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.

The prep for a colonoscopy is the worst part of the whole thing. You’ll be asked to drink or take in pill form an over the counter laxative. Make sure you are at home when you start this prep because you’ll spend most of the afternoon/evening in the bathroom! That’s the worst part. Mine was done under IV sedation so I didn’t have to be completely knocked out, but they gave me enough sedation that I did not wake up during the procedure, nor do I remember anything after I went out for my "nap". =) I was afraid my bum would hurt the next day but it didn’t hurt at all and they even found a polyp and removed it. Like I said, the worst part is the prep. Make sure you continue to drink clear liquids as long as you can so you stay hydrated. Good luck =)
Nothing to it. it’s the prep that’s the worst. The prep cleans colon so they can cam it and see wots there and wots not. Don’t be scared there’s nottin to it. Good Luk
its normal to feel anxiety before any nedical procedures especially if its your first time to undergo it. coloscopy preparations usually is ordered eight hours before the procedure, you wontbe able to eat 8 hours before, your colon would be cleanse with enema, or laxative to cleanse the colon for maximum visualization of it. why dont u ask your doctor to let u see the machine and explain how it is done, so that at least ur anxiety will be lessened. you will remove all your jewelries and dentures, becuase it may cause aspiration during the procedure. Having informations like that will surely lessened ur concerns. then on the day of the procedure, u will be given topical anesthesia to numb your oral cavity for easy insertion of the tube and will directly visualize you gastric and colon system. its just a short procedure, depending on what part and what type of colonscopy the doctor will performed on to you. then after the procedure, you will be not allowed to eat because it may cause aspiration, since ur gag reflex is inhibited by the anesthesia. it may takes 2-3 hours before the gag reflex returns. then you can already drink or eat. my mothe had it last year due to her gastritis, i was there and able to witness the procedure. its a non painful procedure. and it just took few minutes to perform. be sure you have someone like a relative or a friend with you, for emotional support and to reassure you that its gonna be okay. if you still have worries or questions, talk to your doctor, he or she will surely willing to explain your concerns.
