System/Colon Cleanse

Sarahcuda

I am a big believer in periodic fasting/ cleansing. (I know some people are very anti-cleanse and fast, this is not meant to draw a discussion on the pro's or con's of fasting and cleansing. I am NOT doing a fast/ cleanse for short term weight loss {just to clarify!})

I am curious if anyone has found a good 3-7 day colon/system cleanse to reset and detox. I love doing low carb but have not found any low carb cleanses. I do not eat organic as frequently as I would like (tight budget) so I want to do a detox to cleanse some of the toxins from my body.

If anyone has had any experience with a good cleanse please share!

(I have done the master cleanse previously, but didn't feel it "cleansed" well enough. I also did a 5 day supplement/juice cleanse over a year ago... it worked pretty well and seemed to detox but I dread the idea of all the sugar in the juice!!!)

Thanks!

Good, because there are no "pros"

If i want a good deep cleanse, these will make me clear my bowels and also make my soul feel refreshed and a little bit violated.

I feel a certain, subtle, anti-cleanse sentiment here....hmmm.

I highly recommend a good dose of castor oil and a garden hose.

You have a functioning body correct? That's all you need to cleanse. Our body is a wonderful machine and does a great job at cleansing itself when you eat right, drink water, etc. THe hype of the body building up toxins is a load of crap and an idea made up by the drug companies wanting people to spend money on their "cleanses" which are basically expensive laxatives.

All the joking aside, since the majority of people and the entire medical profession think that cleanses are unnecessary at best, and dangerous at the worst... have you considered counselling?

Taco Helllllll!!!!! LOL

McNasty always does wonders for a good detox. Only cost me $5.85 too. (I went cold turkey on McNasty effective Jun 3 and never had another meal from that place again.)

Eat right, drink water, stay away from tobacco and booze. There's the perfect 'cleanse'.

Hi Sara, I have tried different fasting and detox options over the years and have educated myself as I went along. I have done colon cleanse, water fast, juice fast, and Daniel Fast. There are pro's and con's as you know.

Several month ago I discovered this website (see link below) that has a lot of great advice (articles, free podcasts) from reliable source. B. Richards explains and makes point why slow process is better than 3-10 day fast diarrhea approach.
I got and currently am taking these 3 supplements, one is Fiber Helper which helps with what you are looking for, but nothing as drastic as colon cleanse program.
-- Daily Balancer protects your liver and provides nutrients that help to clear a wide variety of common metabolic waste products as well as pollution and toxic metals like mercury.*
-- Immune Plus naturally activates macrophages in your lymph system to enhance your own housecleaning operation.*
-- Fiber Helper superior forms of soluble fiber that mix easily, have a pleasant taste (not sweetened at all), are not gas forming, and help absorb toxins in your GI tract for easy elimination.*

I fast once a week. I gradually worked my way up from not eating from Monday at 6 p.m. to Tuesday morning to all the way from Sunday night till Tuesday morning. I started after I had a colonoscopy in early summer and had to prepare for it with a fast the day before. I am not aware of the 'cleansing' benefits. I do it mostly because once a week I am free to 'not eat'. I don't have all the symptoms others seem to have - headaches, growling tummy, etc. Instead I find a good dose of peace and quiet with restful sleep. Whether this is all in my head or not, I find my body has a chance to repair without having to work on breaking food down.

The trick to it is not to eat a lot before or after. And the bigger trick is to do what feels right. Would I recommend it to anyone? Never. Fasting IMO is a very personal matter and definitely not for everyone. And I quite agree that there are no medical benefits in regards to cleansing. The body does a fine job of cleansing itself without outside stimulants or deprivation. .

Hope this helps.

WOW! Its astounding how rude majority of you are.

OP, sadly I don't think there is such a cleanse. You seem to be doing good with the low carb part.

I love the advocare 10 day cleanse. I can give you more information about it if you would like.

I did the mean green "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" Juice fast for two weeks. I felt great, lost weight, and it did clear me out (If you know what I mean.) That's how I lost the first 12 lbs of my weight loss journey thus far. (Down 62 now! woohoo!)

It was recommended by my nutritionist and my doctor. Nobody gets rich in the process because you make it yourself with fruits and veggies.

I also love how nobody else has seemed to answer her question and has still made this thread about arguing over fasts and cleanses in general. If you come across a thread that specifically says it doesn't want the typical fasting argument in it, and the typical fasting argument is all you can think of to say, feel free to just shut up.

reset what exactly?

detox what exactly?

RVfrog

that is not the way to lose weight unless you are full of it....just eat healthy ..

longtimeterp

well i ate 4 lbs of edamame over a 48hr pd...got really backed up but i could feel it move through for the next three days taking everything along my digestive track with it..when everything started leaving i felt incredible...and it was funny to watch my weight go up by like 5 lbs as i held everything in but the best was i stayed so full that i ate so little i dropped by 11lbs in the next few days once i cleaned up...dont know if i would ever recomend this, but it worked GREAT accidentally for me

I hope you get an answer to these questions. I'm especially interested in what toxins are eliminated. Have yet to ever see an answer to this one.

Cranktastic

meh.

bpotts44

I recommend you find the detox/cleanse that costs the most money and go with that. It is probably the best.

There was really no need for the thread to continue after the above post.

When you speak of the entire medical profession you must be speaking of Western medicine (which I put very little faith in.) Most Eastern philosophies believe and encourage the occasional fast/cleanse. I would much rather treat the problem than deal with the symptoms. : )
