It’s day six on my cleanse, and so far things are good. I felt a bit tired over the past few days, probably from the detoxing effect of the cleanse. The fiber increase certainly has curbed my appetite, and my belly’s been rumbling a lot more. Nothing scary yet to report!
If you’re thinking about doing this Colonix cleanse, check my blog periodically and I’ll let you know how it’s going.

There’s been much talk lately about the benefits of colon cleansing and detox programs. The most common questions patients have about them are ‘do they work?’, ‘are they safe for you ?’ and ‘do you have to camp out in the bathroom when you’re on one?’ The fact of the matter is, cleanses and detoxes are good for you when done the right way. And no, you don’t have to set up a commode side cot to get through the process.
Proper “elimination,” along with proper nutrition, movement, recouperation and nerve communication is an important function your body performs to maintain health. Over time our digestive tracts can become sluggish and ineffective at absorbing nutrients if they become clogged. That’s where a good cleanse comes in. When done correctly, periodic colon cleanses can clear your intestines of poorly absorbed food, parasites and excess mucous. (I know, not pleasant to think about, but do you really want that stuff hanging out inside you.)
Aside from the cleaning benefits, many report significant weight reduction and energy gain from doing cleanses. So which one program is best? You have to try a few to find what works best for you. I stumbled on a website called DrNatura.com. Their product Colonix looked pretty good, and the testimonials and pictures (yes pictures) posted on their site were quite impressive… enough to convince me to be buy a 3 month supply. I’m on day 3 and I can honestly say that what they report in the website is true. No pain, no urgent trips to the bathroom and I do have a bit more energy. I haven’t witnessed any “alien landings yet” (see the picture gallery on DrNatura.com) but I’ll keep you posted on how things are going in my blog.

Today the FDA came out with its position on mercury in fillings (dental amalgams). According to their website, as part of settling a lawsuit with several consumer advocacy groups…
Specifically, the FDA has agreed that amalgams which contain half mercury poses a risk to pregnant women, children and FETUS’. Here’s where things get interesting…
The FDA still won’t admit that mercury in the form of thimerisol in childhood vaccines and flu shots is dangerous too! How can mercury be bad for you if when it’s in your dental fillings, but be perfectly fine if you inject it directly into your body? Makes no sense whatsoever.
Although the rates of autism and alzhiemer’s are on the rise in our country (both neurological diseases), the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies refuse to remove neurotoxic mercury containing preservatives like thimerisol from all vaccines. Childhood vaccines were mandated in the early 2000′s to take the preservative out, but it’s still present in your flu shot… that once a year, ritual dose of mercury people line up for at CVS every season.
The bottom line is you need to be vigillent when it comes to knowing what your doctor wants to inject into your body. Get the facts yourself! The FDA’s track record when it comes to COMMON SENSE is lacking.
