If you are unsure, I would tell you to read and gather as much info about before you proceed.

I am always skeptical of articles with a lot of "blah blah" quotation marks. What is the motivation behind these sites? Look though several sites, and books, for confirmation and details of procedures. 20 inches stuck up there? 20 gal of water? I've never heard that before, but I am always looking for answers. Knowledge is power.

The reason I started was I believe that once I started taking pills for this and pills for that, that is was never going to stop. I have serious doubt in the billion $ Pharmaceutical companies! The more research I do into our foods are produce the more it scares me. Most companies are just into it for the money, so if it is cheaper, bulkier, last longer, looks good, who cares if it is void of any nutrients? It taste good!

Plus I really value the opinions of people that go though these procedures and cleanses. Only do what you think is right for your body.

My 2 cents,

This reminds me of my distilled water question.

I bought distilled because it had nothing in it, which I thought was good. Then someone said no, that's bad. I posted a question on another forum, and I got an article about how distilled water sucks all the minerals and vitamins out of your body. Then a while later someone posted another article about how it had been proven that that wasn't true. I weighed the evidence, and am finishing the distilled, but buying spring water the next time.

In your case, just talk to the people who've tried it. I myself have only been here a few days, but the worst I've heard of is the cleanse just not doing anything spectacular for some people. I'm on day 3 and everything is going fine for me so far...

Hello
I have been very sick for years. I had 2 colonscopies, two endoscopies, a lot of ultrsounds, .... a lot of medicines.. It means a lot of money wasted. A lot of suffering and frustration.

When I finally got to a point I barely could work three hours a day, overweighed, extremely tired, depressed, with many, many symptoms I did not find any answer from conventional medicine.

I decided to prove alternative health. The bowel cleansing is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I feel a lot better. I am not completely "cured" yet, but I feel now I can improve and improve.

I had a severe constipation. A lot of toxins. With my bowel cleansing I passed out pounds of mucoid plaque. I could not believe what I was looking at. With my Liver Cleansing I passed a lot of stones.

I am now fighting candida, and I will have a kidney cleansing. I feel now more in control of my life and I really recommend bowel/parasite/liver cleansing.

But conventional medicine will never recommend any of this things because for the research is developed toward the market, and even though most of conventional medicines have very dangerous side effects, they recommend them because it is a business. Read any medicine specification, you can find real bad side effects. But they sell them. Any bowel cleansing is a lot less dangerous that those new drugs they are selling

Bowel cleansing if well addressed will be safe and you are going to get great benefits and no side effects.
One more thing: be aware of the necessity of a learning process, comparing alternatives, learning about ingredients and protocols. Because not all the herbs are recommended, for example laxatives as senna and cascara sagrada should not be used on a regular base.

Finally: diet, good life style, exercise, emotional healing, are also part of the cleansing/healing process.

Love and blessings

I would be very wary of anything you read on the QuackWatch site or by Stephen Barrett (sp?). There was a thread of posts on one of these forums a couple of months ago debating him. Someone provided evidence (links) that Stephen Barrett had tried to take a few alternative health practitioners to court. The end result was that Stephen Barrett went down in flames. He seems to have an agenda, and it doesn't seem to be to help people.

The cleansing protocols that you find on this site will help you, they're not dangerous. The medical profession has an agenda to make us afraid of these protocols because they lose money when we become healthy. It's quite simple actually.

Just take things slowly so that you feel comfortable with what you're doing and try to get rid of the fear! Once you've cleansed a bit, you'll feel great, be comfortable and feel like a pro! You'll be back here posting suggestions for others! Remember people have been cleansing for thousands of years. Animals intuitively know how to cleanse themselves. We've just become out of touch.

Take good care,

Well i had 4 sessions of colon hydrothearpy and i can say that it was one of the better things i did for my health.

I was in some what good shape when i did them. I did 6 months of eating healthy, exercise each day, lots of vitamins, colon and parasite cleansing before the colonics. No question that they helped.

Even if YOU PERSONALLY accepted everything those whiners said, YOUR reason is due to constipation. Right? Case closed. Even if you do not accept one iota of what we've said can be accomplished through cleanses - clearing up constipation is a given!

Get some IF 1 and be done with that problem.

Thank you so much. I'm convinse now. I'm supposeto get clensing things tomorrow in the mail. Can't wait.
