Chinese herbal colon cleansing formulas

"1.) They help eliminate the majority of toxins from your colon (following the preparation instructions). Once toxins are removed, the body can start healing itself, with proper nutrition and care, and health can then be restored.

2.) Every time that you want to detoxify your colon you only need to drink the ..... Cleanse formulas within one day (to prevent weakening the digestive system) instead of over several days or several weeks as with other colon detoxification products.

3.) After detoxification, the majority of people will lose up to 6 pounds in a day.

Nowadays Americans understand the importance of detoxifying their colon to help them prevent all kinds of diseases caused by the accumulation of toxins in their bodies over time. But they don't realize that the majority of the herbal cleansing formulas out there contains herbs such as senna, cascara sagrada, aloe vera, and rhubarb root that are meant primarily for short-term use - they are rarely recommended for long-term use.

Overuse of these herbs can lead to loss of fluids, low potassium levels, over dependence, diarrhea, headaches, and pain caused by dryness, fatigue and can impair or even damage the digestive system. Therefore they should not be use for any great length of time. Most of the Western colon cleansing formulas out there require that it be consumed anywhere from 7 to 30 days. This can harm one's digestive system weakening the energy of the stomach.

Toxins retained in the body over time will gradually turn into a slime-like substance in the colon as a result of excess heat. The longer this heat toxin remains in the body the more difficult it is to clean out and will eventually manifest itself into other heat symptoms such as nausea, headaches, stomach cramps, gas bloating, bladder, prostrate, and yeast infections, back pain, allergies, hypoglycemia, depression, etc.

If left untreated these heat toxins will gradually spread out and impair other organs such as the stomach, kidney, liver, etc. Once overheated, these organs will decline in their ability to absorb nutrients and circulate energy freely, resulting in what the Chinese call damp-heat (water retention) toxins. Upward mobility of damp-heat will cause sinus congestion, sore throat, hair loss, stinging eyes, heavy menstrual, insomnia and asthma while downward movement will result in back pain, knee stiffness, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, impotence and swollen, tired legs."

" After detoxification continued health needs to be maintained with proper digestive support to ensure nutrient absorption. Many illnesses will reoccur from poor digestive function. Without a healthy digestive system the body will not receive the essential nutrients it needs, nor will it be able to eliminate toxic waste from the body resulting once again in the re-accumulation of stagnant/undigested food and thus excess weight gains. Therefore it is necessary to take a good herbal tonic supplement afterwards to help strengthen the digestive system and assist in the assimilation of nutrients needed to keep the body functioning normally. Such an excellent natural Chinese herbal tonic is Forever Health's Digest Chi. The ingredients in this natural Chinese herbal formula have been used safely and effectively for centuries by millions of Chinese."

Hi Suzi,

I haven't done any of these....I'm on some other herbs right now. But

I think I will try one of them, modified for me. I would make my own

from " raw " herbs (herbs in their whole form) at the school 'pharmacy'.

I haven't seen any other company using these cleansing terms...not

that there aren't others out there. I mostly take my herbs raw...more

bang for my buck. If convenience is an issue, I'll take powders.

With powders and raw I can customize the formula. In pill form I like

Golden Flower or Secara.

When we see patients in the clinic we do address their toxicity

problems but don't really address it as a cleanse. We're usually

addressing how their toxins are manifesting. The folks who wrote the

cleansing piece have combined Western language/protocols with Eastern

thought.

We address the entire digestion/absorption issue....which when you get

down to it, is the issue we are personally in the most control of and

is the most important variable factor after we leave the womb.

Ungumming the works is a great place to start...keeping it ungummed is

the next. Educating and empowering the patient is right up there, as

well.

I could make a formula for me or someone I could see in person and do

a full intake and tongue, pulse and other visuals...I wouldn't dare

make a raw or powdered formula without all the info. But pills would

be OK....if you go to the link in the original post I think you could

choose any of those safely. They do seem to have the right idea.
