…would you recommend it as a cure for undiagnosed skin conditions? A couple of years ago I tried the Arise and Shine cleansing kit for 2 weeks and I’d never felt better in my life. For the last 8-9 months I’ve been having skin problems all over, most notably my nether regions which have been red and irritated and sometimes rashy. The doctors I have been to haven’t been able to diagnose it (and keep prescribing me yeast meds or steroid creams) and have referred me to a dermatologist, but I have no health insurance and I’ve wasted so much money on doctors already. I want to try a more holistic method as I’m getting tired or spending money on doctors that try to treat the symptoms rather than get to the root cause. Does anyone with experience with cleansing recommend this for skin conditions? Or is it best to just suck it up and see a doctor? I suspect it may be related to mold sickness since symptoms started within a week of taking psychedelic mushrooms – but I haven’t told this to any of my doctors and I hadn’t considered it a likely cause until recently.
P.S. in response to the answerer who claims colon cleansing only being good for constipation, I must add that when I did it previously, I noticed my skin and hair had improved greatly and that my senses were sharper. But I was also relatively healthy when I did this cleanse, so I am iffy if it will help my current condition.

Okay – so I’m 50/50 on the whole colon cleansing….I was strongly for it earlier today – but now after reading some more – I’m doubting…..

For medical professionals – What is that "stuff" that is coming out of people’s colons?!? Is it waste? It looks nasty….and personally – I don’t want that in me……but what EXACTLY is it?!?

Tell me if your info is a Theory or Fact and from where you get your information…..do that – and you’ll get best answer!
I guess I should’ve been more specific….
that stringy stuff that you see in pictures from Dr. Natura’s website…etc….what is it actually?!? I hear "waste" etc – but I’ve also read that it’s fibers of the cleansing system that are for lack of a better word "put" together in the digestive track….Just wondering if anybody knows what that nasty stringy stuff is!!

I run every day but I hate it. It’s the ultimate proof of the set point because I run 9.6 miles a day, don’t overeat or eat much in the way of fattening foods and yet I never lose more than the same 7 pounds. I’ve been running for decades and it’s never done anything for me other than maintain my weight.
Endorphins are a farce also. At best all they can do is keep you going but in no way comfortably without pain in the heels of your feet (plantar fascitis) and excruciating boredom. An Ipod doesn’t help because it’s in your ears too long and gives you a headache and it keeps falling off your pants waist. It doesn’t stay secure…Thoughts on how this proves that Nature is brutal and that we’re all under the stupid notion that Nature intends to heal us and give our bodies stabilizers. If I don’t run I gain weight exponentially and can easily balloon to 250 but I’m livid that I don’t get down to 180 from such strenuous running every day. I stay at a ridiculously high 194 running 9.6 miles a day and watching what I eat…. Don’t you colon cleansing nuts dare answer this question hawking your websites!!
I’m bored with you saying you love running. What are you, an impala? It’s not normal for people to love running.

I gave birth to my second child in June of 2007. Throughout the whole pregnancy I was constipated. I still feel that way. The second part to the question is….I have worked my butt off. I have done diet after diet and I have been working out and I can’t lose the weight. Will a colon cleansing help me lose some of the weight and help me to not feel so constipated. And does anyone have any good ideas on how to lose weight even though I have tried really hard. Please help me!

Do I eat it or what?I’ve heard so much positive things about this one item and I want to try it.Is it okay if I don’t try it with the colon cleansing or not?Please try to give me a thorough explanation on theses questions.

My friend and I are having a debate about colon cleansing. He says that everyone should have it done and it’s necessary for optimal health. I say that it’s not necessary, but only optional. I think that the authors of those books and the creators of these colon cleansing programs are just trying to find a way to take advantage of and make money off of people who don’t know enough about the human body and how it works. What are the pros and cons of a colon cleansing? Is it really necessary?

Okay, so you know how in the Diet&Fitness section we get all those spam answers about how to "lose weight"? Y’know, the ones that go "I lost weight doing such and such, click here to find out more!!" (by the way, acai berry does NOT burn fat, it’s just filled with antioxidants…at least, that’s what my research says…I’ve been drinking pomegranate/acai berry juice for years and have not lost a single calorie because of it..It just tastes good to me).

So anyway, I came across one that said, "I cleansed my colon and lost weight!!" (more or less.)

What I want to know is, HOW in the HELL is that related to weight loss? And anyway, isn’t it incredibly dangerous to get a colon cleansing? I heard that it results in all kinds of problems, including getting a bad case of the runs.
Lol ironic how I’m blasting the "colon spam" and yet I get one of those spam answers here. Anyway, yeah, I just never understood how POOPING had anything to do with losing body fat. Hell, if I could lose weight by taking a dump, I’d be a supermodel right now.

im 5′7 i weigh 154 pounds ughh ! im on a diet right now . im eating right and excersising atleast 35 minutes a day monday-friday. i picked up some weight over 2009 i used to weigh 137 and now im 154. i would like to lose some weight but i dont wanna look limp and super skinny i like having my ass and hips(: lol here are my measurements 36b/c – 32"- 39" . what do you think ? im also wondering if colon cleansing works and makes you shed some pounds? like the colonix ? any tips or opinions?

You don’t want a colostemy, & can’t get enough nutrients & calories from Ensure. (laxatives don’t work- documented).Enemas partially work,sometimes.Colon cleansing
won’t work due to no contraction/spams of colon.

I was clicking through the tv channels yesterday and I found 3 talk shows that were discussing poop. Why?

BTW, please don’t post links to websites for colon cleansing. Advertise somewhere else. Thanks.

What would be the best way to detoxify (cleanse) the internal organs, without doing a colon cleansing irrigation flush???

I’m in Ontario Canada. My son, who is 9 years old, is not overweight, nor is he skinny. He’s a very tall and slightly stocky boy. I need to stress he is NOT overweight so please don’t give me diet advice, or colon cleansing B.S. lol. I’m looking for a store that sells affordable children’s pants in sizes that are NOT plus size but are also not made for stick-children. I have a hard time finding something that is big enough around the waste, and also fits his legs. He usually wears elastic waist, but I’d like to buy him some regular jeans. I’m having a hard time finding a store that has normal sizes. Not all children are stick-thin or overweight. There IS an in between. Help me please. I’m willing to shop online, so if anyone knows of an online store with interesting sizes that would be great. Thanks
For the record, I felt the need to stress that he isn’t overweight because I asked this question already and all I got was a bunch of weight loss tips.

I have an event I need to lose my tummy for. I know colon cleansing is not "necessary" but I want to know when to do it if I want the weight off/flat tummy for Saturday?
I KNOW they don’t work long term.. i just thought if I did one on Friday then on Saturday my stomach would look better. But I would like to do it Thursday and didn’t know if it would be back in 1 day or 2. Please don’t give me opinions on if you think it’s right or not. This is a one time thing.

Am seeing more and more about this…does it work? What time of the day should you use it? How long does it take to work on you. What happens to you when you use colon cleansing stuff? Is it fluid, pills? Just curious…Thanks!

right i went to see my doctor about a year ago which told me i was a stone over weight he said its nothing majour but it would be nice to loose a little preferably a stone, i have tried everything the rosemary Conley diet with size portions ect, tried the fat diet ,tried exercising everyday you name it iv done and in the proses i only managed to loose 8 pounds ! so i went back to my doctor which said i wasnt doing enough exercise ! although i have i completely changed my life style with the outdoors, so he told me he couldnt rescribe me nothing cause i wasnt obese (which i totaly dissagree with) so i looked up on the internet acai berries and colon cleansing, the berries are all natural ingrediants and the colon cleansing takes all the bad toxic waste. now everywhere i look im being told its good for weight loss even the chemist people say as its just like the alli which cost about £40, now my question is to you does this work and have you had and succsesfull weight-loss with this or another ?

I am going to start dieting & exercising starting this week and i researched colon cleansing and am going to do that to help loose some extra pounds at first and to make me healthier. My question is, what is the correct procedure? I am going to use laxatives (the natural way would take 3 weeks of only drinking liquids and eating NO food).

I used to weigh 135 pounds last year, now I weigh 124. I am 14 years old, and I stand at 5′3. I want to lose about 10 more pounds. I want to start a permanent healthy lifestyle and maintain a weight of about 115. Any ideas for my diet? When I say diet, I don’t mean like a fad diet, I mean what kind of healthy foods I should eat for my meals. I am aware of the 5-6 small meals a day and I do currently skip lunch and breakfast, which I know is bad, but I never really have the time, but I am going to change that starting tomorrow. So all I ask is, please help me out without those colon cleansing and acacia berry crap. Thanks

are there any draw backs to colon cleansing

Is there any truth to the benefits for muscle building, fat loss and metabolism boosting from taking Acai berry supplements with colon cleansing detox simultaneously?

My son has a tournament in a few days and I’m a bit concerned about him meeting his weight. Even with chewing vitamin C pills and cutting back on eating I recon he’ll still be a bit too heavy. Colon cleansing seems like it’ll take off a few extra pounds for the weigh in. Any ideas?

Hello I started a forteen day acai colon cleanse, not to lose weight just to flush out whatever. Anyways, this is day three and today I passed blood. It wasn’t bloody stool it was just blood. I’m not in any kind of pain and I’ve had two "movements" without blood since then. I did tons of research months before starting this cleanse and I am still doing some now but I cant find any reason I should be passing blood. Is this normal with colon cleansing?

LA Fitness and Shaq 24 Hour Fitness are the only gyms worth joining. The rest of them including Gold’s Gym are ratholes where there’s no maintenance. How are you supposed to prevent blowing up like a balloon? Not everyone wants to be a vegetarian, eat bland foods and have to drive yourself crazy thinking about every piece of food that goes in your mouth. And I don’t want to hear any crap from vegetarians about how delicious the food they eat is. It’s unacceptable as a steady diet. I also don’t want to hear anything from the idiot who swears by colon cleansing. Colon cleansing is life threatening. Case closed. And running or walking 5-7 miles a day outdoors is insane. Even if you listen to an iPod it’s unbearably monotonous. Your feet burn like fire not to mention how much your legs hurt from running or walking long distances on asphalt. Besides walking or running outside will not tone your muscles and make you lose weight anywhere near as well as a proper workout in a gym will.
LA Fitness and Shaq 24 Hour are so unreasonable. There’s no way they should charge any more than .99 a month. .99 a month is a joke. They act like working out is entertainment. It’s sweating and suffering but absolutely necessary to keep functioning and not get so fat that you’re a sitting duck for all kinds of ridiculously painful conditions and life threatening diseases. What’s wrong with the world that oblivious idiots run everything?
You’re all idiots who are living in a dream world and have no understanding of what a logistical nightmare all the suggestions you’ve made are. The only answer I got that made any sense at all was the one suggesting the free workouts you can get on youtube. But I’m sure those workouts are just a drop in the bucket compared to how much exercise you need to stay fit. No pain, no gain is the brutal truth.
And the idiot who said that TVs, pumped up music and more varied classes are entertainment in the more upscale gyms must own or manage a gym. Entertainment when you’re sweating like a pig and your body aches from strenuous workouts. You’re just saying that because you make money off it. And I wouldn’t do that for a living for all the money in the world. You have to be a musclehead to work in a gym. And I’m not ranting. What I’m saying is reality.

colon cleansing is advertised constantly on my local radio station, I go for a colonoscopy every 3 years will this show if I have a membrane that the cleansing is suppose to remove ???
read the question before passing judgement,,,I don"t go around looking for an enema

got a product and consulted with a health person that they work for cleansing purposes, but does cleaning out your colon work? And how long does it take with pills to do it? How can you tell if it is working? and does it make you smell, I mean it makes since if it is getting the toxins out of your body that it would make you smell more….But will it really help me loose weight? and will you continue to loose weight after you stop taking it with your body cleaner? just any knowledge on colon cleansing will help. I can’t afford the kind of colon cleanse from a doctor, so this is my only option by the way.
these are natural pills, not laxatives…And I work a lot and have a toddler so not eating isn’t an option because I need to be alert and I can’t be walking around spacey all day.

Please quit it. This is a help network, not your personal marketing space. Your colon cleansing, supplements, and other crap is a waste of peoples money and their time when they should be eating healthy and exercising.

i need to lose weight quikly but without colon cleansing or detox or these kinds of diets
pleasee help moiiii
Thxxxxx )

A co worker is advocating a colon cleansing system, drnatura.com, and says that he no longer takes any meds, and even stopped taking insulin shots. Colon cleansing etc, scam or real?
