Has anyone tried or know of anyone who has tried Colonix, Blessed Herbs, or any other colon cleansing product?

I'm getting leaner, and still have fat to lose, but I'm also concerned about internal colon, liver, and kidney health (my fitness goals are aesthetical as well as internal health, longevity, natural herbs, etc.) These types of products are supposed to remove all of the crap (pun coincidental) that lines and clings to the walls of your colon. My girlfriend's mother tried the Colonix product and was very pleased. A lot of fiber, black walnut, and other natural items are in the blend to collect the toxins up and allow you to pass them.

From there you can read more. If you're brave, click on the "Picture Gallery" link in the top menu and see some of what people expelled from their systems. A "side effect" would also be for those of us who have gotten pretty darn lean, but still have a pooch as many of the users report additional weight loss and flatter mid-sections due to removing fecal matter that filled them up inside.

I'm probably gonna give it a run and let you all know what I think.

Let me know what you guys and gals know or heard! Happy pooping!

I tried this one. http://www.aloeease.com/

It definitely lived up to its reputation. Whether or not it had any long term positive effects (or negative for that matter) I cant say for sure. I do know that the first time I took it there was three or four days before I noticed any change in my crap. I used what I had left in the container about 6 months later or so and the very next day I was crapping that stuff out. It went through my system much faster the second time; whatever that information is worth to you.

I really don't give a sh*t..... Sorry, I know, bad joke, couldn't resist. :)

I can't speak for those products, but I know someone who goes gets it done by "colon hydrotherapy." I don't think I could ever go, but she swears by it. She said the first time she came back 5 lbs lighter. Now she get it done every 6 months and averages about a 2lb weight loss each time. It justs make me wonder if I need it or not.

I am curious if anyone knows if this would be beneficial for someone like myself who eats a lot of fiber (much more than the RDA), lots of fruits and vegetables and little red meat, little saturated fat and is in good health with low BF. I guess the procedure it is painless and you are covered up, but I don't think I would consider it unless it was a necessity.

Let me save you $88.00+. . . Go get yourself a $1.15 bottle of magnesium citrate and a $4.00 bottle of Dulcolax at your local pharmacy and drink a gallon of water. Then maintain a clean colon with daily psyllium fiber (aka Metamucil) and your gallon of water.

This bowel cleansing stuff is all contrived, in the name of making a buck. There is absolutely no evidence that routine bowel cleansing has any effect on your long-term health. There is evidence, however, that regular fiber intake does. The above regimen has been used for years for bowel preps before procedures like colonoscopy, etc. and leaves the entire intestinal tract squeaky clean.

If you send a camera through the intestine after a routine bowel prep (the camera enclosed in a capsule that is swallowed) there is nothing even remotely close to the garbage that is portrayed on that website, and it sure didn't come out like that either. [And who dilligently lays out their turds along the toilet seat - gimme a break!]

If you want to believe that there's some hidden power of a concoction of psyllium fiber (Metamucil) and some herbs at changing your life around, go ahead and buy it, but I'm just trying to save you the trouble of ingesting something for the sole purpose of binding all your excrement into one stringy, globular mess for a photo shoot on the toilet rim. There's no mystery around how to keep your intestines from becoming "clogged" -- it's called fiber.

So I guess you are telling him it would be a crappy idea.

Thanks for the straight poop. :) :tu:

I like your style.

If the stuff in those pictures is in my colon I don't want to know about it, of course I sure as hell don't want it inside of me either.

I've used Magnesium Citrate (the cherry flavor at Walgreens tastes like a Jolly Rancher!) and Psyllium Husk, but that doesn't do anything meaningful to my bowel movements. It [magnesium citrate] just makes my stomach bubble and eventually make me have to go. My stool bulk is always good, but who's to say there isn't more that could be done inside of me?

I'm under the impression from others who have tried products like the ones I mentioned above that the toxic material and parasites cling to the colon walls and normal laxative products and fiber doesn't do as full of a job at grabbing this stuff and allowing you to pass it. I have 2-3 bowel movements a day and my fiber intake is generally in the upper 40g - low 50g range daily.

I imagine that the people on that website laid their turds on the seat to show what came out of them during the use of the product - we can certainly agree that this isn't normal by any means. My curiousity is piqued via my girlfriend's mother's personal experience, a couple of guys at work, one in my gym, and, of course, the website's marketing.

Thanks for all of your suggestions and bad jokes though! :tu:

I know this thread's a bit old, but I happened to do some moderate amount of research on the subject a while back -- specifically on www.drnatura.com. It turns out that this "colon cleansing" contains an ingredient (can't recall the name offhand) that actually sticks to your intestinal walls and makes a cast of your intestine. Those horrid looking "turds" are a product of what goes into you during the cleansing, not what is there to begin with.

A lot of these colon cleansing quacks will try to have you believe that those casts contain parasites that have supposedly been linked to cancer and all sorts of other interesting maladies.

Try googling "colonix scam" and see what you come up with. I'd provide links, but I probably shouldn't be caught talking sh*t while at work :lol:

Thank goodness...not everyone has fallen victim to this kind of rubbish. Thank you, Traxxus, for chiming in on this obvious money-making scam.

I've seen hundreds of colonoscopies and a handful of small-bowel camera studies...I can assure you that his whole colon-cleansing industry is a major fraud. They get by on the whole "black box" nature of intestinal health - the general public has no clue what the intestinal tract looks like or does. But, slap a few testimonials on a product with contrived pictures, and suddenly everyone wants to plunk down $100 for a "what if" instead of bothering to eat healthy and ensure that they get adequate fiber (a regimen supported by real, unbiased research).

The whole idea of "toxic materials" and "parasites" is just an appeal to emotions. Assuming you avoid raw pork, raw beef, and New York City sewers for your dining indulgences, why are you worrying about parasites?

Everyone wants a quick-fix from an exceedingly rare problem, but no one wants to pull themselves away from the television to avoid heart disease - the most common cause of death.
