How beneficial is a colon cleanse and how do I cleanse mine?

Question:

Answers:
Yes, it is beneficial. I do not recommend the colonics treatments mentioned above. There are some good herbal and fiber cleanses that you can buy over the counter. Mega-Cleanse is good, but you have to take so many a day for months. There are some shorter-term cleanses that you can buy at health-food stores, but my favorite is Advocare's 3-4-3 cleanse. You have to "scrupulously avoid fried and fatty foods" while you do it, but it's both a fiber and herbal combination that you only take for 10 days. If you want a better cleanse that's harder to stick to, there are some excellent ones in a book you'll have to Google called, "Cleansing or Surgery." It has different cleanses for the digestive tract, the organs, etc. Some are as short as 3 days, but very strict. Hope this helps!

P.S. One answer mentioned microflora. This is an important consideration. I do not know about the other cleanses I mentioned, but Advocare's 3-4-3 does include acidopholus to replace the healthy intestinal microflora as you cleanse.

JUST http://www.google.com/ IT!

look up 'colonics' in your yellow pages. someone who is specialized in colonics can perform colon cleanses on you.

Why on EARTH would you want to?
There is no evidence that it does you any good, and plenty of potential for harm! Just a waste of money on foolish quackery.

It isn't beneficial at all and can mess up the balance of flora in the intestine causing illness.

See article below.

At the very least note:

"The FDA classifies colonic irrigation systems as Class III devices that cannot be legally marketed except for medically indicated colon cleansing (such as before a radiologic endocopic examination). No system has been approved for "routine" colon cleansing to promote the general well being of a patient. Since 1997, the agency has issued at least seven warning letters related to colon therapy."

Colon cleanse is beneficial because:
- It helps to remove the rubbish that has been trapped in your colon for the past xx years
- It will make you feel more energetic
- raise your metabolic rate
- give you better skin
- remove dark eye circles
- reduce your chance of getting chronic diseases like colon cancer

If you want, you can cleanse yours by taking a Fibre Product called Fibre Plus. It helped me clean my colon easily without much pain or hassle.

It's just a tasty drink you make before bed and drink.. and the you would just go to toilet normally and smoothly. After some time of taking Fibre Plus, you will notice tat your **** is dark, smelly and sinks.. and then congrats! You are on your way to colon cleansing! ;)
