Colon Cleanse  a.k.a. Colon Hydro Therapy?

Eating grapenuts everyother day doesn't sound appealing, unless you really like it.  Your bloating and stomach pains are the real problem you need to work on.  The plugged up colon is the by product of what is happening in your stomach.  First get your stomach working well again.  A digestive aid for your stomach is Hydrocloric acid (pills or capsule).  Next get some enzymes for the intestines.  Then get some acidophilus for digestion.  Are you over eating or eating the same foods everyday?  Get more variety in your diet.  Are you brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth?  A clean tongue will taste the food better.  Your sense of taste is vital for good digestion.  Without it you won't make the digestive juices that are needed for assimulating food.\nLast is the colon cleanse.  If the colon is plugged up, nothing leaves the house.  Its like sweeping the floor with the door closed.  You can't get the dirt out.

This question is under Computer Monitors?  You might get more help in another forum.\n\nFor a colon cleans you should eat plenty of green fiberous vegatables and drink lots of water. Multiply your body weight in pounds and multiply times .55 to get the minimum number of ounces of water you should drink in a day.  So if you are 200 lb you should be drinking 110 oz's a day of water.  You need the water to purify yourself and wash out the impurities.\n\nAvoid "white foods" during this time. No white bread, no milk. High fiber bread is okay (but not your average "wheat bread" which has little fiber in it).  Read the labels!\n\nOil in your diet is important as it helps provide lubrication and revitalization for your cell membranes.  I recommend Udo's Choice Oil Blend - use it as a salad dressing. It is a blend of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 oils in a proper balance.

I've had one colonoscopy and had to drink about a gallon of some sort of electrolyte solution that was absolutely terrible. I understand they also have pills, but both are currently being researched for their effects on the kidneys. See if this recent medical article talks about the preparation you took and I wouldn't overreact to the initial research findings which may be unconfirmed as yet:\n\nhttp://www.upi.com/ConsumerHealthDaily/view.php?StoryID=20051227-040717-6095r

Research alternative cures. Over 100 are available, but your doctor isn't allowed to tell you about them.\n\nI have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods.\nEventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html\n\nBy reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases.\n\nI believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine.\n\nSome cures are listed on the web page too.\n\nIt is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging.\n\nCLEANSING\nThe best way of cleansing is to fast.\n\nhttp://www.phifoundation.org/menses.html\nhttp://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1996\n\nbut if a patient is too weak for that, or does not fancy the idea, then alternative cleanses are available.\n\n\nColon Cleanse\nhttp://www.soundfeelings.com/free/colon_cleansing.htm#recipe\nBowel cleanse\nhttp://www.curezone.com/schulze/herbal_colon_cleanse_1_2.asp\nkidney cleanse\nhttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/kidney/default.asp\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_12678_kidney-cleansing-fast.html\nhttp://www.falconblanco.com/health/cleansing/kidney.html\nhttp://www.healingdaily.com/colon-kidney-detoxification.htm\nhttp://www.healthfree.com/cleansing_programs_kidney.html\nLiver cleanse\nhttp://www.drclark.net/en/drclark_protocol/illnesses/liver_cleanse.php\nGallbladder cleanse\nhttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/default.asp\nhttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.asp\nPancreas cleanse\nhttp://curezone.com/dis/1.asp?C0=261\n\nDIET,\nThe best diet is vegetarian, avoiding all processed, frozen or micro-waved foods and drinks, and based on fresh fruit, fresh vegetables - preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Drinks should be clean water or freshly squeezed orange juice.\n\nMany researchers promote the benefits of vitamin B17 as a healer. this can be found in the following foods:\nApple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.\n\nA commercial preparation of B17 is available called Laetrile.\n\nEXERCISE\nExercise should be sufficient to create a sweat, but not sufficient to make you gasp for breath or feel over-tired. About one hours exercise every day is best.\n\nDEBUGGING\nThere are various theories about how bugs create cancer.\n\nHulda Clark suggests that parasites are the cause, and that they can be disposed of by using a zapper.\n\nZappers are available from\n\nSuper Zapper DeLuxe\nhttp://www.drclark.net      Clark Zapper with amazing features get a free CD ROM\n\nhttp://www.paradevices.com/zapper_works.html\n\nTerminator Crystal Orgone Zapper Blood Purification Parasite Solution\nElectrical stimulation devices for blood purification, parasites, relaxation, and addictions.\nhttp://www.elixa.com/estim/zap.htm\n\nHigh frequency parasite zappe

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.

I am not a doctor, and if you are experiencing problems, only a doctor can diagnose the cause and provide the particular treatment you need.\n\nEpsom salt laxatives (magnesium based) can "evacuate" the entire colon, but are generally not used to "clean" the colon. (The term cleaning, as used for GI surgery, etc)  Usually a Phospho-soda laxative combined with a bisacodyl enema are used for surgical cleaning.\n\nThere are several types of laxative preparations, each with different actions.  A pharmacist can recommend over-the-counter brands that might best address your needs, however, if you do not experience relief when using them by the package directions, it's best to consult a physician.

Colonic treatment is NOT Dr. recommended. It is a scam, and its usefullness is a myth. A basic understanding of the human digestive system is lacking in those who throw their money away by going to the charlatans who perform high priced enemas.

Why spend all that money when you can do it for less?  Try the Salt Water Flush.\n\nDIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of luke-warm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of Sea Salt . Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.\n\nIf the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possible take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way—the salt water way.\n\nMake sure you're around a toilet for a couple of hours!

"best" intestinal & colon cleasing products \n\nNo such thing.  No valid medical benefit to this practice.  Just a lot of myth and medical quackery.

Have you already gone through the full kidney and colon cleansing processes?\n\n        Kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a huge amount of liquid, and taking care what you are eating. Just a better diet with more water can be enough! But, also any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys! The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet  is also a Kidney cleanse, juice fasting is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting that incorporates a lot of liquids, will in the same time clean a kidney. Do you need special herbs? Only if you have acute lower back pain, clear symptom of Kidney stones (sharp glass like crystals, made of phosphoric acid, or sometimes may include other acids). In special occasions, you can get a kidney stone crystallized in less then a few days !!! To melt a stone/stones, you may need a few weeks, or one day with the Watermelon Cleanse.\n\n           Herbal Kidney Cleanse  Designed by Dr. Hulda Clark from her book "The Cure for All Disease", explains in detail how to cleanse the kidneys, and her cleansing program will get rid of most if not all the stones, WITHOUT surgery.\n        Ingredients:\n\n            1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root\n            1/2 cup Gravel root\n            1/2 cup Marshmallow root\n            4 bunches of fresh parsley\n            Goldenrod tincture (leave this out of the recipe if you are allergic to it)\n            Ginger Capsules\n            Uva Ursi capsules\n            Vegetable glycerine\n            Vitamin B6 250mg\n            Magnesium oxide 300mg or 1/4 cup Green Drink Beverage\n\n        Measure ¼ cup of each root and set them to soak, Together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal container and a non-metal lid (a dinner plate will do).  After four hours (or over night),    bring liquid with soaked herbs to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.  Drink a ¼ cup as soon as it is cool enough.  Pour the rest in through a bamboo or plastic strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers.  Refrigerate the glass jar.\n        Find fresh parsley at a grocery store that does not spray its produce (ask the owner). Boil the fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes.  Strain out the liquid, then drink ¼ cup when cool enough.  Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint.  Put the cooked parsley in your compost bucket.\n        Dose:  each morning, pour together ¾ cup of the root mixture and ½ cup parsley water, filling a large mug.  Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs. of glycerin.\n\n        Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get a stomach ache and feel pressure in the bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose.\n\n        Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice.\n        After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the kidney cleanse for six weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems.\n\n        Also take:\n\n            Ginger capsules: one with each meal (3/day).\n            Uva Ursi capsules: one with breakfast and two with supper\n            Vitamin B6 (250mg): one per day\n            Magnesium oxide (300mg): one a day\n\n        Take these supplements just before your meal to avoid burping.\n\n        Some notes on this recipe: this herbal tea, as well as the parsley, can easily spoil. Heat it to boiling every fourth day if it is being stored in the refrigerator; this resterilizes it. If you sterilize it in the morning you may take it to work without refrigerating it (use a glass container).\n\n        There are pro

Hi There\n\nHow about a colon cleanse? The average american has between 6- 20 pounds of excess toxic fetal matter in their colon. If your not going regularly 3 times a day, then the colon needs to be cleansed. This is how most illness and disease is started from the toxins sitting in the system and then gets into the blood. \n\nThe liver is the organ that helps burn off fat when working properly, so consider that as well with the colon cleanse.\n\n Drink a gallon of distilled water a day as well to help flush the toxins.\n\nBest of health to you

Hi Suresh\n\nIt's obvious you need to cleanse your colon (you probably have candida). Here is an idea on how to start the healing process.\n\n\nA Quick Action Plan for Dealing with Candida \n\n1. Find out if you have Candida overgrowth through Darkfield Microscopy blood work testing, electrodermal screening, or other reliable screening, and proceed accordingly. \n\n2. Eliminate all sugar and sugar-containing foods, including alcohol, sweetened chocolate and soda. Eat no fruit other than grapefruit, green apples, and small quantities of berries. Release caffeine products, including coffee and black tea. \n\n3. Do not eat foods that contain yeast or flour such as bread, biscuits, muffins, bagels, cookies, etc. Avoid fermented foods such as soy sauce, and only use apple cider vinegar. \n\n4. Obtain adequate amounts of essential nutrients including vitamin A, beta carotene, all B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, chromium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, essential fatty acids, and the amino acid, taurine. \n\n5. Supplement with the probiotics acidophilus and bifidobacteria. \n\n6. Take digestive enzymes, including ones with amylase and cellulose, as they help eliminate unhealthy yeasts while also aiding overall digestion. Hydrochloric acid (HC1) may be useful as well. \n\n7. Useful herbal remedies include barberry, caprylic acid, citrus seed extract, garlic, goldenseal, oil of oregano, Oregon grape, and tea tree oil. \n\n8. Avoid the use of antibiotics, birth control pills, and all synthetic hormones. Avoid conventionally produced inorganic dairy products, choosing raw organic dairy whenever possible. \n\n9. Dealing with Candida requires a comprehensive treatment approach; significant improvements may not be noticeable for three to six months. Seek the help of an alternative health practitioner experienced with Candida, if you need support. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

"Colon cleansing" is medical quackery that produces no benefit except a lighter wallet in gullible people.  Don't be one.

Physician here:\nFirst of all, they do NOT need to be "cleaned"\nThe small intestine is the "upper" bowel. It is the "piping" that connects your stomach to your colon, or large intestine.  The small intestine's job is to absorb nutrients like protein, sugars, and fats.  The large intestine or colon re-absorbs water.  The excess is excreted.\nYour bowel does not need to be cleaned.  This in fact is quite dangerous no matter who tries to convince you "how great it is."  There are MULTIPLE reports of bowel perforation. This is a medical emergency.  You would need to be taken to surgery immediately.  Infection is always a HUGE risk.\nYour colon has natural bacteria in it, which keeps us from other infections, especially something "nasty" we ingested.  This colon cleansing gets rid of our "good" bacteria leaving us wide open for really bad infections.\nI would recomend NOT DOING THIS.  Any fiber increase (fruits, veggies, metamucil) will natually soften the stool for easier elimination.

Hi Monica\n\nAt least you know what is causing some of your issues. Most people wont admit the obvious. The most important thing you said and you're aware of is the assimulation of nutrients. You're right that is a serious issue. \n\nI use a product called Superfood (herbdoc.com) and you take it with water or juice and it gets into the blood within seconds, instead of food digesting (long process) or taking a pill and it goes into the colon and activates there without much vaue at all. This product is the best Ive experienced through many years of using different products (I sound like a salesman).\n\nMost importantly you need to do a Colon Cleanse (probably a liver cleanse as well). Must remove the toxins that build up there especially with the serious toxins you put in your body. When they sit in the colon they eventually get in the blood and cause illness and disease.\n\nYou're acknowledging your issues and that is the first step to correcting your health and life in general.\n\nI know you'll figure it out. Way to go!\n\nBest of health to your family\n\nCheers
