On Colon Cleansing Pills and Clinical Cleansing

So, how is it everyone ? Been busy as my mom has been hospitalised for breathlessness and not been able to check on my blog. On doc's advice, also did a MT scan but luckily so far nothing is found to be wrong with her.

Ever tried any of the OTC colon cleansing pills or even gone for a colon cleanse before ?

The reason why you are at my blog now is probably to find out more about them.

In an earlier post, I mentioned I went for a colon cleanse/screen. It was "alright" once you get used to that feeling LOL , if you know what I mean. Otherwise, it will certainly be something worth experiencing LOL, on top of getting a good cleanse :)

To sum up, however, colon cleansing pills that are of vegetarian formula are highly recommended as it is less abrasive to your gut. Also, it is advisable that you go for a cleanse if you have not done so. Doing it once every few years is good for you.

Learn to take care of your colon as it is often highly disregarded ~

However, do consult with your family doctor first to see if the OTC medicine or the clinical cleanse is suitable for you. Read on in my blog about OTC cleansing medication, colon cancer screening and who is suitable :)

Colon Cancer

Colon Cancer

My blog is a very generalistic blog on colon cancer and various colon cleansing solutions.

It is more for your reading pleasure and a source of online information.

It is by no means exhaustive as the internet is a rich source of information.

But to be on the safe side, you should approach your local government clinics for a body scan or full body checkup once every year to ensure that you are fine. Never overlook colon issues like cancer which can cause you great suffering.

Going for a colon cleanse once a year is also something that you might want to put in your annual calendar.

Or have a healthy diet covering colon detoxication that will help you in your digestion and protect your gut against all the daily "wear and tear".

Remember, having colon cancer is no joke and will cause you more agony especially when you will have problems eating.

Get treated for colon cancer if you are discovered early and that can be easier as compared to later years when the cancer cells spread and you end up with more issues than you can handle on top of a hefty medical bill.

Search the net ! Or go see a doctor if you are worried !

Importance of a Healthy Colon

Just a short note to stress one thing to you :

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP A HEALTHY DIET IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY COLON

So having said that, go through my blog on how to have a healthy diet that will aid you in maintaining a healthy colon. Tips on colon cleansing and the various off the counter drugs that are available on the market which you can take to aid you in your daily digestive tract cleansing.

Never overlook your colon as it can lead to unpleasant complications !

The Diet After a Colon Cleanse

The body has effectively two "brains" - the one located in our head, and the one located in our gut. We normally do not pay a lot of attention to the colon - we usually think more about the heart, brain, and lungs as more important organs to take care of.

However, consider this :

Our colon is the 3rd most common organ where cancer develops.

Colon Cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer death in developed nations

Think that's not enough ? Also consider this :

When toxins end up in our colon, they can ultimately do one of 2 things:

1. Be elimintated through easy bowel movements.
2. Be backed up back into our body, where it can end up in our bloodstream, and ultimately cause cell damage or cancer.

A colon cleanse is necessary in cleaning out the various toxins stuck in our colon, but afterwards it's just as important to maintain that clean colon. Afterall, no matter how many times you clean your colon through medical means, if you do not maintain a clean colon and a healthy diet, then all efforts are wasted.

We can start with of course, a clean diet that's good for the colon. What foods are involved in this diet ? Fiber and more fiber.

To promote regularly, we need fiber. That's obvious to many people, yet a lot of us don't get enough of it, so we need to stress the point.

Get your greens every single day.

Eat nuts: Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, and chestnuts. Avoid peanuts and cashews as much as possible. They aren't as healthy as the aforementioned ones.

Whole grains: Choose barley and rye. Consider eating some Kichadi and legumes for lunch. Wild rice is excellent too, and superior to white rice.

A high-fiber diet helps toxins, residue waste, and fecal matter sweep out of the colon. It prevents constipation by stimulating peristalsis, and making our bowels less hard.

Fiber is divided into two types: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber helps increase the amount of good bacteria, which helps rid us of bad bacteria such as E.Coli.

Good Sources:

- Flaxseed
- Legumes, beans, and peas.
- Oats, rice, and barley.
- Strawberries
- Citrus, and apples


Insoluble Fiber prevents constipation.

Good Sources:

- Whole wheat, rye, brown rice, barley
- carrots
- brussel sprouts
- cabbage, beets

Everyone needs between 22-36 grams of fiber a day. Most people unfortunately don't even come close to reaching this amount. Ideally, we should be getting at least 6 servings of veggies and fruits, and 6+ of whole grains. If you're not getting enough fiber, consider taking fiber supplements. However, it is better to get it from whole foods.

Green Foods

Green foods contains a ton of chlorophyll, which is great for the colon. Chlorophyll helps smoothens any damaged tissue in the GI tract. With chlorophyll, our body gets more oxygens and releases more toxins.



Good Sources:

-wheatgrass, spirulina, algae
-Perfect Food supplement Fermented Foods

Many of our diets lack fermented foods. We need these foods to maintain the balance of bacteria in our GI tract. They help keep toxic substances in check, reduce the number of bad bacteria, and provide energy to the colon.

Good Sources:
-Cultured yogurt
-Kefir (preferably homemade)
-Sauerkraut

Water
Ideally we should drink up to ten cups of water a day. Whenever I feel sick, or dizzy I immediately reach out for my bottle of water. There's something called the Water Cure, for those who are interested about learning the benefits of water.

Do not consume alcohol, or substitute water with black tea or coffee. If you want, you can add a bit of lemon, or sea salt to the water for some electrolytes.

So once again, here is the type of diet you should follow after colon cleansing :

1. Eat foods high in fiber such as whole gains. Make sure you eat soluble and unsoluble fiber.
2. Include fermented foods in your diet such as kefir.
3. Eat foods high in chlorophyll such as wheatgrass, and algage. You should do this, no what Colon Cleansing Formulas you use.
4. Drink up to 10 glasses of water a day and avoid coffee and black tea.

Review of Colopril - a Herbal Colon Cleanser

Article Extract : www.colonzone.org

Colopril is a herbal supplement that claims to be another comprehensive colon cleaner. It is promoted to clean and detoxify the colon, lungs, kidney and heart. A healthy colon can create better health. When there are excess toxins in the body, it suffers and leads to ailments like obesity, bad skin and hair, foul smelling breath and many others.

When the colon is eliminated of these toxins weight loss is a benefit, until the colon is filled with more waste. Colopril claims to be an all-natural colon cleanser that reduces weight, helps to improve skin by making it smoother and clearer, helps increase energy, promotes a healthy immune system and helps the body absorb vitamins and minerals from food better.

It also claims that it’s specially formulated to help remove parasites and heavy metals from the body and to prevent further build-up through the dietary fiber that is included in the system.

To understand Colopril, the ingredients must be looked at. The two main ingredients are cascara sagrada and psyllium.

Cascara Sangrada has compounds called anthroquinones, which give cascara its powerful laxative effects. Anthroquinones help to trigger contractions in the colon and this causes the urge to have a bowel movement. It is the most common herbal laxative. It is also known to improve the muscle tone of the colon wall.

Psyllium husks are used to help relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea.

They are also used to help improve and maintain regular GI transit and can be used as a regular dietary supplement. Psyllium husks may help to lower cholesterol and help to control diabetes.

These two ingredients are powerful laxatives and will help the body to remove waste, but this alone can not help thoroughly cleanse the body and give the extra benefits that Colopril claims that their supplement gives. Elimination is only one part of the detox process. Many supplement programs provide probiotics that help to restore the balance of the intestinal flora, which help aid in balancing digestion. However, Colopril does not.

This product also claims to be a weight loss supplement and some users have had some temporary positive results, but upon long term use they gained the weight back. Colopril has no diet recommendations, so the weight loss many people experience is due to extra elimination of waste. The user should change any poor lifestyle choices and maintain a proper diet and exercise program with any supplement.

A clean digestive tract can metabolize food much more efficiently if the body is not constantly being bogged down with toxins from processed foods, sugar and fats. When doing any kind of detox program eating vegetables, fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and drinking plenty of water is recommended. Since Colopril has no diet recommendations many people continue their diet and see no results.

One major complaint that people have with Colopril is that it has no product guarantee or trial period offered. Users have tried the product, have not been happy with the results and could not return the product for a full or even a partial refund.

Maybe because it is a herbal cleanser with no other side effects, people are willing to give it a try. Some people benefit from it, some don't.

What is Colon Cancer

To know what is colon cancer, firstly it is important to know what is the Colon.

Now Colon is a part of our body’s digestive system, this is where the body stores waste material . The end of the colon adjacent is the rectum which leads to the anus. Both together, form an extended muscular tube which is known as large intestine which is also known as large bowel.

Colon or rectum tumors are growths that arise from the large intestines or large bowels inner wall. Large intestines benign tumor is called polyps, and large intestines malignant tumor is called cancer. Benign polyps do not have the tendency to invade tissues around and even don’t spread to different parts of a body.

Benign polyps are not at all life-threatening and can be very easily removed via colonoscopy. However if this benign polyps is not removed for a long time from large intestine it can turn into malignant. Most cancers of large intestine or the large bowel is known to be developed from benign polyps. There is even a possibility that cancer cell could break and spread from one organ to another like lungs and liver and form new tumors. Hence, colon cancer.

Globally rectum and colon cancer is third foremost reason of cancer found in men and fourth foremost reason of cancer found in women. Colon cancer is commonly found in Western world, but is relatively uncommon in Africa and Asia.

Thinking of Going for a Colon Cleanse Myself

Having written so much about colon cancer and colon cleansing, I am now also deliberating on whether I should go for a detox program at my local government clinic.

Been eating too much lately especially over this festive season (Chinese New Year), binging and overeating so much so that my stomach and abdomen areas feels very bloated and clogged .....

Heck, I hope to go back to normal eating habits after I am done with all the new year goodies LOL.

Oh well, it is good to go for a colon cleanse once in a blue moon, if it is a regular checkup which is good for the bowels/intestines anyways.

Ok, going for a full body health checkup while at it :)

Overview of What Cancer Is

To find out more about Colon Cancer first we need to know what Cancer is.

A collection of 100 or more different disease is Cancer. Cancer affects the cells which are a body’s necessary unit; Cancer usually occurs when the body cells starts behaving abnormally and split or divides without order or control. Like other organs, a human body’s rectum and colon also is made-up of several kind of cells. Generally, cells divide or split for producing more cells, this happens only when a body needs more cells. This orderly procedure helps in keeping us healthy.

If body cells keep splitting or dividing when the body does not need new cells, then a mass or collection of tissue starts forming. This mass or collection of additional tissue is called a tumor or growth, which can be malignant or benign.

Tumors which are called benign do not have Cancer. They are normally removable and in many cases they usually don’t come back. Most importantly, benign tumor cells don’t spread at all to other body parts. In extreme rare cases benign tumor can be a threat to any one’s life.

Tumors which are called malignant are the ones which have cancer. Cells which have cancer can damage and invade organs and tissues close to the tumor. Cancer cells are able to break or split away from malignant tumor, it can also enter the lymphatic or bloodstream system. Normally this is the way cancer spreads in a human body.

Constipation

Been having constipation these since this morning .......

And one day before the holidays. Sheez...

Having written so many posts on colon cancer and cleansing and watching countless YT videos on the symptoms, I do hope it is nothing serious.

I am on senna tablets now. If this does not work, will go see my family doc tomorrow.

Importance of Having a Healthy Diet

After going thru tons of research for my blog and getting a better understanding of colon cleansing and the cancerous effects, it is important to ensure an overall balanced and healthy diet that is rich in fiber/roughage.

At least that will help to lessen the workload of ur intestines.

And don't forget regular exercise to sweat it out !
