Colon Cleansing Scam

As we learn more about our health, trends and fads come and go. Most recently we have learned much about colon cleanse in the marketplace, homemade colon cleanse, as well as several versions of the colon cleansing scam. Our colon acts as the main warehouse for the body’s filtration system. The intestine is the last stop before waste is eliminated. Sometimes the assembly line of bodily functions back up and need assistance to generate a steady flow again.

• The enema(many variations)
• Ex-lax
• Magnesium citrate
• Correctol
• Milk of Magnesia
• Stool Softeners
• Cod Liver Oil
• Castor oil
• Colon Cleansing Tea

…are some of the remedies of yester-year. Although they provide some temporary symptomatic relief, they did not go far into the colon to address the buildup of toxins. As manufacturers went to work in labs creating capsules and potions, holistic practitioners did the same in experimenting with homemade colon cleanse recipes.

Among the lists of ingredients there are a few that are known to aid in digestion or have fiber like qualities. Those include:

1. Wheat
2. Aloe Vera
3. Flax Seed
4. Acai berry
5. Bentonite Clay
6. Senna
7. Cascara Sagrada
8. Psyillium

The first four on the list have safe and natural fiber benefits as long as the aloe vera does not have aloin, which is banned in the US. Incidentally, it is the aloin that causes the laxative affect. Flax seed is the only listed ingredient with proven benefits other than fiber to aid in cleansing the colon without harmful side effects. The second four ingredients have to be used with strong caution. The psyillium and bentonite clay has to be flushed through the system lest cause blockages in the colon. Senna and cascara sagrada can have more violent side effects if used incorrectly, or by those already experiencing problems.

A couple of more recently recommended sources are Colonix, Colpurin and Blessed Herbs which all have some level of the ingredients that could cause problems. Half of these products stick to walls and crevices of the colon. Oxy powder is the only product that mixes oxygen and water for a more safe approach. This method even causes liquid stools in most people. These main ingredients are used in an array of over the counter relief. Homemade colon cleanse usually involves enemas of some sort or require the mixing of herbs.

Some of the more popular enemas still only penetrate a small portion of the colon. It does not have the affect of an irrigation of the colon for instance, although it falls under the same procedures. Some of the more popular enemas are:

• Yogurt
• Coffee & Teas
• Vinegar
• Garlic
• Juices
• Wheat& Barley grasses
• Epsom salt
• Olive oil

To correct bacterial flora it is even recommended to use yellow baby stool. Green stool indicates a lack of balance between good and bad bacteria. Yogurt is good only if it contains live bacteria cultures. Care has to be given not to use the wrong compound and measurements when making homemade colon cleanse. Herbs in capsule form are subject to be a colon cleansing scam.

Since herbs are not yet regulated, colon cleanse manufacturers can manipulate the percentage of active ingredients to make a higher profit. The most active ingredient in capsule form is going to be fiber based or laced with one or more of the ingredients that could cause potential problems.

It seems the best way to maintain a healthy colon is to start with a colon cleanse supervised by a doctor. Eating fruits and vegetables coupled with exercise is the best  free homemade colon cleanse available. Consistency will avoid desperation and the possibility of falling prey to the latest colon cleansing scam.

Hello.  James here and this is my uncensored report on the colon cleansing scam.  If you want to know whether or not colon cleansing is a scam, I’m glad you found this site and I suggest you keep reading.

I have to warn you though: I am pulling no punches here, so if you feel that some of this is information that you do not want to hear, you may as well leave now.

If you would rather skip this article and go right to the product website to see what they have to say, click here.

If you read my previous posts, you already know how I was introduced to colon cleansing products and what they are.  You know that I have taken them as has my girlfriend.  You know that there was a colon cleansing product that actually did help with Kathy’s constipation and that she recommended that I try it for diarrhea. Now on to the “brass tacks”:

First of all, there are hundreds of companies in the colon cleansing supplement industry.  Bowtrol is the one that we took that helped some, although we did try others. First I will tell you what it did do:

• It did help with Kathy’s constipation
• It did help with my diarrhea
• It did reduce Kathy’s feeling of being “bloated”

What it did not do:

• It did not help either of us to get into better shape
• It did not give us the ability to better digest our food
• Neither of us lost any weight
• It did not give either of us a “fresh” feeling of being detoxified
• It did not significantly increase our energy

Here is the truth behind it:  The benefits of colon cleansing were scientifically debunked years ago.  While they do have some minor benefits, these same benefits can be had from proper nutrition, without the risks of using colon cleansing products.  I told you before that it was hard for both of us to get the proper nutrition, given her busy schedule and my limited capacities.  This lack of nutrition and proper exercise was the biggest contributor to our problems.

We had to find a way to get our bodies to be ready to utilize the food we ate without a lot of exercise, and without diet pills, supplements, etc.  We had to come up with a plan that we could stick to.  We needed to find a way to do all of this, without feeling like we were sacrificing. We actually found a way that did not require us to take unsafe supplements or spend a lot of time exercising or count calories or anything like that – something that allowed us to be friends with our food and finally get healthy again.

Did I say “unsafe supplements”?  How can an herbal supplement be unsafe?  Here are some cold, hard facts about colon cleansing supplements that the supplement companies do NOT want you to know:

Nutritional supplements are not regulated by the FDA. That means that there is no governing body that tells these companies that their supplements have to actually contain what they say they do!  The pills you are taking could be powdered sugar in a capsule, and you would never know.

Colon cleansing products can do damage do your colon. Colon cleansers use laxatives and other products that interfere with your colon’s ability to absorb moisture.  This can cause dependence on laxatives for regular bowel movements.  They can also cause an electrolyte imbalance which can actually lead to heart failure.  Frequent use of oral laxatives can also cause drug absorption issues.  There are many more dangers as well.

Your Colon does not need cleansing. Our bodies are naturally capable of eliminating waste on its own.  There are countless ads that show the “waste” that passed through the test subject due to the cleansing product.  The fact is that there has never been a surgery or autopsy performed that found someone with waste build up in their colon! The “waste debris” shown in the ads was the product itself!

Is that what you want to put in your body?

Okay, so now the challenge:  I want you to take a second and ask yourself why you want a colon cleansing product.  Is it because you heard that colonics can help you to lose weight?  Are you afraid that your body is filling with toxins?  Do you think that colon cleansing will help to prevent colon cancer?  Maybe you just want more energy?  I am going to tell you a way that you can get all of that and then some – SAFELY!

Look, there is a reason that I put up this site and wrote all of these articles.  It is because I am sick to death of being sold scams that don’t work!  I want to share something with you that does.  It worked for me.  I am incapable of most forms of exercise, due to my injuries (explained on the About Me page), and can rarely cook.  Yet I am thin, healthy and feeling better than I have in years!

Click here to see how I did it.

I hope this article was helpful and informative.  Please feel free to quote this information and pass it along to whomever you like.  The colon cleansing scam is bigger than both you and me, but the more we spread the word, the less people will be conned.

Thanks for reading,

Hello. This is James, and I’d like to welcome you to Colon Cleansing Scam. In this first article, I wanted to just give you an idea of how Kathy and I first got involved with colon cleansing. If you read my About Me page, you already know a little about me and Kathy and a little about why we came to investigate colon cleansing products. I will go into a little more detail here.

First, about me: I suffered a few injuries while working as a service plumber for about 18 years. These injuries caused pretty severe spinal problems in my neck and back, as well as hip problems. With these injuries, it is very difficult to get any real exercise. Cooking regular meals is difficult, because I cannot stand for longer than a minute or two at a time, and I usually need a cane to walk. Kathy is so busy with school that she rarely has time to cook.

I was feeling sluggish a lot and gaining weight. I was always tired. Kathy told me, over and over, that all of the pain medications and stuff were building up in my body and I should look at some kind of product that can flush the residue out of my system. She had heard a lot about colon cleansing products and how they are supposed to help detoxify the body and remove build-up in the bowels. I was also having problems with diarrhea, and she said a colon cleanse would help that as well.

Now, Kathy started looking into colon cleansing products for a different reason – constipation. Her busy schedule made it hard for her to get enough exercise as well. She was not eating right which was causing her to have constipation. It was Kathy that first started looking into and finally trying colon cleansers. She actually tried a few of them before finding one that didn’t make her feel “icky”. The one she liked was called “Bowtrol” (in case you are interested, click the name to get more info about them). It did seem to help her with her constipation, and that added some weight to her argument that I should try it as well.

Now, there is more to the story here than “she tried Bowtrol and it worked”. Is colon cleansing a scam? This site is called “Colon Cleansing Scam” for a reason, and we will get to that reason a little later.   Right now, I need to get to a doctor’s appointment. Take care and I’ll see at the next post.

Thanks for reading,
James
