An update about my experiences using the Colonix program.....
I did the main Colonix program (the colon cleanse which includes parasite killing herbs and psillium, plus the Kleritea) for about six weeks total. During the first few weeks I felt a definite detox process going on, plus evacuated some interesting things that I'm glad to say goodbye to!
I didn't lose much weight during the program itself -- I have that classic extra ten pounds that I'm always hoping to get rid of. But I just stopped the program, and what I notice now is that I have a baseline clarity (mental and emotional) that's really nice and different that wasn't there pre-cleanse.
And the other REALLY cool thing is that my sugar cravings are TOTALLY gone. And that's a major thing for me. The reason why I've had this extra ten pounds is that, while I don't overdo sugar, I do tend to like to munch on cookies or pastry as an afternoon snack. And with that tendency, which I've realized was truly an ongoing addiction for me, the ten pounds just kept hanging out. I haven't been working out much in recent months, but even when I was working out, that extra tend pounds (not muscle mass, either 
just hung there and wouldn't budge.
Well, I remember there have been some articles in women's mags lately about "How parasites are making you fat!" and I think that this info may be partially correct! Parasites definitely have their own "appetites," some respond to sugar and carbs.
I'm not an addictive type otherwise -- I've thankfully never fought a smoking or alcohol addiction. I do enjoy caffeine though and probably will not be giving that up at any point in the near future, although I do find myself cutting back now after the colon cleanse.
So what I want to share is that by killing off the parasites to the point where you no longer have this inner "chorus" of impulses urging you to overindulge in sugar, it's really amazing...I lost about seven pounds really fast. But this was AFTER I ended the cleanse.
And I'm eating less, have better metabolism and energy overall, and can definitely say that for me the Colonix program was an excellent program to be on. The psillium is really high grade and not as obnoxious tasting as so many of the other psilliums out there. Plus it's blended with other herbs that all add to the colon cleansing process. I don't think I'd feel right going on the cleanse for more than six weeks at a time, though, and they recommend an initial three month cleanse if you've never done one before. My body very clearly "told" me that six weeks was enough. And then I will do another one in six months, I think, as half-year maintenance.
We ended up buying "his and hers" Colonix and ended up with a lot of extra, too. So I think you can probably safely just buy the smallest amount, like a six week amount, and have good effects.
Anyway, I'm thinking now that parasites DO make you fat in that they keep that sugar craving raging in the background (carbs too) to the point where you simply can't stick to a diet of any kind. I just was completely unable to get rid of this extra weight in recent years through dieting because this "noise" (loud parasites, perhaps!) was always going on in the background, demanding cookies!
I really feel for people dealing with much more severe weight problems, because it can feel like you'll never lose the weight. Well, now I personally recommend doing a parasite cleansing program (and perhaps the colon cleanse, too) because you might end up really "curing" yourself of the underlying addiction that is making it hard for you to eat healthily.
Now I'm craving healthy foods, too, and I'm hyper-aware of what I'm eating, not in a crazy/paranoid/anorexic way, but more in the sense of evaluating food to see if it is clean, well-prepared, and highly nutritious to my body.
I always WANTED to be the type of hippie new age chick who craved healthy foods and never even got close. I like this reality ! I think the colon cleanse and the parasite program in combination really helped my metabolism and blood sugar/insulin system readjust itself nicely.
So let's hope I can maintain it!
I look forward to hearing other reports here from people doing their own cleansing. Details, details!

PS NBC's very funny show Scrubs, set in a hospital, had on a silly episode last week where the whole episode was staged as a musical. The premise was that a woman patient was admitted to the hospital for examination because she would always hear everyone around her singing all the time, so she needed a brain scan. This set up an excuse for the entire show to occur in song.
Being a musical theater veteran, I LOVED this episode and thought it was hilarious. One of the early numbers in the show took place when the doctors came around to do their initial check up with her. Of course, as part of this, they ordered a stool sample. This led into an all-out showstopping number called "Everything Comes Down to Poo," which celebrated stool sampling as a diagnostic tool for everything that ails you - from shotgun injuries to pregnancy to being poked in the eye with a screwdriver. Always, the one eternal constant, is that doctors will order a stool sample. It doesn't matter what's wrong with you. Everything does come down to poo.
