As a disclaimer, I am not a doctor or medical expert and in no way am I suggesting that anyone reading this should self-diagnose or start a detox program on their own without first consulting their doctor or medical practitioner.
The following is meant for information purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or recommend treatment to anyone. You should use caution when embarking upon any diet change, cleansing or detoxification program and you do so at your own risk.
With that said, the following is just my personal experience and recommendations of others who have dealt with the subject of detox and body cleansing. As a matter of fact, many thousands and perhaps millions of people before you have successfully rid themselves of harmful toxins and helped them improve their health through a proper detox.
The method of ridding the body of toxins and waste is known as a detox or detoxification. There are many different kinds of detox programs and some of them target specific organs such as the liver or the gall bladder.
A cleansing body detox is a great way to feel better and more rejuvenated. You can feel more energy, lose weight and cleanse the tissues and organs as well as give your digestive system a cleansing.
One of the most well known detoxing methods is the master cleanse otherwise known as the lemonade diet. It is basically a 10 day fasting during which you drink only fresh water with lemon juice, a small amount of pure maple syrup and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Many people have enjoyed the benefits of such a cleanse and you can too, provided you make sure you have checked with your physician or doctor to see if you have any precautions in doing so.
The health benefits are tremendous as you can rid the body of accumulated waste from the tissues and organs as well as the blood stream. We are bombarding our bodies with sugar, fats, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and other harmful chemicals and products. Even if we do not drink alcohol or smoke, we are eating foods which might be de-natured or filled with fats and sugars and need to go on a fasting diet or a cleansing diet to get rid of some of these destructive elements.
Then there is the traditional juice fasting which has been done by many thousands of people to help cleanse and rejuvenate the body. Fresh vegetables and fruits are juiced in a juicer which separates the juice from the pulp and cellulose. A typical juice might be made from greens such as kale, spinach and parsley and a hand full of sprouts along with maybe a lemon and some ginger for punch. The lemon makes the juice even healthier and the ginger is anti viral and has healing properties as well.
But aside from maybe adding an apple or pear to a vegetable juice, keep the fruits and vegetables separate when making juices. Avoid the citrus juices and fruits.
A water fast is just fasting with only water being drunk. This allows for a real rest of the digestive system allowing for more toxins to be eliminated.
If you can, make sure to take a sauna, as a good sweat will help cleanse the skin and pores as well as get those toxins out of the body.
Some homeopathic and naturopathic physicians recommend detox kits with drops that you can take that help cleanse and eliminate toxins. Even women can notice that their cellulite starts to disappear when they clean out the toxic materials from their body systems.

I don’t think it is necessary. But I think it can be helpful in a minor way. When we are young our bodies work very well. I think with just a simple good diet with plenty of vegetables and fruit our colon does well on its own. A person can work an enema bag at home and have some good benefits without the cost of an expensive colonic. I never did one of the colon cleanses that are taken orally. I did have colonic irrigation’s though. I did them once per day for three days in a row. My reason for doing it was constipation. It was very severe in my transverse colon. I grew up having a good diet but as I got lazy with my diet constipation sneaked up on me.
I was so very uncomfortable that I drove an hour for the treatments. I did have a feeling of well being and exhilaration after. I paid $50 for each visit. They cost more like $75 each now. After the therapy the therapist said I should work the enemas at home once per week.
I wanted to see if the colonics really worked and if my colon was filled with old material like people claim so I fasted before having the second treatment. The therapist said she was surprised how little came out. I didn’t admit that I didn’t eat. I wasn’t even hungry after my first treatment and felt really good. So that little test told me that my prior good diet and having home enemas kept my colon pretty clean and nothing major was stored up like people claim.
The bloated feeling really comes from poor eating and the sluggish bowels that result from the improper diet. The colonic really did make me feel so much more comfortable.
Many medical people think colonic are snake oil medicine. But I think they would be a great benefit for people in the hospital that are unable to move out of the bed for many months thus they have problems with bowel movements.
I think the biggest benefit for healthy people would be to empty the colon after they let their diet become so poor that they feel sluggish or constipated. A person can cleanse the whole colon at home with an enema bag but it can be uncomfortable and cause some cramping where a colonic is very comfortable. It really is soothing.
There can be some irriation from the nozzle when you do colonics two days or more in a row.
Many people feel better all over, as well as lighter and more comfortable so a colonic does seem like a great kick-start to a new diet.
Some sites claim a colonic can help with:
Allergies and intolerances
Irritable bowel syndrome IBS
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Flatulence
Bloating
Skin problems
Headaches
Candida (thrush / yeast infections)
I don’t know if they have any proof but I felt better. You simply look up colonic irrigation in the yellow pages and call for pricing and ask about their procedure. They might even have a website. I don’t see it as something to do on a regular basis but maybe once or twice per year at most. Then maybe only when you get sloppy with your diet and feel very sluggish.
Really though if we just start increasing the fruits and vegetable and drink enough water we will be clean as a whistle.
There are no scientific benefits to a colon cleanse, and they are expensive….$75-90 per visit….and you go every week. Eat more fiber and you’ll do so much better.
I would recommend i Diet & Fitness. They have two types of cleansing diets. They have a cleansing diet that cleanses your entire body without buying a colon cleanser if you can’t afford them. And they have one that you can use with a colon cleanser. I used their cleansing diet along with a good colon cleanser and it worked out very well. Plus you lose a lot of weight. All the things you have listed is true. Colon cleansing is a very important part of living a healthy lifestyle. Plus, you wouldn’t believe what comes out of your body when you cleanse it!
there is an informational page on the net about colon cleanse, cleaning out your colon does have health benefits. The page is http://www.thedetoxtea.com
Colon cleanses do not need to be expensive.
