Or maybe ColonicGoddess!! ;)

I started my Dr. Natura stuff this morning. The fiber drink mix doesn't taste too bad. I wasn't at home this morning so I just had to shake it up in some OJ.....tomorrow morning, I'll use my hand mixer or blend it in to a smoothie.

Hey Venus....do you think it'd be ok to put it in a whey protein smoothie.....or maybe not because it's supposed to be done on an empty stomache?

ColonicGoddess...LOL ;)

I wouldn't put it in a smoothie...it thickens up really fast. :yuck:

I just mix it in the orange juice.

I use benefiber every day, so should I really use that stuff on the web site? The benefiber has no nasty thickening or flavor to it. Maybe I'll just go get the cleansing done at a butt doctor.

Things proctologist should never say as ice breakers:

"I can't place my finger on it, butt you look familiar."

"Don't have a seat, I'll be right with you."

"Quick, nurse ! Get the camera ! They'll never believe THIS one !"

"Yes, I see a family resemblance."

"Hmmmm, looks like you're a quart low."

"The first three feet might be a bit uncomfortable, after that..."

"Out of K-Y Jelly ? Oh well, let's do a dry run."

"I'm putting you on a low-bean diet."

"Nurse, give me a number 2 sandpaper glove."

"How long have you had this crack in your butt ?"

"I see you had pizza last night."

"When was the last time you had a lub and oil change ?"

"Ah, you must be gay."

"Nurse, come here. Ya want to feel something really weird ?"

"Ooops, I think I lost my watch."

"I've never seen stalagmites growing in one before !!"

"If you think that was a pain in the ass, wait till you get my bill."

"Gee, I hope I can get this out."

"When was the last time you had your barnacles scraped ?"

"Nurse ! Who let this asshole in my office ?"

so, I ordered the Dr. Natura stuff and should have it by the weekend. I'll keep everyone posted. The info on the website looked very promising. We'll see! MissTaylor, are you still taking it and have you seen any results?? Any one else try it yet?

I have been using it for about a month, and can defintly start to see my abs. Probably the first sighting ever!
But, I can't tell if I'm having side effects, or getting some sort of cold. Has anyone using this noticed headaches, congestion, and the sense of taste out of whack? Everything I eat has a bitter taste to it now, and the headaches are godawful......

VenusGoddess
01-26-2005, 08:26 AM
I feel more energetic now...I feel great!!

Kermit...usually what you are experiencing is called detox. Your body is detoxing, so with that, it'll cause muscle soreness (I was so sore for a while), headaches, sinus congestion...all of that. It's all your body cleaning out the junk that was toxifying it. It should go away pretty soon...although, if you've been on it for a month...how long are you planning on taking it? My muscle soreness went away about a week after I finished. ;)

01-26-2005, 09:47 AM
I was planning on a 3 month run, as the website recommends for first time users. I've been congested for about 2-3 wks, headache for 2 wks, bitter taste for 1.5 wks. So, I don't know if I'm going to last that long, but I like the idea that I'm going to emerge from this healtier! Maybe I'm just more toxic than I tought......
I'm going to take a 2 week break from it, because I'm going to New Orleans, and I don't want all that lovely southern food to taste like crap! Then I will decide if I will continue, but then again, maybe my side effects are unrelated and I need to make a Dr.'s appt.

I did it for about 4 days and then went out of town spur of the moment and left the junk at home...grrrr. So, tomorrow I start again. I immiedately started going to the bathroom more frequently and it wasn't like a nomral trip to the bathroom....but not a cover your butt and run moment either. I can tell my stomach is already flatter but that could be because of my healthier diet too. who knows. My friend Jacx is doing it also and it wasn't until she upped the dosage (after the first five days) that she started having to go to the bathroom more than normal.

I haven't had any headaches or anything though.

I really hate to be the bringer of bad news, but you are all falling victim to a very old and popular hoax. The claim that you have pounds of material clogging up your colon is a completely fabricated urban legend. This hoax dates back to the mid to late 19th century back when people were peddling snake oil and other such remedies. My sister used to be totally into these colonics and detox programs meant to “cleanse” the body of all the toxins we supposedly build up in our systems. As it turns out, a good friend of mine’s mother is a gastroenterologist. I always suspected this detoxification industry was a bunch of nonsense so I asked her about it once and she started laughing. She said these things are pretty much the joke of the medical industry. Virtually every single major medical journal has come out explaining this hoax and there are countless websites documenting it as well.

One of the things she told me was that the common theory behind the detox programs is that there is a lot of undigested food in there that accumulates over the years. This is 100% absolute fiction. Any doctor will tell you that the inside of any healthy or average colon is pink and free of obstructions of any kind. That if you do in fact have any accumulated undigested material in there, you most likely have cancer or a major severe illness that none of these detox or colon therapy procedures are going to help and you will most likely need surgery or other major treatment. www.quackwatch.com (http://www.quackwatch.com/) is a great resource for things like this. One of the doctors there, Stephen Barrett, M.D., is quoted as saying, “Colon hydrotherapy is absolutely pointless. The idea that toxic waste accumulates in the colon is nonsense. If you subject someone to regular colon cleansing, you disrupt the colon's normal function," he explains. "Rather than helping, this practice can actually cause more problems." Many doctors agree that the colon therapies are good for relieving constipation, the claims that they remove toxins from the system is untrue. If you want to cleanse the colon, eat a better diet of high-fiber, fruits and vegetables for regularity.

Here's a good article on the matter:

Gastrointestinal Quackery:

Colonics, Laxatives, and More
Stephen Barrett, M.D.

The importance of "regularity" to overall health has been greatly overestimated for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians associated feces with decay and used enemas and laxatives liberally. In more recent times, this concern has been embodied in the concept of "autointoxication" and has been promoted by warnings against "irregularity." [1]

The theory of "autointoxication" states that stagnation of the large intestine (colon) causes toxins to form that are absorbed and poison the body. Some proponents depict the large intestine as a "sewage system" that becomes a "cesspool" if neglected. Other proponents state that constipation causes hardened feces to accumulate for months (or even years) on the walls of the large intestine and block it from absorbing or eliminating properly.

This, they say, causes food to remain undigested and wastes from the blood to be reabsorbed by the body [2].

Around the turn of the twentieth century many physicians accepted the concept of autointoxication, but it was abandoned after scientific observations proved it wrong. In 1919 and 1922, it was clearly demonstrated that symptoms of headache, fatigue, and loss of appetite that accompanied fecal impaction were caused by mechanical distension of the colon rather than by production or absorption of toxins [3,4].

Moreover, direct observation of the colon during surgical procedures
found no evidence that hardened feces accumulate on the intestinal walls.

Today we know that most of the digestive process takes place in the small intestine, from which nutrients are absorbed into the body. The remaining mixture of food and undigested particles then enters the large intestine, which can be compared to a 40-inch-long hollow tube. Its principal functions are to transport food wastes from the small intestine to the rectum for elimination and to absorb minerals and water. Careful observations have shown that the bowel habits of healthy
individuals can vary greatly. Although most people have a movement daily, some have several movements each day, while others can go several days or even longer with no adverse effects.

Despite these facts, some chiropractors, naturopaths, and assorted food faddists claim that "death begins in the colon" and that "90 percent of all diseases are caused by improperly working bowels." The practices they recommend include fasting, periodic "cleansing" of the intestines, and colonic irrigation. Fasting is said to "purify" the body. "Cleansing" can be accomplished with a variety of "natural" laxative products.

Colonic irrigation is performed by passing a rubber tube through the rectum for a distance of up to 20 or even 30 inches. Warm water -- often 20 gallons or more -- is pumped in and out through the tube, a few pints at a time, to wash out the contents of the large intestine. (An ordinary enema uses about a quart of fluid.) Some practitioners add herbs, coffee, enzymes, wheat or grass extract, or other substances to the
enema solution.

The Total Health Connection and Canadian Natural Health and Healing Center Web sites provide more details of proponents' claims. The latter states that "there is only one cause of disease -- toxemia" and offers "the most comprehensive in-depth colon therapy on the continent." The course costs $985 for 5 days of in-clinic training or $295 by correspondence.

Some "alternative" practitioners make bogus diagnoses of "parasites," for which they recommend "intestinal cleansers," plant enzymes, homeopathic remedies. Health-food stores sell products of this type with claims that they can "rejuvenate" the body and kill the alleged invaders. The danger of these practices depends upon how much they are used and whether they are substituted for necessary medical care. Whereas a 1-day fast is likely to be harmless (though useless), prolonged fasting can be fatal. "Cleansing" is unlikely to be physically harmful, but the products involved can be expensive.

Colonic irrigation, which also can be expensive, has considerable potential for harm. The process can be very uncomfortable, since the presence of the tube can induce severe cramps and pain. If the equipment is not adequately sterilized between treatments, disease germs from one person's large intestine can be transmitted to others. Several outbreaks of serious infections have been reported, including one in which
contaminated equipment caused amebiasis in 36 people, 6 of whom died following bowel perforation [5-7].

Cases of heart failure (from excessive fluid absorption into the bloodstream) and electrolyte imbalance have also been reported [8]. Yet no license or training is required to operate a colonic-irrigation device. In 1985, a California judge ruled that colonic irrigation is an invasive medical procedure that may not be performed by chiropractors and the California Health Department's Infectious Disease Branch stated: "The practice of colonic irrigation by chiropractors, physical therapists, or physicians should cease. Colonic irrigation can do no good, only harm." The National Council Against Health Fraud agrees[9].

The popular diet book Fit for Life (1986) is based on the notion that when certain foods are eaten together, they "rot," poison the system, and make the person fat. To avoid this, the authors recommend that fats, carbohydrates and protein foods be eaten at separate meals, emphasizing fruits and vegetables because foods high in water content can "wash the toxic waste from the inside of the body" instead of "clogging" the body. These ideas are utter nonsense.

Although laxative ads warn against "irregularity," constipation should be defined not by the frequency of movements but by the hardness of the stool. Ordinary constipation usually can be remedied by increasing the fiber content of the diet, drinking adequate amounts of water, and engaging in regular exercise. If the bowel is basically normal, dietary fiber increases the bulk of the stool, softens it, and speeds transit time.

Defecating soon after the urge is felt also can be helpful because if urges are ignored, the rectum may eventually stop signaling when defecation is needed. Stimulant laxatives (such as cascara or castor oil) can damage the nerve cells in the colon wall, decreasing the force of contractions and increasing the tendency toward constipation. Thus, people who take strong laxatives whenever they "miss a movement" may wind up unable to move their bowels without them.Frequent enemas can also lead to dependence [10].

A doctor should be consulted if constipation persists or represents a significant change in bowel pattern.

I've been curious, so I've been looking. Check out the pics of the waste products!

In response to DancerWealth's post: I agree with a lot of it. However, the complaint of constipation is usually from a poor diet (not enough fruits/veggies for fiber and roughage). People who do colonics usually do them to "get the bowels" moving. The nice thing about the Dr. natura kit is that it does just that. It freaked me out about the parasites, but eh...didn't hurt any. LOL

I've now found that if you really up your fruit/veggie consumption, you'll not need fiber therapy...and there is a tea that you can get from a store like Whole Foods called Smooth Moves. It's the same type of tea as Dr. Natura sends in their package. Even if you get a bottle of fiber for your juice...you would still save in upwards of about $50-60.

The short of it is: with an improper diet (which the majority of Americans these days have) the small colon begins to back up. It's fact. The fiber supplement/therapy is only used to get things moving along. The tea is used to help stimulate the bowels. It's non-addictive and not harmful long term. While I don't agree with colon irrigation (shooting fluid up the butt) I think that fiber therapy/supplements are good and needed.

I've been using COLON CLEAR by GNC

what's the validity in using a colonic in regards to weight loss?

if I am curious about it should I have a professional do it?

VenusGoddess
04-04-2005, 11:39 AM
I think the weight loss comes from having a clean colon. Let's face it. If your body is working at it's peak potential...then you are going to be all around more healthy.

Taking fiber...getting the bowels cleaned out will enable your body to eliminate waste more effectively...which enables your body to cleanse itself more effectively...enabling your body to get rid of anything it doesn't need more effectively.

Fiber is extremely important in weight loss.

Thank you DW! Getiting a colonic is a very all-american "quick fix" attempt at correcting years of unhealthy habits. OUr bodies are designed to act appropriately if we take care of them. Our intestinal tract is designed to push things out. A colonic often forces bacteria (the kind that's good and healthy in the lower intestine) up to where it just shouldn't be. Gross.

VenusGoddess
04-05-2005, 07:27 AM
Actually, Nikki...and DW...you are both wrong. Colonics are fiber therapy. Colon irrigation is where you have fluid pushed up...basically a $20 way to say enema.

Colonics every so often are completely healthy and sometimes necessary.

Colon irrigations are what you should avoid. ;)

Correction: They are the same. Colonic, colon hydrotherapy, and colon irrigations are all one in the same. One may refer to the deeper type of procedure called a "high colonic", but I'm not sure which; colon irrigation, perhaps?

The "colonic" you (VG) refer to, is actually a colon cleanse.

I noticed the website you referenced drnatura.com calls their colon cleansing product "Colonix". It sounds like a good product that is touted with similar effects as a colonic.

I'm going to try it, as my experience with an actual colonic was not so pleasant ;)

Thanks for the info!

You body is set up to clear out waste by itself. Once you start messing with it you're asking for trouble. Instead of flushing water up your ass etc, try eating properly. Anyone with a diet with enough fiber won't need anything else. As far as the sites that "show" worms, etc, flushed out through colon cleanse type stuff... If you do happen to have some type of intestinal worm, that won't get rid of them.

Yep, I can just picture that...

me to the doctor: "I think I might have parasites because I was reading this colonic web site and other people have them and maybe I do too"

No, Minah, I was really thinking of doing either the sytem with the drink mix, or going to have the real thing done. But I don't think I can handle knowing whats in there, if indeed it's alive...

Has anyone tried a colonic? How was the experience and did you feel lighter afterwards. Also, did it effect your eating habits?

I know this is an odd subject for some but any input would be appreciated:-\ ;D

I have a girlfriend who SWEARS by colonics!! She said that after her 3 kids they really helped her loose quite a bit of weight. When we first began talking about them I was reallky ifffy, but she swore up and down that it's really the best thing ever. Since then I have done those enema things that you can buy in the drug store, and I really like them. Now I am considering the "real" thing, although I haven't yet researched places around me that do them. I'll let you know if I get one...

first of all, if you have concerns about having intestinal parasites, such as worms, see your doctor. second of all, most of that "bacterial junk" in there is actually good for you- in fact, it's essential. if you were somehow able to rid yourself of all the bacteria in your digestive system (don't worry, this is virtually impossible) you would starve to death. humans have a symbiotic relationship with these organisms, which proccess the foods we eat in order to allow us to digest them. they are not parasites.

"colon cleansing" products are a scam. short and simple. they were dreamed up by a few money hungry people of questionable ethics in the natural products industry and have taken off due to anecdotes filled with the joy of the placebo effect, and a lack of relaible scientific research in the area. you do not need to take strong laxatives unless you are constipated. if you are constipated, take some milk of magnesia. less than 2 dollars a bottle. if you are chronically constipated, eat a better diet, richer in whole grains and fresh vegetables, and get tested for food allergies. if your constipation continues regardless of a lack of allergies, see your docotr. if it is accompanied by sharp stabbing pains and dull constant aching in the abdomen, fever, nausea, chills, and dizziness, go to the emergency room. you may have a bowel obstruction.

colon cleansing products offer no real benefit, and may in fact do harm with regular use. there is a very real possibility of dehydration, and of course, overhydration used to compensate throws of the balance of electrolytes in the blood. you may also be depleting your digestive system of valuable bacteria. if you train your body with overuse of laxatives, your metabolism will switch into overdrive and you will actually begin to gain weight. you may begin to suffer from nutrient deficiency diseases, and if you are diabetic, you are putting your health under serious risk. furthermore, many people who believe that they suffer from chronic constipation, in fact, do not. anywhere from 3 bowel movements a day to 3 a week can be normal, and if your stool is not dry and difficult to pass, you are not constipated. do NOT buy colon cleansing products. they are a waste of money. i have been an herbalist for years, and i strongly reccomend that people avoid these. eat a healthy diet, rich in whole grains and fresh vegetables, especially green ones. stay away from too much fat, dairy, and processed food, and excersise regularly. do not take unneccessary medication, get enough sleep, and try to reduce stress in your life. purgatives are unneccessary, especially the several week long courses recommended for these products.

colonics are very good for you, and extremely beneficial and probably nessecary for your health with all of today's processed, refined, and inorganic foods. There are friendly bacteria living in your intestine, called flora, that help to break down foods and waste. Once your series of colonics is through you should look into taking a supplement liike a probiotic to replish this beneficial flora. I found this:

:O

What are Probiotics ?

Probiotics are a class of beneficial bacteria that promote health, balance and
efficient functioning of the digestive system.

These friendly bacteria are normal inhabitants of the intestines and help to digest
foods by breaking them down into their individual component parts, such as fats,
amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals for absorption into the body.

Another function of the normal bacteria is to prevent or limit the growth of
unwanted bacterial pathogens including salmonella, clostridia and E-coli
that can prevent proper nutrient absorption, create intestinal disturbances
and eventually cause more serious illness.

2 = Why take Probiotics ?

Bacterial infections, stress, traveling, antibiotic treatment, poor diet and a number of
other factors can and do disturb the balance in our intestinal tract, decreasing the
number of beneficial bacteria while allowing an increase in pathogenic bacteria.

This increase in pathogenic bacteria can result in gas, diarrhea, constipation,
and other intestinal symptoms.

A viable probiotic supplement acts to maintain and replenish the balance of
micro flora in the intestinal tract. A regular maintenance dose acts as a preventive
against intestinal diseases, and in the case of FLORA SOURCE, also eliminates
noxious compounds which interfere with absorption of nutrients.

A healthy intestinal tract with a balanced micro flora can boost the immune system,
keep pathogenic diseases of the intestinal tract to check, maintain normal bowel
movements, prevent indigestion and bloating.

I haven't done a colonic where I go somewhere and they shove water up my ass (or whatever they do). But, I am doing a colonic right now. It's more fiber therapy, parasite riddance, and just re-balancing your body.

If you want more information, go to this website: . It's really good.

I haven't been doing it long enough, but Scorpio said that he has a lot more energy and his body feels "cleaner".


My b/f did something very similar to that (same product I think) and didn't notice anything different. I wonder if a colonic would be more effective. I've heard it's dangerous.

and yes its crazy
So for the first few weeks I felt like better but thought maybe it was more pychological .. doing the regimen (big glass water in the morning.. take the herbal pills wait 15 min. drink big glass fresh juice with the herbal fiber powder followed by another big glass of water.. then at night the tea) made me want to eat better and I was getting alot more water in my diet
I pooed regularly.. definitly a big one every morning which made my tummy feel flatter then.. it happened about 3 weeks into it..
One night I woke up with cramps and had to poo .. but I couldnt :(
It was like 3 am so I went back to bed but felt so nautious (sp?) so I went back to the bathroom and just got a BOOk and sat there.. blah
I went a little..sorry this is gross.. but my cat kept sticking her paw under the door meowing so finally so I could get some "peace" stood up a little and opened the door for her and thats when it happened.. This is GROSSSSS but anyways.. I felt something slap my thigh!! and looked down and hanging out of me was one of those things in the pictures .. it looked like a wet vine and was like a foot long.. well i got back on the pot and got that out of me and then of course inspected it .. it looked just like one of those mucus plactoids you hear about .. so I guess that stuff really is in you . I did it about another month (didnt have discipline for 3 months like you are supposed to) and nothing else weird but I still think about it and want to get more and do it fully as I think it does work.

Pennygirl,
OMG, that is gross, but in a funny way. The only question I have, do you think maybe something in those colonics caused that to form in the intestine? It's possible.
