Colon Cleansing

It sounds a little suspicious to me. Especially since if they did have a small hole in their colon, bacteria would have gone through eventually on it's own.. If you are healthy and have no problems intestinally then you should be fine. They only thing you have to be careful with that can be dangerous is often when you cleanse your colon you flush out the good bacteria as well as the bad which can cause problems. You want to make sure you take supplements to refresh the good bacteria. Some kits come with these supplements, I don't know what you bought. You may want to do research if you haven't . I keep thinking about doing a colon cleanse.. But i've been looking at a product from gnc that does it through using laxatives, etc then introducing the good bacteria back into your system.

Thanks for the help! Do you know the names of some products that I can take to restore my good bacteria?

Yea if they had a hole in there colon, they died from bowel and not the cleansing pill..

I am on the colon cleaning pill now that I got from gnc ..Taking as I type.. 4 pills 3x daily..

Did u know that john wayne died with 40 pounds of crap in his colon
they say elvis died with 60 pounds in his colon..I found this on a web site..The other day.. I wished I had keep it under favorites...
But cleaning ure colon is a good thing.. Read my other post my son just went though a really bad pile up.. Big time..Very sick..As of today hes ok..Moving around some..
If I find that site I will post it.. To help u out.. Also look up paristies in ure colon...
Humans can get bugs, worms, and all kinds of stuff in ure colon..The site I was on was so good it showed a worm in a human can grow to be 35 foot long in the human body..
It also said the human colon only weights 4 lbs.. And the best way to stay healthy was to drink lots and lots of water.. Bottled ...

Good luck.. Kids rented a movie.. Time for a break..Lol

A friend of mine swears by colonics but i've read a few of those nasty reports you mentioned. In these cases the colonic device punctures through the colon causing the problems. I prefer to do natural digestive detoxes. Right now i'm on an ionized mineral detox supplement. It is doing great things so far!

Let me know if you want more details. Basically these ionized minerals are better than regular minerals because they can actually be absorbed in the digestive tract.

This is the brand that I have.. Gnc here in memphis told me this was the best because of what it has in it.. It is in the pill form.. And u take about 3 to 4 pills 3 times a day..With lots of water..
Its called: super colon cleanse..By health plus inc..
It has hebs and acidophilus..
It has in it: psyllium husk powder-1g
senna powder 578mg
iron 1mg
fiber less than one gram
the website is: www.Healthplusinc.Com

other ingredients it has in it is: fennel seed, peppermint, papaya, rose hips, buckthorn bark,barberry root celery and acidophilius ..
Years ago I had went to a health food store and had gotten another brand that cause stomach cramps and stuff.. Which came in a day bottle and a night bottle.. I didnt like it but that really seem to work the best..Im sure I paid high dallor for it too... But so far this colon cleanser doesnt make my stomach hurt...
But yes if there is a better colon cleanser out there I would like to get the name.. Thanks

Hi blue4me.

My supp is called dimension four. Includes:
400 mg elemental calcium
4 mg ire (chelated)
100 mg elemental magnesium
5 mg manganese

plus all these probiotic all-natural (vegetarian): phosphate, edta (chelating), potash, dunalliella-salina seaweed, unrefined sea salt extract, acidophilus ls, caseii lls, helveticus ls, fermenti ls, bacillius llichenformis, caucasicus ls, leichmannii ls, blugaricus ls, lactis ls, piantarum ls, saccaromycess, loulardi +, bacillius subtilis, bifidobacteria bifidum, born (b), brevis ls.

Whew! That's what the label reads. Acidophilus is at least familiar! If you want, I can email you the booklet.

I had the worst case of nervous stomach and ibs. I would fear leaving the house because I was afraid of having an attack somewhere that I couldn't get to a bathroom. Pepdo became my best friend.

We'll then a friend turned me on to psyllium husks and after about 1 month of using everyday, I don't have any trace of upset stomach or ibs.

I went to many doctors, who prescribed many tests and pills. Not one of them had mentioned psyllium. They didn't want to stop the money train from rolling in.

I think that many of the digestive problems experienced is most likely a lack of fiber in the diet and I would say try psyllium husk powder, it's worth a shot.

Primal defense is the best on the market. Made by garden of life.
It has all strains of good bacteria to put back in your system after you colon cleanse.
I have some and I swear by it. It comes in a pill form or powder.
Tastes like unsweeten tea.

You won't regret it.

I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but I don't know if I should take pills for the cleansing or go to a place and have it done. Is colonic irrigation the same as a colon cleanse? I have heard such good things about the health benefits from doing this I am just unsure of what way to do it. What do you think?

how clean should your colon be?
By karen schneider
htt p://xrl.Us/js8v

I used one of the "top rated" colon cleansers and saw little or no results afterward. I followed the directions and completed the program as instructed. I did not feel any better afterward and I saw none of the expected results in my toilet. I am 52 years old and have eaten my share of junk food over the years. I talked to my doctor who happens to be a surgeon. He said that no one's colon is impacted like these colon cleansing companies want you to believe. When doing colonoscopies (spelling?) they never see the type of sludge that these companies are claiming may be lurking in your colon. Someone mentioned that elvis had 60 pounds of gunk in his colon when he died?!?!? Do you know how much space 60 pounds of gunk would take up in your body cavity, let alone, inside your colon? That "60 pounds" story is just a stupid rumor that was started by someone. A co-worker of mine used a different brand of cleanser and she saw no results and no improvement to her health. Save your money, people. You don't need to cleanse your colon because it's not coated with a bunch of gunk. If it were, you would die from malnutrition. Think about that before spending your money.

The stuff they sell you to "cleanse" your colon is the same stuff that subsequently comes out looking like impacted fecal matter. Instead, just eat a bunch of clay, then say, "holy cr@p! Look at all that clay-like stuff coming out of me!" much cheaper with same result.

...Since user-created links don't work on the ehealth website (because of some bizarre auto-capitalize "feature" that re-capitalizes your post incorrectly along with adding all kinds of weird spaces and stuff), you'll need to cut and paste the following url into your browser, then change the capital "h" in html to a lower-case "h", then it will work.



good luck and do a lot of research before you buy anything to put in your body.

I dont know about these kits, but I did the master cleanse that someone else mentioned. I did it for the recommended 10 days and I was happy with the results. I felt great during and after. I wish I had kept to better diet after, I want to do it again sometime.

Call me crazy but I love a good colon cleanse - makes you feel like a new person - I do agree w/ ultrajosh - some products say you produce this plaque from the insides but its really just the product excreating. Go figure....I have tried those before and the bad thing about it is sometimes they end of making you constipated and thats no fun. Most recently - I purchased oxypower and this stuff is good......They don't claim to make you poo plastic. It made me feel awesome - I had allergies and honestly they went away after this cleanse. I am not the only one who has used it w/ great results. If you do a search for it over at curezone.Com lots of people have done well on it (or just do a general web search). This product adds oxygen to the intestines which helps clean the colon - of course everyone's body is different so do some research on your own and I wish you all squeaky clean colons - I don't care what some of your doctors say about impacted fecal matter being in your colon or not - do your own research. Look at the rise of colon cancers in the last few years - don't be deceived keep it clean
