Has anyone here done a colon cleanse before? I am wondering whether it really helps in terms of eliminating toxins, and if so what is the best method for doing a cleanse? buying a product or making my own fiber shakes? I need some advice here... been doing some research online and found these sites: Colon Cleanse Zone and Is Colon Cleansing Quackery?

I'll go with quackery.

They really do help a lot.
But make sure you don't take them for any length of time. Just long enough to notice the difference. Like a week or two.

Good ones contain
•slippery elm
•Marshmellow Root
•Dandelion Root
•Blessed thistle
•Red Clover
•Rhubarb

Also what is better for long term is digestive enzymes.


Oh and the foot detox pads are a waste. I think they are a gimmick they only draw probably about 5% of the toxins out of you

i think colon cleanse is good for you. my sister did a cleanse and she said that she felt really good. she also told me about a show she watched on tv about it and a doctor said that having a "dirty" colon might actually be why colon cancer is so common. a lot of things people say about it might be quakery but it is probably is good to do it just to clean out all of your old crap that has been in your body for years and years.

I have been into holistic health ever since I saw Kevin Trudeau's infomercial in 2003. I have since done quite a few different colon cleanses. Some of them are very harsh and permanently damage the nerves that control the peristalsis movements - thus over long-term, slow down your bowel movements, and making you reliant on colon cleanses/laxatives.

They strip out the beneficial bacteria from your intestines as well. Colonic Hydration does the same thing and are an unnatural mechanism that your body in nature, would never be exposed to.

The problem to go after and seek to correct, is why the body keeping the crap stuck in you in the first place?

Upon further study and research on the importance of correcting mineral deficiencies, I learned why this is really what people need instead of colon cleanses.
