Colon Cleanse

Archive for the ‘Colon Cleanse’ Category

Colon hydrotherapy is advisable before a surgery or as a part of pre-endoscopy preparation. It’s carried out in hospitals and the researches show that the effectiveness of colon hydrotherapy is much higher that the use of oral magnesium sulfate, enema or oral mannitol. It helps to cleanse the large bowel much better and the success rate of the procedure is 98%.

How Colon Hydrotherapy is Carried Out
During this colon cleanse procedure the large bowel is cleansed with the help of water. The water is filtered to remove solid sediments and passed though an ultra-violet unit to kill viruses and bacteria. The water is introduced into the large bowel with the help of a special instrument and a therapist carries out a gentle massage to facilitate the movement of the waste material.

How the Patient is Prepared
As a rule, the patient can maintain normal meals, the changes in the diet are necessary only if you have a serious medical condition and are going to have a surgery/colonoscopy, etc. One has to empty the ladder before colon cleansing, then the patient lies down in a so-called Sim’s position and after a short examination the procedure starts.

Colon Hydrotherapy Side-Effects
Colon hydrotherapy helps to kill harmful bacteria and cleanse the colon fast, but it also carries a potential danger, as it kills ALL bacteria in the large bowel and your body needs additional help for normal functioning, so make sure that your doctor prescribes you a course of bacteria after this aggressive form of colon cleansing.

Eastern diets and methods of colon cleanse can seem rather shocking to some Europeans. What would you say if you were asked to swallow a several meters of cloth for medical bandage and then to pull it out of your stomach to cleanse it? I’m sure that even a thought of it seems disgusting and frightening to you and am with you here. But the diets the Chinese medicine offers for colon cleanse deserve more attention, as some of them are really effective. Today I want to say a few words about a famous rice colon cleanse.

Rice is the main food of most eastern people, but they use it not only to nourish their body, but also to cleanse it. Take 7 glass jars and stick sheets of paper with numbers from 1 to 7 to them. Take jar number 1, fill it with cold boiled water and add 2-3 spoonfuls of rice. Leave for 24 hours, then change the water in jar №1 and add water and rice to jar№3, on the third day change the water in jars №1, 2 and add water to jar №3, etc. On the 7th day take the rice from the first jar, put it in hot or boiling water for 10-15 minutes and eat it. It will be your breakfast; don’t eat anything before it and an hour after it. In an hour you can have a glass of herbal tea and some light food. Rice cooked this way serves as a sponge to our body and soaks up all harmful bacteria and other substances.
This diet requires some patience and will power, but it’s worth it, as you’ll feel revived and light after these 7 days.

Natural colon cleanse is the best and the safest as it doesn’t kill natural gut flora and doesn’t require a long rehabilitation period. Vegetables and dried fruits are optimal choice for natural colon cleanse.
Below are the top leaders among natural colon cleanse products:

Eat this salad instead of your supper meals and in the morning you’ll see a perfect result. You can combine this salad with a glass of butter milk, but remember that it should be fresh!

Cassia Angustifolia, widely-known as Senna, is often used for a quick natural colon cleanse, but you should know some things about it before starting using it.

Action
Senna works as a fecal softener and colon stimulator. The effect depends on individual body-type and the dosage. Senna is effective in 100% of cases if taken in correct dosage. It leads to the:
1. Retention of fluid in fecal masses
2. Increase in fecal masses
Thus, the pressure in the colon increases and the fecal masses are “pushed” from the body.
Pluses
The pluses of this natural colon cleanse are: its effectiveness, low cost, absence of side effects, quick effect (you have to take 1-2 spoonfuls of senna tea before going to bed to see the effect in the morning).
Caution
But at the same time you have to know some very important things about senna:
1. Cassia Angustifolia does not suit for regular usage. The optimal course of treatment – 1-2 weeks.
2. If taken for long periods of time, Cassia Angustifolia can cause indigestion, stomach ache, nausea, lazy bowel syndrome.
3. Can cause distention, pain in the colon area and dizziness.
So, remember, than senna cannot be used as a regular laxative. Find safer natural ways of colon cleanse. Eat more fruit and vegetables and go in for sports to prevent and cure constipation.
Natural laxatives:
1. Oat meal
2. Read beet salad
3. Coffee (suits not all)
4. Dried plums (soak5-7 into hot water for 5-10 min and eat them before going to bed)
5. Raspberry with milk (take 2 spoonfuls of raspberries and stir with a glass of high fat milk and a teaspoonful of sugar and drink an hour before the meal or 3 hours after the meal).
6. Grapes and raisins
7. Persimmon and many other fruits and vegetables

As we’ve mentioned above, there exist 2 main types of colon cleansing: natural ones and the manipulations carried out at hospitals and clinics. The most common aggressive colon cleanse is hydrotherapy or colon irrigation, during which the colon is cleaned with a powerful stream of water. As a rule, special meds or herbs are added to the water to stimulate deep cleansing and kill harmful bacteria inside the colon. It sounds good, isn’t it? But don’t hurry to rush to it.
Hydrotherapy isn’t as good as it seems to be. It has several evident minuses. First of all, in many centers the patients are not informed about all the pluses and minuses, and possible complications of hydrotherapy. The most serious danger is changes in colon flora, as during this manipulation all the bacteria are killed, even those who help us absorb and digest food. So your doctor has to recommend what corrections in your diet you should make to prevent dysbacteriosis.
The second minus of this colon cleansing is that in a month or 2 your body can be as poisoned, as it has used to be before hydrotherapy. The matter is that after any colon cleanse you have to keep to a diet to prevent constipation and other problems. In some cases problems with food digestion can take place. Make hydrotherapy in quality medical centers only to prevent infections and other complications. Hydrotherapy can be done in the most serious cases only when no other colon cleanse treatment can help. Mild and natural colon cleansing is much better for your body, as you clean and heal it at the same time.

Colon is a part of the digestive system responsible for water and salts’ exaction from solid wastes. Its role cannot be overestimated, as it’s the home for the irreplaceable bacteria, without which the process of food digestion is impossible. Colon also absorbs potassium (it’s extremely important for the creation of new cells and normal functioning of heart, liver and other organs) and vitamins. But in the course of time, the colon is polluted with fecal masses and it stops to fulfill the function of the natural barrier of our body. So regular colon cleaning helps to preserve the health of our body, to cure and prevent serious diseases. Dirty colon is the reason of many diseases including constipation, indigestion and many others. It also leads to the weakening of immune system and constant migraines.
Once or twice a year every person must make colon cleanse. The frequency and the choice of colon cleaning depend on individual constitution and state of health. If you don’t have problems with stool or other serious problems with the digestive tract, you can use a mild colon cleanse home remedy. It can be a rice diet (rice prepared the way this diet requires serves like a sponge in your body and absorbs all the harmful substances). The plus of natural colon cleanse is – it doesn’t upset flora balance and you don’t have to take any pills after this type of colon cleanse.
If you face more serious problems with your colon, you can try any of the following super colon cleanse methods suitable for those who suffer from constipation:
• Common buckthorn (only if you have severe constipation!!!). There are many supplements containing it. You have to take them for about a month (check the recommended time on the bottle) and you’ll forget about all the problems with constipation.
• Laxative pills. Their evident minus is side-effects. They eliminate the symptoms of the problem, but not help to get rid of it, so they can be used when you need the immediate and quick solution of your problem.
• Colonic irrigation, often called colon hydrotherapy. This method can be used in the most hopeless cases only and requires a long and serious rehabilitation period.
Natural colon cleanse is the best way to clean your digestive system, as they clean not only this segment, but your digestive tract and your body in general. Beetroot, dried plum, kiwi and oat cereal are perfect natural colon cleanse products, which offer a mild and easy solution of this delicate problem.
