Avatar f tn There are liver cleanses, colon cleanses, kidney cleanses -- they can be very good for health, but not very useful for losing weight in a healthy fashion because the weight will just come back as soon as you return to your normal way of eating. The only way to lose weight long-term is to change your metabolism, which doesn't involve calories as much as it involves what you eat and how quickly it turns into sugar and how easily it moves through your digestive system.
Avatar m tn just a question, I was at GNC today and saw a product for colon or gastro cleansing. Has anyone used these, does it work and is it healty?
Avatar n tn If colon cleansing was beneficial, why wouldn’t our doctors order them?
5766249 tn?1375776295 Here I would like to know some diet tips which are helpful for avoiding colon problems. When a person is in diet for weight loss what kind of foods a victim need to take to get rid of the colon issues. Are those foods show their effect in weight weight loss journey? Please let me know.
1454383 tn?1288947277 If this is the Natural Clean I'm thinking of, it's for cleaning drugs out of your system to pass a drug test, not a colon cleanser. Maximum burn is a scam -- acai berry is, like all berries, high in antioxidants, but it won't help you lose weight. Real colon cleansers are based on fiber such as psyllium and some have laxatives in them, which aren't healthy, such as diet teas.
Avatar f tn A cleansing diet is different from taking a supplement, which is what you're doing by drinking apple cider vinegar. People have claimed all kinds of benefits from organic apple cider vinegar with the mother included in the product; the ultimate believer that this cured everything is Dr. Bragg, who probably isn't actually a doctor, but who knows? It does do some great things for people, and harmful things to others; it depends on how people react to acidity.
Avatar f tn There is nothing magical about Greek yoghurt -- it's just yoghurt with much of the liquid removed, making it higher in protein and thicker. But Greeks don't sit around eating this yoghurt, which is prevalent in the Mediterranean region, they mostly use it as a dipping condiment or for cooking. Dairy can also be problematic, as it is rich in calcium but very low in magnesium, so if you overdo it you will leach the magnesium out of your system.
Avatar n tn No scientific evidence supports the alleged benefits of colon cleansing. The bowel itself is not dirty and barring drugs or disease, cleans itself naturally without need for assistance. Some types of colon cleansing present potential hazards also. I would suggest a gastroenterologist’s consultation and getting evaluated for different possibilities.Various other causes that need to be ruled out are over-use of stimulant laxatives (e.g.
Avatar f tn No, not just for a colonoscopy. The colon cleansing done for a colonoscopy is very quick acting and very strong pharmaceutical products, not what is used in natural colon cleansing, which takes longer and is usually much gentler. If it works too quickly, yes, you'll get dehydrated, but colon cleansing does help rid the body of toxins that stick to the walls of the digestive system. One way to do this is to fast; no food in, food out.
Avatar f tn Fasting is not generally a good weight loss or any other weight related strategy. It's generally used for cleansing toxins out of the system. Many people will fast a day a week, or a day a month, but the reason is for health, not for weight purposes, as your metabolism will just go right back to normal just as it would after a one or two day binge such as at Thanksgiving. At least this is how the people I know who fast do it and why.
Avatar f tn This should go without saying, but animal products, whether meat or dairy, in general, are packed with fat, hormones, chemicals, cholesterol, salt, and other things that contradict weight loss and a healthy detox. One of the biggest benefits of a detox is reduction of bloating. Animals products directly cause bloating since they have salt, fats, and lactose that can fill your stomach with gas. The types of products that are NOT vegan include those with whey protein, eggs, honey, milk, or meat.
Avatar n tn I'm on week 31 of tx. The HepC is no longer active and I only have 17 weeks remaining on the program. The results are very positive. However, I still suffer from all the major side effects and had to go on leave to try and just focus on my health. The most important one to me has been my weight loss. Since the beginning, 03/09, I've lost 60 lbs and am still loosing. My appetite has been little to none, but I am attempting to change that.
Avatar f tn I am just worried, because basically the only thing that I do not have in terms of polyps is bloody stools, and the only thing aside from that for cancer is weight loss, and I am sure that if I continue to not eat enough, I will lose weight..
Avatar f tn This is going to be late for you, but you should never take liver cleansers while taking medication. What you're describing is a combination colon/liver cleanse. Milk thistle and yellowdock, for example, are liver cleansers, and could theoretically wash some of the medication out of our system, as the body sees virtually all medication as toxic.
189269 tn?1189755825 CAC liquid is a blood, colon and liver cleanser and detoxifier that serves to regulate the bowel movements. Use of this cleansing liquid has many additional benefits: Cleans the liver and colon, purifys the blood, kills parasites, strengthens immunity, improves overall digestion, strengthens the immune system, makes the skin more emollient and flexible, clears the eyes, tones the digestive system and provides an overall tonic effect on the body. This is not habit-forming.
Avatar f tn I have had trouble maintaining my weight since menopause. I lose weight very easily now. Over the last couple of years I have had a CT, MRI, and all sorts of bloodwork. My doctor is convinced it is just one of those things. Said she has a handful of patients that have the same thing after menopause. I take effexor for hot flashes, cholesterol medication and advair. I can't imagine any of them making me lose weight so easily. I was never heavy, but watched what I ate.
Avatar n tn There are many causes like worms in stool, depression, anorexia nervosa, AIDS, cancers especially colon cancers, drug abuse, infections and loss of appetite. Loss of appetite can again be due to certain medications, drug abuse, depression, AIDS, acute and chronic infections, cancers and hypothyroidism. Either you do not eat well or there is increased metabolism as in hyperthyroid states, HIV, cancer etc.
Avatar n tn About a year ago, one night I was having a headache and nausea so I just went to bed. When I woke up, headache and nausea were gone but every time I had a meal, five minutes later I had an explosive bowel movement. That went on for 4-5 days. After that, I started losing weight. I've lost 50lbs in 6 months. I am a male, 5'10. I went from 185lbs to 135lbs. I have been eating well but no matter how much I eat, there's always hunger.

There is a FAQ page on the site that answers the majority of questions regarding the cleanse if you would like to inquire further. Anyway, I hope you find a cure, whether it be this program or not (although I personally recommend it), and the link is posted below. See ya! drnatura.

Avatar n tn If you would like to try Acai berry, you can get it at your pharmacy for around 8.99 or your local health food store. However, do not depend on it for weight loss. It does have antioxidents and I found it to give me a little pep, but that is all. The colon clense, well lets just say it's another word for laxative. It's okay to cleanse your colon once in awhile, but doing it everyday, I would check with your doctor.
