Colon And Body Cleanse Info

Oh my darling Clementine asked:


After reading detailed reviews about people taking colon cleansers and seeing various sci-fi like things come out of themselves, I’m wondering if detox is really useful or not. I once took a 7 day Cleanse program from GNC, and I felt better after using it, but I don’t know if that had more to do with my healthy diet and exercise. I saw all these pictures of intestinal goop and while most research says that the liver can do just fine detoxing the body, what about the goop? All of that stuff can’t be good in the colon, but does it present dangers to ones health to take all that fiber and who knows what else? Technically, what would that in depth, complicated colon cleanse offer that say, a dose of Metamucil couldn’t? All those reviews said they got flatter stomachs, better sleep habits, etc etc etc… What is happening here? I find myself oddly interested in a program, but I don’t want to just be in the bathroom all the time, especially at work.

Thanks!

Im 19 years old and im just trying to loose 7-10 pounds of fat (im 5’5 and weigh 126lbs, iv been working out and trying to eat healthier but this weight just wont come off. Would it be safe to take the supplements for a short period of time? Im usually against substances but reviews iv read are so positive.

Most websites you find giving positive testimonials or good reviews to cleansers seem to be set up by the manufacturers themselves. Is compacted waste a myth? I have read that when a Dr. needs a patient cleared out before a colonoscopy they’ll give you what is essentially a strong laxative and your colon will be clean as a whistle so why the need for a colon cleanser? Why isn’t there more info out there debating the merits of cleansing if it is a scam and not “Doctor recommended”? It’s hard to come by negative reviews other than sites like Amazon in the user review section.

I’ve been interested in a colon cleanse for some time now. I’m pretty healthy and in my early twenties, but I eat a lot of junk food. I’ve done research on it and looked at what can be inside you after years of not being careful with food intake, and I’ve seen good reviews on colon cleanse products on sites like Amazon. My doctor does not trust colon cleanses, but I’m still interested based on what my research has shown me. Has anyone done a colon cleanse? I’d like to hear about any good or bad experiences, and which product you used.

I’ve had a horrible journey with health & beverages. Read my story, & see if you can help.

I started my “journey” with the popular athletic drink Gatorade. It was always in my fridge & I thought it was really good for you because of all the commercials with the athletes. I was talking to my mom one day while drinking it. She babbled on while I surfed Yahoo Answers, reading her magazine & talking about the “pickle diet”. When she spotted my bottle of Gatorade, she lost her mind. She went into this speech about how she saw some big program on CNN about it. Turns out there’s piles of sodium in Gatorade, which is salt. & it was terrible for me, especially considering how much of it I drank, & had been drinking everyday. I was really upset. The commercials were complete bull. Unless of course you ran 10 miles a day. Which only like 10% of society actually does. I was furious, upset, & I determined not to let anything like this ever happen to me again.
This was right around the time Vitamin Water became really popular. I tried it just to see what all the hype was about, & it tasted really watered down, so I figured it HAD to be good for me. So after about a month of drinking it, Propel came out with those commercials about how many calories & stuff are in it, & how you’d have to run miles to work it off, which really angered me. It was Gatorade all over again! They basically lied. “Vitamins + Water = all you need.” That’s what it says on the bottle. That’s true, but you don’t need the fat bahookie you’re gonna get from all the calories in it.
From that day on, I was done with popular drinks, & everything I saw a flashy commercial for. I decided to try tea. I switched to Arizona Tea. You know, that milky sweet stuff in the cute green bottle? I drank it religiously. Surprise, there’s 51g of sugar in each bottle, & it was putting weight on me. Now I was fed up. & a little fatter. I decided to just switch to a fruit juice, since everything else was either making me fat, or lying to me. I tried grapejuice, because of the great reviews it got on colon cleansing. I forgot why my mom wouldn’t let me have it when I was a kid. It’s loaded with sugar, just like the tea. But I wasn’t about to give up on the fruit juice idea, I switched to cranberry juice, but got a stomach ache after every glass. It’s supposed to be really good for women, especially when we’re on our periods. It’s supposed to regulate our systems & help everything go smoothly. Which it does for most women, but it made my stomach hurt so bad that I felt like I had swallowed Taz from Looney Tunes.
I lost all hope on anything with well, taste. Lastly, out of desperation, I made myself drink water. Plain water couldn’t hurt me right? It’s basically like drinking nothing. Wrong. I switched to Dasani water, which I got worms from. Yes, worms. I had to take pills & everything. They told me @ the hospital to NEVER drink water again. So now I’m @ a stand still in my life. I haven’t drank anything for a week & a half. I’ve just been eating. Isn’t there ANY drink out there that I can live on without gaining weight or getting sick from? Help!

Keep in mind that I’m not trying to lose weight, just stay healthy!
