Nobody wants to talk, or if they can help it, think about colon cleansing. This despite the fact that we all know the tortures of constipation and/or diarrhea.
But, disgusting though we might think it is, we cannot ignore the benefits of colon cleansing, which are numerous and which most of us are unaware of. Several health-related issues are related to this topic, and, where these issues are concerned, colonic cleansing is, perhaps, one of the best solutions.
The first of these benefits is that colon cleansing, or colonic irrigation as it is also known, reduces constipation. People who are deprived of essential nutrients, or have a poor diet, often also suffer from constipation.
The intestinal walls of these people become lined with a plaque-like substance, which, evidently, does not aid good health. Colon cleansing not only strips away this substance, but also allows the stool to move more freely.
Another noticeable advantage is the elimination of diarrhea, which is a condition normally caused by the presence of toxins in the digestive system, and can cause problems for the formation of solid stool.
However, anyone who goes through the admittedly-arduous process of colon cleansing, he/she can be sure that his/her diarrhea problems shall be removed by it, and his/her bowel movements will become more regular and the contents thereof, more solid.
Perhaps the most important benefit of colon cleansing is that it helps one avoid colon cancer. If a person’s family has a history of colon cancer then that person should undergo a routine colonic cleansing at least once a year, as this serves as an excellent preventative measure against colon cancer by keeping bowel movements running smoothly.
The fourth important benefit of colon cleansing is that it often results in significant weight loss. Many people lose large amounts of weight after colon cleansing. While the colon weighs around four pounds, it’s hardly unusual for the cleansing process to flush away as much as ten-thirty pounds of stagnant fecal matter.
Some additional benefits of colonic cleansing are better skin, increased energy levels, overall feeling of health, and increased and better absorption of vitamins and minerals from food. Increased immunity and resistance to diseases is also noted.
Safe natural and herbal cleansers are available in the market that make colon cleansing a simple, inexpensive process. In fact, cleansing one’s colon has never been easier.
Other methods that can be utilized for colon cleansing are laxatives, colon hydrotherapy, colonic fasting diets, etc. Oxygen based cleansers which provide an extremely fast and effective method of colon cleansing and maximize the benefits of it are also available.
Some other benefits of colon cleansing are that it results in increased immunity and greater resistance to disease.
Many people who undergo this process lose weight due to better digestion and a lower rate of water and waste retention. These are merely some of the many benefits of colonic cleansing. A regime of regular colonic cleansing is sure to boost your overall sense of well-being.

Detox or Starvation?
The detox diet has come under harsh scrutiny over the past few months. There are ample claims that the only weight lost is the water weight form the initial fast and the natural weight loss occurs from cutting caloric intake. The detox diet is quite restrictive, to the point where some people are calling it a starvation diet. There have been countless articles written by “experts” that state that the detox diet endangers people, stating that it creates yo-yo dieting, an unhealthy relationship with food, and even can contribute to the development of an eating disorder.
We also know that the vast majority of the “experts” who write these articles are those in the health and weight loss industry, such as nutritionists, health program supervisors, weight loss counselors, and lay people with an extreme interest in health and fitness. While I am certainly not suggesting that anyone is fabricating evidence or creating thought processes that are not accurate, I am however, indicating that when a person is educated to see things in one specific manner, it can be very difficult for them to see the same principles in a varying manner. For example, if a dietician goes to college and is taught that green beans cause cancer, that dietician will graduate believing that green beans cause cancer. If the same dietician returns for occasional classes to keep her education current, and over the course of the next ten years, the dietician is once again taught that green beans cause cancer, then the dietician will continue to believe this and teach her clients this as well. Fifteen years later someone comes along and points out to the dietician that green beans don’t cause cancer, how likely is the dietician to believe that green beans don’t cause cancer?
This phenomenon is not solely related to dieticians and health related fields. This phenomenon actual relates to every field. As a writer I was taught that you never speak in double negatives. It’s a basic principle I apply every day. If someone tried to convince me that the rules had suddenly changed, right or wrong, it has already been ingrained in me that double negatives are inappropriate and you shouldn’t use them. Thus, if I criticize this new theory without completely re-educating myself on the basic rules of English and grammar, then I am relying solely on my previous knowledge to dispute this issue.
So let’s break away from conventional dieticians and explore the detox diet with a completely blank slate. I am not a dietician. I am just a writer is interested to know whether the detox diet is a healthy form of purification, or if it is a hidden form of starvation that does nothing but allow some water weight loss and makes you believe you are healthier. I have assembled three people who have done the detox diet and three who have not. Granted, this is not a huge percentage to pull from, but I am not using them as test subjects, only to ask them to verify or deny detox diet statements that are made from both testimonials from detox dieters and criticism from dieticians.
Fasting and Purity
For centuries people have fasted for purity. If we look back through even ancient texts, we will find that the fasting was not for spiritual purity alone, but for physical purity as well. Fasting for purity often left the spiritual seeker feeling initially drained and then once again reenergized within a thirty six hour period. The purity that they felt within their spirits was also a purity that they felt through their body. This argument can be easily criticized that they felt their body’s purity because of their spiritual lifting. All three detox dieters, who were not in search of spiritual enlightenment, all agreed that they felt weak from the initial starvation, but began to feel “clearer,” before the end of the second day. None of them agreed that they were experiencing starvation. They all felt their fasting led to at least some form of physical purity.
In medical science, there are times when doctors recommend fasting. Not including pre surgical procedures, most fasting requirements are for some form of “readying” or purity. Prior to starting diets that treat illnesses, such as the ketogenic diet, there is a period of fasting required beforehand.
Critics of the detox diet claim that the headaches and general all over yucky feeling people experience in the first week of a detox diet is from a lack of food. However, champions of the detox diet say that the headaches and the generally “yucky” feeling they get when fasting coincides with a noticeable change in their excretions. My three detox dieters all agreed that when their urine and bowel movements became noticeably more “aromatic” they found themselves with headaches and a feeling of overall fatigue. They did not contribute this feeling to fasting.
I did an online search and found eleven dieticians that negated the detox diet. Each one of them claimed that the headaches were from the fasting, however, each of them offered their own version of the detox diet. Interesting. The dieticians’ versions included what could almost be considered fasting. Their idea of not fasting was eating some fruit and yogurt. Most detox diets do not include a total fasting period.
The critics of the detox diet are not impressed with the detox diet weight loss. They claim that the detox diet weight loss comes from the loss of water weight during the fasting period and will be regained quickly when normal eating is resumed. The detox diet weight loss comes from various sources. If you are doing a complete detoxification, including the colon, all three of my detox dieters claim that you can see where some of the weight loss comes from as you are flushing it down the toilet. Two of my detox dieters had to call plumbers from the excessive waste they produced. Their detox diet weight loss has remained, and two of them started the detox diet more than six months prior to this writing. Detox diet weight loss remained in all three of my dieters because they make better choices. They resumed normal eating habits, but they did not return to ingesting large amounts of junk foods. They claim that the detox diet showed them how important maintaining a low toxic level was to their overall health.
Just Another Diet Trend?
The critics of the detox diet claim that this diet trend, like all those that came before it, is no more effective than anything else that has been put out there. Whenever a new diet trend comes along, people rush to participate, and then claim that it doesn’t work. Not all diets will work for everyone. I tried the Atkins diet for awhile with little or no results, but a man I knew lost nearly thirty pounds on it. However Atkins doesn’t work very well for people who are not significantly overweight, according to some critics and apparently my body. So, does that mean that the detox diet is more than just another diet trend, or will it fall to the wayside after a bit like every other diet trend. Of my detox dieters, 2 out of three say it’s not a diet trend. It is a method of cleansing the body, which other diet trends simply don’t do. The 3rd dieter says it is a diet trend, but a highly effective diet trend, and if a diet trend is effective then who cares if it’s a trend? Interesting point.
Diet trend and fads usually don’t carry much weight behind their claims. They are simply a theory produced to suggest that the latest Diet trend is the most effective weight loss plan and everyone needs to jump on board before their obesity claims them forever. The detox diet has a different aim, so I really poked around when trying to determine if this was simply just a diet trend or more of a health revolution.
There is overwhelming evidence that Americans and Canadians are in the poorest health overall, considering the health care we have available. The healthcare we have at our fingertips should make us one of the healthiest nations in the world, but we rank very low on the list. Most doctors and scientists contribute this to the foods we put into our body and the chemicals we come in contact with when eating, working, and playing. For the health choices that we have available to us, we have one of the highest rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and childhood cancer rates in the world. Of course, we also rank ridiculously high on the list for overweight and obese citizens.
The detox diet is concerned with addressing the overall health of Americans, not just their waistline. The diet trends that have come along have been concerned with treating the waistline issues, but not the overall health. So, is the detox diet just another diet trend? By technical definition, a diet trend meaning any new method of eating introduced into society that creates a sudden onslaught of followers, well then yes. However, it can’t be considered a diet trend by any other definition. It was simply not developed for the same reasons or the same fashion that diet trends hit the market.
Thin people can benefit from the detox diet. Overweight people can benefit from the detox diet. Everyone in between can benefit from the detox diet. The detox diet isn’t targeted for weight loss. Thus it is really about a healthier lifestyle. Detox dieting is geared toward permanent health. After a significant purge of the body’s chemical and toxic build up, the detox diet is geared to long lasting non-toxic lifestyles rather than diet trends, which tend to be geared toward lifestyles that manage weight.

Not all of the side effects you may get from a colon cleanse are bad. In fact, some of them are the reason that many people choose to perform a colon cleanse on themselves in the first place. One of the most desirable of these colon cleanse side effects is weight loss. Some people claim it is not unusual to lose as much as twenty-five pounds from doing one colon cleanse!
Another good side effect is the loss of symptoms you were suffering before you decided to try colon cleansing as a way to improve your health. Headaches, malaise, aches and pains, bad skin, and lack of energy are a few of the many symptoms associated with a toxic colon. Eliminating these symptoms are side effects of a colon cleanse to get rid of waste that is trapped in the colon. You may experience improved health all over your body as a result.
Bad Colon Cleanse Side Effects
Of course, there can’t be only good side effects from a colon cleanse. Any time you interrupt your body’s natural processes to take matters into your own hands, there is some risk. Fiber and herbs with natural laxative properties not only cause frequent and unpredictable bowel movements, but may also cause cramping, nausea, and bloating. Access to a bathroom is necessary throughout your cleansing and the less you have to tend to during a colon cleanse, the less inconvenient the side effects will be to you.
There is more danger of colon cleanse side effects when the process is used for extended periods of time or is repeated too frequently. Excessive flushing through the colon can weaken the walls and cause tearing or other damage. Loss of nutrients can lead to vitamin deficiency and dehydration can also be a concern.
Don’t let your desire for the good colon cleanse side effects make you more prone to the bad colon cleanse side effects. If you use a colon cleanse system, use common sense as well.
