I agree with Mowmowci..... she says her M. says they are scams.....

Why do people think they need a cleanse? I hear these claims that your intestines hold all this old stuff...... pounds of it...... not true...

I had a colonoscopy done a few years ago, and had to do their prep.... several days of a light diet, and the last 24 hours, liquid only, followed by a big laxative dose and metamucil.... there was NOTHING left in there...... and yes, I did have the diarrhea caused by the laxatives, but it wasn't like pounds of stuff....

Just wondering why people do these cleanses......

You know what? I just finished my Humaworm cleanse and really obey the instructions. I didn't experience like others say, too. No difference in my body, too.
My mom said all of these cleanse things are scams.

I concur with Malia B.! I heard these "cleanses" do more harm than good and people buy into the "cleansing" aspect for weight loss. Sigh...

Not only are these cleanses scams, they can do damage.
Eating raw fruits and vegetables is a much healthier alternative.

Hi M.-
I'm a wellness coach with Herbalife.
I'm not certain who you got this from, but they should be working 'with' you to answer your questions.
The reason so many people love the herbalife cleansing system is because there aren't any dramatic issues- no gas, loose stools, all those lovely things no one wants to experience.
What it does is gently change the environment in your colon- and the overall ph so you can continue to be healthy. We do the cleanse 3-4 times a year. Me- about 2.
The one tab helps get rid of the bad bacteria while the other over time as it can take hold, provides the healthy probiotic ones who will keep you healthy. Your intestinal villi will stand up more, less matting down- like your fingers (cell activator helps with this too) so you can absorb more nutrition in your small intestine too.
Most people by the end of the 21 days, feel different.
Some actually see things in their stool - coming out - that have been logged in the diverticuli (one guy reported crayons he ate as a boy and eww yea sounds bizarre) but most don't. Most just feel more energy over time.
The aloe- it works the same as outside on your skin- healing from the inside. We use that daily in our shakes. The allatoin is taken out so there is no problem ingesting it.
Florafiber- that is more of the healthy bacteria. I don't usually have my clients using that during the 21 days cleanse- no need to with the am/pm formula unless you didn't get that. I'm wondering if taking this is complicating what you might otherwise see/notice??.
I use florafiber daily to keep me regular and make certain I'm taking in the healthy bacteria. I have a client who was prescription bound to colace and more at 78+ and he takes 1-2 a day and was off scripts in a week- he was shocked. Even when he was bound up in the hospital- he had his son sneak in the florafiber- haha. You have to be careful with it- if you take it with too little water it binds you up. So you have to take that tab with a full glass of water - you just want the bacteria. Some use it for loose stools - when needed the former way.
So the bottom line, is you start to feel better and different by the end of your cleanse. Some report they have better looking skin even. Its a change going on over the month so you can move forward in a healthy way with eating and absorption. We like to start clients needing to lose over 50 lbs with this prior to other products so we know their insides are healthier to actually take in the nutrition.
I hope this at least helps.
I'm at bjarmoluk at yahoo if you have questions. Your distributor should be able to send you a video to explain what you are taking too?

Enjoy your journey to a healthier colon.

Hi M., I am a Professional Cleanse Coach with Isagenix International. www.SoYouWantToCleanse.com. I do not agree with the ladies below. The RIGHT cleanses work.

Let me explain. Our bodies cleanse naturally when we feed it the right vitamins, minerals and nutrients. When we feed it too much sugars, fats etc it gets backed up and our organs can not function properly.

Cleanses that focus on "stripping" the body are ineffective. If your expectation is to "go to the bathroom" for 4 days, please make other choices as to what you are putting in your body. FEED your body what it needs and it will cleanse naturally. Give it the basics that are not found in your regular diet and you will notice amazing changes.

I have been coaching people how to cleanse properly for over 6 years now and I still get the same question..."will i be spending all day in the bathroom?" That is a wasted cleanse...unless of course it is urination... because THAT is a natural way to cleanse. Think about it, when you go to a doctor they ask you to "pee in a cup". That is natural. When something is wrong with you, they want a bowel sample.

My company is about nutritional cleansing, it is about feeding the body so that it function properly.

Feed your body well and it will take care of you.
PS: A good cleanse provides you with a cleanse coach
