Hi everyone, I would also suggest that you do some deep breathing exercises like the ones in Matt Fureys ”Combat Abs” This series of breathing exercises specifically focuses on the abdomen and some of the movements actually massage the intestines allowing for even deeper probing, and freeing up what is in your intestines. I personally know that it also aids with digestion of your food as well. The link is: http://www.mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html   [End]

You MUST take psyllium! And you must take the psyllium with the bentonite! And you MUST drink lots of water after the shakes! Otherwise you will clog yourself up worse than before! PLEASE, everyone go to cleanse.net! They are the first and foremost source of info on the psyllium and bentonite shakes! You cant just drink the shakes!! Most people will just get constipated, like I did severely. You have to take something like the chomper they have on that site. It has cascara sagrada which stimulates the bowels. Cleansing will work much better! I got the book ”Cleanse and Purify Thy ...

when i add water to the bentonite powder, clups of clay tend to form. even after shaking the mix, clumps remain. you do not want that in your stomach! soaking the powder in water, for say a night, may defeat the purpose as the mixture is then thickened and will not reach the inns and outs of the intestines and do its the nessesary work. suggestions ?   [End]

I have been drinking the P&B shakes but they are making me constipated. I am a vegan, have been drinking profuse amounts of water (I drank 120 oz of water yesterday which is equivalent to my body weight) and eating organic vegetables and fruits. Is there anything else than can be taken orally to replace the psyllium? I am wondering if crushed flax seeds will do the same job as the psyllium? Or can the bentonite be taken alone? Any other ideas excluding colonics and enemas? Thank-you for your feedback. Common Sense   [End]

Regarding the oil substances and the enteric coated capsules. I think it is HIGHLY likely that the oily substance you saw in your elimination was infact the contents of the enteric coated fish oil capsules. Any time your doing a cleanse, your sweeping contents out of your GI track a lot faster than usual. Also, the surface villi of your intestines is becoming coated in the psyllium stuff. So, it makes absorption of many minerals (and oils) more unlikely. You can of course re-check whether this is infact from the capsules simply by skipping several days of them and then taking another ...

Although some products containing psyllium will call themselves a laxative (ie. Metamucil)...psyllium is a soluble fiber and absorbs 40X its weight in water! Since many people are chronically dehydrated to begin with...and many who use the P&B cleanse don’t drink nearly enough water with the shakes...the result can be constipation. You are essentially making bricks inside your body if you don’t add enough water into a fiber mix!!! Not everyone will become constipated...but it happens not too infrequently.

Hi Selini, Given all the iron you are taking for anemia...I would hold off on the p&b shakes for the time being and stick with colonics.

You run the risk of getting really locked up by combining iron therapy and p&b shakes!

Doing a colon cleanse and parasite cleanse simultaneously can be really tricky...especially if you are not fasting. The reason for this is because you have to space the p&b shakes and the parasite cleansing herbs and your meals so that they are all effective and don’t interfere with each other. The shakes will alter the absorption of nutrients and herbs if taken too closely with food or the parasite cleanse. I would suggest that you either do the colon cleanse first and then do the parasite cleanse...or you can follow a program like the Ultimate Fast. I don’t agree with everything in ...

This is an exerpt from 10 ESSENTIAL HERBS by LALITHA THOMAS (my bible...I love this book!). Ginger taken internally, either as a powder or as fresh Ginger root tea, acts as a stimulant to the digestion and to the action of the intestines. This is how it gets the bowels moving without being a harsh purgative. A natural ”side effect” of drinking Ginger tea regularly is that often the intestines evaucate much more efficiently. For the worst constipation, a Ginger tea enema will immediately clear the large intesting while at the same time stimulating peristalsis, relieving gas, and incre ...

Hi Sherri, just a note regarding bladder infections. I have Interstitchel Cystitis, a condition brought on by numerous bladder infections. It is irreversable and causes microscopic blisters in the inside bladder lining. Anyway, what I’ve learned (and have done a lot of research on this) is that the bladder lining is already irritated and the long time standing ”cranberry juice, etc.” remedy does nothing except irritate the lining even more.

I have a question. I’ve been on the cleanse fora few days now, up to 7 shakes a day. I have irritable bowel syndrom. Today I had the strangest bowel movement. It was like a fat string and looked like it was shaped like my bowels, and it was aover 2 foot long. I have awful gas today. When that game out it EXPLODED out. Anyone know what this means? I was so bloated last night I looked 8 months pregant, the most I have ever been. Help me. Is this normal? I didn’t take any today I am soooooo bloated and gasy. Thanks for any insite. Patty   [End]

Hi Sarah, Yes, I am unable to get the desired results. I am eliminating too much but not very normal color and oder. Nothing is green/gray/black rubbery, everything is normal. I have been taking almost 5 liters of water and my body weight is just 130 pounds (about 58 Kg) and my age is 29. I know that I have bad stuff inside me as I has been suffering Ulcerative Colitis for 5 years. Now I wanted to cleanse my colon so that this help me to cope with ulcerative colitis. Have you any disease or just normal cleansing? Please do inform me about your experiences. Thanks Abbasi   [End]

Just a note to you on the bladder infections. I know the drugs that the doctors give you on this are really do a number on your system. I have found that concentrated Cranberry caplets work wonders for bladder/tract infections. as soon as you feel it coming on, I take 3 caplets, and then 2-3 with each meal for 2-3 days and then decrease to 1-2/meal for a week. ;~) Sherri   [End]

Hi All, I was having a sonagram yesterday and this lady came up to me and told me all about Dr. Shylze, so I’m going to try this cleanse. I’ve had problems with the psyllium, hurts my IBS tummy, but I’m still giving it a try. I’ve had severe IBS for 2 and a half years, constant bladder infections, and now my liver functions are messed up. The docers are making me worse. So here I come!!! Patty   [End]
