Are colon cleanses all they are really hyped up to be?!
Question: Colon cleanses are not just hype. The colon collects waste that is not properly digested and it begins to rot. The toxins produced from this cause health problems. If our food was not so over processed, we would not need to do cleanses. Whoever said their Dr told them just to eat more fiber needs to find another Dr. Most folks do not know but Drs only get about 2 hours of training in Med School about nutrition. They are basically courted around by drug company reps on what drug to use and when. Problem is that these drugs are also toxic. Also, a note to the gal with crohns disease and everyone else, make sure to take a good pro-biotic (found in a healthfood store) when cleansing and after to replace the loss of good bacteria in your system. Cheers.

The medical community seems very dubious of them.
I did one once and didn't notice anything.
Doctors will ask you "if the colon needs cleansing, then why when we do autopsies don't we find impacted junk in there?", or "Why wouldn't colons be self-cleaning?" If something gets stuck (eg, Diverticulitis), it quickly becomes *very* painful and serious. So there's probably nothing to cleanse out in there.
no.
Simply put they are hyped but with little medical backing. f they advertise (which most do) cleansing your body of toxins, ask yourself, What toxins? colon cleansing are not what people think they are, you re better off just living a healthy lifestyle.
eat more fiber that is what the dr told me
They are good because when you do not detox it can lead to cancer.
Eat plenty of fiber a deficiency of fiber is a number one reason people get colon cancer.
cascara sagrada is good but you have to be careful not taking it too much or too long.
A good colon/digestion detox will include milk thistle, burdock, red clover and fennel among other things.
If any of these causes diarrhea or stomach cramps cut back or quit taking it.
You should be able to feel a difference in more energy and less bloatedness.
i'm doing one right now, its tough...but i also have crohns disease and it makes me feel alot better!
one,s health starts/ends in the digestive tract,from start to finish.as you get older more and more accumulation may occur, due to a lot of things i.e.,bad diet,meds,lifestyle. if the digestive tract is not healthy this is the start of bad health over time,and the older one becomes. elvis presley and john wayne both had from 30-60 lbs of compacted material in their colons when they died and autopsies were done. i don,t know what brand/type of colon cleanses you were referring to,but some are better than others. you should do your own research on this. a good probiotic also does wonders in this area. if the digestive sys is not at its optimum level, our whole body is effected in some way over time and eventually some disease will manifest itself.waste has to be eliminated on time.can you imagine what happens when a toilet or the sewer sys backs up. you know the answer,i,m sure..our body is much complex than out sewer sys and needs to run correctly.
PT Barnum was right.
"elvis presley and john wayne both had from 30-60 lbs of compacted material in their colons when they died and autopsies were done."
This is a commonly expressed myth, spoken by the sites that are trying to sell you a colon cleanse. It is not true. Only the very, very gullible would believe this BS.
Your colon cleans itself. NOBODY has "pounds of compacted material in their colons". Colon cleansing is useless and stupid. Don't be one of the suckers.
A friend of mine lost 15lbs after her first cleanse. That was like 40 years of build up that was just sitting in her intestines! I think periodic cleanses are very good to clean out your system, especially if you eat red meat
I don't know anything about store-bought cleanses, if you want a recipe here is the one I use:
2 tsp uniodized sea salt
1 quart lukewarm water
Drink it all at once and make sure you're near a bathroom for the next 2 hours!
All of us know the problems of suffering from diarrhea or constipation. Colon cleansing is not a topic that everybody likes to think or discuss around the dinner table. It is absolutely disgusting. But in that ways we cannot ignore the benefits of colon cleansing. When it comes to the matter of health than there is nothing better than colon cleansing. There are some major health related issues relating to the benefits of colon cleanse and the worst part of it is that most of us are unaware.
