Is it possible? I read somewhere that colon cleansing helps over-weight people shed atleast 30-80 lbs. Is this type of information true?

No, this is not true. The weight you lose will be the same weight you’d be releasing by defecating. It’s not your fat and it won’t help your waist line. It’ll be no more than a pound or two AT MOST of feces that you’d be flushing down the toilet anyway.
Some other myths about this:
Colon cleansing will eliminate toxins and impurities that are built up in your intestines. FALSE! Your body uses the liver to remove toxins from your body, not the intestines. If you were constantly constipated, however, there could be a high buildup of bacteria.
Colon cleansing clears feces from the pockets of your colon.
FALSE! There are no pockets in your intestines or colon. It’s one long path that makes a lot of turns but does not branch off into ‘pockets’ at any point.
Nope…not true at all!! You MIGHT loose a pound or two.
yes!!! i done it and i lost 15 pounds in 7 days
no maybe 5
Wow! You’d really have to be constipated for that to work!
Generally, no. I listened to a doctor address this issue. It is a scam!
If you watch Oprah, you should know immediately that this is a myth. It will shed a minute ammount (1-15 lbs.) and you will be out quite a bit of money. Definitely not worth the discomfort.
yes it does help with lighting the load.. but remember we have our intentines full of sh–. So, this is only a temporary situation. It does give you more energy and does take a few pounds off.. But its not the solution to losing weight..
Less than 10 pounds max.
You won’t lose that much weight. Maybe a few pounds. What happens is you are just cleaning out the intestines and just getting rid of the stuff inside so yea you are going to lose a little something but not that much to make a difference like that.
No not at all need more info go to a reputable website webmd.com they will give you more info you can lose a litlle bit of weight but not much only 1-2 pounds.
do you believe thise stuff. the best way to shed pounds is to excerise and eat health and drink a lot of water
There is a man on one of those infomercials touting colon cleansing as the end all cure of many ailments. He does speak a lot of the benefits to overweight people. He mentioned John Wayne, the Duke, who’s autopsy showed him to have nearly 60 pounds of waste in his colon.
Besides makes sense.
Wow. How in the hell do you think the human body can hold 80 pounds of feces? You must be a child.
No, thats quite over exaggerated. The average person does, however, have between 2 and 20 pounds of hard, dried out fecal material lining their colon, so it should help remove some of that. Also look at oxy-powder on google. Does a better job, over 4 days, with no pipe in the b utt. LOTS of toilet trips in that time though.
90% of the immune system is in the stomach. Also, so is the BAD stuff – candida albicans. Enemas, in conjunction with a good probiotic like kefir, can bring the candida balance back to normal.
Further, allopathic medicine (western medicine) is not the be all and end all. No substitute for it with regards to bone setting, life or death surgery or diagnosis. But taking drugs – effectively poisons, isnt the best way of treating disease. There are, in my opinion, better alternatives.
YES, COLON CLEANSING CAN HELP REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT. BUT, I WOULDN’T RECCOMEND IT! I HEARD SOME BAD STUFF ABOUT THIS NEW FAD! I’D ASK YOUR DOCTOR,BEFORE YOU TRY THIS!
1-3 lbs. princess diane had them once a week with white wine it cuts thru fat and gets you a good relaxing buzz your bum will absorb alot . but it is very healthy and you feel good.
I think that’s an exaggeration. I shudder at the idea of frequent enemas as a weight loss regimen. There is no scientific evidence to prove its efficacy nor benefit to overall hygiene.
Try a high fiber diet but beware of initial osmotic "disruption" in your lower GI.
BE CAREFUL YOU DON’T WANT TO LOOSE TOO MUCH
WEIGHT AT ONE TIME . YOU CAN GO INTO "CARDIAC ARREST". YOU DIDN’T GAIN IT OVERNIGHT AND YOU WON’T LOOSE IT OVERNIGHT.
COLON CLEANSE IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU NEED THE COLON CLEANED OF IMPURITIES THAT CAN CAUSE
CANCER. IT’S LIKE FLUSHING OUT YOUR KITCHEN SINK
TO MAKE IT WORK BETTER.
IF YOU HAVE A "GENERAL NUTRITION CENTER" GO THERE AND GET "COLON CLEANSE ALL NATURAL"
BY HEALTH PLUS INC.
I HAVE A SENSITIVE STOMACH AND IT DID NOT CAUSE
ANY REACTIONS.
IT’S "NATURAL PSALM FIBER. 200 CAPSULES.
DO IT ABOUT EVERY 3 OR 4 MONTHS.
THE DOSAGE WILL BE LESS AS YOU CONTINUE TO CLEAN YOURSELF OUT.
DON’T PANIC IF YOU SEE A LOT IN THE TOILET THE
FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES-IT’S JUST GETTING OUT.
YOU CAN ALSO TAKE A "COFFEE ENEMA" FROM TIME TO TIME TO CLEAN THE OTHER AREA TO LOOSE WEIGHT.
JUST BOIL THE COFFEE-LET IT COOL-PUT IT IN HOT WATER BOTTLE(AT ROOM OR FINGER TEMP OR COLD)
AND IT’S A NATURAL WAY TO CLEAN AND LOOSE.
NO MATTER WHAT DO IT NATURALLY-WATCH WHAT
YOU EAT(SMALL MEALS) SMALL PORTIONS ON PLATE
AND YOU’LL SEE A HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS.
GOOD LUCK!
A colon cleanse only will not help you lose 30-80 lbs. There is a full body nutritional cleanse that can, over a short period of time, help you lose that amount of weight (if you need to lose that much). Consider this: if you only clean your kitchen, isn’t the rest of you house still dirty? It’s like that with your body too. If you clean the whole thing, the whole thing works better. I lost 29 lbs in 30 days with this system! I felt great and had a ton of energy. It’s not a diet or a fast. Check the links below for more info. Email me if you have any questions.
