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. 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. These products contain a lot of fiber. That's why you end up visiting the toilet more often. All you need to do is to eat more fiber daily. It's a lot cheaper. :?:

Colonix is a great product and I swear by it. I have been using this product for 8 years now and it has literally saved my life. I was a total skeptic at the beginning but what I saw when I was in my second month of the cleanse really scared me. What you see on the web site of DrNatura is some of that what came out of me. I started the program suffering from a long list of medical problems. When I finished the 3 month program my list disappeared. I also consulted with a naturopath that helped me get on the right eating pattern. I believe the combination of diet and cleansing really impacted my life for the healthier. I also found that DrNatura's help line was fantastic and they helped me greatly when I had any concerns.

I have not used Oxypowder so I cannot comment on that product. What I've heard is just second hand. I can tell you what has worked for me and that is Colonix. I have been using the product for 8 years and was initially skeptical about it.
I did experience some side effects yet these were minimal and I knew it was my body reacting as I was releasing the toxins from my body. Each individual is different and as my friends and family have all done the cleanse not everyone experienced the same side effects. So, my answer would be that each individual is different. The cleanse was effective with all those who I've shared it with yet for many they had minimal to no side effects.
Colonix is a gentle cleanse and has worked beautifully for me. Let us know what you decided to use and how it has helped you.

If you get constipated already, I would avoid Colonix. I've taken Colonix, and it made me horribly constipated the entire three weeks I did it.

I bought a one month cleanse from Dr. Natura, and followed the instructions very carefully. But I still became constipated. I got the usual headache for the first 5-6 days, like everyone else gets. But the constipation never went away.

After the first week of only having one bowel movement, and getting really bad stomach cramps, I called Dr. Natura's customer service. The guy I talked to told me to drink more water, and decrease the fiber. So during the second week, that's what I did. It helped, I had two bowel movements that week.

Halfway thru the 2nd week, I talked to the same person at Dr Natura's, and they told me to increase the time that I take the KleriTea. So I increased the steeping time to 5 minutes. By the end of the third week, I had increased the steeping time to 11 minutes, but it never really did anything.

I quit midway thru the fourth week because I was experiencing the worst cramps. In total I had exactly seven bowel movements during the entire Colonix cleanse.

7 BM's in 25 days!!! Thats not good at all.

The people at Dr. Natura were nice and very respectful of my issues. They refunded my money with no problems. I'm not saying that they are a bad company, it's just that their product didn't do anything good for me. In fact, it did the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

I've never tried OxyPowder, but I've heard good things about it. Good Luck in your quest for health. Please keep us updated on what you try. If Oxypowder works for you, then maybe I'll give it a shot... who knows?

It is too bad that you had such challenges with colonix. Personally I know a lot of people and including myself who are taking or have used colonix with great success. Each individual is different and it is a good thing that you listened to your body to seek a solution.
Have you considered seeking the advice of naturopath to check about the foods that you are eating. Something that you are eating may also be adding to your constipation. Just a suggestion.
I hope you find the answers you are looking for in this forum.
Good luck
