a good liquid detox colon cleanse?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Colon cleansing or cleansing has absolutely no medical benefit and is in fact harmful to the digestive system. Old science from the late 1800's when meat was the main food and people were constipated all the time. Not enough fruit and vegetables.
There is no build up of bad plaque or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.
If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their bodies couldn't absorb nutrients.
The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?
Detoxing is ridding the system - liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Additionally, many toxins are stored in our fat cells so in order to truly "detox", you need to lose excess body fat as well to fully detox.
We "cleanse and detox" naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
Read food labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.
Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
Search gut flora to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
They don't tell you about the gas, cramping, and bloating you will experience when you start eating again and the body has to rebuild this bacteria population.
Spend your money in the produce department.
Good luck.

Often you are signing up for an "auto ship" program that can cost you hundreds of $ if you buy online.

You do not need a cleanse, your body is not full of toxins, your colon does not need help doing its job, it is not full of impacted waste. The only waste involved is of your money if you buy in to this flim-flam. Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, get some exercise. Your system will take care of it.

Most people who sell and advocate these "cleanses" can't even name the #1 toxin your liver spends its day eliminating. Where they needed to pay was paying attention in high school biology. I think of cleansing as a tax on the inattentive.

I agree with previous answer on diet and time, but this is a good alternative to other sources. Not a bad idea to do this once in a while anyway.

You should first discuss this with your doctor.
