You Will Be Fine
That sounds kind of strange because all I ever heard about colon cleansers are great things. When I did my first colon cleanse I had such great results I decided to continue doing it. I've been doing it now for 2 years. If you do a colon cleanse, you are not only cleansing your colon but you are also cleansing your body at the same time. From my own experiences cleansing my body is the best thing I have ever done. I feel so much better now then before I started cleansing. I have improved memory, clearer skin, improved vision, and so many other benefits. If you decide to do the colon cleanse you won't regret it. I know I haven't. I think it's the best thing a person can do for themselves.

I bought a colon cleaning kit and someone told me that it's dangerous to have your colon cleaned out period. Whether done by a doctor or at home. That she knew 2 people that had died from it because they had a tiny hole in their colon and some of the toxic bacteria seeped through while cleaning the colon. I have searched and searched the internet and have yet to find any deaths because of this procedure.


What do you all think? Could this be true? I'd like to ease my mind before I start this! Augh!!


Thanks!! Dana Shocked


Benefits of colon cleanse:

The first benefit of colon cleansing is the reduction of constipation. If one suffers from a poor diet or is deprived of the essential nutrients of the body then, the intestine line walls of the same person become lined with a plaque-like substance which is not at all good for health. Colon cleansing not only helps out in removing the junk out of his intestine walls but will also allow the waste to pass off more freely.

The other most noticeable benefit is the elimination of diarrhoea. It is a particular condition that is normally caused by toxins and which can also cause problem for the whole process of solidifying the waste. When one takes the pain of going through the process of colon cleansing he can be sure that this condition will be of immense help to him and also allow his bowel movements to become more solid.

Another most important benefit of bowel cleansing is the avoiding of colon cancer. If one’s family has a history of colon cancer than the individual can perform a routine cleansing of his colon at least once every year so that would serve as an excellent preventative measure to take as it helps to keep up the smooth running of colon.

The fourth and the very effective benefit of colon cleansing is the experience of significant weight loss. After the colon treatment some people reduce a lot of weight. The average colon weighs up to four pounds. But it is nothing unusual at all for the effective process of colon cleansing to flush away as much as ten to thirty pounds of stagnant fecal matter out of one’s body.

Colpurin
Anyone hesitant about using a colon cleanse, DO NOT PURCHASE COLPURIN! There are not many (if any) personal reviews on this product, and that says a lot about Colpurin. It is my personal goal to make the public aware of the terrible customer service I recieved from them. In researching a proper colon cleanse, I came across Colpurin, and it seemed good becasue it was in capsule form. But from a colon cleansing aspect that does not make sense. Most capsules are made from some type of animal skin or gelatin. Why would you want to injest something to cleanse your colon that is going to hang around? So I returned it. (And purchased the best product out there - COLONIX). The return process was very stressful. I had to pay the shipping to return it, they didn't refund my money 100% for a completely unopened item, and it took almost a month to regain the amount of money that they did return. It was very odd talking to the customer service reps, which were extremely rude, and it is a very suspicious operation. Bottom line: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH COLPURIN.

Friendly bacteria

Thanks for the help! Do you know the names of some products that I can take to restore my good bacteria?


The best ones usually have a combination of several strains of bacteria, Blessed Herbs sells a good one that contains Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum bacteria. Bifidobacterium is very important.

But... Removing the mucoid plaque from your bowel is the only long term solution to the problem as the unfriendly bacteria is just a by-product of the parasites that live in there and the parasites live in the mucus.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Don't Worry, Be Happy!!!
I had my 1st colon cleanse nearly 10 years ago, I was mildly impacted had suffered from hemorrhoids and occasional constipation most of my adult life and laid on the table seeing little to no fecal matter flowing out of me....However when I stood up I had POWERFUL urge to defecate and boy did I ever! It can't be healthy to have that much fecal matter INSIDE your body and I had not done any cleansing supplements, no psyllium husk or clay just right off the street eating bad food and not drinking enough water. I felt wonderful immediately afterward, lighter and cleaner, like the way your mouth feels after a trip to the dentist, squeaky clean. Like I did something really good for my body and health. I recommend it to anyone that is even mildly concerned about the impact of years of bad eating on their body and has had any digestive/elimination issues. You can decide if you will follow up with healthier eating and nutritional supplements and such. Get your colon cleansed, cause now I know that the phrase "you're full of caca" LOL!!! comes from improper eating and poor elimination and leads to bowels full of crap that should be out of your body, not inside your colon. I can't wait to do it again and this time follow it with the inclusion of more fiber rich foods in my diet, flax seeds, leafy veggies and the like. A colonic is great place to start on the road to better colon health!

Other alternatives
I've tried a few myself and there are some good ones. Colonix is respectable, as is the OxyPowder, but I'd recommend using the comprehensive cleanse and not just OxyPowder alone unless you're using for regular "maintenance".

Probiotics all the way
Digestive enzimes and Probiotics should help. You can get them at health food stores, just make sure hte probiotics are kept in the fridge. Shoppers should carry them too, though not sure if they keep them in the fridge.

Goodluck, and oh ya all natural Bran is good for cleanse.

Hi there! I agree with blue4me; if there are cases where the patient has died, it would have been because of the bowel not the colon cleansing pill. i think that before you buy a cleansing product, it's a good idea to ask around forums and read information about a product.

Re: Your Colon Doesn't Need Cleansing

I used one of the "top rated" colon cleansers and saw little or no results afterward. I followed the directions and completed the program as instructed. I did not feel any better afterward and I saw none of the expected results in my toilet. I am 52 years old and have eaten my share of junk food over the years. I talked to my doctor who happens to be a surgeon. He said that no one's colon is impacted like these colon cleansing companies want you to believe. When doing colonoscopies (spelling?) they never see the type of sludge that these companies are claiming may be lurking in your colon. Someone mentioned that elvis had 60 pounds of gunk in his colon when he died?!?!? Do you know how much space 60 pounds of gunk would take up in your body cavity, let alone, inside your colon? That "60 pounds" story is just a stupid rumor that was started by someone. A co-worker of mine used a different brand of cleanser and she saw no results and no improvement to her health. Save your money, people. You don't need to cleanse your colon because it's not coated with a bunch of gunk. If it were, you would die from malnutrition. Think about that before spending your money.



Many of the health supplement product companies, put up fake review sites, where employees post reviews for their product. I frown upon that practice myself. I think if a product is good, customers should be the ones who vote on it not the company that makes the products. That isn't to say that there is anything wrong with promoting a good product.

But there are good colon cleansing products out there. You have to try different products, before you find a colon cleanse that works well for you. My friends use CleanseSmart by Renewlife and love it. It is all about finding the product that works. Of course, there are other ways to cleanse your colon. I won't go into that.

Also I to the original poster. I have not heard of any health issues arising from a cleanse. But anything can happen, if you have an unhealthy digestive system. Someone could potentially get sick from any supplement, the best thing to do is to ask your doctor before doing a cleanse.

i took a few different kinds of colon cleans. the first one tore my stomach up so bad, i was on the toliet praying to God.
The second one was okay, but i had such a horrible order. it said that it works withing 12-24 hours, and it was on point.
ive taken another on that tasted like fruit juice, i think it was the holiwood diet or something, and this also gave me cramps and tore my stomach.
it's good to research the kind that you get.
what's really good is fiber choice tablets. it tastes like a sweetart candy. i went to the bathroom 2-3 times a day faithfully.

I never ha d a colon cleanse before. I think it can be either dangerous or safe. It depends on how you use the colon cleanser. If I were going to do it, I would prefer doing it with a physician's advice and use only what my doctor prescribed.

That's kinda scary. How do we know if we have a hole in our colon? Nowadays people just do colon cleansing without any doctor's advice.

Most Cancer Cases Are Related To The Colon....
I do think that we need to clense the colon. Studies have shown that most cancer cases are related to the colon. It could be due to the junk that we eat everyday.
And the fact that we eat too much meat and very litte vegetables may have caused this.

One thing for sure, we lack Fibre in our body no matter how much vegetable we consume everyday. Thus, we still be lot of Fibre in our body and to clense the colon everyday to keep us healthy and cancer free.
