Colon cleansing?

It's best to check the product out first, perhaps with your doctor, but also online through a health site. It's a very good idea to cleanse your colon, but a lot of these "natural" products, especially the ones in hard tablet form, have added chemicals. If you're going to cleanse with a natural product, then look for capsules containing the pure herb, tinctuses or teas.

Brightest Blessings, my friend.

The "proper" colon cleanse will indeed help. It depends on what kind of problems you have as to what type of colon cleanse is necessary or if a detox will help just as much. If you have a problem with constipation, I'd advise you to do a search for Dr. Shultz's colon cleanse. When your bowels don't move at least once a day there is a possibility of build up in the walls of the colon that can keep your body from absorbing nutrients and can also keep putting toxins into your body.

If you don't have a problem with constipation you'll probably do just as well to add more raw veggies and fruit to your diet, drink more water, and get plenty of exercise. If you've been sick a tea of such nutrient rich herbs as alfalfa or chickweed and lemon juice sweetened a little with honey for a week or two will encourage your body to eliminate built up toxins.

First time I saw these products I about died. LOL. Do I think it's nonsense? Yes and no.

The way I see it is people just need to be regular. If you feel something then take a laxitive, but your diet is the key to a healty colon. There shouldn't be a "quick fix for it". So yes, there is a need for keeping your colon cleaned out, but I do not agree with the way this is being promoted.

The general public are thrown all this stuff out there that it will help you be safe. Help protect yourself now from future build up, but you know, how healthy is this? There is natrual bacterial in the bowel and frequent flushing can kill it. This dosn't take course of weeks or months. I've seen this with a person having the flue over the weekend.

So I see it as one thing - again - hampering your bodies natural function. Your body can take care of itself, but you have to provide your body with what it needs to do the job. Eat right, excercise and get the sleep you need. I think it's so simple that people just forget that buying the "magic" solution isn't always the best thing over doing what your was intended to do all along.

People don't have to agree with me, but this is just how I feel.

I think they are all pretty much useless. I had a boss who swore by them but starting doing them more and more frequently as they stopped being effective. I think as long as you eat properly and drink sufficient water, there is no need for a detox.

As long as there are people willing to buy these products they will keep appearing. In the UK there has been quite a lot of media coverage of the fact that detox is a waste of time.

You get what you pay for. Most doctors are not in favor of these things.

I personally think that these don't offer any benefit. I would not recommend them to anyone at all.
But if anyone wants to use them they can go ahead - I won't stop you either!

It is part nonsense, part sense. loll/ I've studied these diets extensively, and am also aware of the Princess Di method of colonic irrigation (google to find out more), but I've seen that you don't need to take any pills to detoxify your body.

Almost always, eliminating fatty foods, junk foods, oily stuff/fried foods and a considerable amount of carbohydrates from the diet for a period of 3-5 days gives your same result. In fact, going all raw - vegetables and fruits with plenty of fresh juice, vegetable juice and water is the best way to detox a body.
Those products invariably contain senna and other laxatives to flush the body of so-called debris. But all this not necessary with the raw fruit + vegetable diet where there are no additives, cos it serves the same purpose of cleansing the colon.

What happens over years is the inner lining of the colon gets coated with slimy deposits which lead to bloating, flatulence, constipation, etc. This is caused by the refined foods that we consume every day. So to let all that slime get washed away, 3-5 days of raw fresh foods + water/juice helps. This is proven and effective way to cleanse your colon and body. You feel lighter, your bowels empty more easily and you will get rid of all those intestinal problems I mentioned above... this improves your skin condition too.

So, there is no need for any cleansing product. You can do it naturally whenever you choose, with the same end result. good luck!

I think, without knowing, that it's somewhere in between the two extremes. I would suspect it to be kind of good for the body to be rid of those wastes, but I don't know if it's as helpful as they'd claim.

You have to check them out thoroughly first. Before you try out any product that's out there, you have to ask your physician or your doctor. Colon cleansing is important as it will keep you away from colon cancers.

I don't think it could hurt but then eat fiber natural foods and your colon will be cleansed as well.
