HiKelly, I have used a colon cleanse. I take it at night and the next morning it cleanses without the pain and cramping from most. It is herbal and botanical. I have also done a 7 day cleanse (alsoherbal/botanical), but this is more intense but does a great job. I felt like a new women when I was done. The first & second day were ok, third day had to stay closer to home, then the rest was just getting rid of residual. I will be doing this one probably every 6-8 weeks. The products were from Arbonne International. I could help you order if you would like.

Not sure why you think you need one. Fiber and a clean diet keep you clean but if you need something I would suggest an organic probiotic and an organic fiber supplement. Look on www.we-us.mychoices.biz for them, they are made by Nutrilite and that company has been growing and making organic supplements for the longest of anyone and I trust the products.

There are lots of people that talk about colon cleanses and for some people it makes 'em happy but it is sort of unnatural to force your body to excrete and then go back to the diet that makes you want to do that in the first place.

Probiotics and fiber, and some digestive enzymes when you indulge, lots of water and of course the basic thing is a good diet. The only thing an enema is good for is......I can't think of a thing.

Hi K.,

Do it the night before you have a couple days off. Plan no outings, stay close to the bathroom. I myself make sure I eat what is good for digestion so that cleansing is not necessary. My "Going Green" company makes a line of natural cookies, crackers, and cereals, plus fruited bars and yogurt bars that are excellent in inspiring your body to cleans naturally. We also have a very pleasant tasting drink for those that feel a need to use something like that daily. You will also need something to restore all the good bacteria you'll be purging at the same time. We make a little tablet that has the equivalent of 10 yogurts and 10 frutits and vegetables. I no longer have "leaky gut" using these products which is why most people cleans in the first place.

If you want to learn more, contact me.

Good Luck ~ F. ###-###-####

It's not just the colon that needs to be cleaned. It needs to start with the liver. I highly recommend using Zand system cleanse. It takes 1 week to comfortabvly cleanse you. Another option is a juice fast, but that's often hard on the pancreas. Why do you feel the need?

Hi K.,
Good for you for wanting to start the cleanse process.I have had many friends use the cleanse below with amazing results. At first I thought the pitures were fake until my friends secretly told me they had seen the same things in their toliets. When I am done nursing I will use this product. Make sure you do a raw food diet for a few days before beggining any cleanse. And then try and keep your diet as clean as possible. My friends did this one or at least two months. It took 3 weeks for them to see in their toliets what you will see in the photos, so be patient. Good Luck.

Hi K.,

I never had really thought to do a colon cleanse, but the company I'm with just came out with a 7 day detox cleanse. I trust them completely, their products are all pure, safe and beneficial. It's from the new Seasource Detox line Spa line from Arbonne. It is a full body clenase, kidneys, liver and colon. It is suggested to do 1x a month!! Wow, but with the world we live in and the toxins that we are exposed to everyday....it's pretty important to keep your body free of them (whatever is possible). If you'd like more information on this product, please feel free to call me or emial. I'd be happy to get you information and let you know what to expect!! Thanks and good luck,

J.

Hi K. -
There are two ways you can do it, one is by taking something like Dr. Natura (find it online) for a few months, or you can get a direct series at a local boutique. There is one on Rancho that is called Healing Waters and they have a "closed system" that is very clean, private and comfortable. You should call them and ask about prepping for your sessions to get best results. Off and on, I've had cleanses, and they are always good for the body.

Good luck to you! - L.

My brother does them all the time. His two main suggestions: Be near a bathroom and drink at least a gallon of water that day.

He swears by them!

I've done a Master Cleanse, gotten a colonic (sp?) by a specialist, and drank "Chinese Dieter's Tea". I've also heard there are different drinks at the health food store that are great, but I've never tried them. The master cleanse takes the most discipline. Like the previous reader said, you need to cleanse your liver. It's good to do a salad diet for a couple of days beforehand. Then it's really about drinking lots and lots of fluids. The colonic was torture for me. My friend raves about them. She doesn't mind the tube stuck up her butt and says she has an after glow afterward. The tube in the butt was very uncomfortable for me. Then your laying on your back they pump fluid into your colon until you say stop and you "move" some old stuff out. It was very uncomfortable (like having 24 hour flu sensations) and I was moaning while on my back with a stranger. I, personally, will never do that again, but like I said my girlfriend loves em. The dieter's tea is the easiest for me. I find it, here in Hawaii, in the Chinese food section. I know it got real popular and was marketed that celebrities used it. It is sometimes sold for like $40. under a different name, but in the grocery store its only $3. It's an unassuming looking tea box that is usually orange or green, says Dieter's Tea, and has a person doing a yoga position on it. Let me tell you, it packs a punch. If I drink one cup, I'll go to the bathroom about 3 times within the next 24 hours. Just make sure you are near a toilet that is somewhat private.

Hi K.,

I have worked with detoxing programs for over 25 years and continue to do a 3 day cleanse at least 3xs a year. The products I use are not laxatives but actually cleanses the colon wall by softening the hardened impactions that accumulate on the walls of the colon, heals the mucous membrane, adds fiber and is a blood purifier. It is a gentle system, will not interrupt your day, but will give you added energy, shrink your stomach to the size of a fist ( normal size) takes away addictions to caffeine, nicotine, fatty foods etc. If interested, please contact me. Aloha, L.

Hi K.,
I am a nutritionist and coach my clients through a nutritional cleanse called Isagenix. I start most of my clients on the 30 day program and have them stay on this until they attain their desired results and then go on the The Total Health and Wellness maintenence program. I have seen amazing results in my clients and it is a very healthy program that does not just strip your body it replaces the good minerals, enzymes, vitamins and amino acids your body needs so you feel so much energy.
If you would like to learn more feel free to call me ###-###-#### or e-mail me at ____@____.com
Here is the website for the cleanse and if you would like to buy it at wholesale it is easy for a $36 per year membership fee. http://funtobefit.isagenix.com/us/en/cleanse.dhtml
