Colonix Internal Cleansing?

I used one of the "top rated" colon cleansers (colonix) 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.

My wife and I started a juice fasting about 1 week ago in conjunction with the colonix program. We are both active professionals in the medical field, and after reading the testimonials in the colonix site and comments in this forum; we decided to give this product a try and see if it was a hoax or not. Today is day number 4 for us, and we both expelled the nastiest looking things; and no, they are not "fiber balls". These things look like tripes along with phlegm and veins around them. Go to "www.Blessedherbs.Com" and see the pictures in there; this is what it looks like. Anyway, just wanted to share our experience. Good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone. I've been reading through this post. There are some good, bad, and ugly.
I have suffered with chronic constipation since high school (i'm 24) 10 years! That's a long time for someone to have to deal with all the fun stuff that goes along with insufficent pooping. I found the colonix website and, at first, couldn't believe what I was reading. Like most people would, my first reaction was to think this was all put together by the company. I did some research and came to the decision to give it a try. I figured what did I have to lose. (hopefully what I was supposed to, poop)
my results with colonix haven't been earth shattering like those on the website. But!! I have had good results. Before starting the program,i have, along with constipation, dealt with gas. Every day. It is painful and embarrassing. Since starting the program, I have little to no gas. I'm able to go in the morning (usually twice). This is wonderful. I haven't seen any parasites, i'm not exactly going to go looking for them either. And just because the website says it eliminates them doesn't mean I have them. (also, just bc I haven't seen any doesn't mean I don't)
someone on here mentioned that the parasites, may just be the psyllium husks. Maybe. But, if you are really digging through your waste, I doubt you would mistake a husk for a worm. Anyway....
Like I said before, my results aren't exactly like those in the testimonials. I actually have only had the results I had hoped for. I didn't start the program to lose weight, "pretty-up" my hair, clear my skin, etc. Those are nice if they happen. I just wanted to be able to poop everyday and stop having gas. Accomplished. Some have said that their poop is loose. I have that too. But to me, loose poop is better than no poop. And who's to say that won't change over the following weeks. (i've been on the cleanse for 22 days) maybe I should up my fiber dosage. ... But I did just start using the probiotics. Maybe that will help.
I recommend colonix to anyone who is having problems with constipation. I'm in fairly good health. Don't have problems with thyroids, my heart, etc... If you do have something of this nature, it is smart to ask your doctor. And if you have any weird or concerning side effects, you should contact drnatura. I'm sure they would have good advice for you. Just bc i'm using the product doesn't mean I know what all could happen and how to treat it.
I know there was more that I wanted to comment on when reading through the forum, but i've forgotten. But, one thing is that, this is a place to put your experience down without trying to force it on someone or pursuade someone to buy or not buy. Comments from others should be taken with a grain of salt and used to help you make the best decision for you. If you are like me and just want to be regular, find the product that you feel you trust in the most. And see what happens.
Another thing is, it's not good for your body if you are drinking too much water.
I hope that I put forth a "middle-ground" post that helps anyone seeking information on making a decision.
Good luck!!!

I found this thread interesting as I was intrigued by the colonix site.

I had some gut problems and my doctor suggested taking milk of magnesia for two nights, just before bed. Sure enough-i was aiming for the toilet upon first waking. Whoa.
The idea was to clear out my system after anti-biotics. The first day, I felt crampy but on the second day, I no longer had the gut pain that brought me to the Dr. Office.
I also tried metamucil (doctors suggestion) and was freightened by what I saw: orangish jell like substance. It was the metamucil. For 3 days, I also passed what appeared to be on the colonix site: dingle berries on a "rope" is what I called them. This again from the metamucil.
So, I really don't think you need to try expensive concotions to get "results." the idea with taking metamucil (i tend to be constipated) is to get yourself regular again. It seems sometimes the body needs to be "retrained." it may take a month or two but it got me closer on track. It isn't perfect but better than what I had been experiencing prior.

So for the case of my doctor, I didn't leave her office with an rx script and I didn't have to pay $75. For my two items either.


The pharmaceutical companies want to make money and colonix-just the same.

As for those who've found relief, that's great. So have i.


All my best,

Dear rnsnyder,
do you think that the bleeding could have been caused by the laxative the md gave you? Sometimes the laxatives prescribed by medical doctors contain a whole mess of chemicals that may irritate and even damage the lining of the colon. I hope you are doing better.

Hello! I just ordered the colonix program a few days ago and am planning on starting it this weekend. I'm a teacher and am kind of scared of starting it this time of year....Eek! :!: but (!!!) I have read so many good things on cleansing the colon. I think I have the beginnings of ibs and have had my share of constipation throughout the years. I have also had a weird rash come up on the back of my neck that looks like eczema and I have had reallllllly bad breath lately, even after a dental exam, cleaning, and constant brushing and gum-chewing. Embarrassing!!!!!

I am curious to see if I have parasites. :shock: if I see anything that looks like a parasite, I am going to get it out of the toilet and cut it open!!! I know that sounds gross, but I have read all the posts on this topic and am curious myself.

I will report my experience...And my findings (if any). :d
soooooz

I got my colonix in today and took the paranil and downed the glass of fiber. I have never drank fiber before. It's going to take a while to get used to the texture but the flavor wasn't bad at all....Reminded me of italian herbs...Lol.

The tea smells really good. Can't wait to try it tonight. Will post if anything strange happens to my body. :)

I find it pretty strange that if you go here, to the main site, http://www.Drnatura.Com/c olonix_program.Php , that they have some dr's who endose the colonix product. Strange? No, not yet.

Do a search for these "dr's", like I did.
This was interesting, they all work at the same place!!!!

http://www.Gcnm.Com/schoo lfaculty.Htm


kinda strange if you ask me.....
What is even more strange is that out of the four "dr's" they list, only one is a true md, the others are phd or a nd (whatever that is).

Looks pretty dang kooky to me, downright scary, and possibly a sham.... :idea:

as for me, no thanks.
I hope the rest of you do alot of research before you take anything you "read" about on the internet.

I've been on the colonix program for about 3 weeks now. I have been abroad for the past 4 months, and while I was away I had some digestive problems which left me constipated for almost 3 weeks. One of my friends recommended that I start using colonix, so I took a look at the website. I was really scared and unsure at first, but I figured I would try it once I got back to the us. Luckily the constipation cleared up after the 3 weeks. However, once I got back to the us I started having really bad constipation again. I ordered the colonix and have gone back to having a bowel movement at least once a day. That was the only result that I desired and that is all I have seen. Some of the stuff i've seen in my stool is a little strange but I haven't seen any recognizable worms. I only have a month's supply, which will be gone soon.

I've heard that there is an ingredient in colonix that is addictive. I'm really scared that once I stop taking it, I will have even worse problems going to the bathroom. I forgot to have the tea one night, and the next morning I didn't go as much as I had with the tea. Also, although I haven't seen any worms, the representatives at Dr. Natura told me that it is necessary to do a 2 month program. They said that you take a break between the first and second months to let the parasite eggs hatch, then continue using the product to clean them out. I'm worried that if I switch to just using something like metamucil that the parasites will get even worse. I'm not even sure that I have them! Should I just stop taking the colonix after a month's use...Or would that be even more harmful?

After having my galbladder out the problem was just the opposite, evertime I would eat, I had to be close to the bathroom.
Now since I have a lot of medical problems and take a several meds especially for pain I have a constipation situation, I have tried the colonix stuff and it made me sick to my stomach so I ordered a product from puritan's pride that has senna and cascara in it and you order 1 bottle and get 2 for free, it has really helped! It is a herbal laxative and I have tried other products such as metamucil, fibercon and several others but nothing else works quite like this product and I do realize that we are all differen and what works for some may not work for others.

Some interesting links/facts

intestinal worms family
tapeworms: - fish tapeworm, beef tapeworm, and pork tapeworm. Obtained from eating raw or undercooked, infected meat. Adult worms can reach a length of more than 15 feet. Pork tapeworms can enter the brain and cause seizures. Fish tapeworms can produce over one million eggs per day. It can grow up to 33 feet in length. This worm is wide and one half to one inch long, and is usually white/gray in color.

White worms: they come in all sizes from tiny pinworms to those that look like spaghetti or angel hair pasta.

Red worms: these look just like earthworms. They exude from the colon wrapped in balls. They reach up to 6 inches in length.

Inch worms: these are thick (pencil size), black and bumpy and about 2 inches long.

Black worms: these are 1 - 12 inches in length and leave the colon wrapped in "yellow acid water" mixed together. They nest deep, impacted in the colon wall.

Pinworms: tiny parasites that wiggle out about 3/4" long and thicker than white worms.

Hookworms: curved about 6" long, and grayish. Infestation is as high as 50% worldwide. Hookworms grip the intestinal wall and suck blood.

"little fish": about 1/2" long, these are fish-type parasites with heads and tails, and they swim out of the colon in schools.

Threadworms: cream-colored parasites as thin as a thread. They often come out by the hundreds.

"fuzz balls": round parasites with fur-like growth on them. About 1/4-3/4" in diameter, yellow in color.

"spiders": look like a spider and are colored brown, often 1" long.

"stickpin worms": one inch long and a head like a pea, perfectly round. Small ones are white, adults are black.

Well, according to this dr natura colonix review, there does seem to be some dangerous side effects w/ it. If its working for u, I guess its ok

i am always feel questionable about products from companies that aren't very well known and also noticed that pretty much every single person responding on here is a new user. This makes me wonder if perhaps half the people on here work for Dr. Nutra or whatever the company is called. I don't want to discredit anyone who has had good results with this product but I would feel better if I knew someone personally that had used the product... Or going with a brand in a major chain, such as gnc. I feel a large company like that probably screens all the products fairly well for effectiveness and quality.

Hi I was searching this forum for people who have used colonix and I have a few questions before I purchase it. I after reading this topic I am well aware of what happens during the cleanse. However I am more interested in what happens after the cleanse is complete.

1. For those who were not regular before the cleanse, did you remain regular after the cleanse or did you go back to having a bm once or twice a week

2. Did you remain energetic afterwards

anyone who has done the colonix cleanse, I would appreciate your answer.

Tia

Hi foxy, and all others who are reading this thread...

1. Yes, I remained regular after the 3 month cleansing regimen with colonix. Initially I only had 2 bowel movements per week (nasty and disgusting, I know). After the cleanse, I had 1-2 a day.. So it was a dramatic improvement.. To be honest, I didn't even know 2 a week was not normal.

2. Energized afterwards? You bet... After work, I don't sit down to watch the sopranos or lost anymore... I had the energy to do some yoga and take a stroll in the park. It definitely was the colonix that gave me this energy.

If you're still not sure whether colonix is for you, you should read this review to see:
http://www.Colonzone.Org/ colonix-review.Php

Hello all,
a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with ms. Bowel movements had become a sudden, sometimes embarassing events - suspect ibs. Despite this after finishing I always felt empty - no problems.

A few months ago, I had a problem going, had to strain, took some over the counter drugs and I was empty again. However the same problem ocurred and I opted for the detox, colon cleansing route.

I am on my third day - followed all the instructions and still no proper bm although I feel as though I am carrying it around. Not sure if anyone else experienced this. Am I being too hasty? It feels horrible.

Hi, I am new to this site. I have tried colonix before and have never felt so incredible. Within a week I had people commenting on how good my coloring is, I was regular instead of having chronic diarrhea, actually had energy and felt all around terrific. I have started to not feel so hot again and my husband, who is a get over it guy, bought me colonix for christmas because "he hasn't seen me that healthy in years" invest you won't regret it!
