My dad has no health insurance because he was recently fired from his job. He has always had constipation and lethargy due to a poor diet, lack of exercise, and lack of sleep. The other day he told me that he had a strange sense of fullness. We had dinner at 8 pm at night and he told me he was still full at 2 pm the next day. His exact words after dinner were "I could have eaten more" and then the next day he says "I feel really full for some reason". I thought it was strange and then on in the week he told me he had a bloody stool. He is trying to calm himself down by saying it is just hemorroids but I think it could be early stages of colon cancer and he is deluding himself. Without health insurance, what should he do?

You know, the one form Oprah and Dr. Oz, and where ever else its shown up at. I want to know a few things;
1. Does it actually work?
2. I never actually read the articles, but I caught wind that it is bad for long term use. True or false?
3. Is it okay to use to jump start a diet? I read, I believe it was a News 6 article, of a woman who lost 25 pounds in 4 weeks. If it can do that, then that’s just the motivation I need. After the 25 pounds, I’ll be off it and on to the normal healthy stuff like I want.
4. Where can I find it without ordering it online? Come on, I’m 18, I’m at my last year in high school, I still live with my parents (who are a few of the last people I want to know what I’m trying to do) and I don’t exactly have a bank account or whatever. BUT I do have a job, lol. So, would the products be easy to find in a store? Like, there’s one in the mall full of weird health supplements and stuff. Maybe?
5. What exactly is the RIGHT products for this? I’ve heard of ColoClean, Colon Cleanse, Acai Fit, Acai… something I can’t remember. What EXACTLY is the right products for this new hype?

Mind you, if it is actually unhealthy for long term uses, I just need the 25 in 4 and I’m calling it quits for sure. Even if it was okay for long term use, I’d still call it quits. So, no speeches and lectures are nessecary. Pleeeease ^-^

I feel the need of cleansing my colon. Reason: Chronic constipation, indigestion since last few months, obesity, heavy-feeling on waist-stomach part, slight pain in part above bowel-passing area which makes me feel as if my colon is not okay and may require some cleansing.

I exercise occassionally. I m generally a stressed out person with something piling on my personality – emotional stress or physical or job stress.

While browing thru net, I have come accross a product known as COLONIX. Pls refer to website below.

http://www.drnatura.com/colonix_program.php

I need to know if this product can be safe to us.

Or, pls suggest me some "Natural way of cleansing colon" without having to take some medication.

I want to be healthy but in a natural way. I eat lot of fruits, green veggies and normal meals. I am fond of drinking milk-tea and put two-three spoons in it each time (I drink upto 4 cups daily). I like to eat McDonalds and some junk food like chips/chocolates/cookies/cakes. But I m not addicted to these and eat these 2-3 times in a week.

But I want to know if anyone of you have ever gone thru colon cleansing and felt better. Or if you have not gone thru colon cleansing and still feel better.

All answers are welcome!

Thanks for reading and answering my query!

Say you had a symptom of colon cancer maybe 4 years ago, but then 4 years later you feel fine, energetic and still feel good and healthy even after hard days labor, have a good appetite, no nausea or fatigue, etc and still have the same normal weight is it a good chance that you dont really have the cancer? Or would the symptoms actually get worse if you really had the cancer? Reason i ask is because 4 years ago i saw blood in my stool ( which i did go to the doctor and it turns out i have a pilondial cyst which bleeds periodically) I was 18 at the time and now im 22, and even tho i went to the doctor I was still so scared about this, he assured me i was fine, but since im pessimistic it still has been in the back of my mind for the past 4 years that I think about it all the time. Since then iv become obsessed witht he consistancy and frequency of bowel movements etc, and have also become more anxious and nervous ever since. Physically i have no other symptoms and I havent really had anything else aside from occasional gas, etc but nothing persistant. I did a colon cleansing and that seemed to work and increased my bowel frequency. Lately though iv been very nervous and my bowel movements though normal, feel like htey are smaller than usual when i go. Is this cause of my nervousness? Iv been to the doctor and he says its just in my head because i think about it all the time, but i still say that ever since i seen the blood in my stool, even though the pilondial cyst was doing it, I still get worried. Physically i feel fine. I work a physically gruelling job 40 hours a week, sometimes 9 hours a day and i have alot of energy, I eat alot, and my weight has been the same since i can remember, the only thing is that I get extremely anxious and nervous and i still cant seem to stop worrying. I figure that if i really would have had a cancer for this long i might feel sicker , but im still not assure, nothing ever puts me to ease, not even a doctors word.

Apparently I can lose as much as six pounds in one week just by cleansing my colon. And it must be an issue, because there is no shortage of people out there who are more than willing to help me. I guess maybe all those toxins are worth something to someone. Is it worth quitting my good aerospace job to pursue a career cleansing colons?
You guys are killing me! This is hysterical!

Traveling back and forth to Florida to take care my Dad going through colon cancer treatment. Looking for on line job.

I’ll start off with some background info: I am 24 yrs old and had a baby 15 months ago. Prior to having my daughter, I have had my moments where I’ve lost a lot of weight and got to a point where I could run a mile and a half but that’s exactly what they were….moments…for the most part I haven’t really been in the best shape I could be in. Since having my daughter my lifestyle has gotten much more unhealthy. I am up 60 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight (that just jerked a tear out of me) and can’t exercise like I used to be able to. I don’t eat many fruits and veggies and I am classified as "extremely obese." I do a lot of yo-yo exercising (start for a little while then stop for a long while) and to make matters worst, most of my weight is in my mid-section. When I had my last physical (5 years ago) I had borderline cholesterol (that was about 50lbs ago so I wouldn’t be surprised if I tipped the scale by now). I am absolutely sick and tired of this lifestyle and I know that if I continue on this route I probably won’t be around to see my grandchildren. I have decided to become a raw foodist and am in the process of doing all my research before I begin.

So here’s my question: I have very little energy and elimination problems. I know it is because of all the toxins that are in my body due to my poor diet and lack of fiber. They say the average person is walking around with 10-15 lbs of feces in them so I feel that I probably have twice or thrice that amount. I really want to completely detoxify my body and colon before beginning my new diet. I don’t know if I should buy some type of detox program or just start the diet and let it do its job.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

My dad had colon cancer & his job let him go. They said he failed to turn in an paper for his leave. We know it’s bogus. But he still needs to get chemo.

I know you’re not supposed to eat anything, but I’m doing this for the weight loss, not the detox.
Also I do not want to do the tea or salt water flush so I’m going to need some fiber.

I really don’t want to eat on this diet but I don’t want to not be able to have a bowel movement either.
Unless I can take some sort of fiber pill that will take the place of the lax tea? Is that possible, and will it do its job?

working mom with disabled husband has been stricken with pancreatic cancer that has spread to colon. she has no sick days from work – husband gets ssi and is not able to work. she has no health benefits from her job but is receiving Cobra – which is not enough for her chemo and radiation. please if someone knows of a means of help, please answer.

Here is the problem. I was talking my best friend last night. I look up to him, he is my strength.

He was feeling really down… Because he said he no longer wants to be the man in the moon.. He said he has done the job for too many years and needs a break.

well now he thinks that a women should take over, and call it in the women in the moon. I dont agree, i like the sound man in moon better….

I am not sure what has him down. I dont know if it was the fact that the sun was so over powering yesterday, that he could not sleep.. He does sleep during the day.

Because he works when it is dark out… I know he is depressed about day light savings time.. This means it gets darker soon and the nights are longer. So he has to work more hours…

He is also feeling constipated and bloated.. I told him to catch a falling star and make a wish, so he could have a good bowel movement and cleanse himself….

will you talk to the man in the moon for me and tell him all will be ok

I’ve lost a bunch of weight, but have really been stuck for a while with what I would guess to be around 10 pounds of fat. I really can’t diet and exercise much more than i am right now, and I’ve been thinking that maybe a colon cleanse will do the job. How do these cleanses actually make you lose weight? Do these cleanses help to burn fat, or is the weight that you lose just junk trapped in your body. What I’m asking is whether I’ll lose pounds of fat, or just weight. Thanks.

gee some of you need to get a sense of humor…. at least I am not 13 or so on here. asking..
am I pregnant…

I take a lot of meds which cause constipation. I’ve tied over the counter fiber drinks, fruit & vegtables, cereal but I am not going regularly. I’ve ask my doc who suggested the above. Is there anything out there that can do the job? Thank You

I have been put on a different medication which side effect is mainly chronic constipation. I have tried almost all of the over the counter popular ones, Phillips, Correctol, and others but I really need something to do the job of good cleansing. I have stopped taking the medication but still I am not normal with my bowel movements. Greatly appreciate any recommendation

I am on day 7 of the internal colon cleanse; two capsules in the morning & two capsules in the evening. Yesterday I began to feel gas pain & bloating and was nauseated to my stomach and found myself running to the bathroom several times during the course of the day & these symptoms have continued over-night and into today. Is this a normal effect of these cleansers? Is that just the cleanser doing its job? I should add that the first 5 days of taking the celanser I had a very bad cold & felt extemely fatigued. While I was sick, I didn’t have much of an appitite or much bowel movement until the cold subsided.

ok, has anyone out there had any experience with colon cleansing or the products that claim to do wonders? I have a group of friends that are using some form of tea that is supposed to do the job. And when I check for products on-line, there are many out there. Some even claiming to expel what looks like monsters from your body. It sounds almost too good to be true (all the benefits). So, if anyone has any stories to share about products and results, that would be great.

I will be starting the master cleanse soon and I would like to know the minimum that I can take the laxative tea/salt water solution? I don’t want this to interfere with my job, so can I just take it in the evening before bed? Is every couple of days possible?
Also, do I need to do both laxative tea AND salt water or just one? How should I switch off between the two?

I had gastric bypass, which was pretty much similar in the terms of being on a liquid diet and starving, and I didn’t have to do any laxatives or saline and I was fine in terms of bowel issues. Other than the fact that I had very few.

Sorry about all the questions, I hope there are some experts out there to help me! Thanks

like it’s really sharp and feels like it shoots all the way up there…it lasts for a few seconds then goes away. lol when I get them my eyes bulge out cuz of the sudden pain…is this common, or something serious, like should I be worried about it? I am 14, female, NEVER "did anything". lol so I know how some of you joke about "that stuff"…and I know probably none of you are doctors, but maybe some of you are.
I was in at the doctors this past week because I was having diarrhea and nausea and stuff like once or twice every week, she said I might have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). but these pains have gone on for many years, and I don’t get them a lot.

hmmm…maybe I should become a doctor…I ask so many health questions on here…
no, it’s not from my job…I don’t have a job…lol…I mentioned earlier that I was 14. I go to school

I have hydroxycut cleanse but I don’t know when I sould start trying it, because I don’t kno if its goning to alter my reaular bowel movments by making them more frquent, and I can’t be going to the restroom every other hour because I have a job and nightschool. I’m very busy throughout the week and I can’t be worried about going to the restroom the whole time.
so plz some tell are they going to be more frequent and unexpected????

I thought it’s probably hemorroids, but I bought some Preparation-H the kind with the suppositories and cream, but it didn’t help at all. There’s also foul smelling discharge seeping from the area. It will go away for a couple of days but then just comes right back. It’s so painful and uncomfortable. This started about 2 years ago, wasn’t so bad at first, there was no bleeding at first, but now recently, there’s been quite a bit of blood when I do bleed. I’ve already made an appointment to see a specialist at a colon and rectal clinic, but soonest day they have is almost a month away. What can I do in the meantime to help alleviate these symptoms? I haven’t gone out at all since I started having the rectal bleeding and foul smelling discharge because it’s too embarrasing and uncomfortable. Thankfully I have a job where I work from home, but even that’s getting very very difficult to do because I work on the computer and am sitting for hours a day. Can anyone please recommend anything that may help in the meantime?

It’s a cleansing kit consisting of not only a colon cleanse, but also a liver, lymphatic, circulatory, and kidney cleanse… I have a guaranteed job at a movie rental place waiting for me, all I have to do is turn my application into the manager who I got in good with … but that means I have to stop smoking marijuana (also I want to) but I also want a "farewell" smoke tonight lol … so keeping in mind that I’m into fitness, I exercize regularly, will the body cleansing kit help?

I am getting ready to sign up for flexible spending at work. I need to know about how much surgery would cost. I am pretty positive I have colon endo. I am going to go back to the doc to discuss this once I get insurance. I told a former doc that I have always bled rectally when I have my period (for about 18 years now) and she looked at me like that was the strangest thing she had ever heard of and recommended a colonoscopy (which I am about to have done.). Also, I have a very physical job (I walk 8 hours a night and lift heavy boxes). How long do you think I would need to miss work? Thanks for any help.
Before anyone asks. I didn’t seek help for this before because I have bled like this since I first started my period. I never thought it was abnormal (I know duh!). When I told the doc that I was having pelvic pains I had an ultra sound and laproscopy and they discovered I have PCOS.

I read that an unhealthy overworked colon that does it’s job less efficiently can result in unprocessed toxins that end up reaching the joints and that building up and creating sore joint pain
- so secondly would anyone know of any effective colon cleansing supplements – Thank You very much for any help!
It’s always good to look at research done on both sides of the issue, so for anyone that’s done that, Thank you.
