Your colon knows how to cleanse itself. Eat enough fiber. Those colon cleansers are a scam.

They stick a rubber hose up your backside and shoot water up you. It makes you sit on the loo for half a day and then you are "cleansed". I think that if our colons needed cleansing, God would have made us with a hose. Since he hasn't ... no cleansing for me, thanx.

my suggestion would be a mild Colon cleanse, all bad things start in the Colon and if it is gunked up it will cause bacteria to grow and cause lots of skin problems, I have a teen that had bad acne and we used all types of cleanser and such no help 5 days into 21 day cleanse cleared up and no problem since. for more info email me

Is Natures Colon Cleanser to remove Toxins from the Intestines; For decades herbalist’s have known that Psyllium is one of the highest sources of dietary fiber. One of the best colon cleansers, it swells up to fifty times its size to bind and remove toxins from the intestines. It has been used to treat ulcers, colitis and constipation and help clear away excess cholesterol.\n\nPsyllium seed husk powder is just psyllium grounded into powder.

For the most part they are not worth much.   They are pushed by unwitting people who believe your colon is full of "toxins" and terrible stuff which needs to be cleaned out.  Most people who push this nonsense also seem to want to sell you some quackery to help with this so-called problem.\n\nIf you have ever seen the inside of a colon, you would be amazed at how clean it is.  The only need for "cleansing" your colon would be to prepare for a colonoscopy.  The other reasons are pure junk science.\n\nFor more on this, read the Quack Watch article below.\n\nSave your time and money, and be happy with the way nature intended you to clean your colon - defecation!

Definitely!\n\nI have colonics done at least once a month. The average person loses 5-25 lbs of waste.\n\nIt rids your body of built up waste - you think clearer and just feel so much better!\n\nI definitely recommend them!

Astragalus herb may be a good cleanse. Always research and take less then directed to see how you feel first.

My husband had a foot of his colon removed and is doing fine. However, if they remove the entire colon (I'm assuming there's something like hardening of the arteries taking place there) you may have to have a colostromy bag. My brother just had that procedure and is also doing very well. Be sure to find out exactly what your doctor is planning on doing....knowing what to expect will help ease your worry. \n\nSurgey can be frightening and there are always risks involved, but I am sure it is for the best. You won't feel anything during the operation, but you will be sore afterwards. They'll give you medicine to relieve the pain and place you on a special diet until you're healed inside. Today they make smaller incisions and people tend to heal faster. You will probably be allowed to go home after just a few days.\n\nI wish the best and may you make a speedy recovery!

Hi there,\nIf you have a problem with your colon I would rather recommend a Tsp. Psyllium Hulls Combination from Nature's Sunshine in a glass of water or juice and 2 capsules of Cascara Sagrada also for Nature's Sunshine. Eat them around 6 clock in the evening and you have no more problems. Colonic is not just a 10 x thing and it will get costly after a while. So think about it, if the same thing can be done the natural way. Good Luck

Yes I have been going through the same thing. I bought an antihistimane and some generic claritan I am starting to feel better.

A great colon cleanser is Castor oil. I take four ounce and devote a weekend a month to colon cleansing. You will have flush bowel movements in about an hour. See Sources....

I had them removed and I still suffer with new attacks, but it is not that bad. I had colonoscopy's, barium enemas, and surgery.  Many many times.  The solution for me was to regulate my bowels and the strain is gone.  I use a cleansing tea to ease constipation.

I like towgrunt's answer. I had a colonoscopy and let me tell you the prep sucked and might've been easier with some alcohol. I'd say skip it. Do you really wanna risk messing it up and having to do it over or having a complication during the procedure because of it?  Have fun! I'll tell you a funny colonoscopy story: A friend had one and before she went in they gave her a drug that makes you awake for the procedure, but you have amnesia about it after. She asked the nurse if she said anything weird during the procedure and the nurse said she asked the Dr. what made him want to look in assholes all day?! LOL

Drink a lot of water, that will helps cleans out your colons and makes you fit.\nA better alternative is to drink a lukewarm water with a squeeze of lemon, use the first gulp to cleans out your teeth and tongue and spit it out, it is believed to diminish the bacteria in your mouth. Drink the rest sip by sip to wakes up your system.\nI do a bit of yoga before I stand up, by lying down and pull your knee up until your chest and hold your breath, after release it to straight position quickly while releasing your breath, do this 4 times it will help your stomach peristaltic movement.

Rory, I am not sure what type of detox you are speaking about, but if you really want to detox it all, this is the best way.\n\nThis remedy has been used for a very long time, funny, but works wonders:  colonic!   Go get a colon clense from a specialist...if you need to detox now!\n\nOr-  as Dr. Schultz would say, you are what you eat right!\n\nThree squeezed lemon juice in the morning, plain.\n-water until lunch\n-12:00 go get a shake made or make it your self-  carrott, garlic, spinach, celery, apple shake.     Sounds sick- but works.\nwater and then a light dinner- peanut butter, nutts, hummus with vegetables.  \n Green tea in morning time, Cammomile tea at night.\n\nDo this for a week- a light snack during the day between meals- nutts, dried fruit\n\n-why carrott?  Too many kick A vitamins and minerals!\n-why garlic?  Garlic has been used for ages, it is a natural bacterial fighter, and can detox you body quickly.\n- why celery?  Celery has a mineral that helps you burn calories quicker\n-why Spinach?  It is an overall good source of vitamins \n-why apple-  an apple is great on the stomach, and it has natural healing vitamins that can help us digest our intake more regular.   \n\nThat is the best I can do-   by the way;  the first couple days you will feel very weak.   Bathroom time will be frequent-   no beer, wine, crap!  \n\nEat healthy and exercise regularly after the first week.\n\nGood Luck!
