia is one , but the stool of Bryonia comes on after the patient has been up a while and has moved about, here presenting the worse-from-motion symptom of that drug. Natrum sulphuricum is another; it has morning stool associated with a great deal of flatus, and it comes on usually as soon as the patient stands on his feet in the morning, or sometimes during the forenoon. Rumex crispus is another and it has exactly the same symptom as Sulphur, but it is usually associated with cough. Podophyllum is another and perhaps the most similar to Sulphur in this respect. It hurries the patient out of bed and it has changeable stools,but it is more apt to continue throughout the day and is associated with soreness in the liver. There is with Sulphur a tendency to rectal soreness, there is itching and soreness at the anus, the stools being acrid and excoriating.
Phosphorus has a morning painless stool and so has Dioscorea, but the colicky pains of this remedy starting from the umbilicus and radiating to all parts of the body should be easily distinguish. Petroleum has early morning stools associated with emaciation. They differ from Sulphur in occurring also throughout the day. Kali bichromicum has also a watery gushing stool coming on in the morning and followed by tenesmus. The stools of Sulphur are offensive and the odor of the stool follows the patient about as if he had soiled himself.The stools often alternate between constipation and diarrhoea, and if haemorrhoids be present it is an additional good indication for Sulphur. A diarrhoea of mucus streaked with blood, preceded by colic, is also often found under the remedy.

#Aloes. [Aloe]
Aloes is a remedy whose chief action is on the rectum. It produces a constant desire to stool, and the passages are accompanied with a great deal of flatus. The great characteristic of the drug feeling of uneasiness, weakness, and certainly about the rectum; there is a constant feeling as if stool would escape, the patient dares not pass flatus for fear of the escape of faeces. This condition is met with in children sometimes, they pass faeces when passing flatus. Aloes resembles Sulphur, Thuja and Bryonia in having an early morning stool; like Sulphur wakens the patient and hurries him out of bed to the toilet. It is worse from eating but it seldom continues during the day. The weakness of the sphincter ani is also found under Phosphoric acid, where we have also stools escaping with the flatus. The Aloes patient will also pass stool when urinating. Haemorrhoids which are characteristically swollen and sore accompany the Aloes stool. The stool themselves are yellow and pasty or lumpy and watery, and before the stool there are griping pains across the lower part of the abdomen and around the navel. These pains also continue during stool and passage usually relieves them. The essentials are:
1. The lumpy, watery stool. 2. The intense griping across the lower parts of the abdomen before and during stool, leaving after stool. 3. The extreme prostration and perspiration following.

#Croton tiglium. [Crot]
Croton tiglium is one of the great homoeopathic remedies for diarrhoea , which might readily be imagined from the prompt action of the drug in the minutest doses of the crude substance in the intestinal canal. Its characteristics are a yellowish, watery stool pouring out like water from a hydrant, and especially associated with nausea and vomiting and aggravated by eating and drinking. There are a number of drugs which are very similar to Croton tiglium and they may be mentioned here. The first is Elaterium. This is a remedy for frothy, copious, forcible diarrhoeas preceded by cutting in abdomen, chilliness, prostration and colic. They are always gushing and may be olive-green in color. The second is Gratiola; this has a gushing watery diarrhoea coming out like water from a hydrant; the stools are yellowish green and frothy and there is associated with them a cold feeling in the abdomen. The third is Jatropha.
This has a profuse, gushing, watery diarrhoea; but here there is much wind and flatulence and great prostration. The fourth is Gamboge. This has a stool expelled "all at once", with much relief following. Stools thin and watery. The characteristics of the stool of Croton tiglium are:
1. The yellow, watery stool. 2. The sudden expulsion. 3. The aggravation from drink and food; and to this we may add the quite common accompaniment of nausea, preceded by a little pain in the abdomen.

#Rheum. [Rheum]
One symptom always leads to the thought of this drug, and that is sourness of stools and of the whole body, though Rheum is not only remedy for sour stools nor are sour stools the only indication for Rheum; indeed, they may be wanting in sourness and Rheum still be the remedy. For sour stools, besides Rheum, we have notably Calcarea carbonica, Magnesia carbonica and Hepar. Magnesia carbonica is said to follow Rheum well, and, besides sourness, it has the frothy, green, frog-pond scum stool, and it is especially suitable to infants when the stools are of the above character and accompanied with discharge flatus and much crying. Debility is also characteristic of the remedy.
Characteristic among the symptoms of Rheum, besides the sourness, is a griping colic often followed by tenesmus. In color, the stools are brown and frothy, and usually sour; they are worse from motion and after eating. Chilliness during stool is also characteristic. The continuance ;of the colic after the stool also suggests the remedy.

#Podophyllum. [Podo]
Podophyllum, as we have seen, has an early morning diarrhoea. The stools are watery, yellow, profuse,forcible and occur without pain any time from three o’clock to nine in the morning, and a natural stool is apt to follow later in the day. It occurs, too, immediately after eating resembling cinchona and Colocynth, and it has still another resemblance to Colocynth in its colic, which is relieved by warmth and bending forward. Following the diarrhoea of Podophyllum is a sensation of great weakness in the abdomen and rectum, this weakness o;f the rectum being a great characteristic of the remedy. The rectum prolapses before the faeces are evacuated; here it differs from the prolapses which would call for Ignatia, Carbo vegetabilis and Hamamelis.
Podophyllum has proved useful in the diarrhoea of dentition when cerebral symptoms are present. Sometimes a headache will alternate with the diarrhoea. This also occurs with Aloes. The stools of Podophyllum are often undigested; and here the remedy touches China and Ferrum, which are the great remedies for undigested stools. A deposit of mealy sediment further indicates the remedy in diarrhoeas of children. Podophyllum and Mercurius have some symptoms in common; both affect the liver both affect the liver, both have a tongue taking the imprint of the teeth, but the stool of Mercurius is accompanied by straining. The great characteristics of Podophyllum may be thus summed up: 1. Early morning stools. 2. Watery, pasty yellow or undigested stools, forcibly expelled. 3. Painless. 4. Weakness in the rectum following stool. Podophyllum also resembles Calcarea carbonica and Phosphoric acid in many respects; the rapid debility and exhaustion distinguish it from the acid, and the absence of general Calcarea symptoms from the acid, and the absence of general Calcarea symptoms from CALCAREA. It is especially useful in the obstinate diarrhoeas of unhealthy infants in the 3x dilution.

#Mercurius. [Merc]
Straining at stool is the great characteristic of Mercurius, and this is more marked under Mercurius corosivus than under the solubilis. The former is the great homoeopathic remedy for dysentery. It may be remarked, in passing, that the allopaths have recently discovered this application of Mercurius corrosivus. The stools of Mercury are slimy and bloody, accompanied by a straining and tenesmus which does not seem to let up; so we have what is characteristically described as a never-get-done-feeling. There is accompanying, much hepatic soreness, flabby tongue taking imprint of the teeth, and before the stool there is violent urging and perhaps chilliness. Bayes praises Mercurius in a diarrhoea of yellow or clay-colored stool. A sickly smell from the mouth is characteristic of the remedy, and if the ready perspiration so characteristic of Mercurius be present the choice is easy. Prolapsus of the rectum may follow the stool.

#Calcarea. [Calc]
Calcarea should never be overlooked in any intestinal trouble; as we have seen, it is one of the great remedies for sour stools, and for undigested stools. It is one of our best remedies for chronic diarrhoea, its symptoms produced by the provers are very few, yet prescribed for its general symptoms it has proved very useful, for it is just in a genuine Calcarea patient that one usually finds diarrhoea.Diarrhoes occurring during dentition in infants with open fontanelles call for Calcarea. Calcarea phosphorica, too, is a very useful remedy in these diarrhoeas, but the diarrhoea of Calcarea phosphorica is distinguished by being a spluttering diarrhoea, forcibly expelled, but watery, greenish, or undigested, and with a great deal of offensive flatus. Calcarea carbonica is more suited to fat children. Calcarea phosphorica to those who are old and wrinkled. Both of these remedies, as well as Silicea and Sulphur, come in most frequently in the diarrhoeas of scrofulous and rachitic children. In the Calcarea carbonica patient there is usually a ravenous appetite, and, as in Phosphoric acid, the stools do not seem to weaken. This is especially true of another of the Calcareas, Calcarea acetica. Prescribe for the patient instead of the diarrhoea at all times,but more especially if Calcarea be given.

#Phosphorous. [Phos]
Phosphorous is especially a remedy for chronic forms of diarrhoea. It has green mucous stools worse in the morning, often undigested and painless. The stools pass as soon as they enter the rectum,and contain white particles like rice or tallow. Apis has a sensation as if the anus stood open, and the involuntary escape of faeces in Phosphorous reminds also of Aloes. Chronic,painless diarrhoea of undigested food call sometimes for Phosphorus. It is profuse and forcible and aggravated by warm food, and the patient often vomits; in fact, one of the characteristics of Phosphorous is the vomiting of what has been drunk as soon as it becomes warm in the stomach. With the diarrhoea there is a weak, gone feeling in the stomach, and perhaps burning between the shoulders. The frog spawn, or sago, or grain of tallow stool is most characteristic of the remedy.

#Argentum nitricum. [Arg]
Argentum nitricum is quite similar to Arsenic in many ways. The stools are green, slimy and bloody,like chopped spinach in flakes. Aconite has a green stool like spinach. With the stool there is a discharge of flatus and much spluttering, as in Calcarea Phosphorica. The stools are worse from any candy, sugar, or from drinking. The sudden attacks of cholera infantum in children who have eaten too much candy will often be removed by Argentum nitricum. The children are thin, dried up looking, and it seems as if the child had but one bowel and that extended from the mouth to the anus. Another characteristic of Argentum nitricum is its use in diarrhoea brought on by great mental excitement, emotional disturbance, etc.
Gelsemium is one of the most prominent remedies for diarrhoea produced by fright or fear; it appears suddenly and the stools are yellow and papescent. Opium has diarrhoea from fright and so has Veratrum album. Pulsatilla, too, may be indicated in diarrhoea from fright; the stools are greenish yellow and changeable. Dulcamara has diarrhoea from changes in the weather or in temperature, as in those employed in packing house who change frequently from hot to cold, or diarrhoea in the mountains where the midday is hot and the nights excessively cool.There are a number of minor remedies for diarrhoea , but these very minor remedies become of major importance when they are closely indicated.

I’m looking to cleanse my colon and remove toxins from my body, and I’ve done some research and some pills seem to work, but I dont know which to buy. Any pills I can buy at the vitamin shop that can help me with this? I always feel bloated, I’ve lost 40 lbs since the summer but I still have a lower gut and I want to do this before I start working out again.

colon cleansing is required for the removal of toxic and mucus buildup in the colon and assists in recovering natural balance of good and bad bacteria and the adequate absorption and production of enzymes and vitamins. Proper colon cleansing will help reduce food intolerance, improve skin appearance, reduce cellulite, improve energy, reduce weight, and enahance immune function.

A toxic colon is a major factor in the development of food intoleranc, malnutrition, and chronic ill health. The colon is a main organ responsible for ridding the body of toxic waste. When the colon is not functioning properly because of diet, stress, drugs, chemicals, parasites, and other substances, it tries to protect itself by producing more mucus. This additional mucus can bind with the sludge from refined foods, such as white flour products, and build up on the wall of the bowel, narrowing the lumen, and reducing absorption of vital nutrients. This layer of gluey, hardened feces can weigh several pounds and is a good place for harmful organisms and bacteria to breed. Do not think because you have regular bowel movements, or even diarrhea, that you have escaped this problem. The stool can pass daily through a dirty colon and leave the accumulated residue on the walls behind. There is no need to get panicky about the amount of weighty colon sludge you might be carrying around with you: there is a great deal you can do about it. Various supplements have been developed to assist in the process of colon cleansing.

Hope it helps!

My son has a tournament in a few days and I’m a bit concerned about him meeting his weight. Even with chewing vitamin C pills and cutting back on eating I recon he’ll still be a bit too heavy. colon cleansing seems like it’ll take off a few extra pounds for the weigh in. Any ideas?

The idea of cleansing is often got the misnomer of losing weight. YES it does help you drop weight due to the very specific diet, that is of course we are talking about the cleansing diet, but the cleansing diet more re-calibrates your metabolism so you process and break down food and maximize you energy.
the Colon cleansing is almost like power washing your large intestine,whichj gets a lot of build up from the various thing we eat. You will drop some weight but for the best results is to pay attention to your diet after youreceivee the treatmentt.

colon cleansing is advertised constantly on my local radio station, I go for a colonoscopy every 3 years will this show if I have a membrane that the cleansing is suppose to remove ???
read the question before passing judgement,,,I don"t go around looking for an enema

the body is really an amazing organ – as long as you have a good diet and drink plenty of liquids – esp water, you don’t need to go "cleaning out your system" we’re not a car. There is actually a lot of different things going on inside our bodies and doing colon cleansings can cause an inbalance in the natural state of affairs. We have certain "good" bacteria in our body doing what it’s supposed to do – you don’t want to wash them out! colon cleansing is just what the other guy said – a way to make a bunch of $ off of people.
there are some times a reason for what’s called a high colonic enema (basically what is advertised as a colon cleansing)- but that’s something that should only be done by a health care professional and only for certain reasons. they really aren’t the most fun thing in the world to go through – why anyone would to pay someone a bunch of $ to do that when it really isn’t necessary is beyond me.
Did the Dr. recommend you go in every 3 years? or is that something you decided to do?

added – I’m not sure who you think is passing judgment – I’m not seeing it – you asked about colonics – people are answering the question. I certainly wasn’t meaning too, I just think it’s a very unnecessary thing to do – why put something foreign into the body that isn’t needed and could do more harm.

A co worker is advocating a colon cleansing system, drnatura.com, and says that he no longer takes any meds, and even stopped taking insulin shots. colon cleansing etc, scam or real?

it’s going to clean you out, in other words give you diarrhea for a while, if you can handle running back and forward to the bathroom, then go for it.

Ok so im doing the colon cleansing diet/ fasting. Im just starting so of course im gona feel a little full for a day or 2 but is there any way that i can feel full without eating a single thing. Would drinking a bottle of water with those crystal light powders in it be too sugary for my stomach and the fast will be worthless? Any thing you know about this, please tell

If you are fasting, ignore the other 2 posts. Fruit juice IS food and Flax is food as well (although the flax is a good way to "clean house") I have found that soda waters keep me quite full (e.g. canada dry makes some flavored ones and Lacroix makes them as well) They are usually by the bottled water/vitamin waters in the grocery store and are nothing but flavor and fizzy water. Crystal light is pretty much just chemicals and would prob be a very bad idea on an empty stomach.

Just looking to do a consensus as I’m planning to do a colon cleanse soon. Colon Blow (lol) sounds pretty good, but does it live up to the hype?

One of the most reliable and safest colon cleanse is Bromalite. It is effective to it’s core and helps your body get rid of any parasitic presence inside the colon and at the same time relieve the users from stress.

It is a perfect colon cleanse which has a natural composition which has probiotic and antioxidants to create a feeling of wellness. It helps reduce fats and help to discard the harmful deposits from our body without any side effects. http://p.gs/csupy

I’m thinking about doing a colon cleanse, but was wondering how similar the effects are to the prepping you have to do for a colonoscopy. I had that test not too long ago, so wondered if it would even be worth my while doing the cleanse?

Yes- prepping for a colonoscopy is cleaning out your colon for a reason.

"colon cleanse" quackery is cleaning out your colon for no good reason at all. Unless you LIKE diarrhea and hemorrhoids and a sore bottom.

I am normally a very healthy person. But these last weeks I have been depressed and eating a lot of junk food (a LOT) and so I have gained about 7 lbs and feel horrible and unhealthy. I wanted to know if anyone could give me advice on colon cleansing products out there. Thanks!!

your colon is cleansing itself with dietary fiber which is mostly in fruit and veggies
dont starve yourself, dont by any cleansing supplements – its a waste of money and health

Has anyone done the colon cleansing? If so where did you get the products? How long does it take. Can the results really look like the pictures you see on the websites?

My husband and myself and a friend all did the colonix and detox program from www.Dr.Natura.com. My husband used it due to having fatty liver syndrome from his bad diet. He feels great and has more energy since using this product. I used the products mainly for the detox. I have been fighting really bad hives for over a year and was tired of always taking supplements for my problem. I began to think that maybe they were caused from an overload of pollutants and toxins accumulated over my lifetime. I am pleased to say that since using this program I have not had one single outbreak of hives! My friend used the product due to bad bowel problems. She would only "poop" about once a week. She now goes daily and feels so much better. We all used the products for 1 month and now I continue with the fiber, multivitamin, and detoxigreen supplement daily. I feel so much more energetic, no more hives, no more headaches and not so stressed out. The only one that had the "icky" stuff come out in the bowel movements was my friend – she swears by the fiber and uses it daily to maintain regularity. I can tell you that this company stands behind it’s products. They have a money back guarantee and the best customer service department I have ever experienced. The product itself is very gentle and you are not running to the bathroom all day to explode. If you try their product and like it you can go back to their website a submit a testimonial and they will send you free products! Now that is pretty good! I have gotten a free bottle of the fiber, their multivitamin and a bottle of detoxigreens! I now have 2 other friends trying Dr. Natura. If I could, I swear, I would go to work for this company, that’s how great I feel their product is. Go and check out their website even if you don’t buy their stuff – it has alot of information. I hope this helps you – Good Luck!

Is it possible? I read somewhere that colon cleansing helps over-weight people shed atleast 30-80 lbs. Is this type of information true?

No, this is not true. The weight you lose will be the same weight you’d be releasing by defecating. It’s not your fat and it won’t help your waist line. It’ll be no more than a pound or two AT MOST of feces that you’d be flushing down the toilet anyway.

Some other myths about this:

Colon cleansing will eliminate toxins and impurities that are built up in your intestines. FALSE! Your body uses the liver to remove toxins from your body, not the intestines. If you were constantly constipated, however, there could be a high buildup of bacteria.

colon cleansing clears feces from the pockets of your colon.
FALSE! There are no pockets in your intestines or colon. It’s one long path that makes a lot of turns but does not branch off into ‘pockets’ at any point.

does colon cleansing or detoxification really work?what is the best kind to use?

The colon cleanses can actually cause more harm than good. They can rid the system of the ‘good’ bacteria in the digestive tract. The ‘kidney’ and ‘liver’ cleanses are really risky as well, just fyi. It’s better to increase one’s fiber intake (slowly though as to not get stomach gas/upset) with whole grain (should say ’100% whole grains or whole grains’) bread and legumes and fruits and veggies. Steer clear of laxatives as they can be physically addictive and can damage the digestive tract too. If having chronic constipation, please talk with dr about it and perhaps get a referral to a gastroenterologist (GI) dr.

colon cleansing options that really work and are not to expensive and won’t leave you locked up in the house for days.

You should visit the website, www.roex.com and check for herbs that cleanses the colon. On yesterday, April 6th, Roex had a radio talk session on the importance of a clean colon…a lack of energy, headaches, memory loss and even death due to toxins, etc. are due to an unhealthy/impacted colon. Good luck and happy cleansing!

I want to do a colon cleansing, but there is no WAY I am going for a colonic and I don’t want to spend 100 dollars on ordering one. Is there medicines in the regular drug store you can buy?

Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day for a start. Buy yourself some LSA (ground linseed, sunflower seeds and almonds) most major supermarkets and health food stores have it. Sprinkle 2 – 3 tablespoons on your cereal every morning before you put juice/milk on it. Perhaps try cut back on dairy, find a milk substitute, i.e.:- soymilk, rice milk, goats milk. Soymilk has a nutty taste, rice milk is yummy and sweet, goats milk is easily digestible because fat globules are a lot smaller that regular milk. Increase your intake of omega 3′s & 6′s (buy some flaxseed oil tablets and take with each meal). Too many people are deficient in these essential fatty acids which are imperitaive for smooth digestion processes, check out this site:

I have seen so many advertisements for colon cleansing products but are they really as effective and safe as they say?

Yes! Is the short answer
Colon cleansing products do work – and some are so safe you can use them at least twice a month. Good colon health can be the difference between having a lazy, sluggish day – or a energy-filled day.

A couple weeks ago I was looking into a colon cleansing product because my energy level was just super low and it was depressing.

I found this site: http://www.coloncleanse.net/
They have a lot of good info –

Like this article helped me out a lot:

http://www.coloncleanse.net/detoxification.html

It’s about detoxification and why colon health is so important.

Colon cleansing worked for me… I used the brand Core Cleanse. I got my energy back, and I even lost a few pounds! Drink lots of water and keep your colon clean!!

Not something that is going to have me on the toliet all day either, lol. Just something that can help me clean all the junk out of my system in a normal and safe pace. And is colon cleansing good? Does it help you lose weight?

Colon cleansing does not really provide any benefit. Contrary to popular belief, the inside of the colon — the end of the large intestine — isn’t dirty and does not need to be cleaned out. Mother Nature does that on her own by making sure that waste passes through and out of your body, taking impurities with it. Colon cleansing is just like having an enema, of which there is no medical reason to perform this, unless you have stubborn constipation and for preparing the colon for a test or for surgery. If you want to flush out impurities from your body, have another glass of water instead.

I am getting lap band surgery on Monday and I am thinking that maybe I should cleanse my bowels since I will not be able to ingest any kind of abrasive colon cleansing drinks or meds after the band is in.. Would either one of these methods be potentially complicating or dangerous?

You would need to check with your surgeon about this!
Many surgeons put patients on a liquid diet and then require them to take a laxative the day before to make sure everything is clean.
Every surgeon is different, though!

Congrats on the surgery!
Always remember, though, that it is a tool not a cure!

I read that an unhealthy overworked colon that does it’s job less efficiently can result in unprocessed toxins that end up reaching the joints and that building up and creating sore joint pain
- so secondly would anyone know of any effective colon cleansing supplements – Thank You very much for any help!

Theoretically, I suppose, but I’d really doubt it.
I mean just following their logic, if the intestinal tract isn’t absorbing nutrients (mainly protein), it could have an impact on the joints… but if your intestinal tract is that bad off that it can’t absorb protein for long enough to notice the damage in the joints (which would be months if not years), then you would likely already be dead from malnutrition. Also, unprocessed toxins wouldn’t only get in the joints… they would be spread throughout the whole body if that actually happened. You’d likely notice other indications way before joint troubles.
Simply put, the joint tissues are some of the most dense tissues in the body (obviously, there are others like the bones, but they are dense) and it takes time for them to be worn down or to be built back up. I haven’t read any research that says the colon would have any significant impact on the joints.

That being said, the best colon cleansing you can have is adding more fiber to your diet. It’s not a quick cleanse or a one-time-use cleanse, but it’s a better maintenance option to keep the colon clean so you don’t NEED to clean it every so often. Fiber basically works like a scrub brush as it goes through the intestines and colon and cleans them out very efficiently… that’s the way they were designed to work.
If you wanted a major cleanse, any good quality company’s colon cleanse would work just fine, then I would just add more fiber (cereals, breads, pastas, fruits, veggies, etc) to your diet. Good luck and I hope I helped!

If you search colon cleanse on google theres all these pictures of weird crap that is supposedly flushed out of people’s systems after taking colon cleansing products. Is this real or some kind of scam to get people to buy the products?

Well, that is an interesting question. Of COURSE we all have strange unmentionables, however, the people on the internet or TV are probably trying to sell you something to rid you of all this "crap", now, aren’t they?

Have you ever looked at cheese under a microscope? If you did, you would never eat cheese again (don’t think about it). How about yogurt? That is made of "live cultures" what do you think those "live cultures" are? We all need forms of bacteria in our systems. Yogurt has the good bacteria the "fights" the bad bacteria. You should ALWAYS eat yogurt or acidolphus (not sure of the spelling) whenever you take an antibiotic to restore the natural "good bacteria" in your system. Now, isn’t this more than you wanted to know??

Have a good variety of fruits, vegetables, and fiber, and you will be fine. Oh, and drink LOTS of water. K

I was wondering, is there a safe supplement I can take to do a home colon cleansing that I can get from GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc (or a local health store in Orange County, CA)? I don’t want to order any product over the internet. Also, how long does it usually take to work? Can I do it all in one day? Because I am on meds that I have to take everyday, and I’m sure it would flush the meds out of my system, but if I could do it in the morning anad take my meds by night it should be fine. I don’t want to have a colon irrigation procedure, so I’m looking for a safe home alternative. Thanks!!

BEST ONE: Women’s Renew available at Super Supplements. It is very affordable! It’s a three pill process that is actually very "light" on your body – no diarrhea and no cramping. It’s specifically formulated for women (there is also one for men). It takes two weeks to complete one program, however you can extend it to a month. If you are using this as a dietary supplement, make sure you are eating healthy and try to get at least a walk in every day – trust me, it helps!

Some tips with any intestenal cleansing:

If you are on medications, take them 30 minutes prior to taking the Women’s Renew – this gives your body the time to absorb the medication correctly.

Drink LOTS of water!! Believe it or not, more water helps you go easier! Good tip for constipation, too.

Include a supplement called "Jarro-Dopholius" – it’s good bacteria that would otherwise be completely wiped out of your ssytem, and you do need some of it.

Before anyone chimes in with "the only way you’re going to lose weight is diet and exercise"…I know that…thank you. I am already dieting and exercising 3-4 times a week. I am just looking for something to give me that extra little boost and speed up the process, and I was wondering if any of these colon cleansing pills or acai berry or anything like that actually helps to speed weight loss.

Devon, I just got this purity 12 in and am about to start it. I’m really glad you asked this question, I want to know if it works also. It’s a free trial thing so if I find out people are saying it doesn’t work I can just send it back today.

I was recently told that I was full of crap! I pondered this question for a moment or two, then headed straight to you, the insightful ones.

So how is one to know if they are truly in need of a cleansing, or as what a colonic preveyor may refer to as detoxification.

Now, if my schooling taught me anything, it was that the colon, also called the large intestine follows the small intestine and comprises the end of the gastrointestinal tract. Now, we learned that most nutrients from food are absorbed in the small intestine. This would entail the colon to absorb water and salts from the stool while it pushes it along through the rectum. Correct?
Wouldn’t laxatives work just the same? They promote bowel movements, have been around for atleast 3892 Years!
colon cleansing refers to a more invasive procedure of water and hoses stuck you-know-where. It’s not clear when this practice started.

It’s not poo in the toilet that ponders my couriosity, it’s the poo in me!

Your current state of turdity demands an immediate response. Perhaps you need to perform a colonic irrigation to relieve yourself of the unwanted waste. Although quite similar to an enema, colonic irrigation often includes minerals and and additives to better cleanse the colon. Hey, are you done with that cup of Starbuck’s finest? Good, pour it in…what about the latest Wall Street Journal? Add that, too (finely ground up of course). Once you’ve added the ingredients of choice (or convenience), then you just need to insert the tube into your rectum and release the valve on your metal bucket (un-crimp the tube).

Soon, the refreshingly cool fluid will start to permeate your colon and fill you with joy. Once you feel as though you can’t take it anymore and are ready to blow out your insides…remove the tube from your rectum (do this over the toilet) and release your precious, fibrous, coffee flavored poo.

I hope this helps, and in the future, you might find it more advantageous to list this in the "health" section of Yahoo Answers instead of the "ethnic cuisine" section (although you can probably establish a cause and effect relationship here).

Green tea is health, but it’s not a colon cleanser.

I prefer using it in the morning empty stomach. This makes me feel better for the entire day. http://p.gs/0yc2y , You can use bromalite in the morning soon after you leave your bed. As the key ingredients of Bromalite are mangosteen, grape seed extract, green tea extract, and other natural items.

When doing a colon cleansing should you go to a facility that specializes in colon cleaning or is it safe to use natural herbs from a herb shop.

Unless you have a colon problem you probably shouldn’t do anything to "cleanse" the colon. If you do have colon problems then you need to consult a physician.

I’m 35 and kind of overweight. My friend suggested I should think about colon cleansing.

What are the symptoms of a bad colon? Does colon cleansing help weight loss?

If your colon is not as healthy as it should be you will feel a lack of energy, some bloat and possible constipation. Mind you, these are not the only symptoms, just a few possible one. The other benefit to a colon cleanse is that you will detox your system and get rid of harmful parasites that may be lurking about.

I’ve been doing a little research on those colon cleansing kits and they seem like the way to go for a healthier system. I work out regularily & have begun eating better. These kits are believed to eliminate toxicity and waste from the body, reduce stress from our vital organs (liver, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, etc.) and support the rejuvenation of the immune system. This all sounds great, B U T…..EXPENSIVE!! I just wondered if anyone knew any safe home remedies that might work as well?

Psyllium hulls in powder form that you mix with water 2 to 3 times per day, drink lots of water, eath lot of fiber and raw vegetables, take acidophilous. this would be a good minimum to start. After about 2 weeks you can reduce psyllium to teice daily and discontinue the acidophilous.

You may wish to do a juice fast for the first day or two if you have a juicer and can access fresh vegetable juice, not v8 or sugary fruit juices.

This is not the most complete or exhaustive cleanse but it is a good basic start and the psylliun, water, fiber, vegetables part of it can be maintained for life. In the long run cunsistent healthy practices win out over occasional extremes anyway.

I was told that my breath smells funny (like moth balls and poo) because I needed a cleansing. Is that true?

Bad Breath
Definition:
Smelly breath also referred to as halitosis.

Cause:
In speaking of constipation and the need for three bowel movements a day: The wiser way is to work on the cause by unplugging and cleaning out the sewer line so there will be no more backing up of sewage. Within the human body, we find a sewage line that is backed up (constipation) and the horrible odor of halitosis comes out the front door (the mouth) as it is opened. If someone said, "Your breath is horrible," the average person works on the effect, and in order to cover up the bad breath, pops in a mint or runs for the mouth wash. If someone said–"Whew-you need a bath, the smell from your body is awful," you work on the effect again and use underarm deodorant, perfumes, colognes, etc., and never think of cleaning up the cause, and thus having a permanently sweet smelling body and breath.

Herbal Aids:
1. Bad Breath, Indigestion, or Poor Digestion: Carry cloves in pocket and chew on them, but go into the cause to get rid of the bad breath.

2. Myrrh:Take a little myrrh internally.

3. See formula for bad breath using myrrh and golden seal.

4. Cleansing the Bowel: When a person suffers from halitosis or bad breath, this is simply nature’s way of saying, "You have a toxic bowel condition.”

5. Parsley: The whole herb is effective against bad breath and people who take garlic often take Parsley to avoid offending.

6. Spearmint: It would serve as a gargle for bad breath and sore gums and mouth.

7. Cloves: These are sometimes chewed to temporarily treat bad breath, although their carminative and digestive properties may help to get to the cause

What the recent studies are showing is pretty scary. Our country has the highest number of colon-rectal cancer cases being reported in the entire world. And the disease is equally extensive among males as they are in females. In fact the disease today is killing more Americans than it ever did before. To some it is too embarrassing a subject to talk about. But it must be realized that cancer and deaths resulting from that are much more serious things and should be dealt brushing aside all sorts of inhibitions.

Through time, most renowned practitioners of alternative medicine have claimed that an unclean colon is the most dominant cause of all kinds of diseases. Without regular and proper bowl movements, the waste material that is supposed to be driven out of the body remains inside. They in turn produce toxins which are slowly absorbed by other parts of the body including the organs. This in no way can be something good for the body. In fact the toxic waste can severely affect our health.

The concept of cleansing the colon has been there for sometime now. In fact if we go back in time, the very first mention of colon cleansing can be traced as far back as the Egyptian civilization. In fact the Egyptians believed that the root of all physical ailments can be traced back to the colon. So, most of the treatment that they practiced was targeted in getting the colon work properly.

It is therefore necessary to maintain a clean colon. The ideal way to tackle an unclean colon is to go for a colon cleansing. There are several methods available to us these days which can ensure that our colon is cleansed properly. These would include:
– Colon hydrotherapy – colon cleansing herbs – Oxygen-based colon cleansing laxatives – Regular laxatives practiced in conventional medicine

Once you have got your colon cleansed the next step would be to alter your regular diet. The normal diet we have is full of processed foods. So what we miss out on is fiber. Fiber actually helps to clean our system. Without enough of it, our bowels never quite become clear. So we must increase our fiber intake. It should be anything between 25-30 grams everyday. It can be either consumed dissolved in water or with your food.

Water is another critical element in getting your colon clean. There is a simple method to calculate how much water you need for your body. Whatever your weight be in pounds drink half of it in ounces. So if you weigh 200 pounds, then drink 100 ounces of water which would be approximately 2.5 liters.

Colon cleansing not only ensures a better chance of you to avoid colon cancers but also other diseases like the Crohn’s Disease and Diverticulitis.

In America, more than anywhere else in the world, people are increasingly getting affected by colon-rectal cancer. There are studies that show if any American in the present day survives till the age of 40 he is almost certain to have diverticulosis, popularly known as herniated bowel pockets. Such facts are startling and makes us more concerned about our colon health which very often tends to get neglected.

Therapists who advocate colon cleansing argue that the colon is the place where all the wastes in our body get accumulated. If these waste matters are not removed properly, then they tend to stay there, being impacted on the walls of the colon and produce toxins. These toxins get absorbed by the bloodstream near the colon and are circulated all over the body. As toxins are necessarily bad they cause all sort of problems from headache to constipation. The therapists advise that regularly cleaning the colon by forcibly eliminating the waste matter inside one can ensure that these toxins do not get around.

Colon cleansing is not something new and its roots can be traced back to as far as the Egyptian civilization when colon was thought to be the cause of all ailments. The idea was pretty much in vogue even during Restoration England. There has been a renewed interest in colon cleansing in the recent years. Colon cleansing is performed to keep the colon completely free of any toxic substances. It is also ensured that the colon retains its proper shape and size and can function at its optimal levels.

More often than not you would not require colon cleansing. Your colon is equipped to take care of itself and unless and until the situation gets really out of hand your colon will keep on performing its work and there would be not too many risks in that.

The best way to keep your colon clean is to follow a regular balanced diet with enough of fiber in it, preferably insoluble fiber. The fiber in your food acts as roughage and helps you in having regular bowel movements. An adult human being would require 25-30 grams of fiber during a single meal.

If however you think that there is a serious problem with your colon you have to go for a colon cleansing. There are several methods available to us these days which can ensure that our colon is cleansed properly. These are:

-Colon hydrotherapy
-colon cleansing herbs
-Oxygen-based colon cleansing laxatives
-Regular laxatives practiced in conventional medicine

So take regular care of your colon and get it cleansed whenever you deem it necessary.

As more and more Americans are becoming victims of obesity, just controlling the diet is not being sufficient to put off the weight. Within a decade half of the population has been recorded to be falling under the obese category. This is really becoming a serious matter of concern.

Importance of cleansing

Dieticians have charted out low cal high fiber diet with a combination of rigorous exercise to burn the calories you have gathered over the years. Yet it seems the rate of overweight people has been increasing with a steeper rise. Thus it has been chalked out judiciously that unless you remain clean from within, the problem of fat getting deposited in the body cells cannot be prohibited. Some cleansing techniques have to be adopted to clear out the waste and the used materials disallowing them to make niche within the body.

Major problems of indigestion are related to human colon. This is a critical area that leads to different diseases like colitis and even takes the shape of cancer. Interestingly this colon is also involved in putting extra pounds to your body weight. An unclean colon can greatly affect the mass-weight index of the body.

What do you mean by cleaning up of colon? This is a process, which helps to wash out all unwanted remains of the food you eat.

In the digestive system, after the cell walls of the intestine absorb the necessary amount of food particles, and the rest unused is ready as the residual matter to be excreted, some still gets clogged in the colon. And this is a very problematic region for those who have a tendency of putting on weight. Especially overweight people ultimately turn to be obese due to such conditions.

colon cleansing can be done in a hospital under the supervision of a colon specialist. There are special devices to conduct this process and you will have to abide by certain direction to undergo it.

Otherwise on daily basis you can get hold of a colon cleanser health food store and have it at the break of the day. This will help you to wash out the last night’s food and make you clear in the morning. Few also take the colon cleanser before switching off to the bed. You can find a convenient way and adapt it. The clinical procedure can be followed at regular intervals of time.

The pace of the modern life has forced us to make considerable adjustments and compromises and the effects of these are borne mostly by our body. Modern life is about fast foods which are highly processed. It is also about sitting in front of your monitor with little or no exercise throughout the day. What this leads to is a degeneration of our health over a period of time. Our dietary habits makes it sure that our digestive system is always on the overdrive with the colon being dumped with waste more than it is capable of handling.

Such being the scenario many people are turning towards colon cleansing as a one time solution for the problem. With every waste material flushed out of the system you can start life afresh. As more and more people get interested about the benefits and the process of colon cleansing a lot of information has also started to circulate on the net. Much of the information is about getting the perfect recipe for colon cleansing.

There are many websites that provide you homemade colon cleansing recipes. And most of the websites do it for free. However, before you read one such recipe and go out shopping for the ingredients, there are two things you should be mindful of. First, the internet is open to all. So anybody and we mean absolutely anybody can put up a recipe for colon cleansing. How wise would it be to trust such a recipe? Secondly, some recipes do come with certain ingredients which are available to only one vendor. What this means is that although the recipe is free, to make the thing you will need to buy a product which you are not too sure of.

So before you settle for a colon cleansing recipe make sure that the author who has provided it has the necessary expertise and the kind of ingredients that have been suggested are regarded as good colon cleansers over a significant period of time.

The human body is complex and that is why to understand it properly, one has to invest quite a few years in learning medicine. So when you are treating a part of that body – and that too the colon, you should be doubly sure before you try anything. Be sure that in an effort of doing good to your body, you do not unwittingly cause damage to it.

When you enroll for a colon cleansing program you generally have to visit your therapist for 10 to 12 times over a period of two months. The length of the program or the frequency of visits may vary according to each program. What we will do here is give you a description of what actually happens during any one such visit.

First the patient has to lie on a table in the fetal position. While he is in this position the therapist will insert a plastic tube trough the anus. After the tube has been inserted properly the patient is asked to roll over gently without disturbing the tube. Then purified water is pumped through the tube into the patient’s colon. If you are going for this therapy, you might feel a bit weird. The uncomfortable sensation increases as the pressure of the water flow builds. And the strange feeling recedes only when the pumping of the water is stopped.

As the patient lies on the table with his knees bent he can actually see all the stuff that comes out from his colon through the transparent tube. In fact all the waste is then transferred through another larger clear tube which is illuminated so that the therapist can inspect the floating material more clearly.

As the stuff comes out of the patient’s colon, the therapist massages his colon sometimes by pressing and at other times pulling near his lower abdomen area. This is done so that all the waste matter that has been accumulated inside the colon is released. The massage is generally repeated thrice during a session.

Each session generally lasts for something around 45 minutes to an hour. Once the tube is removed from the patient’s body he is advised to spend some time in the toilet to see if any extra fluid is left to be removed.

If you are planning to go for a colon cleansing program make sure that you have no important work lined up after the first day’s session. This is because generally it has been seen that cleansing the colon for the first time can be quite taxing on the body. So one should actually keep aside the following day to take rest and recover from the effects of the therapy. However subsequent sessions generally don’t make you feel so tired. It is just the first time round that you face such issues.

It is important for your overall health to occasionally detoxify your body. As your body’s toxic levels increase, stress and other harmful factors can limit your enjoyment of everyday life. Often people who need a detoxify treatment experience less energy and have decreased brain function.

Detoxification is the process by which a person attempts to rid his or her body of harmful and addictive substances, usually alcohol or drugs. Most health practitioners recommend a detoxification at least once a year and some alternative medicine advocates suggest even more regular then that. Detoxifying the body also helps expel potentially carcinogenic heavy metals.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to detoxify is through colon cleansing. Colon cleansing or colon hydrotherapy can be performed in many ways, but the preferred way seems to be through a combination of methods. Colon detox cleansing includes the intake of juices, broth and herbs as well as holistic treatments, sauna, yoga postures and meditation. Plenty of rest and relaxation is also advised. There are also many cleansing products on the market today that can help you in your cleansing efforts. It is important to look for a product that provides and diet plan as well as a cleansing formula.

There are side affects to colon cleansing so be sure to discuss it with your doctor before you try any treatment. Side affects are usually minimal and subside with 5-7 days depending on how quick the detoxification process occurred.

A detoxification program helps bring the body back to a clean and healthy state and the energy spent on digestion now becomes available for other bodily functions such as the mind.

Once you have cleansed your colon you should strive to maintain and healthy diet and stay away from processed foods, drugs or alcohol. You will feel healthier and happier then you have in a long time.

Medical Benefits of Colon Cleansing

A healthy colon is essential to good health, which makes colon cleansing a must.  Everything we eat winds up in our bowels as toxins.  And as these toxins build up, one can find themselves with diseases or disorders associated with the colon such as obesity, constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or colon cancer.  Can Colon Cleansing be the medical solution to keeping the colon clean and healthy?

What Does Our Colon Do?

The colon is a large tube for solid wastes.  It is the part of the large intestine that extends to the rectum, allowing for the elimination of solid waste from the body.  The colon is indirectly or directly related to all organs in the body. 

Poisons and toxins cane be absorbed into the bloodstream via the colon, due to the buildup of old waste matter that is not properly eliminated.  Toxic poisons are usually the result of putrefactive foods traveling too slowly, due to blockage or constipation in the intestine.  These toxins could eventually burden every vital organ and cell.  Simple observation of feces provides valuable guidelines to help assess your daily diet.

What Are the Medical Benefits of Colon Cleansing?

An unhealthy colon is one in which fecal matter has built up on the walls and within the cells.  This fecal matter then becomes encrusted in the colon, slowing down the passage of stools. Left untreated, fecal matter would continue to build up, putrefying and poisoning your entire system.  Regular colon cleansing can assist in removing undigested waste and hardened fecal mater blocking the passageway of the colon.  Consequently, waste is allowed to pass unobstructed through the system, preventing or alleviating the development of constipation.

Colon cleansing has been known to help with a variety of problems, such as: colon blockage, bloating, white blood cell production, blood purification, bacteria removal, as well as the prevention of gallstone production.  Additionally, colon cleansing can help control blood pressure, restore pH balance, restore proper digestion, and reduce odors.  One surprising benefit of colon cleansing is weight loss after treatment, since it is not unusual for colon cleansing to flush away as much as ten to thirty pounds of stagnant fecal matter.

There are many medical benefits to colon cleansing.  Whether you perform the procedure n the privacy of your home, or rely on a medical professional.  As with any procedure or regimen, consult a doctor before engaging in any prolonged efforts to cleanse the colon.

Constipation, gas, and bloating are among the reasons that people use colon cleansing kits to give them relief.  At a time when colon cancer is at an all-time high, people worry when their digestive systems don’t function in the way they were designed to.  Many people have become proponents of using colon cleansing kits to clean and detoxify their bodies.

The list of symptoms believed to be caused by a toxic colon is so long that it is difficult to determine that this is the source of your problem.  If you are having digestive problems that are worsening or won’t go away, you should see a physician to eliminate any serious illnesses that may be causing your symptoms.  Once you have eliminated any serious concern, get a colon cleansing kit and take matters into your own hands.

There are a lot of colon cleansing kits on the market and you should make sure you sure one that is made by a reputable company.  For every legitimate product made, there is at least one product that is a scam.  Research the company that makes the colon cleansing kit you are interested in to make sure that have a good reputation for providing quality products.

Important Components in a Colon Cleansing Kit

Not all colon cleansing kits are created equally.  First and foremost, your colon cleansing kit should contain fiber that will help to eliminate waste from your colon.  The colon is the last part of the digestive system and it is responsible for pushing waste from your body.  Fiber is the ingredient you need in your diet to keep your colon in working order and it is the ingredient you need in a colon cleansing kit to get rid of the built up waste.

An anti-parasitic should be in your colon cleansing kit, as well.  Among many human parasites, a large number of them live in the intestine where they thrive on human waste.  A good anti-parasitic will flush the parasites out of your body.  Since these range in size from microscopic to several feet in length, you may or may not be aware of passing parasites out of your body during a cleansing.

Last, but not least, a good colon cleansing kit will contain pro-biotics, which will encourage growth of good bacteria.  These should be included as a separate step that you will use after the colon cleansing.  The good bacteria that are necessary in your digestive tract will be flushed out along with the toxins from your body and they need to be replaced after the cleansing.

Many find it hard to cope with IBS symptoms as they can be pretty disruptive. If you have been feeling rather moody, then there are ways that you can do to help alleviate the symptoms that you are experiencing. These treatments not only include drug medications but alternative treatments as well.

Colon cleansing is one such alternative treatment. There are a couple of ways that you can perform colon cleansing. An increasingly popular method is known as colon hydrotherapy. This method is reportedly effective for constipation and bloating symptoms of IBS.

Colon hydrotherapy helps to flush out the waste accumulated in your digestive system that is causing your IBS symptoms. During this process, warm sterile water is inserted into your rectum and your intestines. By flushing out the toxin build up from your body, your digestive system has a chance to work normally again. In addition to alleviating IBS symptoms, colon hydrotherapy can bring about other benefits such as reducing chronic fatigue, treat skin disorders as well as result in overall improvement in health.

Contrary to what most people expect, colon hydrotherapy is not supposed to be a painful procedure. Still, there may be some degree of discomfort that you may experience during the process. A skilled practitioner should be able to minimize as much discomfort as possible by applying massage techniques to your abdomen. Also, knowing what to expect from him can help relieve some of your anxieties. So be sure to get a complete understanding in your consultation.

Once having undergone colon hydrotherapy, you should be better able to control of your IBS symptoms. You will also be in a much better position when you make small changes in your life at this time. For example, you can make some dietary changes making sure that your IBS symptoms do not return. If you find no relief from your colon hydrotherapy session, then you should check with your physician to ensure that you are really not suffering from another illness.

Many do find that colon hydrotherapy can create a big reduction in the incidence of their IBS symptoms. Your muscles in the digestive system are able to relax much better, thus allowing food to be more easily digestible. Hence, it is worth considering colon hydrotherapy a treatment option especially if you find it hard to cope with your IBS symptoms.

To obtain maximum benefits from colon hydrotherapy, you will need the assistance of an experienced practitioner. Find a suitable clinic in your locality and/or ask your physician for a recommendation to a good one.

The health of your colon is an imperative factor which needs to be considered by everyone. Though the concept isn’t something new, but it definitely has gained paramount importance due to its excellent behavior; the health of your colon is a determinant factor that contributes to a disease free body.

The colon is basically the waste disposal system of our body. It acts almost like a sewer well designed to capture as well as remove all the toxic materials, wastes and bacteria from your internal system. If there is an obstruction in this system and it gets impaired somehow or it slows down, the bacteria and the toxins then would settle down in the stomach, thus causing potential, damage to the system and contaminating the whole body. Colon health aficionados are of the opinion that if your can rapidly flush out all toxic wastes from your body, the better would be your chances to have a disease free body. It would lessen the probabilities of any form of contamination and would also prevent all your associated health problems.

Also, a poor colon health can prevent the absorption of nutrition properly. If your bowel movements have been clogged by waste matter which could not be eliminated properly due to various factors; these wastes tend to stick to the colon walls and bowel. This in turn leads to the formation of a layer of all these sticky wastes which prevents the passage of the vitamins and nutrients through the wall of the colon to your body for further use.

The best and the only way to maintain your colon health is to keep flushing those toxins out from the body. It is basically the process of cleaning the system. Some people advocate the fact that colon cleansing must be done every year and for a few times as well. Colon cleansing can also be done with every change of season to allow the system to adapt with the seasonal changes. Colon cleansing can be carried out by flushing your colon thoroughly with a typical irrigation procedure which is known as “enema”. Water is a great colon flush and you can clean your colon naturally by having plenty of water and other liquids such as herbal tea or green tea. These products have laxative effect which is very natural and helpful for your system.

The heath of your colon determines your well being. If you don’t have a happy colon you would be facing several health issues like gas, acidity, anxiety, poor bowel movements, constipation, loss of appetite and so on and so forth. The list is endless. But there are a handful of natural ways to keep your colon healthy and you can perfectly handle this without any medication.

The first step is to supply lots of water to your system. Constipation can be caused by hard and dry stools and this means that the toxins are not being removed from your system properly. If you can drink ample amount of water, this problem would be relieved. Proper diet also becomes essential. You need to have lots and lots of fiber. Fiber can be found in vegetables and other foods and are the best for a good and a healthy colon. Remember that your colon needs loads and loads of fiber everyday.

Apart from that, you need to provide your body with laxatives. Instead of taking over-the-counter laxatives containing additives and preservatives, you must have individual herbs like Slippery Elm, Chlorophyll and Chickweed.

A healthy colon is the way to a healthy body and mind.

This article will outline the various types of herbs and natural plants that can be used for colon cleansing and body detoxifying. This is not to be taken as professional medical advice. Please consult your physician before doing anything you are unsure of.

Herbs play a pivotal role in detoxifying the body from waste and toxins. The techniques form an important part of herbal colon cleansing tips. Herbal medicines have gained ground in the last 5 or so years when numbers of researches have been carried out to emphasize the benefits arising from herbs.

Psyllium
It is a gel-reducing fiber used by variety of colon cleansing programs as a tool to prevent colon cancer. This is because of the simple fact that dietary habit of people at present mostly consists of meat products, fats and sugar that are very low in fiber content. These types of food slow down the intestinal transit time, which in turn leads to irregular bowel movements.

Colon Cleansing Materials
There are innumerable types of colon-cleansing materials that are easily available at stores or online. Water, juices, raw fruits and vegetables are commonly used materials for fasting. According to experts, fasting is one of the exciting routes of cleaning the colon, because it gives rise to the self-digestion of most impure materials in addition to some of the metabolic waste present in the intestine.

Herbs and Vitamins
A number of herbs and vitamins, which are not laxatives in nature, are readily available in the market for the purpose of colon cleansing. The best part about these medications is that they are free from any side effects. You will feel fresh and relaxed after having a colon cleansing through herbs and vitamins.

If you are interested in getting a clean and healthy body for a longer time, then efficient colon cleanses are an absolute necessity. Herbs play a pivotal part in implementing a mild colon cleansing. They help in removing fecal matter, prevent toxin formation, and most importantly lead to death of the harmful bacteria and parasites.

Herbs present in the traditional colon cleansing recipes are authenticated by numerous experts in the field and all have come out with one notion that all these herbs have liver cleansing and cathartic actions. Aloe leaf, ginger, and cayenne pepper remove impurities from the colon by stimulating bowel movements. Herbal colon cleansing is one of the best methods, since this method is free from side effects.

When we are talking about colon cleansing we are not just referring to cleaning your colon but basically to clean the entire system. When your colon starts accumulating wastes more than it could handle, the bloodstreams near to it absorb the toxins produced in the colon and circulate it all over the body. When you have your colon cleansed you get rid of the problem of toxins.

So when should you go for a colon cleansing?

Although generally most people think about colon cleansing only when they have constipation, it can also be a solution for other problems like stomach pain, acidity or gas. But before you decide to go for your colon cleansing it is advisable to consult your doctor. This is because all our constitutions are different and there might be some issues with your health which wouldn’t approve of a colon cleansing. Since your doctor knows your body best, he will be the one to judge you better. Although colon cleansing by itself is not harmful but for certain people it is a strict no-no like pregnant women and nursing mothers and also children.

It is a fact that our colon is meant to store wastes and eliminate them only when it requires to. The colon can store anything between 5 to 25 pounds of waste at a time. But with years of neglect, the colon stops working properly and more waste get buried. If you can eliminate them you are ensured a comfortable and healthy body.

It would be difficult to get your physician prescribe you a regular laxative because these are only used before carrying out examinations like ultra-sonography or x-ray. However, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to lay hands on alternate medicines which work as colon cleansers. These are generally made from herbs and are quite potent in their action. In fact they are so strong that you begin to get results in 6 to 12 hours. And you would have to make regular visits to the toilet for the next couple of days.

But consuming these herbs regularly is not an option. There are chiefly two reasons to it. First of all, these herbs contain substances which can have serious side effects over a period of time. Then there is also the problem of getting dependent on the drug which is never a good sign. So take them only when you have to.

Herbal cleansing has become very popular in the world today and comes in many different forms. One can go to an alternative health clinic for advanced forms of herbal cleansing or simply take herbal supplements at home.

There are many products on the market in the form of pills or powders with various herbal combinations depending on the particular type of cleansing you wish to undertake.

One can take herbs to cleanse the liver, kidneys, and other vital organs. The most popular form of herbal cleansing however, is to clean the intestines. The purpose behind herbal cleansing is to remove wastes and toxins from the body so cleansing the intestines is the logical choice.

An efficiently functioning digestive tract will help support and nourish the body. Properly formulated herbal supplements can assist the elimination of wastes and improve the assimilation of nutrients in the body.

Many alternative health practitioners believe that ill health begins in the colon and the first step in preventing and treating disease is to cleanse the digestive tract. Our modern diet of heavily processed food along with sedentary lifestyles contributes to the accumulation of waste products in the colon and a sluggish digestive system.

Herbal cleansing help restore the body to its normal state of being able to repair itself and ward off disease. Some claim that herbal cleansing remedies can help rid the body of parasites which could be responsible for a variety of diseases.

Another claim of herbal cleansing products is that the herbs help to loosen old material in the intestines and allow it to pass out of the body. In addition, some herbs may help to tone the bowels to allow them to function more normally to aid in the rapid elimination of wastes.

There are actually many varieties of herbal supplements on the market today and the function will depend upon which herbs are used in the product. You can easily find herbal cleansing products at your local health food store. You can also shop for them online where you will be assured of having access to a huge variety of products and be able to research them and then compare prices before you buy.

When buying herbs it is important to buy quality standardized herbal preparations. It is usually not a good idea to buy herbal supplements based on price alone. Stick with well known and respected name brands and if you have any questions, consult your physician or alternative healthcare provider for medical advice.

If you currently are on prescription medication or have an illness, it is particularly important to talk with your doctor before adding herbal supplements to your diet as some herbs may react with your medications.

An increasing number of people are diagnosed with colon cancer and research studies are now underway on finding a treatment and ways on how best to prevent it from developing. Colon cancer usually starts in the large intestine and from dead cells that have been accumulated in a lump over a period of time. You are at greater risk to getting colon cancer if you have a genetic medical history of parents or close relatives who have been diagnosed with colon cancer. Research also showed that that colon cancer can be triggered by unhealthy diets such as processed foods.

Early detection is key to recovery. Hence, it is vital that you seek the advice of your doctor should you feel the discomfort of colon cancer symptoms. The symptoms to keep a watch for include unhealthy bowel occurrence such as diarrhea, constipation or bowel infection, severe pain in abdomen, blood in the stools, narrow stools, anemia and drastic loss of weight.

Obviously, it is best to adopt colon cancer prevention ways rather than be diagnosed and then seeking for a treatment for it. Here are 5 easy on how best to prevent colon cancer:

1.Instill healthy habits. Colon cancer usually takes time to develop. Hence you should not wait till you notice the symptoms of colon cancer before starting to adopt healthy habits. Healthy habits include having balanced diet, regular exercise and ensuring that you have an adequate amount of sleep.

Additionally, you should definitely think of including more fiber in your diet. Fat accumulates on the walls of the intestine and rectum. These form lumps of dead cells which can pose a threat to you. For fiber, ensure that your diet includes lots of green vegetables, fruits and water.

Make it a point to exercise a few times a week. Exercise is wonderful for flushing out harmful toxins and waste matter. If they are left accumulated in your body, the toxins can cause cancerous growth.

2. You should take note of your family medical history, since colon cancer is a genetic disease that is hereditary. If you really do belong to the high risk category due to your family history, then all the more you should take extra precautions by leading a lifestyle based on wellness.

3. Quit smoking. Chain smoking raises your chance to developing colon cancer. Inhaling tobacco can easily transfer carcinogen (a cancer agent) to your colon and rectum, thus resulting in colon cancer. Smoking also brings about many other health threats. Hence, you should quit smoking as a top priority.

4. Reduce exposure to radiation. Excessive exposure to radiation has been found to cause colon cancer. Radiation rays are harmful and can cause healthy normal cells to be abnormal. You should make it a point to avoid unnecessary X-rays, CT scans, mammograms.

5. If you find yourself having symptoms like eczema, frequent flu, allergies, weak immune system, poor movement of bowels, low energy levels, bloating, etc, then these signs may be indicative of too much toxins in your body. The only way to get rid of these toxins is to perform colon cleansing before they pose a problem. There are a few ways to perform colon cleansing; including consuming colon cleansing herbs and colon hydrotherapy. You can consult with a natural health expert for more detailed advice.

If you think that too much of unwanted toxins have accumulated inside your colon it may be time for you to go for a colon cleanse. Excess of waste matter in your colon can cause you to feel sick and depressed. On the other hand a clean colon will make you feel healthier and happier. So if you want a better life and make the most of it then get your colon cleansed.

One of the great benefits of having your colon cleansed is to lose excess weight. Of course having your colon cleaned will reduce your weight directly by quite a few pounds. But a clean colon will mean that you would be able to digest your food better. So you would no longer feel uncomfortable and would tend to stay away from junk foods. Since a major cause of binging is depression and having a clean colon helps you stay happy and cheerful, there is less chance of you going for a binging bout.

It must be understood that our country has the most number of reported cases of colon cancer among both men and women. This should obviously tell us to take extra care of our colon. colon cleansing is a very important part of that process of care. As you are more aware of your colon health you will reduce the chances of colon cancer by that much.

A clean colon also has a very positive effect on your mind. You will no longer feel tired or depressed. You will remain always cheerful and there would be renewed interest in life. You will once again be ready to do things which you would have been afraid of lately. In fact it is told that having a clean colon also improves one’s sex drive.

Eliminating waste from your body can also ensure that you will have less of aches and pains. The toxins produced by the waste matter are often held responsible for headaches. You will no longer need to worry about those headaches any more. Get your colon cleansed and such headaches will be a thing of the past.

Undergoing a colon cleansing program will also make you look good with a skin that will glow and feel much better. The effects of ageing are significantly reduced if you go for colon cleansing. After the process you will not only feel younger, you will look much younger too.

The concept of cleansing the colon has been there for sometime now. In fact if we go back in time, the very first mention of colon cleansing can be traced as far back as the Egyptian civilization. In fact the Egyptians believed that the root of all physical ailments can be traced back to the colon. So, most of the treatment that they practiced was targeted in getting the colon work properly.

Practitioners of conventional medicine strongly disagree with such a theory. However, what modern practitioners of alternative medicine tend to put across is that even if not all physical ailments can be traced to an unclean colon, a significant number of diseases are caused because of an unclean colon. There are also a number of people who report a remarkable improvement in their health after a colon cleansing.

The concept of cleansing the colon has been there for sometime now. In fact if we go back in time, the very first mention of colon cleansing can be traced as far back as the Egyptian civilization. In fact the Egyptians believed that the root of all physical ailments can be traced back to the colon. So, most of the treatment that they practiced was targeted in getting the colon work properly.

That colon is responsible for a number of diseases is because a lot of waste matter gets accumulated in the colon and when they are not eliminated in time they start producing these toxins which again get absorbed by the bloodstreams running close to the walls of the colon.

If we just look at the local effects of the toxin we will find that they cause considerable amount of irritation and inflammation of the colon. The reaction to these can be diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, headaches, dull eyes, poor skin, spots, aching muscles, joint pains, and depression. But it is not the local effects that we are worried about. The toxins also get circulated to all parts of the body through the blood via the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is there to reach those parts of the body where the blood vessels don’t and nourish the cells there. It also kills harmful organisms and acts as a carrier of waste matter. The body can fight against toxins being circulated. But the level to which it can actually put up a resistance has its own limits. After a certain point of time it is forced to give up and the diseases start to creep in.

The toxins are also responsible for the condition of diverticulosis. This is a disease when pouches begin to form on the walls of the colon. The pouches also trap food within it which turn to breeding grounds for harmful bacteria. Diverticulosis can cause fever and lead to acute abdominal pain.

Colon cleansers are quite simply food, laxatives or procedures, such as a colonic, used to stimulate the bowels into action producing a bowel movement.

Colon cleansers are thought by some to provide relief from toxins that fill our bodies while others believe that colon cleaners are nonsense and a complete waste of time. Some even believe that colon cleansers are harmful to the body as the colon itself was designed to handle a variety of bacteria and works quite naturally.

For those supporters of colon cleansing, it is believed that colon cleaners are good for conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, chronic fatigue, acid reflux (GERD), and even skin and hair problems.

Since most digestive problems are caused by a toxic build-up in the body, it is essential to flush the body of all toxic chemicals. This can only be done effectively with a colon cleanser.

In order to establish a healthy colon, you must regularly clean your colon just like you wash your body or brush your teeth. Food or products meant for colon cleansing are designed to cleanse and scrub the colon ridding the body of the toxins built up and ultimately leading to a healthier and “cleaner” life.

Colon cleansing must be done regularly and often since we are constantly taking in more food which leads to additional build up of toxic waste in the colon.

A common method of colon cleansing is to use specific herbs designed to stimulate action and the colon and get your bowels to move.

A commonly used herb for colon cleansing is senna. It is important to remember that you should not begin a colon cleansing or take herbs without first checking with your physician. At the time of this writing, the use of senna has not been evaluated for use by the FDA but has been used widely for years in more cultural and traditional settings, as opposed to Western medicine, to deal with issues such as constipation or desired colon cleansings.

Besides an herbal supplement colon cleansing other types of colon cleansers include colonics, enemas and cleansing through fasting.

Once you have begun a colon cleansing it is critical to begin to introduce good bacteria into your digestive system. This can be accomplished easily by taking probiotics supplements.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that when taken may improve the microflora of the intestines.

Advocates of colon cleansing believe that once the colon has been cleansed and probiotics have been replaced then the last step is to begin to take herbs, vitamins and minerals and amino acids to completely detoxify every cell in your body.

Once your body has been “cleansed” it is important to prevent your body from becoming toxic again and a healthy way to do so is take a dietary fiber supplement on a regular basis.

Other things that help to maintain a healthy colon include taking probiotics, eating high-fiber diet and daily exercise program.

So do your homework, talk with your physician and decide if colon cleansing is for you.

Colon can be told to be one of the most important organs of the body. There is why: the colon is more than 5 feet long and is connected through the nerves with almost every inner organ of the body. The health of the colon influences the health of the entire body, because of the colon function. And the colon function is to eliminate waste resulted from the activity of the human body. So, colon problems appear in areas that are unrelated and can have no anatomical connections with the colon.

The colon, or the large bowel, removes the toxins which are present in our body everywhere: inner organs, blood, lymph, etc. The large bowel works in a strong relation with other toxin-removing organs: liver, lungs, kidneys and the biggest human organ: the skin.

If the colon is not working properly, and elimination is not occurring regularly, fecal matter accumulates in the lumen of the large bowel. If elimination is not proper, the accumulated fecal matter is causing the inflammation of the intestinal wall, which results in a spastic or inflamed colon.

Bad evacuation leads to decay. Decay results in even more toxins and harmful gases production. These toxins (gases can be considered toxins too) are reabsorbed in the blood stream and poisons every single cell in the body. As a result different mental and physical health-related effects appear.

The toxins can lead to acne, autoimmune diseases; aggravate the present conditions and diseases such as Candida symptoms.

That is why the colon cleansing has some positive effects on the whole body. It can be used to lose weight, treat Candida, acne, eliminate parasites, and increase the energy.

The colon’s main function is to expel waste and toxins from the body. When not working properly, these toxins can build up, often causing ailments such as constipation, cramping, bloating, gas, headaches, irritability, stress, fatigue, acne, the inability to process nutrients and much more. colon cleansing is a simple and effective way to purify the colon and help get to the root of these symptoms and prevent them even before they start!

So, what exactly causes an unhealthy colon? A poor diet is the leading contributor to toxic buildup within the body. Fast foods and most commercially grown fruits and vegetables contain harmful toxins that can often become trapped in your body. Another cause is old and hardened fecal matter that can actually begin to line the intestinal walls if not expelled properly. The human body is capable of carrying up to 15 pounds of fecal matter in their intestines! Other contributing factors include pollution, unpurified water, weight gain, premature aging and much more.

Danny Vierra, an expert on colon detoxification, has developed a revolutionary product called Almighty Cleanse, which is designed to detoxify your body while boosting your body’s own internal cleansing method. The first of the two-part system is intended to gently remove the toxins and fecal matter from your colon by stimulating your digestive system, and the second helps to expel the waste and toxins, leaving you feeling light, fresh and healthy! For maximum benefit, it is recommended to cleanse your colon 4 times each year, or at the start of each season. This way you will be able to be rid of the toxins before they start to build up, therefore escaping any symptoms of an unhealthy colon.

The health benefits of a properly functioning colon are endless. You will notice a flatter stomach, clearer skin, fresher breath, more energy and stamina. Some benefits that are equally important, but may not be noticed right away, are a healthier immune system and gastrointestinal tissue, lower cholesterol levels and a healthier digestive system. With Almighty Cleanse, you will be able to see and feel the long term benefits of a healthier and more efficient colon right away.

Herbs can certainly help you to stay well. We have considered elsewhere the benefits of Dr Christopher’s herbal ‘cascara compound’ formula, which is chosen by very many people. But lifestyle habits too have a great benefit when you are Colon Cleansing.

The most important areas of lifestyle to consider when you wish to support Colon Cleansing are:

1. Diet
2. Exercise
3. Relaxation.

This article focuses on relaxation — often underestimated in colon cleansing but, as you will see, the state of relaxation of your body can affect the bowel profoundly. Stress can have a tremendous effect on the colon. For example, people who suffer from IBS often have a ‘high stress’ type of personality.

Colon Cleansing And Relaxation

Two common bad habits people often have which build up stress are: overwork, and spending too much time on others and too little on themselves.

These two ‘bad habits’ require a change of behaviour fundamentally. On top of this, herbs can help to support good nerve function by nourishing the nervous system.

To change habits, we suggest you look at your particular patterns of stress. Do you dislike your job? Have you got ongoing relationship issues which need addressing? Are you too keen to say ‘yes’ when you wish you said ‘no’ more often?

These are behavioural issues which it would be wise to address to reduce your stress levels and encourage relaxation. These stresses are not just outside you – they have repercussions inside too; and it is often the bowel which suffers in many cases, hence IBS, for example. So, consider counselling, NLP, hypnotism; read books on changing habits and implement some of these behavioural methods to help you to stress out less and relax more.

Physical Support – eg With Herbs

As opposed to the helping yourself psychologically, on the physical side herbs can strengthen the nerves tremendously and so help you in your efforts to relax.

For example, a 90-day programme of support for the nervous system can be a great way to build and nourish the nerves. Once you have found a herbal regime – such as a 90-day nerve programme – that works for you, you can repeat it, say, once a year. Perhaps you can do this at a time during the year you know you regularly feel low. For example, some people find this beneficial first thing in the New Year, or perhaps before the cold winter weather kicks in.

The nerves affect colon health so strongly, that you must consider nurturing them when you wish to get the best out of Colon Cleansing. So – for the good of your whole health, do look after your nerves. As appropriate, focus on yourself more; build in ‘you’ time; go out; or stay in and read a book. Get a new job; or bring relationship issues into the open.

Address Stress – And Relaxation – As Soon As You Can

These issues can be challenging; but it is your life and your health; sometimes you have to make a difficult move to keep yourself healthy in the long term. This may involve more stress short term to produce less stress long term.

Doctors promote cleansing of the colon to promote good health. If the colon is not working right, toxins must leave the body through other avenues. Bad halitosis, body odor can be taken care of with colon cleansing. Doctors say that cleansing the colon cleanses every tissue and cell in the human body. Toxic matter in the colon can cause colon diseases, headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, lupus, and cardiovascular disease. Cleansing the colon can also get rid of unwanted parasites that our bodies might be harboring. These parasites can come from insect bites, rare meat, vegetables not cleaned properly, and pets and even through sexual activity. In fact, it’s more common to pass on parasites than it is to pass on a venereal disease.

Our body is designed for the bowels to move after every meal. In our western civilization, that is hard to do so we have trained our body to once a day. When our colons become backed up then serious problems can develop. A toxic colon can lead to food intolerance and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Even though you may have regular bowel movements, the waste can pass through the colon and still leave accumulated residue on the walls behind it. A dirty colon can cause the muscles of the colon wall to lose tone, and ballooning or pouches can form causing diverticulosis. Food is trapped in these pouches and become breeding grounds for bacteria.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you may well benefit from colon cleansing. Depression, cold hands or feet, chronic fatigue, endometriosis, circulation problems, memory loss, low sex drive, gas, insomnia, irritability, allergies, body odor and bad breath. Brittle nails and hair, blood pressure, memory loss and inability to concentrate are also a few more symptoms of colon toxins.

How do you clean out the colon? There are several different ways, some that will do it quickly and some gradually. There is even colonic irrigation that is very quick and an efficient way to wash away years of impacted feces and toxins.

A more gradual process will do the same thing, but you will begin to see improvements within a short time after starting the process. Skin problems disappear, chronic fatigue is alleviated, and the whites of the eyes regain their youthful clearness. The gradual process takes a period of several weeks, with the patient starting out eating raw food as 50 percent of their diet. By adding two teaspoonfuls of Metamucil or Citrucel and drinking a lot of water can get you started on your colon cleansing. Water is an important part of the cleansing. Some people believe they shouldn’t drink a lot of water because they tend to retain fluids. The opposite is true. The body retains the fluids because it isn’t getting enough fluid and tries to hang on to what it gets. The recommendation is to drink two quarts of water a day and start the day with at least a pint of hot water before breakfast.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be helped with a colon cleansing. I can personally attest to that, as I was required to do a bowel cleansing before having a colonoscopy. I had suffered for years with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, I was terrified to eat at fairs or street festivals, or eat and then get right in a car to travel. After going through three days of fasting and laxatives and foul tasting stuff to drink, I had my test. Nothing was found, but the result was that I felt wonderful and had no Irritable Bowel Attacks for over three years after I had my test. I’m not saying it was a pleasant experience to go through as it wasn’t the gradual process described above, but it did leave me feeling great and totally rejuvenated.

There are supplements available that are designed specifically for colon cleansing. These come in capsule form and are not too expensive. They can be found at any drugstore or natural food store.

It’s been said that a positive effect of colon cleansing is a positive feeling and becoming extremely energetic. Reducing the toxins and the breeding ground for germs also can result in a dramatic increasing in immunity from any type of infection.

Although colon therapy has existed in some form since antiquity (ancient Egyptians have been documented to use enemas), modern colon cleansing is a relatively new idea. Some may therefore wonder if cleansing is really necessary, when for thousands of years people lived perfectly well without it.

The fact is, a colon cleanse is unnecessary – if you eat a perfect diet. In previous centuries, there were no chemical pesticides and fertilizers, no processed foods, no refined carbohydrates or artificially saturated fats. People ate far less animal protein, and far more fiber. They maintained a diet that kept their colons healthy, and therefore had no need for intervention in the form of cleansing. Today, things are sadly very different.

Our bodies are designed to consume natural foods, and food is therefore most beneficial to us when it’s eaten in its purest (most natural) form. Every time we refine, filter, saturate, preserve, irradiate, pasteurize, sweeten, homogenize, or otherwise “improve” our food, we are actually destroying vital nutrition in our food. When we eat dead food, our body has no idea what to do with it. Unable to even recognize it as food, the colon views it as a contaminant and starts to produce mucous to trap it. But, with the constant buildup of more and more material, our body is unable to keep up; all that mucous and undigested food eventually just gets stuck.

According to the US Health Service, more than 90% of Americans have a clogged colon. This staggering statistic is a clear demonstration that colon cleansing should be an urgent priority for every single American. Our colons are design to eliminate waste, and if they get clogged, all that waste builds up inside our bodies. Imagine what a clogged toilet would look like if you continued to defecate in it. Disgusting? Of course – and that’s what’s happening inside you when your colon is clogged!

A colon cleanse is the modern, natural solution to a modern, unnatural problem. But it’s not the whole solution. Poor diet leads to many more problems than just a clogged colon: all of your internal organs are stressed. Although colon cleansing can make you feel lighter and more energetic immediately, and may have other effects as well, it is no substitute for healthy food and exercise. On the other hand, diet and exercise are not enough to clear your colon once the problem has started. And with the difficulty of sticking 100% to natural foods, regular colon cleansing provides needed maintenance for those times when we slip a bit.

The way we lead our lives these days and the kind of food we have, it is no wonder that our colon is burdened with more than it can cope with. With the tendency towards having highly processed food, one of the most critical elements of our diet fiber is being left out. The result has been in many cases irregular bowel movements, constipation, severe stomach aches etc. And there is always the complain of indigestion. To counter such problems many people are seeking an alternative in colon cleansing.

The chief function of our colon is to drive away the waste material and bacteria inside our body and absorb water along with mineral salts so that the fluid and electrolyte balance is maintained. When a colon, because of impacted fecal matter cannot perform these functions normally, toxins are created inside our body which can spread all through our body and may be absorbed by the fluids inside our body.

Colon cleansing is not something new and has been there since the times of the Egyptian civilization when colon was thought to be the cause of all ailments. The idea was pretty popular even during Restoration England. There has been a renewed interest in colon cleansing in the recent years. Colon cleansing is performed to keep the colon completely free of any toxic substances. It is also ensured that the colon retains its proper shape and size and can function at its optimal levels.

As colon cleansing drives away the impacted material from the body it becomes much easier for the stomach to digest what we eat. After colon cleansing the digestive tract is at its best condition with no more troubles to deal with. So digestion becomes easier.

Whenever we eat something it has to pass through the digestive tract. As it passes through the stomach and the small intestine secretions from the pancreas, liver, stomach and the intestine ensure that the food is broken into its component parts, these parts would be carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Once the food is broken into its components the bloodstreams near the intestine and the stomach absorb the components and carry them over to different parts of the body where the cells derive energy from them.

Now we understand why colon cleansing is imperative in helping you digest better. So, if you are having trouble in digesting, you know what to do.

Colon cleansing is the process of introducing gentle jets of water into the large intestine for washing away waste matter and toxins. But is colon cleansing safe and what exactly does it involve? Preserving colon health is imperative for many reasons, with the most important being the role of the large intestine in evacuating organic waste from the body. Roughly the shape of a large letter “M”, the colon ranges in length from between four and a half to five and a half feet and is about two and a half inches wide. While the small intestine is wedged between the stomach and liver, the colon stops at the anus.

The colon is the portion of the digestive tract responsible for temporarily holding waste before it exits the body. Substandard colon health can impede the body’s ability to properly dispose of waste. In fact, a contaminated colon can potentially lead to other medical conditions including:

• Digestive Disorder
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Problem Skin (acne)
• Fatigue

When properly administered, colon cleansing has proven to be very safe, especially with recent updates in equipment and technique. Enemas were the old-fashioned answer to the colon cleansing dilemma. Unfortunately, enemas are also to blame for many concerns over colon cleansing safety. Enemas differ from bowel irrigation in their value; enemas typically cleanse only the lower 20% of the colon. With roughly eighty percent of the large intestine left untreated by an enema, the procedure doesn’t provide the same effectiveness as modern colon hydrotherapy. Some of the health benefits associated with colonic irrigation:

• Removal of Trapped Fecal Matter
• Expulsion of harmful bacteria
• Encouraged growth of beneficial intestinal flora
• Improved colorectal muscular activity
• Expulsion of harmful organisms

Other than water irrigation, many variations of digestive health treatments have emerged with colon cleansing being the chief aim. In fact, you can now obtain colon cleansing supplements featuring organic compounds to help the colon cleanse and heal itself. For example, Oxy-Powder® works by activating oxygen within the intestinal tract and is an excellent choice for helping to maintain colon efficiency along with your colon hydrotherapy sessions. Even though colon hydrotherapy has existed for years, the ultimate question remains—is colon cleansing safe?

Frequent colon cleansing Safety Concerns

When it comes to the question of safety, there are a number of common colon cleansing concerns:

• Pain: Some individuals base their decisions on a simple idea—does it hurt? Colon hydrotherapy is routinely described as “reinvigorating” or “refreshing.”
• Penetration of Treatments: Just how deeply the colon cleansing apparatus enters the body is another top safety concern. Enemas affect only the first eight to twelve inches of the colon. Colon cleansing treatments penetrate more deeply so as to provide a thorough cleansing for the entire length of the colon, but are relatively safe if administered by a hydrotherapy specialist.
• Risk of Infection: Perhaps one of the biggest concerns with colon cleansing concerns potential exposure to harmful bacteria and viruses. Modern advances in colon cleansing equipment, like the use of disposable pre-sterilized hoses and tips, help ensure a germ-free colon cleansing experience.

But Is Colon Cleansing Safe?

Colon irrigation promotes no direct side effects. Nonetheless, the process of eliminating toxins can cause some minor intestinal problems. Once the mucous buildup begins to leave the body, minute amounts may be reabsorbed along the way. The toxin absorption can result in cold or flue like symptoms (which may include nausea, headaches, and dizziness) but will ultimately reverse itself once the outflow diminishes. In fact, getting rid of all that toxic debris can lead to increased energy, mental clarity, and overall feelings of wellbeing.

Proper Colon Cleansing

Variations in bowel irrigation techniques also promote increased safety. For example, modern hydrotherapy systems, like colon cleansing board kits, utilize temperature-controlled water for cleansing the colon. Recent developments include a specially designed speculum to assist in delivering the water into the large intestine gently to reduce the possibility of tissue damage. Additionally, colon hydrotherapy equipment also maintains the water pressure and temperature so the cleansing is conducted at a uniform rate. Therefore, via a combination of advancements in material technology and the application of the cleansing by a professional, you can be assured colon cleansing can be a very safe procedure indeed!

Before we go into the details of who actually should consider going for a colon cleansing it is better to understand what colon cleansing is and what are the different methods in which it can be achieved.

Colon cleansing is not something new and its roots can be traced back to as far as the Egyptian civilization when colon was thought to be the cause of all ailments. The idea was pretty much in vogue even during Restoration England. There has been a renewed interest in colon cleansing in the recent years. colon cleansing is performed to keep the colon completely free of any toxic substances. It is also ensured that the colon retains its proper shape and size and can function at its optimal levels.

Today colon cleansing is possible following different methods.

Colon Hydrotherapy

One of the most effective ways of getting your colon cleansed is to go for colon hydrotherapy. This process involves the insertion of a tube through your anus into the colon. Plenty of pure water is poured into the colon through the tube to flush out the contents of the colon. This is a natural method and doesn’t involve any use of drugs. A colon hydrotherapy program would require you to attend 10 to 12 sessions over a period of two months, each session spanning for something around 45 to 60 minutes.

Herbal Laxatives

The colon cleanse herbs and the herbal laxatives claim to be harmless and position themselves as alternatives to commercial laxatives. They further their claim saying that since they are natural, they are safe. The herbs are generally very strong and they start showing results in 6 to 12 hours time after consumption. They should be had only in moderate amounts as a prolonged use can have serious side effects.

Oxygen-based Mixture

There is another form of natural colon cleanser which is available today in the market. It is an oxygen based formula. The mixture reacts chemically with the hydrochloric acid present in our stomach. After the chemical reaction takes place the fecal matter, also known as the plaque, would melt into a liquid and gas. This then can be easily expelled.

So who needs to go for a colon cleansing.

An unclean colon can be the cause of several ailments like indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, body odor, acne, mucus colitis, gas, fatigue, obesity etc. If you are suffering from any of these problems you can give colon cleansing a shot.

Whenever the subject of colon cleansing comes up, some people are quick to condemn the various methods and trivialize the results before they have all the facts. The truth is, that although colon cleansing is a relatively new idea, and one that has not yet been “scientifically” proven, the number of people who have reported positive results from cleansing cannot be ignored.

Critics often state that colon cleansing is completely ineffective. While it is true that the benefits of cleansing have never been proven in a double-blind study, many people have reported positive results after just one cleanse. Those who cleanse regularly often report even more outstanding successes. There is simply no easy way to dismiss the stories of people who have cleansed and experienced dramatic and sudden improvements in their health.

Others claim that colon cleansing is unnecessarily expensive, but a treatment like Almighty Cleanse is actually very inexpensive, costing a little more than fifty cents per day.

It is true, however, that some cleansing regimes may present a certain degree of danger. This is because they are occasionally conducted in less than sterile conditions, which can lead to complications from bacterial infections. Therapies like colon hydrotherapy, for example, which relies on pumping copious amounts of water and/or chemicals into the large intestine and then pumping out the fecal matter and water through another tube, lend themselves to the threat of contamination. In addition, this method may also be responsible for altering the chemical balance in the colon, which can lead to electrolyte deficiencies.

Fortunately, there are other methods of colon cleansing which are non-invasive and provide the same results. These methods generally rely on natural ingredients that provide gentle and effective purification. Performed regularly in the comfort of your own home, this method of colon cleansing is an excellent way to get the benefits of cleansing, without the risks of hydrotherapy.

Colon cleansing is an excellent way to improve your health and lose weight naturally. It has also started becoming quite popular in recent years because it can have such a positive effect on your overall health, and there are excellent home remedies and diets which can help you lose weight quickly using colon cleansing techniques.

Colon cleansing isn’t for everyone, and if you’re new to the concept it may seem a bit gross and strange. In general though, there are two common ways to do a colon cleanse: The first is to use enemas to flush toxins and waste out of your colon; and the second is to use herbs, recipes and remedies which cause your body to flush itself out naturally via standard elimination methods.

The best form of colon cleansing is a personal choice, but the fastest results often come from using enemas because they can clean your entire system out with just one or two applications.

Using herbal laxatives, teas, and supplements to cleanse your colon takes a bit longer to do, but tends to be much less messy and embarassing. There are however, herbs and teas which can have similar effects as enemas, so things can still happen quickly using these methods.

The colon is the human body’s waste disposal system. The waste that it moves out of your body contains harmful toxins, disease causing bacteria, and sometimes even parasites.

Human waste does not always move very quickly through the body though. In fact, due to today’s eating and activity lifestyle choices, most waste takes quite a long time to move fully through and out of your body. And the longer it takes to move through, the more time it has to “leak” those toxins and bacteria into your system.

By cleansing your colon, you’re helping your body to get rid of that waste and all the health hazards it contains more quickly. Thus there’s not enough time for it to start causing general health problems with the rest of your body.

Now there are some very simple formulas, recipes and products which can help you with colon cleansing. Home made lemonade is one of them. In fact, there’s even a lemonade diet which works quite well at both colon cleansing and causing quick, sometimes drastic, weight loss.

The lemon diet is more of a juice fast than anything though, and many people aren’t able to go without food for major lengths of time. You don’t have to use the lemonade diet to cleanse your colon though, you can do that simply by drinking 6-8 glasses of real lemonade each day. This helps your body eliminate more waste when you use the bathroom, and that of course is the goal of colon cleansing.

Epson salt is another natural option to use for cleaning your colon, and the recipe is quite simple. Mix a tablespoon of Epson salt with a quart of warm water, and drink it all at once. Stay close to the bathroom for about two hours though, because you will need it desparately.

Another easy colon cleanse option is to simply buy herbs and supplements. One specific herb that works quite well by is chlorophyll. Depending on how strong of a dose you take, the colon cleanse can happen just as quickly and dramatically as it does when using epson salt.

A less dramatic yet all natural way to cleanse your colon is to simply get more fiber in your diet. You can do this by eating more roughage such as salads and green leafy vegetables, or you can take a fiber supplement as well.

There is much more than can be written about the benefits of cleansing your colon, and all natural ways to go about doing it yourself from the privacy of your home. The above tips and information should be plenty to help you get you started though, and on your way to a much healthier, happier you.

If you’d like to simply give your colon a great cleanse a few times each year, one easy way to do this is to use a seasonal colon cleansing system.
