Question 5

how can remove my bad colon cleanse?

Accepted Answer

Can you clarify?: "Colon cleanses" are scams that target good, ordinary people and give them the idea that they need to remove "toxic bowel settlement" or something equally imaginary. If you had a bad experience after one of these, and still feel sick, a visit to a mainstream physician is in order. You'd do yourself a favor to find an evidence-based holistic practitioner in your community as wel.

Question 6

how will a colon cleanse help the body?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't. : The idea of colon cleansing is based on a misunderstanding of anatomy & physiology. Your colon is actually outside of you. You actually surround a space through which foods pass & excrement is produced. The body takes care of its own cleansing if you have a proper diet & fluid intake. Colonic treatment is outlawed in certain states because in the wrong hands has led to bowel perforation & death.

Question 7

at what age can you get a colon cleanse in 2013?

Accepted Answer

100 or more: Colon cleansing is a waste of time at any age.

Question 8

will a colon cleanse release toxins from my body?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: It can help release toxins, but please realize that your body naturally wants to get toxins out.  When you have enough fiber in your diet, the toxins will bind and be eliminated.  Make sure your liver has what it needs to detox appropriately.  I do not believe colon cleanses are necessary.  You can get bloating, cramping..   Don't force a detox.  Support the body and it will detox on its own!

Question 9

drink while i am on colon cleanse?

Accepted Answer

Bad Medicine: Amazing. Here is your question as a physician see's it. I want to live healthy and I am undergoing a colon cleanse to get rid of toxins and such. But, I have to drink.  

I think that drinking alcohol is going to counter balance any thing you are attempting to do with a cleanse.  

If you cannot go for even one day without drinking perhaps we should start there and not with a colon cleanse.

Question 10

can i take colon cleanse with food?

Accepted Answer

No: that defeats the purpose. The colon cleanse is supposed to cleanse the colon. If you eat while on the cleanse, you're undoing what the cleanse is doing. You stop eating before starting the cleanse. You resume eating and drinking after the colon test or whatever other reason for the cleanse.
