Has anyone tried the master cleanse?

I'm interested in the results - im not sure if i am going to try it but I would like to hear from some people who have. What effect did it have for you? what did you find difficult etc.





Thanks guys!Has anyone tried the master cleanse?
I have heard from a few people that it made them feel weak and sick.





In order to lose weight, you need to exercise and eat right, that is the ONLY permanent solution.





You may also want to consider looking into detox options, which is the best cleanse there is.

  • When should you exfoliate/moisturize/cleanse?

    okay so when should you do all of these beauty treatments, like what time of day or before you shave or go swimming or have a shower!? And what do each of them do for your body and skin?


    thankyou!When should you exfoliate/moisturize/cleanse?
    CLEANSING:


    You need to find a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it.





    Avoid bar soaps as they tend to dry out the skin. I hared that soap should only ever touch the skin from the neck down, however many people use soap on their face. Most cleansers contain oil, water and 'surfactants'. The oil dissolves oil on your face, surfactants dissolve dirt and makeup and the water washes it all away. Too much on your skin will clog pores, while too little will dry it out. This is why you need to know your skin type.





    Be careful not to cleanse too often. Washing at night should do you. In the morning, a splash of lukewarm water is all you need. It's great for removing excess oils from your nightly moisturizing. Never wash your face with hot or cold water (both can cause broken capillaries). Also be careful about overcleansing skin.





    WASHING YOUR FACE:


    Use warm water to loosen dirt and clogged pores. Use a small blob of cleanser, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. You'll also want to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover.





    EXFOLIATION:


    Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference. There are several ways to exfoliate skin: Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and retinoids.





    HOW SCRUBS WORK:


    Scrubs work by removing the top layer of dead skin cells that tend to dull your complexion. Exfoliating skin once a week with a microdermabrasion kit keeps skin glowing year-round. Make sure you use a gentle scrub with tiny grains. Big grains in cheap scrubs can tear skin and cause more harm than good.





    MOISTURIZING:


    A basic law of beauty is that everyone, no matter her skin type, should moisturize. Even if your skin is oily, it will benefit from moisturizers. (The only exception is those with acne). Moisturizers seal moisture into skin. Your skin will tell you how much you need to moisturize. When your skin is tight, it's crying out for moisture. Be careful not to overmoisturize as this can cause clogged pores.





    TONERS:


    Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this.





    Hope this helps you!When should you exfoliate/moisturize/cleanse?
    I cleanse tone and moisturise everyday before i go to bed...


    I exfoliate every week!





    Cleansing gets rid of all the dirt on your skin, toning helps reduce pores and get rid of oil, and moisturising softens your skin...





    I use dove fresh touch soap... which seems to have got rid of my spots! I use clean and clear oil free moisturiser which is great if you have spots or oily skin!
    do all those things before u go to bed. during the night, our cells rejuvenate and vitamin E creams are the best to use.. lightly not a hugh chunk.. the skin need to breath.. In the middle of the day, our body sort of expand a bit, so avoid shoe shopping..


    exfoliate only when our skin are fully wet, not after just a splash of water..

    Is there another way to cleanse your body?

    without any pills like a natural way like drinking something and no solids idk something that will cleanse your body without pills :)Is there another way to cleanse your body?
    you body naturally cleanses itself. If you just eat healthy foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, etc. you won't need to cleanse.





    If you really want to detox anyway, I know a lot of people do juice fasts, you really don't need the pills.Is there another way to cleanse your body?
    Your body is a very efficient machine. If you give it the right fuel it will use what it needs and expel the rest. It cleanses itself continually. These detox things are just another of a long string of unnecessary things to take your money
    all of the others are right. you are going to need a whole lot of water. u need to drink as much as possible. u might also need to go to the bathroom all the time, but its worth it..
    Water just drink lots of water
    water?

    Will alcohol effect a Thisilyn Cleanse?

    Will drinking alcohol ruin what a Thisilyn Cleanse is supposed to do? I've been on Nature's Way Thisilyn Cleanse for two days and wanted to know if I can drink alcohol - or if it will totally ruin what I've done so far.Will alcohol effect a Thisilyn Cleanse?
    Drinking will utterly ruin your cleanse and can do further damage to the liver. You might want to take a daily liver formula if you drink regularly. Check the Nature's Way website for their recommendations. Be kind to your liver!Will alcohol effect a Thisilyn Cleanse?
    If you are doing any kind of cleanse, then yes, alcohol will ruin it. Alcohol is a poison, technically, that's why it affects people the way it does.
    no

    Are there any great COLON CLEANSING products?

    have you tried any products if so what?





    or which ones do i stay away from?Are there any great COLON CLEANSING products?
    From my personal experience the ones that GNC sell don't work but that could just be my system didn't take to it. But I found a product on the internet which worked great called, don't laugh- PoopDoc. It removes all the bad stubborn bacteria left in the intestine. It is a 3 day system with so many pills each day, just don't leave the house much during this time because you WILL need a bathroom, no painful cramping either which was great. Research it and see what you think %26amp; good luck.Are there any great COLON CLEANSING products?
    The most logical and simple method is the best, and for that reason. Here's the mix, and how to cleanse:


    Get a good night's sleep. Mix two teaspoons of epsom salts in 32 ounces of tepid water until the salts blend in thoroughly. Sit on the toilet and drink all of it down. This will take time, probably twenty minutes. Shortly thereafter, your colon will begin to cleanse itself. By thirty minutes' time after it begins, you should feel energized, and clean (at least on the inside, LOL). Skip breakfast, as this will give your gastrointestinal tract a much-needed rest.


    Note: By using this method, the salts stay only in the gastrointestinal tract and are not absorbed by the body. Works like gangbusters!
    Mulberry tea and fresh mulberries are believed to be good cleansing or detoxifying agents.





    You can buy some mulberry tea at chinese grocery stores.
    You can try fiber and herbs, herbal aloe.If you want to get this product you can send email at doktermorin@gmail.com


    I use this product since 6 months ago and now i am free from constipation and healthy digestion.
    If you use this stuff that comes from over in Isreal, it's called the dead see products. They may be highly priced but they improve your face within 3 weeks. (:

    I just got my colon cleansed, I heard that you lose weight afterwards but I have not lost nothing and it has -?

    been a few hours. What does this mean?I just got my colon cleansed, I heard that you lose weight afterwards but I have not lost nothing and it has -?
    A colon cleanse is not a one off treatment to make you lose weight.


    You need to do this regularly, about once a week at first to start cleaning out your colon then you need to maintain a healthy diet and stick to a simple exercise plan to help keep your insides clean.


    It takes a few weeks, but keep it up and you will notice weight loss, better skin and general all over better health.


    Weight loss is never a one treatment over night miracle, it's about changing habits. I just got my colon cleansed, I heard that you lose weight afterwards but I have not lost nothing and it has -?
    You lost some weight in your wallet though, right?





    The only way for a colon cleanse to cause you to lose weight is for it to disrupt your digestive system to the point that you get diarrhea and the food passes through too fast to be adsorbed and you possibly also get dehydrated. It isn't like you are going to lose your love handles in a few hours.
    water retention








    most likely, it is like when u start getting skinnier your body takes a bit of time to catch up so it doesn't show immediately it also depends how full your colon was
    sorry, but this is total snake oil. Of course you cannot lose weight after a colon cleansing - not any weight more than the stool that comes out.



    Nothing really. I cleansed mine and i didnt lose a pound. I felt lighter and better. You'll be okay,
    Colon cleanses don't make you lose fat...only feces!





    If you want to lose fat eat healthy and exercise.
    Well then your colon must have been empty before it was cleansed. It's nice to be regular ; )
    You lose poop!

    Should I get a colon cleanse kit- please answer?

    I've been considering a colon cleanse- an at home kit. I have terrible persisting constipation, gas ad bloating after every meal. I am allergic to gluten and don't get enough fiber- but I've started taking supplements. But I have a feeling that things are still ';blocked up';. Should I try a cleasne?Should I get a colon cleanse kit- please answer?
    I believe the Colonix colon cleanse at http://www.drnatura.com is a super home colon cleanse program. I used this colon cleanse program with life changing results http://www.healthbanquet.com/colon-clean鈥?/a>





    It will definitely improve the health of your colon. After the colon cleanse, do all you can to enhance the health of you colon function through friendly bacteria rich foods, good fiber, living foods, plenty of water and excercise and the good oils - stay away from the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated processed oils.





    Also stay away from the processed foods and white flour foods that cause constipation problems.





    ErynShould I get a colon cleanse kit- please answer?
    You can try to use this technique and see if it will work. Make sure you are not allergic to any of its contents first though. This may sound gross, but I usually just drink pickle juice and it helps clean me out.
    those type of things are a good way to go if you don't think things aren't flowing as they should be...it runs things right out of you, i would do it in your situation

    Can you use lemon juice from a bottle instead of from real lemons on the maple syrup cleanse that beyonce did?

    Yes but make sure it's pure lemon juice with no additives.Can you use lemon juice from a bottle instead of from real lemons on the maple syrup cleanse that beyonce did?
    Why not just eat real food and not some gimmicky flavored water thing? I like lemon juice in my water for a bit of flavor. I also like my water plain. I like my real maple syrup on whole wheat pancakes. This is just me, though.Can you use lemon juice from a bottle instead of from real lemons on the maple syrup cleanse that beyonce did?
    they say you shouldnt but i cant see how it matters if its purely for weightloss. but i did, It was still foul. i can honestly say it was the most horrific diet i have ever been on.


    But good luck.
    yes you can!


    i did it, it was horrible, couldn't stand drinking it!


    good luck :)

    How do you remove a curse or bad luck. Does spiritual cleansing work?

    I think all the females in my family, including my cousins have been cursed and we cannot find our true love. We are all in our late 20's early 30's attractive woman and have no luck in love and marriage does not seem likely even with our share of boyfriends. We all think there is an aunt who is not related by blood who hated our grandmother (her ex-mother in law) who cursed all of us. How do you remove this curse and does spiritual cleansing work?How do you remove a curse or bad luck. Does spiritual cleansing work?
    Hello Palm





    This is not a curse, nor bad luck. What you have is a belief system - what you should do here is to focus on changing that negative thought pattern.





    PamHow do you remove a curse or bad luck. Does spiritual cleansing work?
    A cleansing could work... But it would also be something in your genetic history maybe?





    I think it is worth talking to a specialist. If a cleansing doesn't work, try past life regression.
    This what you are talking about does not exist in the world, but only in the hearts and minds of sinful people. All the cleansing was done and dusted already...so why are you trying to do this again.....and make an already angry God even more angry!!





    Have you ever considered why John the Baptist testified about Jesus the day after he baptised Him, ';Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!'; (John 1:29). Do you know what the sins of the world really is? If you know what this is you will get very excited indeed!!!


    You see Jesus came to us and was baptised and all the sins of the world was laid upon Him by His servant John the Baptist just before He was baptised. He then went to the Cross and paid the wages for all our sins with His very Life.


    So there is no more sins left in this world!!!! It only exists in the minds of sinful man...hence all your words.


    You can become a righteous and sinless child of God if you know and believe in His gospel (John 3:5).


    But this will lead you to it. www.bjnewlife.org
    As a Christian, I know it works. I would repent and ask for forgiveness from the Lord first for any sins or generational sins committed by you or family. Then simply renounce those things and rebuke the Devil. Bind and cut off any curses and kick the Devil out and send him away. You belong to Jesus, not him. Find a spirit filled person and they can help you with this. I was addicted to drugs and alcohol and couldn't get over my depression. I was a struggling musician but after I came to the Lord and found out about spiritual warfare, everything changed. Not only have I found a new love(Jesus) but I also know how to fight off death. Have a strong relationship with God and you will be amazed at the change in your life, not only will the Devil leave you alone, but the Lord will bless you and give you the desires of your heart. God Bless!!
    Have you ever thought it is not a curse or a bad luck but a signal. It is wise to understand your surroundings.





    However, you must have faith in God and pray always at all times. Meditate or pray in your heart.





    It's like me, when I am walking a far distance, I always read prayers in my heart. When I am waiting for something I always meditate. When I receive something that I want, I always thank God.





    That way, the curse can be erased or avoided.





    Try learning very effective prayer.





    I once learnt a prayer called Verse of The Throne which God sends two angels to protect you in your sleep throughout morning. From then onwards, I never had any bad dreams :)





    Peace be upon you :)

    Anyone used First Cleanse or any other total internal body cleansing system?

    I just started my First Cleanse program. This is the first time Ive ever used one so Im kind of nervous about it.


    Is it necessary to use a fiber supplement with it?


    Can you tell me if you noticed anything significant during the process or after...did you feel better or notice results of any kind?

    What is the recipe for the lemonade used in the Master Cleanse diet?

    Preparing the Lemonade


    Ingredients:


    2 tablespoons lemon juice (use only organic lemons)


    2 tablespoons grade-B maple syrup


    1/10th teaspoon cayenne pepper





    Preparation:


    Dissolve all ingredients in 8 oz water.





    Prepare the lemonade as given. Do not change the proportion of any ingredient. The lemonade may not give you the desired results. Do not substitute the maple syrup or cayenne pepper with anything else. The use of honey in this lemonade is a strict 'NO'.





    You can substitute the water with fresh sugarcane juice if available. If using fresh sugarcane juice eliminate the maple syrup. The reason why this is not usually told is that fresh sugarcane juice is not readily available in the US. This is very useful for persons living in most of the Asian countries where fresh sugarcane juice is available in plenty, not maple syrup.

    How is the blood cleansed of metabolic waste if the kidneys do not function?

    dialysis must be doneHow is the blood cleansed of metabolic waste if the kidneys do not function?
    Using dialysis, whereby the blood is passed through a semi-permeable membrane made of cellulose or a similar product which removes the impurities. Because the blood of someone with kidney failure


    contains some minerals at very high levels, these leave the blood and flow into the dialysate through the membrane by diffusion. Excess fluid and substances in the blood pass through and are taken away in the dialysate until blood contains the correct balance of minerals once more. Simple answer, but that's all I know.How is the blood cleansed of metabolic waste if the kidneys do not function?
    The liver... or dialysis?





    Don't put any money on my answer...





    =edit=


    Eh... not the liver.





    It's definitely dialysis.
    It isn't.... you would require dialysis.
    by some machine at the hospital i guess...

  • DO we have to cleanse our neck?

    I know that they always say wash the face and neck, but why can we not just wash our face?..I religously keep my face clean, but have to admit, I don't go scrubing my neck with soap at night, or any other time..what is the harm? My neck looks fine? What IS the deal with washing your neck?DO we have to cleanse our neck?
    I don't wash my neck when I wash my face. It's fine. Some people tend to get acne on their neck.


    I do, however, wash my face whenever I am in the shower with regular body soap.DO we have to cleanse our neck?
    i think that it is better if you wash your neck, because i have seen some people who dont wash their necks tend to have a brownish color of their neck, and that would be the dirt.





    also your neck is always, or most of the time exposed to the air and thus the dirt/bacteria in the air...





    so i guess if u want ur neck to be spotless and normal colored for the most part, you should wash it :)





    Hope I Heped! :]
    your supposed to wash everything


    ..like wash it in the shower real good

    Wot is best 4 cleansing dry skin face washes? or dove soap?

    and should i change with the seasons? e.g thicker cleanser 4 winter n a lighter 1 4 summer? at mo im using simples face wash!Wot is best 4 cleansing dry skin face washes? or dove soap?
    I have been using Dove soap for YEARS and have never gotten any pimples or dried out skin. I have read that some celebrities even swear by Ivory soap. A good soap and a moisturizer is all you need.Wot is best 4 cleansing dry skin face washes? or dove soap?
    Don't use soap ever!! It washes out most of the oils which are good for your skin and it leaves your face dry. Washing your face with soap, can make it go dirtier!! I use rosewater you can get it from any shop! Just dab it on some cotton wool thingy (lol) and then wipe your face with it.
    Never use any kind of soap on your face. Moisturise day and night, night creams for night. Exfoliate well this will get rid of the dryness. Soap and glory exfoliating face wash is very good.






    I just use face wipes to remove my make-up before i go to bed. But i always put cream on my face in the morning, whether the make-up is going on or not. It helps a lot.
    Johnson's baby soap.

    If i followed master cleanse diet for 4 days how much can i expect to lose?

    i am 124lb 5'5 girl wants to lose 9 lb before going to beach and wear bikiniIf i followed master cleanse diet for 4 days how much can i expect to lose?
    Ok the last one you asked about only drinking juices and water for 4 days was very unhealthy. But doing a NATURAL cleanse is ok, now if its like some cleanse where you dont eat anything for 4 days then thats not ok. Im not trying to bve rude, but it sounds like you are trying to take the easy wway out. Now if you exscersise everyday, and watch what you eat then it will be healthy and the right way. You shouuld not lose any weight cause then you will be under weight which can cause alot of health problems, my aunt weighed 130 pounds and she was 5' 8'; and that is perfectly healthy, but she thought she was fat so she went on a south beach diet, yeah she lost ALOT of weight, but it also puty her in the hospital because she was under weight, she had 9 tubes coming out of every part of her body, she died a few weeks after she started the diet cause her body was under weight, by the day before she died she weighed, 86 pounds. You need to love yourself, cause im sure you are beautiful no matter what.If i followed master cleanse diet for 4 days how much can i expect to lose?
    It depends on how toxic your body is. I did the cleanse and only lasted 8 days, but I lost 8 lbs, and I lost most of it toward the end of that 8 days. I think you'd lose all 9 pounds if you stayed on it for the 10 days. Also, only have 6 drinks per day.

    Has anyone ever tried the Quick trim product called ';fast cleanse';? or any other quick trim products?

    I wanna lose weight in less than a month and I'm gonna eat healthy and excercise but i wanna try these products..thank you for the answers!Has anyone ever tried the Quick trim product called ';fast cleanse';? or any other quick trim products?
    I started the Quick Trim Cleanse on Tuesday. The night before I had a feast so I'm sure the scale went up a few lbs. I'm between 140-145 and have not been able to get under 140 for almost 2 years I believe. I started on Tuesday weighing 146.7 lbs. Today is now Friday and I weigh 136.7 lbs. I know a lot of it is water weight, but I do feel great and my clothes actually fit. It's definitely too soon to tell, but day 4 and I'm doing okay. I've been following the diet in the book pretty precise and it is A LOT easier today. My only complain is the nauseas feeling I get after taking the ISO BURN pills. You have to understand that they're packed with caffeine. It's similar to drinking a cup of coffee on an empty stomach, the acid doesn't react too well w/ it. It doesn't last too long though. I usually eat a little chicken or a few grapes and the feeling goes away within minutes.





    10 more days to go, we'll see how it turns out =).Has anyone ever tried the Quick trim product called ';fast cleanse';? or any other quick trim products?
    I just bought the Extreme Burn on Tuesday (the 15th) and I've already lost 6 pounds. I do watch what I eat and eat no later than 6:30 pm, and I work out for atleast an hour each day. I love it. It gives me so much energy and it doesn't make my heart race or feel all jittery. I normally take 2 capsules between breakfast and lunch, and then another 2 between lunch and dinner...when I do that, I don't over-eat like I used to and I have enough energy at night to have a pretty good workout at the gym. Good luck!
    That first answer is a scam..don't ever do any free trials. They end up charging your credit card outrageous amounts!

    How can i cleanse my mind and soul?

    iv been having a terrible life lately, i dont enjoy life like i should i im being very negative and just wasting my life pretty much. how can i be more positive, back in the days years ago in my teen yearas i was the happiest person ever i enjoyed every second of my life NOW i hate life.How can i clean everything out of me and refresh myself inside?How can i cleanse my mind and soul?
    The older you get, the more cynical you become. life gets harder and harder every year. Our frail shoulder have to carry many heavy burdens. Look to the bible for guidance, for there are many things to rejoice over. If you want to start now, make a list of things you have that other people would literally die for. You will feel better. How can i cleanse my mind and soul?
    Take up martial arts under a teacher who understands the role Zen.





    It is easier said than done but simply change your perspective. When you wake up, say to yourself, today is a good day.





    You must heal your mind, body, and spirit.





    Martial arts training does all three when you go to a good school.





    Try it out sometime. To test this do a good solid cardio workout. See how you feel, tired yes, but good?





    Get some sunshine each day. Take a walk in the sun for about 15 to 30 minutes. Put all the distractions of life out of your mind and simply just consider your surroundings. Hear the birds, feel the wind and sun.





    Let go your past guilt. Life is simply a collection of choices. If you have made bad choices then let it go, learn, and make a better choice later.





    Lastly, you need to let go your feelings of worthlessness. You are a human and worth every once of your being.
    just think about the positive side of everything. it could always be worse, so be happy with what you have, rather than focus on everything you don't have :] someone else always has it worse off than you do; so be happy you're blessed enough to have it better than some others who are less fortunate. and be happy that you're just..alive! just be positive and you'll feel sooooo much better.
    Confession is the only way to empty your self.


    But also it is maturity, we grow older and take on worries cares responsibility. we have to put away are carefree childhoods and replace it with adult life.


    Pray a little and contemplate God, this is called for in life, it is that time to set yourself straight and become a guide to the younger ones.


    you need a new hobby maybe, do something that you like, get out of life's rut.
    Francis Loyola has a small booklet on how to set up ones life so as to become pure. He founded the jesuits so he ought to have some great ideas. I forget the title but you should be able to google it by author. Many of the mystics left written guidelines, Teresa Avila ( severe ) Theresa Liesieux ( much happier) and others.You might try a little thoma Merton but this wont be step by step. Good luck.
    Accept Jesus. And know he is with you. loves you. And is willing to give you all the happyness. I know. I was once like you. You reached the age of accountability. God watched over you. And brought you to a point where you have to choose what road you want to travel. the easy road. With Jesus or the hard road. Without. Im not saying go to church, yet. Just pray and read your Bible just a little. Read John. God Bless.

    We think of the past.





    We think of future happiness.





    The future is soon here and we still think of future happiness. So we never experience happiness. Ever, unless....

    john 3:16
    That's what Jesus does.
    You have taken the first step. To recognize that something is wrong and that you are not happy.





    The next step is to analyze what is making you unhappy. Make a list. Then make a plan. This is goal setting. Make sure that the goals you set are realistic and achievable. Give yourself rewards for accomplishments along the way.





    For example: I have no direction in my life. Goal: To find a direction and head toward it. Let's say it is a new career. Will it require education or hands on experience or both. How will you pay for the education or how will you get the experience. Set up a plan. Begin to achieve it.





    This works for all areas of your life. I do know that when things are out of whack in your physical, emotional, spiritual, and social areas of your life that you will not feel the happiness that you desire. Look at each of these areas and see how you can improve the things that you do not like.





    Stephen R. Covey has written a lot of great books on setting goals and achieving happiness. Maybe you could check one out from the library and read it.





    A note on not being negative. When I was in college I had a neat experience. As I was walking to class one day, everyone I saw had something wrong with them. His hair was too long, she was fat, he was old and wrinkled, she was stuck up etc. etc. etc. Then I realized that I was really unhappy that day. Everything was going wrong. I decided to try an experiment. Instead of finding something wrong with everyone I walked by, I would think of something good about them. I tried it. She was pretty, he was dressed nicely, she had pretty hair, etc. etc. etc. I started feeling good inside. I started feeling happy. I realized that I did not have the right to judge others unkindly, and that to do so made me miserable. When I tried to see the good in others I was happier. I think this is the case with all of life. Seeing the good in all things not the bad. This makes us happy and enriches our lives. Try it and see if it works for you!





    Lastly, I don't think that any of us can be truly happy if we are breaking the commandments of God. He has given each of us a conscience that tells us when we are doing something wrong. Listen to it. When you feel inside that you are doing something wrong, then go in prayer to your Father in Heaven and ask him for help and forgiveness. I have found in my life that whenever I have gone in prayer and been sincere and humble that he has never let me down. Learn to be patient and to recognize the things he is telling you through the Holy Ghost. I know that our Father in Heaven loves you and he will help you when you trust in him.





    Good luck and God bless you! I hope this advice helps you in some way.

    Do these colon cleanse pills help you lose weight?

    What are the best ones? I saw one with some pills a green tea..Rachel Rays name was connected with the ad





    Is this whole idea a bunch of BS?





    I *have* read where certain prescription medicine can make your colon muscles/ system basically near shut down, or work in a very slowed manner


    Do these colon cleanse pills help you lose weight?
    Just remember, the only weight you will lose is fecal matter, not fat.





    Some are misinformed about that.








    I would try purchasing herbs individually rather than purchasing a pill with all of them included.You do not know how fresh they are.Research them before you try it.





    Try looking up colonics in your area as well.





    Good luck.Do these colon cleanse pills help you lose weight?
    yes it was proven to however I can not recommend cleansing pills as there are various manufacturers of the product and some may differ in ingredients and their quantity.





    Natural products are a much cheaper and safer route to go. If you were to make broccoli, cauliflower, or cabbage a part of your diet just once a week, it will sufficiently cleanse your colon.





    Men are more likely to develop colon cancer in their life because many do not like vegetables and avoid these foods, but sacrificing once a week isn't so bad and a great precaution.





    If you do opt for pill form, I would recommend you seek the advice of a professional at a health food store.
    The Rx drugs that screw up your colon muscles are synthesized from natural herbs so do not believe for a second that Senns, Cascara Sagrada, and magnesium hydroxide are safer than laxatives for weight loss, or colon cleansing.





    You will lose weight initially on laxatives (herbs, vitamins, minerals, or Rx drugs) because you will poop your brains out. After 3 days of taking them if you try to quit using them, you will have a hard time going to the bathroom and will need more. In other words, they are habit-forming, and there is nothing more miserable than being constipated and dependent on laxatives.





    Exercise, eat healthy (fiber, protein, and good fats; low sugar, low junk), drink water, and control stress. That's the only magic answer. Having said that, some people do benefit from using a cleanse to help them get jumpstarted on their lifestyle changes. I suggest gentle stuff (in moderation) for just 5 days or the recommended amount on the label.





    Good brands:


    Renew Life First Cleanse


    Renew Life Cleansemore


    Enzymatic Therapy Simple Cleanse


    Traditional Medicinals Detox tea (don't overuse this)
    The average weight loss after a through colon cleansing can range from 2-5 pounds. One this process is successfully done with people can see a vast difference such as a flatter stomach or thinner waistline. A weight loss will also give more energy increasing the metabolism and enables one to burn the weight faster.
    Yes, colon cleansing can help you lose weight. I am proof of that. I use pills from IntraCleanse. You can get a free trial of IntraCleanse here: http://sarasweightloss.org/IntraCleanseF鈥?/a>





    Check out my story below.
    Yes, the the benefits of colon cleansing can include weight loss and the average weight loss after a colon cleanse can range from 2-5 pounds.





    You must make sure that you use 'natural' colon cleanse pills.

    Best ways to cleanse the colon?

    natural ways to do it and safely.Best ways to cleanse the colon?
    u can take some pills..so like u can go to anywhere and they usually have it..its says COLON CLEANSER..and they are juss basic pills and juss follow the directionsBest ways to cleanse the colon?
    Well, you have to let me know what your reasons are to cleanse the colon. Do you have a medical blockage or a parasite problem you've just dealt with or just want to feel lighter?





    There are different reasons for different folks.





    There really isn't an unsafe way to cleanse the colon if you are using an enema with water and brewed coffee or lots of water to drink and fasting for a day.





    It's all up to you. However, I've never found it necessary unless you have a clinical problem.

    All drug-test ';cleansing'; products made by same laboratory/laboratories?

    I heard from the owner of a local ';head shop'; business that the chemicals used in all (or at least the vast majority of) products used to create ';false negatives'; on drug tests for THC (marijuana) and other substances are produced by a single laboratory..(I assume this is relevant only to the U.S.)





    Can anyone verify this information??All drug-test ';cleansing'; products made by same laboratory/laboratories?
    Nobody can verify this information. These products are generally not FDA approved. Generally, the way THC and other drugs are detected by a good drug testing lab is with a piece of equipment called a mass spectrometer. In order to fool that test, you would need to obtain something that would do chemistry with the THC to turn it into something else, and those chemicals are hard to come by on the consumer market. Even if you do for example manage to remove the alcohol group on the aromatic ring or somehow methylate or ethylate the alkene functionality on the molecule the molecule will still produce a fragmentation pattern in a mass spectrometer very similar to THC, leading to the conclusion that the chemical is probably THC, just that you tried to fudge the test. Your best bet is to stop smoking pot about 3 days before a urine test. If it's a hair test you're screwed.All drug-test ';cleansing'; products made by same laboratory/laboratories?
    No, all of these products are not made in the same place.





    Yes, the manufacturers of these products could verify this information.
    Its true and the pills run 50$ per pill.
    water is the best but you have to drink like 6 gallons a day

    IS THE MASTER CLEANSE THE BEST DIET THERE IS OUT OF ALL OPTIONS?

    OMG! You should try this. I have lost 9 pounds in just 11 days! It really worked for me!I highly recommend it!IS THE MASTER CLEANSE THE BEST DIET THERE IS OUT OF ALL OPTIONS?
    If you want to lose weight as soon as possible.


    Then, YES.


    But it is up to you.


    It is all up to you if you can handle with it.IS THE MASTER CLEANSE THE BEST DIET THERE IS OUT OF ALL OPTIONS?
    Best diet is going to be the one that best suits your body type. There are different ways this can be categorized -- Blood Type, Metabolic Type, Body Shape -- they work on similar principles. Different body types have different nutritional requirements.





    The diets I use for my patients (I am the Weight Loss Director of a Wellness center) is based on Body Shape. My patients' success rate runs in the 90% range, and keep their weight off even after 2 - 4 years after beginning their programs.





    All of the data for the diets is available in the book: The 7 Principles of Fat Burning by Dr. Eric Berg. The book is available at Amazon.com.





    I start all of my patients on the eating plan in Chapter 10 for at least 2 weeks, then modify their plan according to their body type. The book will describe each body type in detail, including pictures of the shape of each one, so you can choose the diet best suited to your nutritional needs to lose weight and GET HEALTHY.





    Good luck!





    Respectfully,

    i have no idea but i you should REALLY try the acai berry..they have pills with it its for rapid weight loss....it was on oprahs show and what rachel ray used to lose weight....its an AMAZING berry and its the #1 superfood in the world..i never used it but im gonna try it out soon...you should do some more research on it i heard you can lose like 4x as much weight than regularly excersizing because it gives you alot of energy... it has no side affects and can even relieve pain too. i really need to try it out...i just know its AMAZING because alot of weight loss drugs contain some...

    Will be okay and will I lose 5 pound if I water fast and colon cleanse for a week ?

    yes you could lose the weight you want to just be careful.Will be okay and will I lose 5 pound if I water fast and colon cleanse for a week ?
    I don't know how colon cleansing affects people when done all the time, but fasting on nothing but water for a week will damage you. It sounds ok because you can survive two weeks without food and three days without water, but it's really bad for you. Not to mention uncomfotable.





    Remember in 8th grade when you learned that the survivors of the Holocaust were given chocolate by the soldiers, only to die shortly after? This was because their bodies weren't used to the food intake. You probably won't die (as it will have only been a week, not years), but your body will say ';I haven't eaten in so long, who knows when I'll eat again?'; and it will store whatever you eat as FAT, so it can feed off of it when it needs to. Your body will be thinking one step ahead.





    So in the long run, you will end up fatter. That's the short version of it.Will be okay and will I lose 5 pound if I water fast and colon cleanse for a week ?
    yeah, you will lose water weight. it will come right back and it is never agood idea to water fast. Depriving your self of water makes you very prone to infections, and colds even if it is for a few days. risk of urinary infections becomes very high, not to mention tiredness and possible fainting. What you should do if you want to lose 5 lbs is cut out all drinks accept for water and drink at least 8 cups a day then cut out the salty foods because salt makes you retain water and water weight. try increasing your servings of fruits and veggies and no red meat,pork, fast food, or junk foods for a few days and you will recieve healthier results. there are natural detox- colon clense diets you can look up on line that are safer than physically flushing your colon but do the same thing . be safe and healthy
    to do a proper colon cleanse it takes 3 months I know because I tred a lot of different product before I found one that worked. It was worth the effort because I lost heaps of weight with out changing my diet and had a lot of gunk come out of meafter about 2 months. you will find it at the address below
    r u sayin that ur only gonna drink water for an entire week? if so, ur gonna pass out from lack of nutrition! thats not safe at all!
    What do you think? NO!!!! That is not healthy. Just eat right and get some exercise. Dont be lazy.

    Does a colonic cleanse really work and what benefits have you experienced? Please recommend products :)?

    Hi. I thought about doing this and being a nurse changed my mind since who knows what is really in one of those that is advertised. Are you having colon problems? If you are then see your Dr and let them check you out. I let mine go and am paying the price now and am having test after test done on my colon. They found a problem but nothing that medications could not help so ask your Dr before trying anything sold as an advertisment.There is a reason it is an advertisment. Check with your Dr just to be safe. If you want to cleanse your colon out you can do what they have you do before a colonoscopy and that is miralax 17oz crystals diluted in gatorade or sprite. Take half of 17oz and mix with 32oz gatorade in morning then in the evening mix the rest the same way and drink up. You also take 4 Dulcolax tabs. Make sure to do this only when you do not have to be anywhere the next day. or that day as you will be going to the bathroom quite often. This is the instructions for cleansing out a colon for tests so it is the only one i would recommend and only then if you are constipated most of the time otherwise why do this to yourself. This also depends on your age, symptoms and exactly what you want to accomplish. Are you seeing the ones that say your body has parasites in the colon? Ask your Dr as i did and i am very happy that i did so i was not tempted any longer to buy from an untrusted ad. Good luck and think twice before buying something from an ad.

  • Is a colon cleanse pill the same thing as a laxative?

    you always read about the amazing colon cleansing pills, but they sound just like a more expensive laxative. Is this true?Is a colon cleanse pill the same thing as a laxative?
    To understand the difference, it is best to know how supplements work. A laxative works because it is a mild toxin. This toxin enters your body, your body recognizes it as a toxin so treats it as such. Your body's response is to send ';water'; from all other parts of your body to your intestine or colon to dilute the toxin, then spasms to move the toxin out. This is why cramping often occurs, though some may not even feel the cramping. It can also be very dehydrating in the long run. This toxin in question may be a pharmaceutical or could be ';natural.';





    The natural toxin most used is an herb called senna. This toxin can be habit forming. It only takes a few days to become dependent on it. If you use a product with senna in it, it is best to slowly ';wean'; yourself off the product, not just suddenly stop using it. This could lead to constipation as your body has become used to a stimulant ';forcing'; it to work.





    Natural stimulants such as cascara sagrada, buckthorn bark and triphala work better for a cleanse. All of these stimulate the release of natural hormonal oils in the intestinal tract, which then leads to peristalsis (muscular contractions of the digestive tract). This natural release, in a way, ';trains'; your body to work on it's own, instead of forcing it to work. As you come off of a colon cleanse with this type of herb, your system should be able to work on it's own naturally, providing you are eating well and you ';cleansed'; long enough.





    A laxative works as an IRRITANT to the nerves of the colon. Long term laxative use can actually damage the nerve cells in the colon, causing it to lose its natural ability to contract. Laxatives can create a physical dependency. When you stop taking laxatives, the bowel is unable to function normally and constipation will be CREATED.





    True cleansing will help the body release the buildup of toxins and mucoid plaque.





    When searching for a good colon cleanse product, be sure to check your ingredients. True body cleansing will assist your body's natural ability to cleanse itself. The herbs should provide nutrition, which gives strength to your organs. It is a slow process since it can take 10-30 years to build up the excess waste. Knowing this, you see that it may take a year or two to undo the damage.Is a colon cleanse pill the same thing as a laxative?
    that is exactly what they are, high priced and often toxic laxatives.
    yea.. but when u go to the bathroom ur cleansing so whats the point of those colon cleanse pills?????????

    What are the ';toxins'; people are always trying to ';cleanse'; and detox their body of?

    i dont get itWhat are the ';toxins'; people are always trying to ';cleanse'; and detox their body of?

    that's the worst Best answer I have seen all day Report Abuse

    THERES NOTHING TO GET....ITS THE NEW $$$$MAKING IDEA.....WATER DRINKERS ARE ENOUGH...NOT THE NEW CLEANSE CHIT THATS SOLD AND PROMISES MIRACLES.....
    The greatest toxin is ones mind


    and the poisonous thoughts that people manufacture in thier minds and feed themselves with
    The toxins our bodies process through our kidneys and liver ARE real dangerous life threatening toxins!! It's the belief of many, some degreed physicians and respected medical doctors, that sweating can help our body's natural toxin filters ';cleanse'; ourselves of these toxins.





    And so for them, the sauna is popular.





    Some religions kinda get Twilight Zone out there with THEIR own metaphors of ';toxins'; and ways to ';cleanse'; people's spirits and bodies of such things; it's best to steer clear and away from such people.
    When you realize how very efficient the skin is at absorbing and integrating into the body anything it comes into contact with, you might also want to take a second look at exactly what elements you're introducing to your body via your skin. Every single product that you've used during your sample morning outlined above likely contains toxic and carcinogenic elements - from your toothpaste to your deodorant. In addition, many of the products available in North America contain chemicals that have been completely banned in numerous other countries. It's beyond the scope of this article to go into exactly what each of these chemicals are and which products they're found in, but rest assured if you didn't buy all your toiletry products from a reputable health pharmacy, you're likely absorbing toxic and carcinogenic elements from every single product you use.





    Then there's the supposedly healthy breakfast you ate. But what about the secondary hormones, antibiotics, and pesticide residues in the milk? Your cereal packet was likely sprayed with BHA or BHT: ';Researchers report that BHA in the diet of pregnant mice results in brain enzyme changes in their offspring including a 50 percent decreased activity in brain cholinesterase, which is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses. BHA and BHT also affect the animal's sleep, levels of aggression and weight.'; (Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, by The Burton Goldberg Group, pg. 169)





    Maybe you sweetened your cereal with Aspartame, which is banned in numerous countries and has the longest list of complaints the FDA has ever received. Then there are the pesticide residues found in the cereal itself and also on and in your apple. Your supposedly ';normal'; morning routine is beginning to look like a toxic nightmare. We have to wonder why childhood cancer rates are up several hundred percent from the 1970's. What exactly is causing all these auto-immune diseases like lupus, fibromyalgia, Crohn's, multiple sclerosis, etc? And why is it that the incidence rate of cancer in America is now 1 in 3? Could it be that between our diet, environmental pollutants, household cleansers, cookware, toiletries, water supply, synthetic materials, building materials and other supposedly ';normal'; elements, we are slowly and synergistically poisoning ourselves?





    There are currently over four hundred pesticides and two thousand food additives that have been approved for use in America. Over 69 million Americans live in regions that exceed smog standards and most drinking water contains over seven hundred chemicals. As many as ten thousand chemicals enter our bodies in the form of solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives used in food processing and storage. What on earth makes us think our bodies can withstand such a chemically saturated environment without breaking down? And where do we go from here, how do we progress from feeling depressed and overwhelmed by our current toxin load to a healthier, less toxic state of being?
    im gonna say drugs, alcohol, and any other chemical not found in nature, like pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, etc....





    many people believe that getting rid of these things makes the body function more effectively
    Not only are there drugs and alcohol, or the chemicals you can find in our environment and food, but there are the regular waste products that our bodies produce every day. Many people in our culture do not eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. They do not drink enough water or exercise enough. Our bodies are meant to cleanse themselves on a regular basis, but if we do not do the things that our bodies need most, the toxins can accumulate and our bodies cannot get rid of them properly. That's why such things as detox diets exist. These are very short-term diets whose goal is to kick start our bodies into getting rid of excess waste and toxins thereby making our bodies work better. When our bodies work better, we feel better and have more energy.
    Anything harmful to the body is considered a ';toxin'; because of the word toxic. Drinking plenty of water rids many toxins out of body.
    alcohol and drugs
    Toxins are what your body produces but doesn't get rid of entirely by itself. For example lactic acid, which is what you muscles produce when you use them. It sits in the muscles and it is what makes you sore and stiff. There are others, too, but I am a massage therapist, so that is the one I know well.





    However, here is a website that I thought was kind of informative, though they are trying to sell you something.
    toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, secondhand smoke, bleach, and cleaning chemicals through the skin and metal chemicals are things that the body does not easily rid it self of.
    Homocystine
    the acids inside our stomach are considered toxins


    there are acids that are bad,like the ones that give you heartburn,and there are acids that are good,like the ones that breakdown your food in your stomach.


    cleansing them makes them into good acids
    germs
    Good for you being skeptical! It's all B.S. The body is quite capable of shedding what may be bad for it while at the same time has it's way of telling you what it needs--nature gave us assorted teeth to eat meat and plants--so do it and don't worry about the nitwits telling you about colon cleansing and other crap.

    No it doesn't. Bath's in general don't clean your skin because you are simply sitting in your own filth.

    What is the best acai berry\colon cleanse trials?

    for the past year people have been hyped up over the stuff so im wondering which of these trials are legit work and stuff like that. i also want to know f its possible to use that type of stuff and gain muscle and look ripped . i just got to sort through which ones are real and which are complete bs.What is the best acai berry\colon cleanse trials?
    I got into this kick awhile back myself. I can tell you that I tried alot of crap that didn't work. A doctor said that the only way to truly cleanse your colon was to actually have it cleansed at a clinic. Don't buy in to this crap. Ever-cleanse, 7-day cleanse it's all a money racket. Sorry I wish that I could tell you that it worked but I spent alot of money on this crap and I don't want you to do the same thing.What is the best acai berry\colon cleanse trials?
    Just use your insurance to get a colonoscopy check and if it's not going well there, grab a prescription. Acai Berries are only good as an Antioxidant. There are other alternatives (cheaper ones) to cleaning your colon. Just eat fruit regularly.





    And there are no good Acai Berry Trials. I can guarantee every single one is a scam.

  • Does the cleansing diet work?

    only answer if you have used it or no what it is.Does the cleansing diet work?
    to be honest the best way is not to go on a diet as ive tried them all and diet pills and they dont work lol but just change your diet and go swimming 4-5 times a week for about an hour each time it tones your tummy and all your body up wonderful too ! i lost 2 stone since may its great and i eat loads too im just eating the right foods but instead of swimming try aqua arobics its great and really fun ! great question star for you and goodluck !Does the cleansing diet work?
    i'm sorry but what diet is it?
    seems a very expensive diet. I would think the only pounds you would loose might be from your wallet.


    Added to which, I have grave doubts about the previous post re:fat cells surrounding toxins. This is not how the body works! Fat people happened in the Middle Ages, in Roman times, in fact throughout history - long before pollution was a concern.


    As with all things: caution.


    It will work if you want it to. So will cutting down and exercising. Best of luck.


    Edit: Curious as to why the previous answer was removed!?


    Anyway, basically, treat your body like a car (for this analogy only!) - if you put it in, you have to use it up. too much in, however, and unlike a car it will sit on your body until you do burn it up. Anything else is going to be a temporary quick fix, ie, collapsing the fat cells which are mostly water, to make you appear to have lost weight. As soon as your fluid intake inceases - boom! its back to where you were, and you'll feel a failure. Getting rid of the fat cells completely is the only answer and that happens during exercise.

    Best colon cleansing method or products?

    Are there any products, like at Trader Joes or Whole Foods Market that offer a good healthy way to cleanse your intestinal tract and detox your system? There is a lot of ';products'; out there, like on infomercials that cost hundreds of dollars. Im sure there is a better way then what they offer (and probably less expensive). Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated! Im not looking for drug detox system either. My wife came across some late night commercial and it looks like a gimmick, Im hoping to find something better, more reliable, from a reputable place too. Thanks for anything!Best colon cleansing method or products?
    There are several very good colon cleansers available from health food stores. They include but aren't limited to Ultimate Cleanse, Daily Cleanse, and one by Renew Life.





    Dr. Natura's also looks impressive.





    Good luck and be well.

    NO.


    ';it looks like a gimmick';


    It is. ALL ';colon cleansing'; is a gimmick.


    Your colon cleanses itself. Colon ';cleansing'; is unnecessary nonsense and has never been shown to have any beneficial effect. Save your money and avoid this scam. Don't be one of the gullible.
    google Stanley Burroughs ';Master Cleanse'; absolutely works. will change your life. and doesn't cost much. blessings.
    Senekot is good its an herbal laxative its not bad at all I use it once in a while. Prune juice is fantastical. Water lots and lots of water.
    beware of info mercials suggesting 25 pounds of waste may be lodged in your colon! Think about it! THere are many herbal pproducts and should cost more than 30-50 bucks. Nutrigenics and Biotics are two sources I have used. You may have to speak w a Chiropractor or Nutritionist to obtain them.and
    Go to Blessed herbs web site they sell are great colon cleasing

    Which kind of wipes would you recommend for cleansing?

    I don't wear any makeup so i don't need makeup remover or anything. but when i'm at school, i sometimes feel greasy and dirty. I have acne and scars. I don't know which gentle wipes is good enough to clean my face. I have oily and acne-prone skinWhich kind of wipes would you recommend for cleansing?
    Get some Clean and Clear oil absorbing wipes. You can get them at Wal-Mart for 5 bucks and they get all the oil off your face really well. They come in a small blue pack and should be in the acne isle.Which kind of wipes would you recommend for cleansing?
    biore really hellps that stuff.


    there called cleasing wipes and you can probably find them at walgreens or some sort of drugstore.
    What i suggest is just have a proper cleansing routine.


    Like, you could use normal dove sope, then use a toner, then moisturize(this is what i do).


    Also stop washing your face so much(if you do anyways).





    Trust me makes a big difference after a few days.


    A toner balances the ph levels of your skin. so after awhile(few days), your face shouldn't be so oily, then moisturize with a moisturizer with no oil in it(or a bit of olive oil). Your skin will over produce oils if your skin is too dry, and it will make your skin too oily and way more acne-prone. If you moisturize every time you wash your face, your skin will get used to it and won't over produce oils.





    Also it's good to exfoliate. The dead skin cells could be blocking your pores and making you a lot more acne prone. Plus if you exfoliate, you remove the dead skin cells and letting new skin grow.





    btw you don't have to spend a lot of money on cleansers, exfoliates, toners and all that. There are natural ingredients you can use.

    Do biore cleansing pore strips work?

    i haven't brought them yet but i am going to tomorrow, I've heard they're really good and have really good reviews but i don't want to spend 拢7.00 on them if they're not going to work.Do biore cleansing pore strips work?
    They are fab! I find that I only need to use them about once a month. The blackheads do start to come back, but slowly and it's usually a month before they get bad enough to warrant doing it again. Do biore cleansing pore strips work?
    They do a good job, actually. They're not painful at all, but when you're using them, be sure that you're not in an environment with a lot of humidity. It keeps them moist, and they won't dry, and when you pull them off all the substance will on the strip will stick to your nose.





    For the best results, you should use one every other day. Of course if you're pressed for money, space it out a bit.
    they work well for me, so hopefully they'd work well for you...i got them as an extra with a facewash and tried them out and they work, theyre just slightly painful.

  • Is fasting better than colon cleansing?

    I use to do juice fasts periodically (3,5, or 7days). I'm thinking about starting again, but Ive never done a colon cleanse from a store. Which is better? And Does either one help clear up acne?Is fasting better than colon cleansing?
    From experience I honestly suggest sticking to the juice fasts or doing your research on what to buy from a store and hearing results from other people because when I did natural juice fasts I felt great, healthy, energized, my skin did clear up, my hair got healthier. (I did a Japanese herb and other natural ingredients juice fast) I tried colon cleansing before and found out the stuff I was drinking wasn't even natural and it just made me sick thinking thats all I was drinking for days.


    Is fasting better than colon cleansing?
    I'm a great fan of fasting. I've done juice fasting and it was amazing how it got rid of my migraines, arthritis, etc.It must have cleared up a nasty build up of toxins and heavy metals. I've also done a complete water fast which i feel is even more effective, but must be done for a minimum of 48 hours. Colon cleansing I haven't tried, but I say do your research and go for it.As for acne,it can't hurt, but it wont' cure it since acne is a result of hormones. Products that contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol,and salicylic acid are your best bets,. If that doesnt't work find a MD to prescribe some Retin-A. And don't pick at it!
    In my experience I found colon cleanse to be more affective. I fast for a month and i lost less pounds than i did when i use the colon cleanse for a month
    i would colon cleans first and then fast





    :P





    ya it does help cuz it gets rid of toxins
