Heard some good stuff about herbal colon cleanse before and curious if anyone has any personal experience or has friends with good/bad results. Looking to stay healthy, fit and pure.

Thanks guys!

I don’t feel comfortable putting the Credit Card online, so is this the same thing that will cleanse my colon and make me feel better, as well as fix my metabolism? I just want to know if these have the same effect.

My parents have this aloe thing you mix in drinks and its supposed to cleanse your colons. Will this get marijuana out of your system and if so how fast(how many days)? Thank you in advance.

I’m looking for an all natural colon cleanse program by only eating certain foods. No drugs. No herb supplements. I feel there must be a way to do this as nature intended. I do not trust herbal products as they are processed by man.. the only ones I trust are the ones I can pick myself. And there are some parts of the world where herbs are not grown.. these peoples must have had a way to clean their colon without herbs. I did hear one person say don’t eat meat when your trying to clean your colon. I don’t buy that at all. If you feel this way, give me some really good reasons why I must not eat meat. Do not answer this question if you are anti meat, that answer will be a bias answer and not right..
Also, How will I know when my colon is completely clean? How long can I expect this program to work?
Well I eat like that anyway folks.. those are just general answers to keep you regular. They are not colon cleanse programs.. these things will not go above and beyond the scraping out of your colon like a store bought product will.. that’s what im looking for.. detail a plan that uses certain foods to clean your colon in the way that the OTC products do. You need to tell me foods that act on the body the way that the colon products do.. not just healthy eating. There is a Big difference.

Does anyone know any herbal remedies to cleaning your colon. I want to start working out and really want to nice abs. I also want my colon cleaned so I wont build up toxins. I really would prefer like supplemental drinks.

Hello i need some advice

My father is in his late 50’s and he is really really constipated. He went to doctor and was given some pill’s which did not help.
Hes Been very interested in Purchasing some "colon cleansing" Tablets from several tv ads but i am pretty sure they are/might be a scam (i say this cause last time he purchased a product from a tv and he got his identity stolen).

Here is my question
Are there any over there counter powders,strong herbal teas,enzymes,anti parasite capsules or liquid supplements that are any good for cleaning the colon?
(preferably not online stores)

I would greatly appreciate it! =)

When I was younger I use to hold in my bowel movements. I'm in my 30s now and I can't seem to get things going again. I have tried almost everything, Health Force cleanses, herbal laxative, eating healthy, probiotics, magnesium, enemas, you name it. Recently I have been mixing homemade yogurt with a T. Psyllium for the last three weeks. I have been getting some movement but I have so much gas I think I'm going to explode! It has gotten to the point where nothing really responds and it seems I have no control over pushing anything out like the colon is numb inside. Also, because of all of this I am experiencing the gas not coming from rectum it comes directly out of pours. 15-20 minutes after I feel gas in my lower left abdomen I can smell a STRONG odor of eggs coming from me for days at a time. When I was somewhat gassy or constipated when I was younger I never had gas come out of my pours like this. Any explanation for this? I had blood tests done recently and everything looked ok except for high carnitine levels and raised cholesterol. I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done as well. I am not sure if it is related but I also have severe gout symptoms in my feet and ankles on a weekly basis. The Dr. said to take IB Profen and no high purine foods which I don't consume. I also get acne/boils that sometimes smell like rotten eggs all over my back and chest. Does anybody have any ideas? I haven't got much help by going to the doctor. Thanks!
I quit drinking a couple years ago and I definitely know alcohol doesn't help the problem. lol
I gotta say though, I think I had better bowel movements even when I was drinking.
Yogurt and high fiber seems to be giving me some relief. I don't recall mentioning my "cure" with using yogurt and fiber. More of a process of conditioning my digestive track. I'm thinking dysbiosis and possible yeast overgrowth causing the problem. That might explain the acne/boils on chest. (yeast?) I think the gas is from introducing fiber to my diet and possibly the bacteria going to work. I have been to a GI dr. and since tests came back negative for major problems he said just keep yourself regular with Myralax, which didn't work at all. Not much help. I guess what I'm asking is if anyone has had similar symptoms and have had success with treating it. Like I said it seems that my system is not responding to most laxatives. A couple weeks ago I tried Epsom salt and it didn't respond at all. When I use to use it a year ago it created diarrhea. It almost seems impossible to create diarrhea if I had to. My goal for now is just to get my system going.

I spent a few years in the US in the early 90s, and remember it as a really great time. The Mustang GT came out, you could buy Hefeweizen beer on the West Coast, people were doing all this crazy colon cleansing herbal stuff, wore transparent sandals and felt naughty for eating at Taco Bell, Sheryl Crow was singing "All I Wanna Do", and it was generally agreed using the internet was pretty advanced stuff, while a lot of people were into survivalism or rabidly born-again-Christian, or both.
What's it like today?
Would I still like it there?

I just started taking this stuff called Dual Action Cleanse and I I've been feeling sick. Of course I know it could be a coincidence but I could have sworn I heard somewhere that it is common to feel sick when on a new vitamin program and that sometimes you feel worse before you feel better. Does anyone have any medical info to back this statement up? I'm very curious. To be specific the program consists of a multi-vitamin, a green tea capsule and colon cleansing herb caplets.

i just bought this. it has aloe vera whole leaf unfiltered aloe vera inner gel and F.O.S and herbs in it.
aloe vera juice-max strength

so..what will this do??

any products herbal or OTC good out there?

Treatment for IBS: Bad and good bacteria ignored ?

Logic should suggest that IBS is caused by bad bacteria in your intestinal system, or colon. In fact logic would suggest that these bacteria often called "parasites" can be responsible for many diseases, like Crohns, MS, Schizophrenia and Cancer.

For decades 'ulcers' were of unknown origin, and eventually it was proven that a bacteria was the cause.

I might suggest a treatment involves three components. (Do your own research using the key words 'herbal treatments for parasites}

1. Anti-parasite. (garlic cloves are the best, (ginger, etc)
2. Fiber (to cleanse)
3. Probiotics (good bacteria found in yogurt and saurerkraut)

The question is why have these simple cause and effects, and treatments been ignored.

It appears the most obvious is ignored but why ? Is there a conspiracy to withhold the most obvious ?

hi im 18 i dont eat breakfast, i eat late at night, i dont eat nothing till like 10:00 or 9:00.

Problem:
In the past month or so, I have been experiencing a strange pain in my back. It is only on one side of my spine and is located in what I believe to be the it the Thoracic region. More specifically the pain is located midway between my spinal column and the left edge of my back. It is right at the lower end of my rib cage.

The pain started off as a dull, chronic ache, very similar to muscle sorenes from exercise. Over the course of a month or so, the pain has progressed to become more and more intense. At times, the pain can be excrutiating…like that of a "stabbing" pain. The pain is made worse by bending at the waist, twisting at the waist, putting pressure on that side of my back, rapid movement, or deep, quick breathing.

History:

I am a 26 year old female. 5'8" 135lb, athletic normally but have gotten out of shape in the last 3-4 months. Previously an avid horseback rider since age 8 and trainer since age 15 years. Rider of english, jumping, and dressage. Diagnosed with mild scoliosis at age 13. Have suffered many serious falls from horseback. Multiple broken bones, a few concusions, ect. One injury resulted in fracture of L5 and S1 vertebrae and a herniation w rupture of the vertebral disc. Treated with 6 months of bed rest, then underwent extensive PT. Returned to horseback riding and resumed a very sucessful riding career. Back pain gradually decreased over time to almost what I'd consider normal levels. Now, XRAY reveals full fusion of L5-S1 joint, by natural causes. As a result of another tramatic fall from a horse, I broke one of my floating ribs. The injury was most likely either asymtomatic or the pain was generalized to be the result of bruising and normal pains associated with falling from a horse because the rib injury was not diagnosed until a later date. Diagnosis occured during an X-Ray that was unrelated, but radiologist pointed out abnormality and asked if I was aware of condition. I can not remember exact dates, but I assume the initial injury occured sometime between age 14 and 16. Diagnosis was approx age 18. I am 26 now. I remember the X-Ray of the rib was of a complete break of the most posterior floating rib. The main portion of the rib was shifted away from the base that attached to the vertebrae. The broken off portion was pointing downward at a much steeper angle than the corresponding rib on the other side of the body. There did not appear to be any bone spurs or fragments. I do not remember which side of the body the broken rib was located, but I do remember it was on the left side of the X-Ray file (but this may or may not correlate with body side, depending on how X-Ray was taken and then placed on viewing screen, correct?)

Recent changes in diet, lifestyle, and activites: (Just for background, ect)
In the last year, I moved to NYC and have not been able to ride horses at all. In the last 2 month, I took 2 riding lessons to resume my riding activities. One lesson was on Nov 15 and the second was on Nov 22. I have also recently resumed working out at the gym since mid December. In addition, I have been undergoing a colon cleanse smoothie program prescribed by an herbal health practitioner. I do not think this would have anything to do with pain, but feel its at least worth mentioning. Finally, I have been working at a desk job since Sept 2008, and find myself hunching over the deskwith poor posture. This has resulted in a general increase of overall back pain (mostly in the cervical region)…but not at all like the specific pain I have described above.

My question is this, could this pain be associated with broken rib injury in the past? Is it possible for an old injury like this to "flare up"? Can this rib move, migrate, or cause injury now? I have an appointment set up for next week, but my dr could not get my in immediatly and I am getting really worried as the pain increases! Also, is this best handled by going to a General Practitioner and having them refer me, or is there a more specific specialist I should directly go to? I have good insurance, but if I can save the co-pay and also time I have to take off work to go see each doctor, it would be very helpful. I am hoping that someone in the medical feild such as a doctor, surgeon, PT, PA, NP, nurse, ect, will take the time to read my long long query!

Thank you so much in advance!

I am in search of products in the market that I can buy that will detox my internal organs. Those that cleanses it or purify it back to its original health. Other than Blessed Herbs that is… since it's 4,476pesos here in the Philippines… And other ways of detoxifying the body internally… Aside from juice fasting which i don't understand so much. Please provide me some effective experienced products that you may suggest and experienced or tried… Thank you.

i would like to try an herbal one, but i'm waiting til after i come back from my vacation in 3 weeks…so for now i'm gonna try a natural. i leave for my vacation in exactly 2 weeks and i'm off from school all next week so i thought that would be a good time to do it. my plan is to drink a bottle of water mixed with lemon juice as soon as i wake up. i'll have at least 64 oz of water a day. also, i will have fruit juices (grape, orange, mango). i'm gonna try not to eat a lot of "solid" food (no meats, pastas, junk food, ect) mainly i wil try to stick to fruits, veggies, soups (lentil), jello, nuts and fiber one cereals. i was thinking of having an activia yogurt each day too but i read somewhere that dairy might interfere with cleansing…

does this sound like a good plan? if i do this for about 10 days, will i have gotten a lot of crap out of my colon?

Serious! I need to cleanse my colon and bring in the new year fresh & clean….

anyone….?

Please share any methods that could also help with a better colon movement etc.
thank you

Does anyone know of something herbal or something i can make at home to cleanse my colon. I dont want to purchase anything at first because it may not work.

I want to do a colon cleanse with blessed herbs but it seems to be pretty expensive and I don't want to do it if it's just going to be a waste of my money. I am definitely into cleansing and have done liver cleanses with GREAT results, but I'd really like to feel I'm getting my whole body clean since I've accumulated a lot of waste over the years. If you've tried Blessed Herbs, or anything else that works, let me know!

Has anyone tried an herbal colon cleanse? I ve done some research and a lot of doctor’s say they are a load of bs. Anyone have any input?

Well, i researched on the internet could not find a damn thing about this stuff, it is called Purifast 30, 30 Day Colon Cleanse. 90 tablets 500 mg, made by Eastern Essentials. I even called the phone number, and it is just busy all the time. This stuff must be old, i found it in my moms cabinet, but my boyfriend wanted to do a colon cleanse so she let me take it. I am a little iffy on letting him take it though, since it could be over 10 years old. Any suggestions?

It has a proprietary mixture with 500mg Rhubarb-Mass of Roots, Cassia Seed-Seeds, Licorice Root, Coptis-Mass Of Roots, Scute Root, Persica-Seeds.

I just completed a colon cleanse with a kit from Blessed Herbs with laxative herbs, psyillium and powdered bentonite. My skin has been cleared and I feel more energetic after the cleanse and now, I've also been eating better with high fiber diet and lots of clean water.

I was quite regular prior to the cleanse with 1 bowel movement every day. After the cleanse, I am regular but frequently get 2-3 BMs a day. Problem is, I cannot understand why my stools are now so much thinner, but long. Prior to the cleanse, I had fatter, shorter stools.

Is there a chance that the psyllium/bentonite got stuck in my intestines or some other obstruction? I've also done a couple of enemas but my stools remain thin ( around 3/4 inch ) and long. I'm not constipated and I pass stools easily.

Will somebody who has knowledge of what's going on put my mind at ease? I really don't know how to deal with it if I got something stuck in my colon.

Please do not recommend colon cleanses or herbal remedies, they don't work for me, I have tried them ALL. I have tried all the special diets too.I have had this problem for 17 years and it is in the colon / upper intestine.I have had 2 colonoscopies in the last 3 years.They saw nothing weird, but you cannot detect candida that way, or so I have heard. I do not have vaginal yeast infections ironically, probably because my urine is super acidic, but I see symptoms all throughout my body in the last year that the yeast has infiltrated my system. I have read The Yeast Syndrome by Towbridge and done extensive research, but I think the best answers come from others who have used medicines themselves.I have used the highest level probiotics that helped, but did not resolve it. I know of Nystatin and Fluconazole, but have yet to try. Need a recommend.Oh and my doctor(s) do not believe in this particular strain of candida and do not want to prescribe anything due to the cost of it. Nice huh?
Thanks for the answers so far, but I am NOT guessing anything. I was diagnosed 8 years ago as having this and lost my health insurance right after that, so I had no continuing treatment. My current doctors don't want to deal with it due to cost and their beliefs and changing doctor's is not easy as I am not on insurance even now. Also taking any type of active probiotic is a waste of time until the Candida is killed off. My original doctor way back told me that and all the medical websites confirm it. You are wasting your money buying or taking anything to balance the intestines until the die off happens from the drug treatments. The Candida will just kill off the healthy bacteria as it is so much stronger. It appears that Diflucan is the one to use at this time. And the book The Yeast Syndrome was written by an expert in the field. I have had this for 17 years and have researched it extensively, I wanted a drug answer as specified in the original question, nothing else.

I have found a diet that doesn't bother my stomach and was wondering how healthy my diet is. Let me add I am about 35lbs over weight and I take garlic, cranberry,cod liver, vitamin b, cinnamon, cyanne pepper and a colon cleanse natural herbal suppliment every day in addition to the food. Today I had 1 cup boiled broccoli, a cup of beef bullion that I added raw mushrooms too, a total of 3 cups white rice (over the course of the day) a chicken tender that was grilled and seasoned with taco seasoning, and a bowl of tomato soup that i mixed milk and 1 pat of butter into. Ive had 2 glasses of water 3 glasses of lemon water with honey and 2 cups instant black coffee with about a half a spoon of honey.. Is this healthy and will this diet cause weight loss in addition to being kind to my tummy?
