Answer 2

Hi Nightgang

CabinGirl is correct on the issue. We americans are very uneducated on how the body works and when the colon isnt working correctly, the toxins sit there and eventually get in the blood and cause illness and disease.

The colon. If your colon is bunged up, it can start to cause all sorts of health problems in the body. Eat lots of fruit and veg, include plenty of fiber in your diet and buy a colon cleanse from a health food store or online if necessary. It's also good to get some colonic irrigation. It makes you feel so clean inside and you get the urge to put only good food in your body after you've been cleansed.

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water, herbal tea or unsweetened juice each day
2. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper
3. Eat every two hours, by having healthy snacks in between meals. Eating frequently increases your metabolism.
4. Eat lots of fruit and veg.
5. When having potatoes, rice or pasta, just have a small portion.

1) Eat at least 5 servings of different fruits and vegetables every day. Don't eat any junk/snack type food until you've had at least 5 fruits/vegetables.

2) Stick to whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts. As much as you can, try to eat foods that don't have a brand name! So, for example, eat oatmeal (you can buy oats in the bulk bin of most grocery stores) instead of Honey Bunches of Oats.

3) Eliminate partially hydrogenated oil and high-fructose corn syrup completely.

4) Drink a gallon of water instead of soda. If you really want juice, make it a nutritious juice, such as orange juice. Apple and grape juices have very little in the way of nutrients.

5) Minimize animal products, especially fatty ones, as much as possible.

6) Good program also on herbdoc.com

Best of health to you

Answer 3

CLeansing the colon removes the normal bacteria that live there that keep anything harmful from affecting you, If you cleanse the colon the normal flora is gone and you can become ill.

Answer 4

It is possible to do a colon cleansing too often. This isn't much of a risk though. It's probably not necessary to do it every day. ;-)

It does not damage healthy bacteria and the benefits of the cleansing mainly affect the decending colon and the bacterial flora does not thrive there.

Answer 5

First of all, it's totally unnecessary unless you are undergoing colonoscopy or certain types of intestinal surgery. The colon is not a drain pipe, sludge does not accumulate in it.

Risks of excess laxative or enema usage include electrolyte imbalance, alteration of normal intestinal bacteria and overgrowth of harmful micro-organisms (like C difficile), rectal irritation, and even perforation of the rectum or colon. (The latter is quite rare.) Excessive usage can also interfere with normal absorption of necessary vitamins and micro-nutrients. Overuse of phosphate laxatives and enemas can cause serious, even fatal damage to the liver and kidneys.

Read how you can increase the fiber in your diet and forget about colon cleansing. Eat cereals, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Drink prune juice. It's cheaper and healthier.

Answer 6

Colon cleanse is something that cleans out your body of all it's toxins. It's a detox and removes the impurities and you also weight from it because of all the waste removed.
