Colon Cleanse Reviews
Here you will find colon cleanse reviews of some of the most popular products on the market. This is different than the product reviews where more general products are covered. I did not include links here since some require "affiliate" programs stating that I would not be able to discuss a competitor on the same page. (So what's the point?) In these colon cleanse reviews, I attempted to be as objective as possible. I believe they are all good products, but at the same time have their limitations. No one product will be good for all, and most of us should try more than one. Not at the same time - but hopefully you will cleanse more than once in your life.
Colonix by Dr. Natura
This one certainly wins for the most testimonials - assuming they are true. Many people find this aspect alone to be hinky since the average customer will not take time to send letters of praise unless solicited in some way.That being said, the herbs in the product are the common cleansing herbs used in many programs. The unfortunate thing about this is the laxative "tea" that one must take to help move out waste. Senna is the main ingredient here and although a natural fruit seed, is still a toxin and highly addictive. This can be a problem since, as with any laxative, will not be as effective after a few uses. Another problem with the program is the claim that you can eat anything you want while on the program and it will still work. This is because it is a laxative. However, a colon cleanse program does not do the work (cleanse) for you - it merely gives your body the tools it needs to help your body's natural cleansing process. If you continue to fill up on junk food (as you will read on some websites such as zug.com) your body will continue to store waste. The burden will never be taken off your digestion therefore there is never a chance to start breaking down the built up waste. Imagine trying to cleanse a sink while you keep filling it with mud. This, however, is more a marketing/communication problem than a colon cleanse review problem. Pro's - of this product is the herbs used are legitimate and can work for most who follow a proper
cleansing program diet
. Also, first time cleansers will see dramatic results which can be very motivating. But keep in mind the laxative effect and that this is not something you can take and not make dietary changes. Con's are the laxative which can be addictive if you are not careful. If you follow their advice about eating anything you want - your results will not be good.
Oxy-Powder by Global Health Center
Oxy-Powder is a popular colon cleanse product that does not use any fiber at all. It is claimed that the higher level of oxygen infused into the product will help break down the plaque therefore you don't need fiber.This is not proven - but then research on true holistic therapies is rare. It is a possibility this would happen if you are eating a healthy, cleansing diet. But then again, the point of eating a cleansing diet is to allow the body to digest the old waste - so does the added oxygen expedite this process? Only you can tell while you take the product. But be careful - the Magnesium, which is the main ingredient, has a laxative type effect. If you are releasing a lot of clear water during a "bowel movement," you could be dehydrating yourself. Pro's of this product is the added ingredient called Organic Germanium-123, which seems to be an exciting discovery. It stimulates the immune system and interferon production, which helps the body block virus reproduction. This may be a good product for those who would like to do a "lymphatic cleanse" to build the immune system or for those with digestive issues that cannot handle any type of fiber at all. Con's are that if you do not follow a strict diet, you may just receive a laxative benefit, not a true cleanse.
Herbal Fiberblend by American Image Corporation
is one of my favorites. It includes all the herbs and fiber in one product. Instead of a laxative it uses cascara sagrada, an herb that stimulates peristalsis (contractions) in the small intestine by causing the release of hormonal oils. This is not a toxic, but a natural response to help the body move out waste as it is softened by the fiber.Pro's include the fact that it is all in one product with no pills to swallow. Because of this, you can more easily adjust the amount you take. In my 15 years experience of working with clients, this product does work for most people. For those who thought they couldn't take it - it was because they were starting by taking too much. You should start slowly with any product even if it means starting with a 1/4 teaspoon. Con's are the taste. Some say the graininess of the herbs tastes like dirt. Add to this the fact that it contains cayenne pepper which is excellent to strengthen heart tissue and increases the capacity of other herbs. However, it may feel hot to swallow.
Arise & Shine by Dr. Richard Anderson
This is an excellent line of products. The fiber supplement and the clay work wonderfully as do the greens. It is a great cleanse that I use for the 7 day intensive.Pro's are that it really helps move out the mucoid plaque buildup. The instructions that come with are detailed and informative. Con's are that the supplements are broken up into so many products it can be confusing which supplements to use for what. This may require more reading than one is willing to do.
Dr. Schulze
Dr. Schulze's products are an extremely popular product and I may make some people angry here... The "Intestinal Formula #1" is a powerful laxative that includes senna as the main ingredient. Laxatives, even senna, work by causing the body to bring water from throughout your body to the intestinal area then your intestines spasm to get it out. This can be dehydrating and addictive while not strengthening the body.The green superfood taste like seawater or fish. This is not the real problem, however. I have worked with many people using many different green superfoods and have been able to compare results thousands of times over. I just haven't seem great results with this one... sorry. Pro for Dr. Schulze's line is all the information he gives! He may sound extreme at first - I've even heard some refer to him as a nut job. But everything he says about healing, the body heals itself and the ridicule by the medical community are all true. He has a strong way of getting across a point. This is motivating and helps you to take seriously how important it is to take care of yourself. Also, I believe the individual products such as the echinacea, and liver cleanser are excellent. If you decide to focus on an individual organ or system, these are a worthwhile investment to add to your program. This may also be an excellent first time cleanse for many. You can see drastic results which can be very motivating and rewarding. But you still must be careful, pay attention, monitor yourself and make lifestyle changes. Con's are the extensive product line. Once again the focus seems almost to be on healing individual areas as opposed to treating the body as one unit. You cannot heal one organ without the other, therefore to help your whole body, it seems you must spend a lot of money by the time you are complete. These are all the colon cleanse reviews I will do for now... but more will be added, eventually. Use with care, realize that you are taking charge of your own health and inform yourself - don't rely on only the companies' product marketing as education.
