Colonics, are quite controversial. All things being equal, your "garbage collector" should not need any aid in flushing away any waste or toxins from your body. Your skin, kidneys, colon, do a pretty good job of that already. Some swear by having a speculum in your ass , some believe in drinking powdered formula to aid in movements. Here is the trouble: You can have all sorts of underlying problems as to why you may not be able to flush waste , or toxins , out of your system, and may end up doing more damage than good when using such a drastic method. Any one who hasn't had a bowel movement in a week or so, and then manipulates his/her colon in order to shit endlessly for a day or two, would assume that he is being "cleansed". Conversely, you may have regular movements( and this varies form person to person), yet, still think that you need a flush (cleanse) simply because....well... the box says it will "cleanse" me. When you ask most people why do you think you need a "colon cleanse" that answer usually is , " I want to feel healthier" . What does this mean? What is your daily diet consisting of? What is your idea of "cleansed" ? Imagine that it is your wish to cleanse your self of toxins, waste, parasites, lampreys, etc, yet you eat garbage continuously, smoke like a chimney, drink like a depressed sailor, and your hormones are out of control. Does it really work? Some swear by it, but most, maybe all of us, could do without such a thing if other things are functioning properly.

I remember this large creature having a conversation about losing weight, and the first thing out of her mouth was " I need my colon cleansed". I forced myself to ask her why. Her reply to me was ,"every time I read testimonials of people, they seem to lose weight when they do this. ( you know the testimonials of people shitting 3 lbs. of something from using one packet of the 7 day cleanse). I could hear the wheezing sound as she was talking, and I knew the poor beast had no fucking idea that her overall health was shit, but she also didn't know what she was talking about. Anyway, I asked her if she had ever tried some nutritional remedies, and exercise programs and her reply to me was that it was too hard and long. Everything quick, doesn't always equate to everything good.

Would be better just to do a fecal transusion from a healthier person. But that would gross most people out. Gut flora health is very important for overall health. For detoxifying avoid transfats like margarine and most boxed products. Your body will naturally get rid of those toxins if your not eating them constantly. Gluten can be a toxin too very common one in fact.

I would just try to sweat as much as possible under the sun and eat a lot of prunes one day to shit out everything. I'm sure you're cleansing your body somehow with all that.

Food is the answer. Colon cleanse without proper diet is just like exercise without proper diet.

Food is always the first step, and almost always the most important one.

Personally, I think CC's are overrated and often unneccasary, unless you are really unhealthy and fully commited to a complete lifestyle change. Most of the time, it's a rip-off.

If you wanna lose weight and be healthier, start with your diet.

Well sweat is more for cooling off, but it can get rid of small trace amounts. If you dont drink enough water and you sweat heavy, you may diminish the liver and kidneys in doing their job of aiding in detoxifying the body. Piss and shit my friend. Oh, one other thing, drinking prune (organic prune juice ) should be combined with close proximity to the shitter. I once had an accident with that fucking juice. You can't even pass gas without being worried. Never drink this and fall into a deep sleep. You will wake up swimming in shit if you get too excited or nervous while you were dreaming.

Collards are great for you...but metamucil, no fucking way. People take that shit too much and then their bodies become dependent on it and they can't shit on their own...some even lose complete control of the bowels and have to use diapers the rest of their life. Slippery slope...i recommend staying away from it and using food (grapes, prunes, etc) if you need to clean out.

Coconut and watermelon.

Eat enough of either of those and you'll shit yourself silly.

and both are good for you. watermelon makes your dick hard due to the citrulline -- it works as a natural viagra by dialating the blood vessels. Pay attention after you eat a healthy serving of watermelon and you'll see what i mean.

And if you need to test it out...

There is no scientific validity to colon cleansing. It's American hucksterism. I've heard this from several doctors and nurses in know IRL.

That said, women tend to believe a lot of this fanciful bullshit. I think there is a benefit to making them believe this helps because it's a way to give them enemas and make them squeaky clean for anal sex. I used to sit next to a woman at work who went on and on about her colonics. Obsessing over your own bowels is a form of narcissism and we should find a way to turn that into getting laid. Offering to help out with specially-brewed coffee enemas, though psychotic, could be the "bonding" experience a flaky new age chick is unconsciously seeking to want to bone you.

I did one. Its bullshit. Eating 10 servings of vegetables a day for a week would accomplish the same thing. If you drink alot of water also.

Unnecessary, waste of money.

Did it once, the procedure was really awkward and I was feeling like I just dropped a soap bar in a prison shower. Overall, it's a good thing to do every few years in sets of 3 procedures 1-2 days apart - cleanses your colon, boosts metabolism & removes toxins. But you have to deal with the feeling lol

They can irritate the intestinal mucosa and cause inflammation, destroy your natural "good" bacteria that help you break down waste products, and can even perforate the bowel. This can result in nausea, vomiting, cramps, dehydration, mucosal discharge, or infection. Your body doesn't need the extra help, the colon has a carefully controlled microenvironment that's made to deal with toxins and it's best not to interfere with it.

This is the most informed response on this thread...

The "good" fauna in your intestines gets wiped out with along with all the supposed impacted feces... This could lead to very nasty infections that are extremely difficult to correct (and very unpleasant to boot). It's a very real and documented, unnecessary risk with zero proven medical benefits.

Colonics can be very dangerous.

Yeah I don't like the whole forced shitting thing but it is close to a 5-10 day fast which I've found to be helpful to do once a year. Its like taking downtime on your stomach factory for annual maintenance. I feel better if I do this once a year.

Colonic Irrigation is awesome if done correctly ! You will also find erections a lot harder after a good colonic!

Colon cleansing is a serious business... a little kit will not do the job so great. The best thing is a juice fast, and then taking psyllium husks five time a day with bentonite clay. Then you can do colonics and coffee enemas which will bring out a lot of crap!

This company sells the herbs and instructions:

Problem is, the western diet is fucked, so it can negatively effect your colon.

Agree with the previous post. Not sure why everyone is hating on colon cleansing. Yes, taking a colon cleansing pill will not do anything. However, the idea behind a cleanse is to EMPTY out your colon so that the abrasive fiber may then SCRUB your empty colon clean. Think about it....your gut is full of shit your entire life. Pockets of doodie crust up in your intestnes and cling to your intestine walls, instead of being discharged. Most importantly, the foundation of a cleanse is fasting. You must EMPTY your intestine to clean it, you cannot cleanse without fasting. Here is the procedure I have found most effective:

1. Take laxative of choice. 16 oz glass of salt water will make you shit for 12 hours straight.
2. Plan on not eating solid food for at least 72 hours, the longer the better.
Once laxative has taken effect, start drinking fiber drinks, preferably psyllium seed husk with water. Mix well and chug...at least 2 16oz glasses per day.
3. Drink a lot of water
4. You are free to drink freshly squeezed citrus juice to give you a few calories, preferably grapefruit.
5. Hold out from eating as long as you can. Just like smoking, the first day is the hardest. It gets easier and easier not to eat.

THE TOILET
Stage 1 is flushing out from the laxative
Stage 2 is flushing out from the psyllium seed husk going through your system. Picture shitting out a sponge.
Stage 3 You will actually shed the inner lining of your intestine like a snake sheds his skin. Picture shitting out a rope in a double helix type dna pattern.

Break fast with sushi

You'll feel great

I rather enjoyed the slowing down of my metabolism. Everything slows down. This may be a problem if you are working in manual labor, but if you have an office job, your performance will not be effected.

You will appreciate the social bombardment of cues to eat...from friends, family, and co-workers. It seems like everybody is telling you to eat all day long.

BTW, for you health nuts, you can go easily a month without food.

If you are really crazy, you can follow up your real fast with a juice/soup/liquid diet.

I guess for those of you who are working out and going to the gym to get ripped, this probably isn't for you.

For everyone else, I would highly recommend a fast/cleanse

I have done 3 fasts of 3 days (no eating), and one of 5 days.

Be prepared for everyone to tell you you're crazy...and it's not healthy what you're doing blah blah blah.

It's funny how people are threatened by your fast.

Good luck!!!

A roomate recommeded I try Oxy powder and Blessed Herbs. Worked well for sever constipation.

I've hear there is also a foaming colon cleanse that is taken as an enema.

I haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know if something like this has been posted or not.

I've got a buddy who used to date a nurse who worked for a doc who did colonoscopies. In preparation for a colonoscopy, you'll take some laxative pills, or drink some sort of solution in advance. Afterwards, there's actual video evidence of a colon that's a clean as a whistle, and it didn't take several weeklong sessions of fasting while swallowing clay and psyllium, like a lot of alternative health types recommend.

I used to be really into all that cleansing and stuff, and brought up to my friends gf of the alternative health meme that the colon builds up a layer of hardened mucus and rotting bits of meat and other food. She flat out told me it was total bullshit. The colon is designed to move things out of it, not get stuff stuck in it, unless there's an anomaly like a diverticulum, and that if a person really did have a layer of mucus and rotting food in their colon, they would be dead within hours.

Now, if you really want to clean out your colon, and this will work, just drink a couple quarts of water with 2-3 tsp of sea, epsom, or kosher salt added to each quart. Drink slowly and smoothly, otherwise you'll vomit. Within an hour, you'll be plenty cleaned out.

Done this, it's common in Russia. I'll share the embarrassing details:

My Belarussian ex would fill this large rubber ball with a small teat on it and I had to lie on my side on top of a towel. Then she inserted the teat into my ass. That was weird! Then she squeezed very gently until the warm water emptied into my stomach ( add some small herbs like rosemary but not too much ). The whole time I was shouting "I'm going to shit myself stop!" but it just feels like that, you don't actually shit yourself. When finished my stomach was distended and totally full, you can hear it sloshing about when you walk and you don't feel great, very heavy. Then you have to hold it in as long as you can, 20 -30 minutes is ideal to let it work it's way through the colon and dislodge the old shit that is up there. You want to shit the whole time but you need to refrain from doing so. Then after 30 minutes you sit on the toilet and it gushes out but brings all these lumps of shit that look like they were in there for a long time, not fresh looking shit but old hard bits of turd that was no doubt clinging on up there. When it's all out be careful and don't do anything strenuous for a bit. You will feel somewhat light headed and want to be in a quiet space for a bit. After that you feel physically lighter and better. Gandhi used to do it every day but I'd say twice a year is ideal. The worst part is the teat going in your ass hole. I'm all for a girl's tongue up there when I'm getting a BJ but a girl putting something plastic up my bum felt very uncomfortable psychologically and physically.
