Colon cleansing?

I have used the colon cleanse found at www.URCleanandLean.com and found it to be VERY beneficial for both myself and my husband. My husband was experiencing bloating, gassiness and bleeding and was very happy with the results! Nothing really happend during the first 4 or 5 days and I was kind of disappointed and ready to quit - but then WOW! I increased the tablets that come with the kit from 2 to 3 - twice per day and boy did I ever notice a difference! I didn't find any scary parasites (although I really didn't look that hard - yuk!) but I did find stuff that looked like it could have been egg sacks. Also, it didn't make me feel like I had to run the potty or stay close to one - which I was worried about. It just me go more in volume when I had to go - also I use to go only once or twice per week and now I go at least once or twice per day. Anyway, if you're looking for a good colon cleanse I recommend the one I used at www.URCleanandLean.comColon cleansing?
Colon cleansing has no benefit as a cancer therapy especially enemas.





If you mean having frequent bowel movements because of a high fiber diet, some studies have shown possible benefit in the prevention of colon cancer. The rationale behind this is cancer starts in the lining of the colon. Each time you have a bowel movement, parts of the lining are sloughed off. Therefore, cancer or pre-cancerous cells may be eliminated at its earliest stages.Colon cleansing?
My husband was a very old fashioned Scot. Whatever anyone had his answer was ';You need a good clean out'; Old wives tale? Perhaps, but there may be some truth to it.
Not only does colon cleansing provide no benefit, it can be downright dangerous. 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 a procedure that involves having an enema or using a laxative that completely evacuates the intestine. It has been touted as everything from a toxin remover to a cure for cancer. Some spas even offer the treatment. Use of enemas particularly scares me because it may involve unskilled personnel performing a procedure that could be harmful. The risk of damaging the rectum, and even perforating the bowel, is a real one.





There is no medical reason whatsoever for having a cleansing enema. Enemas are only for treating stubborn constipation and for preparing the colon for a test (for example, a barium enema) or for surgery. So if anyone other than your doctor suggests an enema, just say no. If you want to flush out impurities from your body, have another glass of water instead.

COlon cleanse?

how much weight can you lose with a colon cleanse? and which product is good from GNC? any suggestions?COlon cleanse?
The amount of weight you can lose with a colon cleanse depends on how much matter is left in your intestines. The average person has 5-20 pounds of matter, so you can lose a decent amount. I recommend Preventive Nutrition庐 Complete Body Cleansing Program from GNC, available for $39.99.COlon cleanse?
You can lose as many as 20 lbs a month from colon cleansing. Here's a page you should read: http://www.colonzone.org/colon-cleanse-weight-loss.php
Elvis had 22lb of waste in his bowel, nobody can estimate,truthfully depends on how much googy stuff you eat!!!!
The best and fastest way to clean is is with water. Everyday in hospitals they give enemas to constipated people. See site below on how easy it is to do at home plus it explains how you can lose 5 to 15 pounds with an enema. It is a trick models and dancers use before an event to flatten tummy. I do not know if Britney Spears does it before her music videos but she has a flat stomach on them.





Site also has info on best colon cleanser but it takes days and you can gain weight at first with it. Either way you choose the home page tells how to keep it clean.





http://www.phifoundation.org/enemas.html
I just finished 10 weeks on Robert Grey's colon cleansing program. You can buy his products at Holistic Horizons. I have to say the program is challenging - you take herbal tablets about 4 times a day with psyllium husks in water each time. But let me tell you, it was so worth it! You would not believe what is embedded in your colon. I ';released'; (another word for pooped out) approximately 47 long old ropey pieces of plasticy hardened stuff. I'm not exaggerating and I kept a journal. Day after day this very old and very hardened material passes easily from your body. Instinctively you know it has to be better out than embedded in your colon. I highly recommend Robert Grey's book, you can order it at Holistic Horizons. Good luck!!!

Master cleanse?

i have been recently hearing about this ';master cleanse'; or lemonade diet';. apparantly it helps you lose weight and detox yourself. i was wondering if it works. does anybody have any experiences or advice. are there any snacks you can eat without interferring with your diet?


any information will help





thank you


xxxxxxMaster cleanse?
I've done the master cleanse. You are going to be tired during your cleanse, you won't have the energy to run. I went to the gym one time during my cleanse and I was so sore for days afterwards. There is nothing in your body to help you rebuild your muscles and you PAY for it. Don't exercise on your fast. Maybe walk on the treadmill, that's it.





The point of the cleanse is just that, to cleanse. Putting creatine and cellmass in your body will ruin the effects of the cleanse and it may throw your system out of whack. Don't put anything in your body except the lemonade.





You really shouldn't chew gum, as it has chemicals in it and the point of the cleanse is to get all that junk out of your body. But you may be craving some kind of taste in your mouth, so I say go for it. I did.





I felt great after my cleanse and I lost a lot of weight too (I gained it all back though). Unless you are going to do it properly, ie. drinking the lemonade and ONLY the lemonade, don't do it because you will not reap any benefits from it otherwise. And as far as the beer goes, it'll make you gain weight like crazy. Your metabolism will be so low during your fast that you won't burn those beers off at all, they'll go straight to your belly.Master cleanse?
Fad diets don't work. Exercise and eat sensibly and your weight will stabilize at a level that is right for you.
IT WORKS WELL but kills and you need to have will power

Master Cleanse diet question - help !?

Why do you have to use Cayenne pepper? It makes the lemonade absolutely gross!





I can handle the lemon and grade B syrup but the pepper almost made me gag.





Was wondering...WHY the cayenne pepper?





Thanks in advance.Master Cleanse diet question - help !?
The cayenne pepper is important as it adds a lot of vitamin B and C.





To make the taste a little bit ';nicer'; . You can do a little improvisation by adding mint tea for a twist of taste and/or lemon skin.





Peel the lemon skin and add a little bit to your drink. (The skin may contain artificial colour, make sure you peel the yellow skin surface)





Mix all the ingredients in a blender (if you use the lemon skin, otherwise just mix them in a glass).





However through my experience I find that it's the salt water drink that make me gag.





And the research I found, the salt water is unnecesary for your diet.





Avoid the salt water flush (SWF) where you are supposed to drink salt water which will then come out a half hour later where solid waste comes out. This is very unhealthy for you. The reason that it passes right through you, without you digesting it, is because it is toxic for you to digest it. This is why many complain that it tastes terrible and makes them feel sick and want to vomit

Master cleanse?

ok, so i know how the master cleanse works and the steps to take but i want some info from people who have actually done it. did you lose weight? did you think the lemonaide was good? how long did you do it for? would you do it again? are the frequent bowel movements difficult for someone who works 8 hours a day? i would appreciate anything you can offer.Master cleanse?
I've never used the Master Cleanse diet but after seeing your question I went to therawfoodsite.com and learned about it. It seems pretty interesting and I'm thinking about ordering one of their books and trying it out. To help answer your questions I found a support forum at this address:

  • Colon cleansing?

    has anyone tried a colon cleansing? do they work? are they really that benificial to your health and which one would you recomend? ive seen one advertised called colon sweep anyone tried it?Colon cleansing?
    just keep regular and save your money.Colon cleansing?
    You dont need anything fancy - the most effective that i have tried is to use a solution of cool coffee - its great and makes you feel wonderful. I would highty recommend it . you can get an enema kit from a chemist, then try it, slowly but its very easy to do and no point to pay over the odds for it.
    i would honestly avoid it although i had one done! it can screw up your levels of beneficial bacteria etc. I got extremely sick from it, i think if you have one done, you have to keep having them done because your body's natural defense can be out of wack from them (ie removing beneficial bacteria) I had one that had beneficial bacterial ';implanted'; as well, and i STILL got really sick. i dont think your body is meant to go through such a harsh treatment even though its just water.





    I wish i never did :-(
    I WAS going to book myself in for one at the beauticians, but chickened out at the last minute! To my knowledge, they do work quite well from people I know who have had them. They flush out your insides so get rid of anything horrid inside you. Personally I dont like the idea of someone putting something up there!
    I would not waste my $ on any of them but I do use apple cider vinegar daily for that purpose as well as other benefits from it ,cost is less than a couple of bucks and the bottle last about a month.
    I've heard mixed things. I've actually done it and you do feel better and your tummy flattens a little. But then I hear that its bad.....I dont know. It wasnt pleasant-but I guess doing it maybe once a year cant be bad for you.
    I've always wanted to do it, but have never got round to it. I think it would do me good :) Don't knock it until you've tried it - thats what I say lol


    Take care you, Lulu x
    no i havent tried it but if your paying i will have it done

    Liver Cleanse?

    Olive oil, lemon juice, water, apple juice, garlic. Does anyone know if the garlic is essential as I hate the smell, taste and the way it repeats on me. This cleanse is supported by a herbal solution also.Liver Cleanse?
    Because we can all be sensitive to anything even herbs. I know lots of people who get reflux from Garlic and avoid it because of this. If you find that the Garlic is causing issues with you, try taking it with a larger meal as opposed to away from food and if it still is causing issues stop taking it.





    As beneficial as something like Garlic can be, like any other herbal supplement. If you find you feel sick or ill from any kind of food or herb the safest move is always to just stop eating or taking it and try something else. If your body is overreacting to it than odds are it will be poorly utilized by your body as well.





    If your herbal solution has Dandelion and Milk Thistle than that is enough to begin effectively regenerating and flushing the liver. Just stick with that.





    Liver flushes are great but there are lots of variations of them out there. Dandelion and Milk Thistle Combos are always a good start and have the best track record I've seen of any other liver detox program.Liver Cleanse?
    olive oil really helps
    Opus is absolutely correct.
    LOL. NOTHING you take will ';cleanse'; your liver.


    Nothing at all. Your liver doesn't get ';dirty';.


    The need for a ';cleanse'; is a scam that was created by companies trying to sell you stuff. It is a complete myth.
    I drink pure beetroot juice from the health store and that's all you need.

    How have we driven Christan's out of Iraq? Any sources for what you are saying hope some of your answer expound on your lack of detail.

    Master Cleanse Diet & Pregnancy?

    I started the Master Cleanse Diet and intended to do ten days, but stopped it on day 4 when I found out I was pregnant. Could it be harmful?


    For the 4 days, all I had is a special kind of lemonade (lemon juice, Maple Syrup, and Cayenne Pepper, water).Master Cleanse Diet %26amp; Pregnancy?
    1. You should be taking prenatal vitamins before you even start trying to get pregnant....to prevent birth defects.





    2. That stuff isn't so bad in itself, but there is absolutely NO nutrition in it.





    3. The good news is: the baby during the first couple days isn't feeding off of what you consume..... The very very risky time is between about 7 and 12 weeks when it comes to nutrition and actually doing serious or fatal harm to a fetus.





    I don't know when you found out you were pregnant. I am assuming at around 5 or 6 weeks?





    You'll be having an ultrasound soon (8 weeks if you tell your doc about your worries), and they will make sure the fetus is okay.





    Good luck, and stop those crazy diets.Master Cleanse Diet %26amp; Pregnancy?
    you'll be fine just don't continue it and talk to your dr abut it congrats
    The Master Cleanse diet is harmful whether or not you're pregnant. Horrible idea, hard on the body. Don't do it.
    when you are pregnant NO kind of Diet is safe. You should be taking vitamins and taking in foods that are both good for you and the growth of your baby. Restricting your caloric intake right now is not a good idea. I don't know anything about this Master Cleanse diet, but your pregnancy comes first... you can focus on your weight and trying these things that are new when you are no longer carrying a baby that is depending on you for nutrition. Your first trimester is so important to the rest of your pregnancy.





    You will have plenty of time to cleanse after the baby is born and you are done nursing if you choose to do that as well.


    Good luck and congrats.
    Very doubtful it would have any adverse affects that early in your pregnancy. People do worse things before they know they're pregnant, and those kids turn out fine. I wouldn't worry about it, but mention it to your doctors to be on the safe side.

    Ever cleanse age limit?

    Ok,


    So I was researching the Ever Cleanse Diet (the one where the powder dissolves into the drink or food) and I can't find the age in which your allowed or able to use it. I mean like do you have to be a certain age to start?? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! Thanks :)Ever cleanse age limit?
    most diet supplements require you to be 18 to use them. if you're younger than that you might end up with liver/kidney/or heart problems depending on the supplement so I suggest you go over it with your doctor or do some further research.

    Cleansing is a scam. If you have something wrong with your colon give yourself an enema or see a doctor.








    Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.


    For best results, eat six times a day. Try balancing your meals 70% protein 30% carbs.





    Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels.


    Eat your proteins from lean sources (Chicken, fish, boiled eggs, lean beef with all the fat drained off) and beans (lentil, lima, chile or any type of bean)





    For your carbs stay away from breads and rice. They do provide energy but they are high in calories. Choose leafy vegetables, carrots, raisins, broccoli and fresh fruits. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.





    Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA

    How does this 19th century nonsense manage to hang around!?!?!?!
    Most colon cleansing products contain a high fiber source (like psyllium husk) and a natural laxative or stimulant (like senna). I'm not sure if that is the best way. Most recommendations I've read include a fiber supplement along with drinking only pure vegetable and fruit juices (a vege-juice fast). Eating a daily diet that is high in fiber will keep the colon fairly clean.
    Hi, I use the 21 day herbal cleanse, its all natural and the difference it makes to your body afterwards is amazing. You can use it up to four times a year to get all the toxins from your system and keep your colon working great. try myhealthabcmall.com, I have used it a few times now and wouldn't change to anything else. I hope this helps

    Lemon cleansing?

    Hi I am on the lemon cleansing diet. I went to Wal-Mart and got the ingredients but the only had maple syrup grade A and red cayenne pepper will it still work with out the grade B maple syrup and regular cayenne pepper?Lemon cleansing?
    Yes, that will work just fine. The maple syrup is also considered optional during the Master Cleanse. It mostly adds flavor though there are trace amounts of minerals in it.Lemon cleansing?
    i just read the original book (The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs, very recommended (and short) only $6.5 at Borders). he says that you can do the cleansing with grade A too, but he recommends using grade B or C.


    So, if you have no choice you can use A. but, if you are going to fast for 10 days, why not try to do it the better way, and simply by better syrup?


    I'm sure you have other stores, other than wall-mart...

I've seen a few products in the health food store but Im not sure if that is the same thing as everyone is talking about. If it is, has anyone done it and is it like ex-lax (are you in the bathroom all the time?) If you know of any products that you can recommend, that would be great!! ThanksBody Cleanse?
    The most powerful laxative is bicarbonate of soda. It is a little bottle, lemon or lime flavored; you drink it and it makes you run to the bathroom.


    Next to that, you can pay about $75 for a session of colonic therapy...hydro therapy....it is a machine-powered electric enema. If you have a high tolerance for discomfort the water can get all the way up into your colon. It takes a number of sessions to get the feel for it and go that far.Body Cleanse?

    no one in their right mind should ever do a body cleanse, its incredibly bad for you and tends to lead to a messed up metabolism afterwards that typically adds twice whatever weight you lost from it back upon you (it will drop weight on you whether its your goal or not, but expect to gain twice what you lose, and feel worse than what you did before doing it).
