Colon Cleansing?

The grossest thing for me about those pictures?

They were putting it on the toilet seat. Did they clean it up afterwards? I hope so. Because seeing that on the underside of the toilet (for a guy) would be pretty nasty.

I'd rather die from the toxins in my body's inner ocean than cleanse the toxin from my colin.

In other words, I think its bs.

I'd be careful with a saltwater flush. It is not hard to mess up your electrolytes, and salt in only one of the electrolytes your body needs, which can be abused by improper purging techniques. There are other ways of emptying your colon. Yes, some, many people do have chronic constipation, but seeing a good HCP, to find out WHY you are't pooping and getting on a good diet and supplement program (from a real doctor) is the best bet.

And, yes, psyliium is a good form of fiber, IF you are't allergic to it.

 

Oh. I was worried about the other 'lytes you would lose in a flush. Potassium, magnesium ect. A total flush will pull fluid out of the colon, and thus the blood. Low Potassium could cause heart problems in some people, and it happening quickly could be more dangerous than slowly. It might be OK, but I am not sure. I'm just worried about the other electrolytes, which will get thrown off kilter. Some people will recover quickly, others could have long lasting problems. And, if you have high blood pressure, this would be disasterous. JMO.

Is this in oral form, or rectal delivery?

 

What are electrolytes?

 

Specifically for Maggie Sugar: Why do you attempt to impose your opinions on other people's right to make their own choices about health care? You've obviously not used Hulda Clark's products, so any statements you make about them cannot be valid but truly full of s___. You are being so foolish. But, if you insist, go ahead and allow the orthodox medical profession kill you before your time. You're 45; why not grow up now and use some wisdom?

My first and last post to this forum because the "super moderator" slams all opinions not her own, a real sign of stupidity.

 

Why in the hell is there a photo gallery for that? I was definitely ready to take their word for it...

 

I tried a cleansing routine through Shaklee-which I sell. You eat regular for one day, taking the vitamins, the next you eat only organic fruits and veggies-with the vitamins, you fast for 3 days, then return to fruits and veggies, then back to eating regular, all while taking these vitamins.

Unfortunately, I can not do a cleansing routine. I found that out the hard way, when I ended up in the Emergency Room for passing out behind the wheel and began slipping into a coma. My blood needs the natural nutrients that only food can give.

I really wanted to go through with the whole thing, too.

 

Ok. So, those pictures that you see on the Colonix website, are NOT parasites or images of fecal matter that has been stuck in the colon for years...

That's all Bull.... and I'll explain why.

What those pictures are, is the psyllium that is the main ingredient in Colonix. The way Psyllium works is it turns into a glue-like gel when it comes in contact with water. It will then expand forming a long-rope that is about the width of your intestines, and because of the adhesive-like qualities of psyllium, when it expands, it attaches itself to all the fecal matter it touches. Thus, the outer layer is poop, and the inner layer is psyllium.

The next time you have a bowel movement, you expel it, just like a normal bowel movement, but the only difference is, you see this long poop-rope in the toilet.

Thats all that those images are. Yet, the most common of misunderstanding is that those pictures are long worms or pics of the fecal matter that is stuck in there. (which many people here have thought themselves) NO. That's completely untrue, yet something that Dr. Natura pushes, for increased sales.

I'm not saying that Colon Cleansing is good, bad or unneccessary. I'm just saying that Colonix is known for using these types of scare-tactics and supporting these types of misunderstandings. It all points to better sales for them and confusion for consumers...

Think of Colonix as the George W. Bush of Colon Cleansing.Spreading mistruths to support their cause...

Stay Away From Colonix!!!

 

My order of colonix should arrive today and I plan on using it. Before I ordered it, I did buy psyllium husks but didn't really use it. I don't have any bowel problems or constipation but I do believe that there is build up in the body because in the past I did suffer from constipation but was told by my doctor it is normal for people to go every couple of days or even only once or twice a week people are different.(bs as far as I am concerned.)

Anyway I just wanted to say it seems a few of you have confirmed there is build up in the body because you say the psyllium husks collect it once it expands in the intestines. Maybe you are just trying to say that to pay the amount that is charged for the product is a waste I am not sure.

I also agree the body is built to naturally cleanse itself however, the question is, with all the chemicals and additives added to foods now days and the total intake of food increase in the average American is the body prepared to handle that overload of toxins and large amount of consumption? I am no Doctor but commen sense would tell me to ask these questions.

If the body could handle it I believe there would be less issues of terminal and chronic illness. What would happen if for one week all you ate were junk and processed food? would you feel good? would you go to the bathroom regularly? I am guessing no way? So some of what is being said here makes no sense.(in referring to the point of people saying the body needs no cleanse it cleans itself)

And for the person who did say the body cleans itself go eat a bunch of cyanide or other chemical and you let me know if you live long enough to tell me the body cleans itself. Oh wait but you will tell me cyanide or some other chemical is not food and of course I will say a large percent of whats in the grocery store contains chemicals that are not food as well. And FYI cyanide can be made from natural foods and actually comes from natural foods.

 

I forgot to add I could have bought the colonix ingredients on my own however the cost would be probably around the same minus a fee for them mixing and measuring.

To the person who said "My blood needs the natural nutrients that only food can give" maybe you have some sort of existing condition because I thought fruits and veggies are food and provide the best nutrients??? The body should be able to go with out food for beyond 3 days however you will need to get planty of rest and do minimal activity so maybe you over- exausted yourself. Did you consider that as a reason to your passing out? You can't not eat and expect to have enough energy supply to do much. You need plenty of REST! If you live a busy lifestyle and need to be on the go or have an exercise routine you are not willing to give up for a few days it's best you do not fast.

Also I just wanted to add there have been people with cancer and other chronic illness who have declined to recieve conventional treatment and changed their lifestyle whose cancer went into remission after eating and lifestyle changes.

 

I think the "Master Cleanse" Is pretty good. It's natural and proven over time. The key is to do it correctly. Check out www.fight-fat-over-50.com/The_Cleanse.html Lots of good information applys to everybody not just over 50

 

you could also check out www.zug.com

they have an article about colon cleansing and has literally loads of info for all your questions --> http://www.zug.com/pranks/colonic/

so do check that out and explore its main page on www.zug.com

lemme know what you think!

 

I did a colon cleanse once. It actually wasn't that bad, but I didn't have to drink a bunch of fiber and laxative teas like the colonix colon cleanse. I think that the colon cleanse helped me though. I would do it again...

 

go on a raw food diet

 

I've done a couple gentle cleanses (nothing like the ones on these sites with the nasty pics and that claim to remove parasites and all that). It's true there's not much conclusive evidence out there that it is beneficial for you, but there's nothing out there to say they are harmful either. I wouldn't do a harsh one, but I think some of the gentle ones are safe, and possibly effective. As long as they contain things that are generally safe and good for you that you consume anyway, like psyllium fiber, milk thistle, etc. The NOW cleanse also has probiotics in it, to help you build up your good bacteria. I think the probiotic is something you should definitely continue after the cleanse, and really take everyday. Anyway, most of us definitely don't get enough fiber and eat as healthy as we should, so I think it's quite possibly beneficial to do a gentle cleanse once or twice per year.
