Anyone Tried a Colon Cleanse?

[PureSilver]

I've been meaning to get this procedure done for the past 31/2 yrs. Now that i' being reminded by you wonderful ladies i'm gonna start saving to get at least 2 treatments done that should do the trick in clearing up skin, faster hair and nail growth, less upset stomach, clearing up acne, reduce bloating and a whole bunch of other benefits.

 

[Flavia]

I used the Natures Secret Ultimate Cleanse which took some getting used to. The directions say to take one of each of the two types of pills (one is the actual herbs for the cleanse and the other is fiber), and keep increasing the pills every other day until you attain 3 bowel movements per day. You will never believe that you had that much ummmmm excrement inside of you! I did it last year and until the bottles were done and I saw a big difference. My skin was clearer, my BMs were more regular, and my headaches subsided. Do not take the pills with water, they are bitter as H#LL.

Hi Morenita,


I just got a professional one done on Monday. It really cleans you out
and I lost a lot of pounds. That's the best part. I had so much mucus in
my colon and you could see it coming out. Yuck!!!!!! You would be suprised the stuff we carry inside with our lousy lifestyles here.

I'm loving alllllllll the info here. my mom died from colon cancer back in '02 @ the age of 41 and I'm like how in the world does someone die so quickly. Even to this day it's so surreal to me. She was a heavy red meat eater and we all know red eat takes about 7 days(?) give or take to break down and digest. Yuck, red meat rotting in our stomaches (is that benefitial for us?)! Now looking back I wonder if she should have gotten one. I guess learning from her mistake what I know now from what I didn't know...research is so precious, the info is out there it's just whether or not we want to seek it.
I think I really need my colon and intestines...i can't spell but ya'll know what i'm getting at, cleaned. I wished this thread was posted b4 I'm try'n to concieve, I think women who are think'n about conception can also benefit from a healthy start b4 hand (especially us junk eaters) but since it's not recommended while preggo, I guess I'll have to wait. But I will personally keep this information on hand.
Question though, how long do you think a woman after having her baby should wait to get a colon cleanse?

 

[CurlyMoo]

I want to try a cleanse for myself and especially for my mother.

 

[vestaluv1]

According to the national health system, there is no real medical evidence to prove that colonic irrigation is effective, but I've been meaning to try it anyway...just gotta fork out the cash.

 

[j'adore]

^^That's true. But why would the medical community want to prove the effectiveness of something that could put them and the pharmaceutical companies out of millions of dollars? I don't trust doctors, GP's in particular. They're notorious for shoving pills you don't need down your throat.

 

[morehairplease]

I have plans to get a colon hydrotherapy next month(have yet to call and schedule my appt. though ). When I first heard about the Dr. Natura cleanse, I tried it and well I sh**** my brains out it seems . It was just too much for me. I mean I stayed on the toilet . Hopefully, the treatment sessions that I purchase for next month will work out better for me b/c I can not do the Dr. Natura again .

 

[nicey]

I didn't taste bananas either. They're glamorizing it. I mixed the powder with orange juice and tasted nothing but the orange juice. It made it taste sweeter, but that's about it.

Hmm, maybe I should try it with orange juice. Never tried orange. Thanks.

 

[d-rock]

When I'm in "detox" mode, I just change my diet. Lots and lots of veggies, usually raw, and a lot of water. I increase exercise and sit in steam rooms. Best way to detox is through sweat.

Yes, it will eliminate ailments. Cleansing the colon eliminated my father’s migraine headaches. He was very impressed with the herbs. In fact, he asked me to bring him another 30 day supply.

Not only did it eliminate my acne, but it also eliminated a “pain in my side” since I had since I was a child. From time to time, I would have stomach aches. This was eliminated, too.

In addition, my eyes would burn as if acid had been thrown in them. A few times, I had to pull over while driving in heavy traffic and park my car, because the stinging was so bad that my eyes would turn blood shot red and water profusely as if I had been crying at a funeral. Doctors didn’t know what the problem was. Eye drops didn’t solve the problem.

My feet gradually started turning black, and colonics cleared all that up. That black stuff started coming out of my body. In fact, it looked like several globs of tar. I saw some scary things come out of my system. My therapist was so shocked. She just kept saying: “For someone so young as you, no one would have every imagined this toxic stuff had built up in your body. You don’t even look like you have this stuff in your system! This is highly toxic! I’m surprised you don’t have colon cancer! What I would like to do is take an x-ray of your colon.”

I said: “No I don’t want to see my colon. Now that I know, I will never let my colon get clogged, but we live and we learn. All of this is new to me. I’m just glad that I listened to my friends.” That’s when she said: “It’s a good thing you did get into herbs and colonics, because you would not have lived beyond the 80s.”

I didn’t waste time telling my close friends. In fact, two went to have colonics (Florence and Maxine), but they didn’t get their entire colon cleaned like I did. The other two died a few years later: Wanda from leukemia and Janie liver failure. By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was too late. They didn’t even have time to apply the regimen I gave them a few years earlier. They went quick.

Janie looked like she was 9 months pregnant with twins. The mortician saw me looking at her, and he stepped into the room and said: “Do you know her?” I said: “Yes, we were junior high and high school classmates together.” Then he said: “How old is she.” I said: “She’s 29 years old.” He said: “I worked on her for a long time. She was worse than that. I have never seen a body with so much fluid in it before. I kept working on her for a long time. I finally had to stop, because I had other bodies to work on.” I said: “She looks like she’s 9 months’ pregnant with twins, and her face is caved in.” He said: “That’s all that fluid that’s left in her. I didn’t have time to work on her anymore.” Then I said: “What caused her death?” He said: “Her liver was shot.” I said: “Oh, I see.”

Now at that time, my knowledge was limited, but I knew enough to keep myself alive. Anyway, back then, I had no idea her kidneys had failed first, then her liver tried to pick up where the kidneys left off . . . but it was too much for the liver to handle. The reason why her kidneys failed is because her colon was clogged, but even if a person’s colon isn’t clogged, the kidneys still need cleaning as well as all the other body systems. I remember she used to drink more water than me, so I couldn’t understand how could this happen. But my hydrotherapist said: “It doesn’t take long for the colon to get clogged.”

It’s more important to clean the inside of our bodies than the outside, because all the diseases and health problems stem from the inside. It’s a never ending process. A series of colonics--until the colon is completely empty--is the best way to detoxify the body, then there are other ways.

You are so welcome! I'm glad that this was well-received by at least some of you Even if its just for informational purposes, I felt the need to pass it on.


Lol! This is exactly the way that I feel. I was really scared at first, (and still am) but I want to be more healthy!



I definitely will! I plan on detoxing next month, and I will make sure to keep a journal and take pics of my hair growth afterward of course



I agree, there will always be people on both sides of the spectrum, but after seeing the satisfaction rate of nearly a million people, I'm on the opposing side as you. It would worry me if I had done a detox and not had the results that I have now seen. I'd feel that it did not do what it was supposed to do, or I did not follow the instructions to the letter. There were this one guy on the site who said he skipped the tea a few times, and didn't really expel much, so he continued for 2 more months and followed instructions and was able to see much better results.



I agree, but if we are putting unnatural things into our bodies to begin with, breathing toxic air and such, it seems like our bodies would need the help. Kinda like using an antibiotic to get rid of strep throat imo. The product is made of herbs, which come from nature, naturally



I'm going to look more into this. I know there are those who don't believe in it, but I also know better than just to take the word of one person. If that stuff isn't build-up, wth is it!? And if our bodies clean that stuff out, then why are people having such incredible results and reports after using it, i.e. increased energy, better breath, sleeping better at night?

Lol



Yeah, since you don't eat meat, that makes a HUGE difference. Thats where most of the parasites come from.



He is definitely of the mindset that he has parasites. He told me that when he was a kid, he used to see this thing under his skin near his abdomen that would pop in and out. He told his parents and they just brushed it off thinking he was just being a kid. He drinks a gallon of water a day, works out religiously, eats lots of fruit, and takes vitamins daily, but nothing is helping him. He's tired all of the time and has some of the other symptoms listed on the site.

We're going to try this stuff the first time, and then work on preventative maintenance from there-on. Something as simple as drinking a little bit of ACV before each meal will do wonders on the parasites in the meal you are about to ingest, but does nothing for what's already there. There are lots of other things I will be looking into as far as prevention goes after this is out of the way.




Yes absolutely! You must put back in what you are taking out! Drinking water is KEY to health overall. I thought this one was herbal too? I'll have to look at the ingredient list again...

That's a really impressive list of things you have rid yourself of. Very inspirational



Wonderful! I'm so glad that you discovered this on your own and have had such great results. I'm looking forward to it. I didn't sleep well last night because I was so anxious lol. I realized last night though that I am going to have to consult with my doctor because I forgot one thing: I AM STILL BREASTFEEDING I keep forgetting that one little detail every time I get excited about some new product lol. I haven't taken any hair vitamins just because of that. Just my daily prenatal.[/quote]

I am very sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mom 2 years ago to bone/blood cancer (multiple myeloma). Things like this just make me wonder too if it would have helped...

I just had my third baby in January, and my research has revealed that you must wait until after your baby is fully weaned (if you are nursing like I am) until you do any type of detox. Simply put, the toxins that you are ridding your body of, will excrete themselves right back into your breastmilk. So for me, I can't do this for another 8 months at least, but I'm glad that I brought it up on the forum since it seemed to benefit so many of you in knowing and discussing, and I'm looking forward to doing this next year for sure. I'm convinced.

This really does sound amazing. I think my mother would be able to benefit greatly from this. She's not in the best of health, sadly.

Someone mentioned pills or tea... can I go to a GNC and pick this stuff up? Or should it be ordered from a website? Which brand do you think works the best?

EDIT: I'm looking at the Dr. Natura site and to be honest, I'm a little freaked! I certainly don't want to see any of that in the toilet (I'm assuming you... well, poo this stuff out? Yuck). But I suppose that's what you've gotta get rid of to be healthy. Did anyone get stuff like that on other cleansers?

TIA! =]

There were this one guy on the site who said he skipped the tea a few times, and didn't really expel much, so he continued for 2 more months and followed instructions and was able to see much better results.

Well, I did say that I did a detox once. It did "work" as in I pooped regularly and copiously and I think I lost a few ounces. But after all I've read, seen or learned from people with medical or scientific backgrounds, I've decided that God made our bodies just right and we do not need concoctions (natural, organic, or other) to help it work properly. Just my opinion but I'm not knocking anyone's decision to the contrary.

I agree, but if we are putting unnatural things into our bodies to begin with, breathing toxic air and such, it seems like our bodies would need the help. Kinda like using an antibiotic to get rid of strep throat imo. The product is made of herbs, which come from nature, naturally

I disagree on this. I think our bodies do an excellent job of handling what it needs to on its own and getting rid of the toxic air (cilli in our lungs, etc.). If our bodies are harmed by toxins then we will have the symptoms (kidney, liver, lung problems will have symptoms) and we have the resources (natural, homeopathic, medicinal/chemical) to go to when that happens. I don't believe we need a preemptive strike to prevent things, our bodies do that on their own.

I'm going to look more into this. I know there are those who don't believe in it, but I also know better than just to take the word of one person. If that stuff isn't build-up, wth is it!? And if our bodies clean that stuff out, then why are people having such incredible results and reports after using it, i.e. increased energy, better breath, sleeping better at night?

Well, like you just said, I don't take just anyone's word. Those "results" were not from controlled studies. They were the voluntarily disclosed results of individuals. Those websites are only going to post the positive. Why would they post any negative reports? IMO a "fair" site or a real study would post all results; good, bad or neutral.

Now, I'm not saying these ppl were lying, I'm just saying that results like mine, no significant changes, are no where to be found. Results like ppl getting sick or worse are not there either. Seriously, most ppl do not go to their doctor before doing these colon cleanses or detoxes and they are very harsh to the body even if they are "natural". To someone who has some as yet undiscovered physical ailment, these things could be very harmful and even fatal.

Again, I'm not saying not to do them, just that we all need to do our research and think about the source of the information and the motive or goal behind what they disclose and what they don't. Dr. Natura and similar sites do not have a legal obligation to announce the negative results. In fact I went against Dr. Natura and Ballerina Tea and some other brands because of the negative results individuals posted on consumer sites, or on message boards etc. and from googling law suits etc. against the companies. I chose the brand I chose because I read the ingredients and the process and decided for myself that it did not seem harmful and no, I too did not visit my physician before I did the detox and thankfully I was ok. Remember, they are selling a product and trying to make a profit.

Just do your research and don't let some one's photos on poop on a toilet seat cause you to think that there are amazing results. FYI, this is not one of my tongue-in-cheek-trying-to-be-funny-dry-humor comments, I really want everyone to be careful with these detoxes and make sure they take the whole body in consideration. See a medical doctor and any other physician (holistic or other) before doing these to make sure you won't do more harm than good. These "natural" herbs can also harm if taken in excess or in an inappropriate manner. Detoxes can also cause women to lose calcium, folic acid, iron, B vitamins etc.

That post about apple and water detox/cleanse is so true for me. I get better "results" with those than I did with the boxed stuff.

 

[DivaD04]

Thank you Morenita, I really appreciate that. I'm sorry to hear that as well about your mom.

I'm not going to quote anyone but I will speak on both sides of the fences....I don't want to say negative vs. positive but if we want to be truthful about this that's what it is and ITA agree w/ both sides....when it comes to everything for every positive there's a negative and for every negative there's a positive that's politics and commerce.

I agree that our bodies does a great job in filtering, funtioning, and all that jazz, I can totally agree with that, but.... I agree God made us perfect in His image but --the dreaded but, b/c man like to experiment and add ALL the CRAP! to our foods and the stuff we buy to survive on has been tampered and tarnished. Our diets are mainly based on what we grew up on...which is mostly fillers, gmo's, homogenize(did I spell that right?), thickeners...that's not natural and what makes it so bad it's not labled on the foods...the fda doesn't think this is necessary.
We seek to go organic b/c we want to get back what God gave us in the first place. So I'd have to agree and disagree on this. But I think I can safely say that we all agree on research.

ROBOTxcore...I looked at this site and was scared too, still am but I asked my sister whose 25 and asked er if I get a hydratherapy would she get one...she replied if I paid for it...But after I succefully have and wean from breastfeeding my 2nd baby...I'm still in the I don't know If I'm pregnant mode...I'm going to get a hydratherapy done.

I personally think that in order if something works for you (indivially), you have to try it out first...especially completely. I want to try it because of this thread putting the word out there. Not solely b/c we made a thread about colonic...lol but because I feel we can interact w/ each other about the good, the bad, and the uglier. One day when I get mine done I can come back to this very thread and post my results and if I can get my mild ance cleared up and some hair growth behind it all the I feel well done. But I will only know if I try it. Like Barbra said she still went to see her doc. It's not about replacing mordern medicine with alternative medicine, hey unless folks feel otherwise, but to add it with modern medicine. Shoot if folks paid any attention, the docs will give alternative advise...they gave me some especially while preggo and I was like what the hey but shoot for that I could have just calle my granny for that

For me, I'm so in agreeance with these 2 ladies...Morenita, Barbra, and Curlymoo girl, thanks for posting this thread. I don't think I would have ha the guts to post this one out of fear of folks say'in ugh! But that was not the case...this thread has gotten alot of support plus it's an all purpose thread from head to toe.

As much as mordern medicine is pushed up on us I wish traditional and organic medicine is given the same amount of research, attention, support, and practice as well I think this world is so out with the old and in with the new method that something that's so simple like getting a colonic and keeping our appointments w/ our doc's seems so bleek...I think we (younger generation) need to start this up. I hate to use the word trend because it's so more than that. But like as a child they say we are the future and the future starts with us...so let's act like it, right.

Ya'll done beat my post up...it's just my opinion, lol I agree with both sides.

DivaD04:

I agree that holistic, natural, natropathic practices do not get the attention or study that they should here in the US. That is why I advocate people research on their own and get knowledge. I just don't want anyone getting hurt because they tried something w/o checking it out 1st.

I even considered a colonic but I decided against it (good old fashioned enema is good enough for me LOL). I did not see the real benefit in putting my body though such stress and the benefit did not out weigh the cost (for me).

The real deal is that most of us who live in industrialized nations have more issues with toxic things attacking the body than those in less industrialized areas and we've gotten farther away from nature than less industrialized areas.

I like a scene in the mini-series "The Wedding" (starring Halle) where her great-grandfather is teaching her grand-father (I think) about herbs and natural medicine and how "people won't believe in this" anymore. It is so true. The problem with all medicine, natural or synthetic, is that one size does not fit all and therein lies the potential harm.

Yes, I got some awesome results on the blessedherbs.com cleanser. I am too embarrased to share photos of my excrement, but I can attest that this stuff works. Whether or not its a TOTAL, TOTAL cleanse is yet to be discovered, but its definitely a great beginning and not too expensive. Mixed w/organic apple juice, this stuff tastes pretty good.

thanks so much for sharing this. I was wondering this just yesterday after seeing one of your replies.

 

[DivaD04]

And I agree...pretty much I have nothing more too add. Except, the info is out there and on here...pretty basic info, if folks are up for one whether from a pill, herbs, water(hydra), food, and any other way, the info is out there and we know we have each other for support. I'm up for it...in time I'll be ready for it but I will only get one back home in the land we call the US of A.
