Colin Cleanse (Page 1 of 2)

....herbal and gentle....????!!!!!!... Have you seen the picture of what the "results" are?!

I can't imagine how "passing" something like that would be "gentle" by any stretch of the imagination.... looks like that herbal cleanse "throws the baby out with the bathwater" (if you'll excuse the allegory)

Pictus, you're getting your money's worth out of that one aren't you!

Hi all, hey no offence taken glad to be able to help someone laugh even if it is at my expense . Glad that we have sharp people here that can catch the mistakes and make enjoyment of it.  Have grown much since  found this place but still have far to go. I started out six years ago with no mind just the basic functions when  was twelve I started doing drugs, any and all that was to be found drinking to, did that till was forty  am glad that what is left can still grow. Any who reads this and does drugs better think about this. I thought it was not harming me ha, did not know how bad till stop doing them. Now have to right stuff down that need to remember and have to keep my life as simple as possible.

Things are much better now that can think for myself still make mistakes and have learnt that is how to grow learning by my mistakes which is rough sometimes but hey LIFE IS GOOD.

One does not know what is inside of themselves .

Hi Cipher I had a good laugh to out of this especially Pictus pic. And learned how to spell colon, also to get out my WordPerfect before posting have a bad habit of spelling the way it sounds lol
that has gotten me into trouble more than once. Also have a habit of seeing the funny side of something that someone else takes real serious this has gotten me into trouble to but, hey be real!
You and all are very welcome to any enfo that I can help someone with.

If I refuse to be offended how can any one offend me.
                           
If a person has a clean diet it would be more gentle but if a person eats a lot of junk food watch out and do not look into the toilet after a bowel movement while doing any colon cleans. Like the site says if you have a bad diet start out slowly and change your diet to.

Zonabi asked the million dollar questions!   

I did one of those "Cleanse Smart" colon cleanses put out by ReNew Life in early 2003, and I would STRONGLY DISCOURAGE people to do this.  In a nutshell...it "fried" out my insides, and they've never worked right since.   

With Cleanse Smart you pop some pills in the morning, and then this other set of pills in the evening, each set of pills a big mish mash formulation of all these herbs and things, and it *makes you go.*   Think of what GrapeCaoDizzle mentioned in his poop thread, about going 5 times a day, and his whole "This is serious, folks..."   It's like that.  But what's actually happening is the herbs are artiificially stimulating your intestines to go.  And go go go you do.  It cleans you out....not in the way that you see in the previous link that showed examples of some gastly colon cleanse extractions....but you do go go go, a lot. 

Problems arise when you suddenly finish your bottle of herbal pills and are now supposed to just switch to going on your own.

After 30 days of being on the pills, being artificially stimulated, your intestines no longer want to do the job on their own.  They get lazy.   The muscles have been forcefully stimulated to such an extent for so long that they actually become physically weakened.

So then you find you're not going on your own anymore....and have to buy more pills to go!!   

It becomes a vicious cycle.  Very, very bad. 

Some of these herbs, if taken long term, do liver damage, and I started going down that route.  My body also began having bad reactions to the pills.  I'd get a fever with simultaneous chills, and severe cramping, the kind that doubles you over.  Bad, bad bad news. 

I don't care what anybody says.  I think this colon cleanse thing is a load of bunk. 

To answer zonabi's last question - Yes, absolutely, you can help clean yourself out just by eating the right high fiber foods, and had I known that back then, I would have just done that!!!    If you're not allergic to wheat, then try shredded wheat or raisin bran.  Adding a bowl...or two!....of that to your diet a day will help bring about a natural of elimination that DOESN'T harm your intestines.   I won't be all gross and describe why fiber works, people can just Google it and discover for themselves. 

Here's a thought that's emerged due to the recent "cleansing" product fanaticism......how do we know that the products that we're taking for these cleanses, be it intestinal, gall bladder, etc. and so on, aren't creating the very same icky by-products that we see being expelled when we go????   Now there's a thought.  I'm not going to claim to have come up with it though, it's something that I read on the 'net and it really gave me some pause. 

I don't know about anybody else, but there's no way in hell you could get me to go on one of these really hardcore intestinal cleansing/detox programs that result in the elimination of what you see in that aforementioned link that somebody posted.   That is fricking SCARY.   Not to be crude, but that looks like somebody seriously shitted out their own intestines in those photos.   That's not right. 

I think the trick to proper colon care is:  Eat the right foods.  Don't eat system gunkers.  And add lots of fiber and water to your diet.  A proper diet, in conjunction with a steady stream of fiber and water will help anybody get rid of the excess stuff that's stagnating in their colon area, and prevent future gunk from building up. 

Okay, that's my 2 cents of grossness for the week. 

Enzymes are virtually mandatory these days. More specifically, amylase for carbohydrate digestion. If I consume wheat products, I make sure I take a full spectrum enzyme supplement that has amylase in it. Cellulase is a good one too. It breaks down the cellulose in food products.

Actizyme from Nature's Plus is what I use (http://vitanetonline.com/description/NP … ZYME--180/). It assists in the broadest spectrum of digestion, in my opinion (even lactose intolerance).

Most food produced today has been hybridized or engineered to remove as much enzymes and phytonutrients as possible, all for the sake of shelf life (hence profits). My motto is: The longer the shelf life, the crappier the food.

When I was a teen, I used to suffer for anywhere from 8 to 14 hours of excruciating pain in my intestines. Pizza was a huge no-no. My mom took me to the "premier gastroenterologist" at the IU medical center. They ran all kinds of tests, "to no avail" . . .

The food wasn't being digested. It was literally putrifying in my intestines, and causing a blockage.

Years later I had a hair analysis done, and found out that I wasn't assimilating the expensive vitamins and minerals I was taking. The healthfood store owner recommended enzymes, and ever since that epiphany I can pretty much eat whatever I want. I wanted to go back to that hospital and choke the sh*t out of that doctor for his innate incompetence!
