Have you ever done a cleansing regime? Would you ever consider it? A lot of it makes sense - the theories behind it and if you have ever seen the stuff that some people produce - what we store in our colins - is - well in a word, GROSS! I mean some of this stuff stays there for years. Apparently - what can happen is this residual stuff creates mucus which breed bacteria causeing all kinds of illnesses.

Anyway - I am wondering if anyone here has done this or if any of you have ever considered it...

I know I am not typically in this forum, but I am doing a cleansing now! I know people will say "the body will cleanse itself naturally" but in this day and age of over processed foods, chemicals that we consume/absorb and with the food industry finding more ways (by chemical means) to make food cheaper to produce, it is NOT NATURAL so the body sometimes can NOT cleanse itself. I, within 30 hours of starting my cleanse went from literally 3-4 bowel movements per MONTH, to 2-5 BM's PER DAY. I have not seen any "strange" things, but just the fact that I am GOING and that stuff is not sitting in me has really opened my eyes. I am not a "BIG" eater, so I know volume wise, I am expelling more than I am eating so there must be build up that is coming out. I feel better too. My mental clarity has improved, I am sleeping better and I just feel better overall. I have still been loosing weight (not becuase of the cleanse, but because of my eating habits/diet). I have also cut out sugar/flour and processed foods as much as I can possibly being we are not close to a health food store. If you would like more information feel free to PM me.

What do you have to do to "cleanse"?

Valentines goal:



1 jiggy for every 5lbs lost

It usually involves some fiber (like psyllium husks) and some herbs to facillitate the bowle emptying... Stuff like Henna Tea...

Gonna Loose it again - Girl - 3-4 times a month is WAY scary! I am regular usually twice a day - no problems there - so I am wondering if perhaps I don't need to do it? The biggest problem I am having right now is the fact that so many of these info sites sound like snake oil salesmen. I just don't know who to trust... can you PM me the link to the cleansing system you use?

Even twice a day sounds like a lot to me!! I am max 1 a day. OK too much personal info...LOL

I think you must mean senna tea...henna is only to be applied topically and not to be taken internally

As far as my experience with cleansing goes, I have done extensive cleansing and sen many benefits. A cleanse can be as simple as avoiding packaged and processed foods, juicing for health, increasing whole foods and raw foods and drinking herbal teas that facilitate detoxification of the organs; very simple, very natural and very safe!

ROFLMAO - you are so right yogini... sometimes the brain just doesn't work like it should...

I would love to hear more about your cleanse without any of those "products". Would you be willing to share with me? Either by PM or if you think it would be okay maybe you could post here what you do? Thanks!

I am doing the juicing now to cleanse other organs, I am starting today, I think with the colon cleanse I am doing it should really make me feel GREAT. Anyone want to know what I am using can PM me as I have seen so many people really get grief from any cleansing, so I will not promote on the boards the system I use. But I will share it provately.
