My dad has had colon cancer for maybe 5 years now, the last 5 years through this his health has been up and down and up and down. To make a very long story short he is now at the point where the cancer has spread to his lungs and liver, and can not handle anymore chemo, surgeries, or any treatments. His oncologist says he wants to just keep him "comfortable". Right now my dad seems to be doing and feeling alright. Which is shocking to me because his CEA is 1,300. Four weeks ago it was about 1,075. And and x-ray yesterday showed the leasions on his lungs. His only complication is a cough and some diarrhea. How long can this last? What does a CEA level that is this high really mean?

I’ve been doing a little bit of reading and found out that cleansing a person’s colon can improve health and help you build up more energy. Does anyone out there know a good and proven way of naturally cleansing colon? Any tips and advice will be well appreciated. Thanks.

There are so many colon Cleansing products on the market, I want to know which one is safe and how it can help my health.

It is said that cleaning your body is good for your health. Has anyone ever had this done, and what is the process, what is the average cost if insurance does not cover. Has anyone ever tried The Lemon Diet aka The Master Cleanse Diet ? Are there any opinions or either or.

When kind of adverse affects if any occured? Did you lose weight? Do you feel healthier?

Here is a link to the version I am considering.

After reading detailed reviews about people taking colon cleansers and seeing various sci-fi like things come out of themselves, I’m wondering if detox is really useful or not. I once took a 7 day Cleanse program from GNC, and I felt better after using it, but I don’t know if that had more to do with my healthy diet and exercise. I saw all these pictures of intestinal goop and while most research says that the liver can do just fine detoxing the body, what about the goop? All of that stuff can’t be good in the colon, but does it present dangers to ones health to take all that fiber and who knows what else? Technically, what would that in depth, complicated colon cleanse offer that say, a dose of Metamucil couldn’t? All those reviews said they got flatter stomachs, better sleep habits, etc etc etc… What is happening here? I find myself oddly interested in a program, but I don’t want to just be in the bathroom all the time, especially at work.

Thanks!

I have worked in the GI feild for several years and i am aware of the basic symptoms of colon cancer. Recently (as in the past 2 or 3 days or so) my mom’s health has taken a 180 turn. Vomiting,nasua,black watery stools,weakness,etc…with no fever….the first thing that comes into my mind is signs of colon cancer…maybe its just me being paranoid but we have a bad history in our family of this and she also has had ibs in the past (which increases your risks) she has had a colonoscpoy in the past and everything was good….shes now due for one…i reffered her to one of my old drs i used to work for..but..i want to know if you or anyone u know personally with colon cancer had any symptoms prior to a colonscopy and detecting the cancer? and what made you think you may have colon ca?

What did you use? Supplements? Bowel irrigation? And most importantly, what effect did it have on your overall health and quality of life?

Hi,

could someone please tell me more about what is colon detox and why or how it will improve/benefit my health? Could someone also please give me some step how I can do/have it done at home myself? I use to pick up a bottle of citracid from walgreen and drink the whole bottle in the morning in an empty stomach. It works really well, but I am not sure if thats good enough.

any advice is greatly apreciatted.

I barely use the bathroom, maybe about twice a week sometimes not at all for a week and a half. When i do go its usually hard, and i have to strain. Sorry for the visual. I feel fatigued, depressed and as much as I try to eat healthy, (fruit, vegetables) I neither see nor do I feel a difference. Don’t get me wrong, i haven’t always been this conscious of my health or what i eat. I used to smoke cigs and I did have a 12 yr affair with Mary J. leading to massive junk food consumption. A friend recommended that I get a colon cleanse (not the kind you swallow). I’m a bit skeptical, not only am I not comfortable turning my exit into an entrance, but I hear that these procedures sometimes do nothing. Should I get the cleanse and if so, should i get a pill or is the other method best? I’m really worried, what should I do? Any diet plans or alternatives. Are enamas also colon cleanses?

I am currently taking a weight loss supplement called "Nuphedrine". So far Its great, no jitters or racing heart and I’m losing weight! I would like to also do a colon cleanse for additional weight loss and overall health. Is that safe to do and if so what is a recommended product that works?

I recently read a book about bowel cleansing and how it can affect your entire health. Having a not so healthy or compacted bowel can lead to all types of diseases. Constipation is a sign of problems in the bowel, and I have been experiencing that way before I became pregnant. It’s all sorts of herbal programs along with having a doctor cleanse your bowel that are out there. I understand that you are also supposed to change your diet. I REALLY want to get started on a program but don’t know if it’s safe because I am pregnant. All the products are all natural but I think maybe could still harm the baby. I really want to have my bowel thoroughly cleansed and my Immune system boosted to it’s highest potential and also all of my internal organs, cells, and tissues detoxified to restore my body back to normal functioning. Has anyone pregnant done this or know of anyone that has? Or does anyone have more info or recomend any particular product or program that is 100% safe for pregnant

it seems like every question I ask about health
at least one person will answer saying

quote "nothings worked for me untill i tried the acai berry diet. …….. and then they’ll post the website"

unquote

it seems like people who use the acai diet are turning into robots who must manipulate others into using it

is it just me
or acai brainwashing human kind?

Does anyone have first hand experience on a colon detox to help with my immune system? I have bad health and we think this might work. I also am on a limited income. Thanks in advance!

"Hitler's health has long been the subject of debate. He has variously been said to have suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, skin lesions, irregular heartbeat, Parkinson's disease, syphilis, and a strongly suggested addiction to methamphetamine."

Did he complain of constipation and bloating or what?
