I tried a couple rounds of the herbal Bowel Cleanses like "Ultimate Cleanse" with no real results.
I started going to a colon hydrotherapist in Jan. and she does herbal implants to help with the bowel cleansing. The main one she uses is cats claw. I retain it for 10 minutes and then release. I've done that twice and got some really nasty looking stuff out. The only drawback is it causes pretty bad cramping for awhile as it is pulling the gunk loose. Then for the next couple of days I'll feel pretty toxic as more stuff is loosening up and I do enemas to clear the stuff out. The hair shed increased for awhile and I expected it as anytime I get really toxic feeling it does.
She has helped me tremendously with my energy levels as I think I am finally absorbing nutrients for the first time in about 3 years. My hair shed is slowing down a bit and I'm going to hold off on any more cleansing as my daughter is getting married in June and I want to give my hair a chance to improve some before then.
