I have heard to help lose weight one should do a colon cleanse to get rid of toxins. I just want to know what I can do with out spending lots of money.

I love questions like this. There are hundreds of books out there that say something like "death begins in the colon" and "cleanse the toxins" and other rubbish.

While there is truth to poor diets causing ill health (Americans eat a lot of fat and have a very high incidence of colon cancer), there's a lot of myths too.

Fiber is the key. Instead of looking for miracle cures, adapt a healthy lifestyle. Eat whole-fiber, low fat foods and read labels. (While you're at it, cut down on the salt too). Just reaching the FDA's recommended allowance of fiber daily can be a challenge. (No more fast food!) Also, drink plenty of water. You can't flush out the bad if it's stuck like a rock inside of you. (Constipation hurts). Finally, exercise. Along with all the other health benefits (and burning calories, duh) regular exercise will promote peristalsis (the regular movement of stuff through your insides).

Seriously though, it takes some work to keep yourself healthy. Keep at it. And please stay away from people who are going to shove stuff where it doesn't belong and "flush you out". That's really not good for you. Also, stay away from laxatives unless your doctor suggests it. They can have very bad side effects.

Just eat right and exercise.

Footnote: Enemas and Go-Lytly are not good! You can severely imbalance your sodium and postassium levels! (read: heart failure) Don't stick things up there unless a doctor (a real doctor) tells you to!

I took 4 capsules this a.m. of an organic colon cleanse. I'm trying to lose weight. How long before this stuff kicks in?

did you stop eating? Take a few a day and you will notice a difference within a day or so. ITs not going to make you have diahreah (SP) it will just aide to the health of your colon/

I want to do a colon cleanse without taking any pills. Do I only drink liquids?

Are there certain foods like fruits I can eat?

How long do you stay on it and what effects does it have on you?

You didn't say how old you are. Doing a colon cleanse is a good thing but the rules have to be followed for you to do it in a healthy manner. There is a tea that you can get from your health food store. It is a TEA NOT a SYSTEM. Follow the directions. Also try drinking more water to keep hydrated. Try more salads and fruits. Stay away from junk, you konw the junk I'm talking about! The teenage junk food!

Im constantly bloated latley, stressed out, not going everyday. I think I need a good colon cleanse, and something to remove the waste weight.

Any sugguestions on products or foods.. I am on a tight budget.

Thanks!

If all you think you need is to take a good poop, then eat a lot of natural natural fiber in the form of raw vegetables.

Now, if you think need a colon cleanse, then you need to go to the doctor and get a colonic. "Safe" and "Cheap" are two terms that do not go together when discussing medical procedures. Also, no magic food or drink is going to roto-rooter your bowels.

This is a good representation of the start up instructions for an actual Colon Hydrotherapy session at our East Cobb, Marietta, facility. We chose Colenz professional Non-Medical device because it offers the least invasive, most modest & private sessions around. This is what our clients want for their colonics.
