Well, when I first ran across an ad for BlessedHerbs.com it made me curious about all this colon cleansing crap (pun intended). The pictures kinda freaked me out, but after reading all these posts I’m convinced that colon cleansing IS just another scam. I’m doing an experiment:
I’m going on a mostly liquid diet and adding a ton of extra fiber (FiberSure, made of vegetable inulin - is that anything like psyllium?) to everything I eat/drink. I’m hoping to find some of the scary crap like in the pictures, but I’m positive all it’s going to make me do is poop clean (yay less toilet paper!) and feel a little healthier. I’ll letcha all know how it turns out.
Peace.

People on here reporting that the mucoid rope is just “gum mixed with fiber” have no evidence to back up this claim.

I have been on the Colonix program for 34 days, and just began the Toxinout program. I am not here to sell any product, but I am here to say that saying Colon cleansing programs are a “scam” is irresponsible, and inaccurate.

One thing that the dr. natura company definitely addressed that is very important is that indeed, every person is different. Therefore, the prescribed plan must be tweaked for the individual. One person may need to take more fiber/steep the tea longer when another may steep the tea for a very short time and use less fiber. Their customer service is very caring and responds promptly and thoroughly to help the program work for the individual.

Doing this cleanse has completely changed my life for the better. Reporting that something is a scam with no hard evidence is irresponsible because people that may REALLY need help, and that a program like this could help are going by your OPINION, SKEPTICISM, AND SPECULATION on something.

Also, saying the human body was designed to eliminate all toxins is absolutely ridiculous. Most of the things in modern foods, non-organic vegetables (treated with pesticides), and all kinds of other things we put in our body didn’t even EXIST when the human body was designed. How are we to expect that our bodies were designed to process something that wasn’t even in existence. That’s just pure ignorance right there.

There are several products out there, and people on cleanses that do not include any type of fiber or gum ALSO have passed the rope. So saying it’s what’s in the mixture that makes that is WRONG!

From personal experience, there is NO WAY POSSIBLE that what is in these products is creating what is coming out of me. Especially the parasites. Worm eggs, candida yeast, liver flukes. I really do not think that any combination of herbs could “create” these.

I am no doctor, and I am no expert. But I can say 110% that colon cleansing is not a scam. My quality of life has improved ten-fold since I started this cleanse.

How dare you people post skeptical comments suggesting these things are scams, you are just trying to prevent people from doing something that could help them!

OK, so basically, the colon cleansing supplement thing is complete and total bullshit, yet people come here and say “oh hey! I shit like a champ and felt so much better after it was done!” Hey geniuses, your changes in shit patterns come from things like the FIBER IN THE PRODUCTS YOU ARE TAKING, you can get THAT result from any old kind of proper fiber supplement (I eat this wheat bread marked “double fiber” and shit like a champ!) The seaweed shit strings come from stuff like BENTONITE CLAY that you INGESTED ALONG WITH THE FIBER. People who have cut open and shoved scopes up intestines for years and years have confirmed that this “layer of built-up filth” does not exist at all.

YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO BECAUSE OF FIBER MAKING THE SHIT COME OUT EASIER. It’s no mystery. IT’S *NOT* THE COLON CLEANSE CRAP EXCLUSIVELY! Eat three bowls of brown rice and two tuna salad sandwiches with double fiber wheat bread and you’ll easily end up with the same effect: a nice big satisfying shit with little to no cleanup afterwards! You don’t need colon cleansing garbage to get such effects.

If you paid for a colon cleansing product, you’re pretty much a complete fool who fell for that shit because you didn’t research it properly first (lemme guess, you only read propaganda sites to make yourself feel good about the purchase before actually buying it, right? Shameful.)

One visit to Quackwatch and you’d know why this “colon cleansing” stuff works the way it does. IT CAUSES THE THINGS IT CLAIMS TO CURE.

I’m sorry, but you’re so fucking STUPID if you fell for it and paid for this shit. A can of Metamucil surely doesn’t even cost $10, and you paid 5-10 times that much. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now if you will excuse me, I have a nice big peanut log in my ass that I have to drop off. Do you realize how fucking GREAT my day is going to be knowing how much money I save by not being a FUCKING IDIOT like you colon cleanser purchasers all are?! HAHAHAHAHA! SEE YA, LOSERS!

I’m am just starting my second month on Colonix and I have a rather high opinion due to something of a miracle. I’m almost 36 and have been a Pepsi drinker since oh about 5 years of age. For the past couple years I had at least 2 bottles of pop per day, every day. I wolfed down candy and chocolate as if they were medicine. I’d joke about that. That I got no real enjoyment from eathing that shit. That’s I ate the stuff like a cancer patient taking chemotherapy.
Anyways, about two weeks after starting the Colonix, I realized that I had no craving for soft drinks anymore. I stood staring at the wall of cold drinks at 7-11 and couldn’t pick anything that I really wanted to drink. So I got some fruit-flavored water instead.
I’m not kidding about my dependence on pop. I was forever saying that there was nothing better than the first long pull on a freshly-opened bottle of Pepsi.
On the other hand, I have not seen any remarkable items being voided from my body. There’s lots more of it though. I now only need one or two wipes at the most and there’s no straining or blockages. My stomach is flatter than it was when I started. That may not be related but I haven’t been dieting with the stuff at all. Normal eating habits continued.
I also last longer during sex and have more energy too. Although that may be due to the sudden lack of pop in my diet.
Overall, though I haven’t (yet) expelled anything exactly like the images provided on their site, I am obviously more healthy and energetic than I was before I started the Colonix.

You just get to eat according to your bloodtype or even better according to your Genotype. The appropriate to your blood/geno type diet will take care of all the problems with health except of probably parasites, so you still will have have to do dewarming once in a while. Blood/Geno Type will activate your “positive” genes. Genetics is some serious stuff! I have been on a blood type A diet for about a year - result is outstanding in every area of my life!

I just looked at MDnaturas site and it makes me laugh that they try and make you believe that they are really giving you a huge deal. I love Dr.Natura and here is goes

You buy the Colonix package for $88.00 (it is $77.00 at mdnatura) then you can get a month of toxin out at 50% off SO you get the Probiotic, and the heavy metal removers and the toxin remover for only $44 additional dollars. Also, on orders of $60+ you get free shipping and you get it within 6 days.

BUT WAIT…

If you do not want to purchase the toxin out program you can order just the probiotics on the ‘products’ page at Dr.Naturas website and only pay $28 for just them.

Dr.Natura have THOUSANDS of testimonials and they have a money back promise, does MDNatura.com? NO, they DON’T. Personally, MDNatura rips you off more than anybody because they scammedall of dr.naturas stuff, take 11 dollers off the price and then label it as so much better than Dr.Naturas product.

Personally, I wouldn’t ever expect to get the products ordered from the mdnatura site, very unprofessional and just not very genuine.

When I was younger my mother - who is into a lot of holistic stuff - did give me a diet that ‘did’ remove large amounts of the black hard stuff and the ‘goo.’

I have nothing to sell, and don’t suggest that you buy anything. Felicia has the closest to what my mother used - but her program added cinnamon, peppermint, rhubarb, and alfalfa - lots of it. Mike Jones is also close. I remember the long ropes of ‘fibrous’ stool and it sounds like he might have the same system my mom uses.

I am going to journal a colon cleansing at my blog http://healthafter40.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-will-start-colon-cleansing-april-1.html

Feel free to drop by and follow the process. I will let everyone post your experiences, and what works and doesn’t work for you. I have also linked to this blog post.

I am currently on COLONIX & TOXIN and have been for at least 45 days. I too bought 60 day supply. I have found myself having BMs more frequently than what I was use to. But looking for the long unattractive sites in the bowl afterwards just discussed me. What I believe is happening, is that the fiber plus the tea are actually causing the frequency and not so solid waste release. I must admit I’ve seen the parasites but what was puzzling was the 5 day break. I didn’t have a BM for about 3 days and when I did it was normal stuff. I was only drinking the fiber with my juice in the morning and two liters of water everyday. I didn’t change my eating habits, except to eliminate beef only turkey or chicken, nothing fried and plenty of vegtables. But once I started back with the capsules, it started coming back out again 3 to 4 times a day. I think I’ll go by the health food store and look for some fiber the next time that’s not so pricie. Also, there has been no major weight loss, although they don’t claim that.

I have used some of these products with no real success to bragg about. But I do understand that according to the AMA that we need 25 grams of fiber a day but the average American gets only 7-10 grams per day. We also consume way to much processed flours that can slow down proper elimation. There is a product that I have tried and have had great success with it is marketed by DreamLife Products they have been in business for 12 years, so they are not fly by night, and have several products including Extreme Colon Cleanser and it is relatively affordable, about $12.95 plus shipping per bottle, I think the total is around $15.00 or you can buy by the case for around $7.00 per bottle. It has a blend of 23 fibers and softeners to assist with elimination but does not have a laxative effect. You just eliminate as you should. Not a miracle product just a good one with no overhyping.

Colonix defitnitely works. I’ve only been on it for 3 days and can’t stop raving about it. Yes, it is a little pricey but totally worth it. 88 bucks for a one month supply but only 189 for a 3 month supply. So, that’s, buy 2 months and get one free. On the amount of money we spend today buying fast food, cigarettes, alcohol, and other junk… is 66 bucks a month, that bad? Plus, once you’re done with the 3 months, you don’t need to detox for another 6-12 months, depending on your post detox lifestyle.

I’ve tried laxitives on 4 separate ocassions and found that each time was like peeing out of my arse. I eat very healthy, veggies are my fav and yet still can’t seem to eat enough fiber to have regualr bowel movements. I go once every 3 days. I can’t even imagine where 3 days worth of food goes? I’m a small frame, 5′4 and 110 lbs. Friends and family make fun and say I must have worms inside me because the food seems to disapper into thin air. I love being able to eat a lot and stay thin but I hated having to feel bloated and constipated and “full” all day. I’ve been on Colonix for 3 days and have gone each day. I’ve also seen the rope like stuff and if this looks the way it does because it’s mixed with fiber and gum, so be it. I’m just glad I have regular BMs.

For those skeptical about Colonix, it’s worth the try. I’m sure many of you, like myself have already wasted money on items that don’t work. This product comes with a 60 day money back guarantee… it’s worth a shot. Yes, not every product will work the same for each person, that’s just life. Not all sad things make people cry and not all good things make people happy. We’re all different so what I have to say may help and may not.. I’m really hoping it will though.

“If You Get A Chance Take it…If It Changes Your Life Let It. Nobody Said It Would Be Easy, They Just Promised It Would Be Worth It” (forgot the author but love this quote) =) Ok, yikes! Back to work, I already spent 30 minutes on this. Guess i’m staying in for lunch today. =P

Black Cumin Colon Cleanse Beats Dr Natura Colonix — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:40:11 +0000

Well, took the Dr Natura Colonix and told my doc about it. He said the robbery stuff I saw was the same as if I mixed chewing gum with fiber. I read the label;he was right. DrNatura contains both fiber and guar gum. He said flattery is best compliment, so if I feel better taking fiber and gum just make sure you get it at a good price so he referred me to http://www.mdnatura.com not drnatura. Well what do you know that Black Cumin Colon Cleanse had the same ingredients as Dr Natura cleanser. The Black Cumin colon cleanse also came with free $28 Probiotics like the one Dr Natura want you to pay $88 more to buy as part of their toxinout kit. I told my doc about it and said that the Natura people are smart, because the Probiotics should be included with the colon kit but instead the choose to give you with liver/kidney cleanse. He said stick with Black Cumin colon cleanse because the package make more sense since it contains probiotics. He was also more comfortable with the http://www.mdNatura.com Black Cumin colon cleanse since it was designed by Medical doctor and did not have those weird pics. Look at it this way you want your surgeon to get the job done not tell you that he will have tear you open resulting in gushing blood, pain nd infections. You want to do the job right and that is what Black Cumin colon cleanse did for me without all the hype. Bye I’m on day 9 of my Black Cumin cleanse I going to take my probiotics now.
P.S. Dr Oz on Oprah recommends Acai an amazion superfood to promote longevity;The Black Cumin colon cleanse package also comes with this life giving formula

Hey people I never realised we could find so much to say about crap. And the end result is people seem divided on the subject. Personally i’m just loving the dialogue that’s taking place. I have to say i’m no closer to making my mind up about this whole colon cleanse thing
