Colon Cleansing Facts

Colon Cleansing Facts - Research

You cannot find research regarding a colon cleanse. Research is funded mostly by companies that will make money from the research - such as a pharmaceutical company that will research a new drug. Once "proven" they can patent it and sell it for a lot of money. This won't happen with colon cleansing because the herbs are not made in a lab therefore not "patentable." You cannot make as much money on an herb as you can a drug.

Colon Cleansing Facts - Diets

Colon cleansing diets can range from fasting to all raw fruits and veggies. It also may be eating a balanced healthy diet consisting mostly of raw fruits and veggies, some steamed, whole grains, and small amounts of protein, some animal and some vegetarian protein such as beans or nuts.

Any of these can work for a colon cleanse. The main thing is to cut out all junk foods, processed foods, junk drinks like sodas, and all sugars. Your body will cleanse as long as you take the proper herbs and fiber and eat right.

The colon cleansing diet you choose will depend upon how you eat now and the changes you make. You must alter it enough for the better to see results from your cleanse.

Eating healthy is never detrimental to your health. A basic colon cleansing diet should consist of mostly fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, (mostly raw), whole grains, fresh veggie and fruit juices, herbal teas and very little to no meat.

Any ill effects felt from eating healthy will usually be toxins clearing from your system and your body healing/building new cells to replace the old.

Colon Cleansing Facts about Herbs

Herbs are condensed nutrition. Just like a vegetable, if your body doesn’t need the nutrients, it will eliminate them. Unlike a drug that is toxic to your system, your body can eliminate what is not used. The danger of herbs lies in the fact that they may interact with drugs. If you are taking drugs, even prescription, check with your doctor first.

Unfortunately as colon cleansing is becoming more popular, many snake doctors jump on the bandwagon. Some outright lie and tell you herbs are dangerous and others include laxatives to make you think they're working when they really are not.

Colon Cleansing Benefits

The benefits of colon cleansing are many. Ask the many people who have done it. You will hear or read about many varied benefits. They include, weight loss, clearer skin, more energy, less unhealthy food cravings, happier moods, and less stress. Many people have overcome illnesses because of it. On websites that sell cleansing supplements you will find literally thousands of positive testimonials.

I’m one of the above people. I overcame Hep C, lost weight and have more energy now than I did in college. My only regret is that I didn’t start cleansing when I was 20 years old.

Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon cleansing facts are usually hard to find when it comes to having a colonic. Here's the truth.

A small tube in inserted and water trickles into the client. At some point, the client releases waste and it is flushed down a tube. The pipes are set up the same way toilet pipes are. There is a sideways "S" shape that creates a "suction" to ensure all waste goes out and not back into the client. The hose is can be from 3 feet to 5 feet long and water constantly dribbles through to ensure waste goes one way - out. This is usually done with a professional machine and a disposable speculum (the part that goes inside of you). If not, you may want to go elsewhere.

Colonics are best used only while eating healthy foods and taking a fiber supplement of colon cleanse supplements. They are not the "cleansing program" but an added modality to expedite your cleansing process that is started with a cleansing diet and cleansing supplements.
