I want to do a colon cleanse but I don’t know how. Has anyone ever done it before? And what do I have to buy, eat, drink, and do? Will it hurt? I want to know everything about it so I can do it right. Can anyone give me all the facts?

I’m looking for a safe and natural way to colon cleanse.

im interested in doing the master cleanse but the salt water flush and taking laxatives makes me a little uncomfortable… if i need to do it then i will but i would really rather not. and i dont want to hurt my stomach but is it really necessary for me to drink only orange juice and water when i "ease out" of the diet?

I have decided to start the Master Cleanse tomorrow after much consideration. I have a few questions if anyone can help me out.

1. I weight 240 lbs. How much of the mixture should I be drinking?

2. Do you have to drink the saltwater every single day?

3. It mentions you should take an herbal laxative to help induce bathroom time. What time during the day should I take this? I don’t want to be at work talking to someone and then have to stop in the middle of conversation because my bowels are about to explode!!

Thanks,

(Please don’t tell me this is a unhealthy diet because I have already told myself I’m doing it)

i changed most of my diet and i’m eating a lot of salads with chicken and fruits and whole grain cereals in the morning but i have been getting alot of #3 so to speak. this seems to happen every time i start this cycle of eating healthy again. which has only been twice. but i know how to do it the right way now, but why is this? is my body cleansing and ridding waste? or is it something serious?
ok…i have diariah! not quite #2.

Hi,

What kinds of tea have colon cleansing capabilities?

Thanks

Or do you do the Replenish for 10 days, then the Cleansing formula for 10 days, then the colon health formula for 10 days?
-Thanks red hedd, unfortunately your answer didn’t answer my question whatsoever… please respond on if you’re actually going to answer my question and not lecture. THANKS!

i will like to use fruits to cleanse my self what can i use

On july 6 i started a parasite colon cleanser at 1 in the afternoon. Now it is 7 in the afternoon on July 7th and I havent had a bowel movement yet. This is way different than what im used too. Is the cleanser working its magic or its something else that is happening. Also should i be taking mutlivitamins while doing this cleanse.
Also i have been feeling some type of pain in the abdomen like thumping or sumthing. Is this also normal?

In the continuing coroner’s inquiry into the death of Penelope Dingle (who was encouraged by her husband and her homeopath not to use conventional medicine after she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, resulting in a tortuous death without painkillers), it is revealed that her homeopath recommended a ‘cruel’ enema (aka ‘colon cleanse’) that if taken would likely have split her bowl and resulted in death by massive infection, despite the enema containing relatively innocuous substances such as olive oil and soap:

"……a letter written by Mrs Dingle to Ms Scrayen (her homeopath) after her emergency surgery read: "Had I performed the enema you suggested the surgeon said it would have split my bowel and it was unlikely that I would have survived the massive infection that would have ensued."

Mrs Dingle also wrote a diary entry saying the surgeon had told her the use of those so-called lubricants "was just plain cruel"."

I’m not a colorectal surgeon so I don’t know how this would occur, but this seems like a very dangerous procedure that people shouldn’t be performing on themselves. If you use this sort of thing, or recommend it, are you aware of the risks involved? How can someone reduce the risk of such a severe injury?
Lightning: Interesting point at first but then it degenerated into a Red Herring Fallacy topped off with an Ad Hominem, quite poor.
(I’m perfectly happy with my janitorial duties, thanks for your concern).
Pog: It’s not my opinion, it’s that of the colorectal surgeon’s. That’s why I used the word ‘could’ in my question. If there are any other basic bits of English grammar you are struggling with, just let me know.

Lightning: I’m going to have to agree with Rhianna and Skep, it doesn’t matter how long the conversation goes on for, you just get stuck on a point (normally a fallacy) and can’t get over it. Personally I think it’s because you reach the end of your knowledge base. If ‘inability to continue a debate = spanner in the works’ then yes, that’s what you are.

I have to lose as much weight as possible for a competition so i figured i could "cleanse" my bowels. What is a good way to do this?

How about indiscernible benefits?

I just want to know if they work, if there are bowel changes, and if bolting goes away, and if there is weight loss with a healthy diet?

I just signed up for a free trial and I was wondering if it will really help me lose weight. I just recently gained about 15lbs. and want to lose it. Has anyone ever tried this and does it work?

I am mentioning this because I care and people should be made aware. While the majority of PAs are perfectly capable, just use common sense and realise that you, as the patient, should always ask questions and even get a 2nd opinion.

I see the PA for sinus problems, things like that but I make an appt with my PMD for anything else. A lot of our patients in our office have never seen their PMD. They only see the PA. That is scary to me. Two examples below:

I just took my friend to an Ambulatory Surgery Center for a procedure for a kidney stone where they put you to sleep and pulverize the stones with sonic waves. She went for prior blood tests and the wonderful bowel cleansing had to be done the night before. She got there and the urologist looked at the x-ray and said "this is not a kidney stone, it’s a shadow" and sent her home. The PA at her PMDs office diagnosed it – this girl has chronic kidney stones and has had them before – so the PA saw the shadow and said "kidney stone". Scary.

Another friend went to her regular dr and ended up seeing the PA who referred her to a neurosurgeon for her neck. This girl has numerous serious problems and her shoulder and arm were very painful, numb, etc. She had and MRI and x-rays done. She sat for 4 hrs and ended up seeing the neuro surgeon’s PA who told her she saw nothing serious on the x-rays and that HER neck was 100 xs worse than my friends. She gave her a script for physical therapy for 6 weeks and told her to come back and see another dr in the practice after that. My friend called her regular dr who said his PA should never have referred her to that dr. He got her an appt with someone else, put her in a cervical collar until then and said under no circumstances go to PT as they could do serious damage as she has 3 ruptured discs all pressing on the spinal column. The neurosurgeon did call her himself and apologize for the wait that day and told her the same thing. She said "well that is not what your PA told me" and he just apologized for that also.

Scary, scary, scary. Also, if you see the PA – why do you have to pay a full copay? You aren’t seeing the real doctor.

You, as the patient, have the right to question your doctor on anything. Don’t let anyone pressure you into something you are not sure of. Seek a second opinion. That is your right. While most PAs are very knowledgeable, they ARE NOT doctors and their findings should be reviewed with the doctor prior to making any surgical decisions, etc.
I did have this in the medical section with no response other than an idiot answer, probably from one of the PAs I was talking about. ha

When I say, patients in our office, I mean patients that come into our office and schedule surgery. We need them to make an appointment with their primary doctor for medical clearance. We do not have a nurse here or a PA.
I’m trying to give people a heads up because I care – and I get an idiot answer from some disgruntled PA – probably.

Are not every day, what can i do without activia or anything like that. I’d rather use natural things. My stomach is bloated sometimes. What can i do to be "regular". Also , are there any colon cleansing things for kids. A friend asked me. Best answer must please answer both questions. Thanks.

All in all, it hadn’t been a good day. Bad traffic,
A malfunctioning computer, incompetent coworkers and
A sore back all made me a seething cauldron of rage.

But more importantly for this story, it had been over
Forty-eight hours since I’d last taken a dump. I’d
Tried to jump start the process, beginning my day
With a bowl of bowel-cleansing fiber cereal, following
It with six cups of coffee at work, and adding a bean-laden
Lunch at Taco Bell.

As I was returning home from work, my insides let me
Know with subtle rumbles and the emission of the occasional
Tiny fart that Big Things would be happening soon. Alas,
I had to stop at the mall to go shopping. I completed
This task, and as I was walking past the stores on my
Way back to the car, I noticed a large sale sign proclaiming,
"Everything Must Go!" This was prophetic, for my colon
Informed me with a sudden violent cramp and a wet,
Squeaky fart that everything was indeed about to go.
I hurried to the mall bathrooms. I surveyed the five stalls,
Which I have numbered 1 through 5 for your convenience:

1.Occupied.

2.Clean, but Bathroom Protocol forbids its use, as it’s
Next to the occupied one.

3.Poo on seat.

4.Poo and toilet paper in bowl, unidentifiable liquid
Splattered on seat.

5.No toilet paper, no stall door, unidentifiable sticky
Object near base of toilet.

Clearly, it had to be Stall #2. I trudged back, entered,
Dropped trousers and sat down. I’m normally a fairly Shameful
Sh1tter. I wasn’t happy about being next to the occupied stall,
But Big Things were afoot.

I was just getting ready to bear down when all of a sudden
The sweet sounds of Beethoven came from next door, followed
By a fumbling, and then the sound of a voice answering the
Ringing phone. As usual for a cell phone conversation, the
Voice was exactly 8 dB louder than it needed to be. Out of
Shameful habit, my sphincter slammed shut. The inane conversation
Went on and on.
Mr. Shitter was blathering to Mrs. Shitter about the shitty day
He had. I sat there, cramping and miserable, waiting for him to
Finish. As the loud conversation dragged on, I became angrier
And angrier, thinking that I, too, had a crappy day, but I was
Too polite to yak about in public. My bowels let me know in no
Uncertain terms that if I didn’t get crapping soon, my day would
Be getting even crappier.

Finally my anger reached a point that overcame Shamefulness.
I no longer cared. I gripped the toilet paper holder with one
Hand, braced my other hand against the side of the stall, and
Pushed with all my might. I was rewarded with a fart of colossal
Magnitude — a cross between the sound of someone ripping a very
Wet bed sheet in half and of plywood being torn off a wall.

The sound gradually transitioned into a heavily modulated low-RPM
Tone, not unlike someone firing up a Harley. I managed to hit the
Resonance frequency of the stall, and it shook gently.
Once my ass cheeks stopped flapping in the breeze, three things
Became apparent: (1) The next-door conversation had ceased;
(2) my colon’s continued seizing indicated that there was more
To come; and (3) the bathroom was now beset by a horrible, eldritch
Stench. It was as if a gateway to Hell had been opened. The foul
Miasma quickly made its way under the stall and began choking my
Poop-mate.

This initial "herald" fart had ended his conversation in mid-sentence.

"Oh my God," I heard him utter, following it with suppressed sounds
Of choking, and then, "No, baby, that wasn’t me (cough, gag), you
Could hear that (gag)??"

Now there was no stopping me. I pushed for all I was worth.
I could swear that in the resulting cacophony of rips, squirts,
Splashes, poots, and blasts, I was actually lifted slightly off
The pot. The amount of stuff in me was incredible. It sprayed
Against the bowl with tremendous force.
Later, in surveying the
Damage, I’d see that liquid poop had actually managed to ricochet
Out of the bowl and run down the side on to the floor. But for now,
All I could do was hang on for the ride.

Next door I could hear him fumbling with the paper dispenser as
He desperately tried to finish his task. Little snatches of
Conversation made themselves heard over my anal symphony:
"Gotta go… Horrible… Throw up… In my mouth… not… m
ake it… tell the kids… love them… oh God…" followed
by more sounds of suppressed gagging and retching.

Alas, it is evidently difficult to hold one’s phone and
wipe one’s bum at the same time. Just as my high-pressure
abuse of the toilet was winding down, I heard a plop and
splash from next door, followed by string of swear words
and gags. My poop-mate had dropped his phone into the toilet.

There was a lull in my production, and the restroom became
deathly quiet. I could envision him standing there, wondering
what to do.
A final anal announcement came trumpeting from my
behind, small chunks plopping noisily into the water. That must
have been the last straw. I heard a flush, a fumbling with the
lock, and then the stall door was thrown open. I heard him running out
of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. After a considerable
amount of paperwork, I got up and surveyed the damage. I felt bad
for the janitor who’d be forced to deal with this, but I knew that
flushing was not an option. No toilet in the world could handle that
unholy mess. Flushing would only lead to a floor flooded with filth.

As I left, I glanced into the next-door stall. Nothing remained
in the bowl. Had he flushed his phone, or had he plucked it out
and left the bathroom with nasty unwashed hands? The world will
never know.

I exited the bathroom, momentarily proud and Shameless, looking around
for a face glaring at me. But I saw no one. I suspect that somehow my
supernatural elimination has managed to transfer my Shamefulness
to my
anonymous poop-mate. I think it’ll be a long time before he can bring
himself to poop in public — and I doubt he’ll ever again answer his
cell phone in the loo. And this, my friends, is why you should never
talk on your phone in the bathroom.

i haven’t had a bowel movement for about 4 days, should i be worried?
i feel bloated and i really feel somethings in my colon but i cannot cleanse it out,
i don’t think im constipated because i drink lots of water !
i don’t have time to go to the doctor’s cause i have to make an appointment in order to see them
which can take around a week or two to get arranged,
should laxatives be an option? but i don’t want to get diarrhea during an awkward time.

does it work and is it fda approved?

I am 15 years old and really feel that cleansing my colon would be good for my health. Also, how do you ask your parents for it? I have lost about 10 lbs so my parents constantly worry about my weight and I don’t want them to think it is because I want to lose more.

Thanks in advance
