Cleansing has always had a place among humans, throughout all ages and cultures. For thousands of years, body purification has been a part of our rituals for health and well-being. It was also used in ancient times as a way to reconnect with God.
Diets have just been in vogue during the last 150 years or so. You can look at the word diet in different ways. It has that painful reference to cutting way back on all the foods you love. It also can refer to a set of foods you allow yourself to consume without limit.
Recently diet products and supplements have turned into diet “systems”. Diet products used to just burn fat or boost your metabolism so you burned more calories. They were fat burners. Now diet systems involve a cleanse portion as well, a metabolism booster and sometimes a natural appetite suppressant like Hoodia.
So, what is the best way to healthy weight loss? Let’s talk about what a colon cleanse can do for healthy weight loss.
Detox or cleansing is a way to clean out all the toxins, environmental pollutants, and wastes from all the drugs, toxins and chemicals ingested into our bodies. Think about all environmental poisoning from just the pesticides, insecticides and other contaminants that are on most of our foods. Think about all the chemicals in our air and water, food additives in processed food, antibiotics and more that we absorb into our cells. These environmental toxins and stresses assault our liver, blood and colon on a daily basis. Our liver removes many of these toxins, but in today’s world our liver is overloaded it just keeps dumping toxins into our colon and blood systems because it can’t take the toxic load we are giving it. Repeated exposure to these toxins, pesticides, and antibiotics can take its toll on the body resulting in suppressed immune systems, unexplained aches, depression, weight gain, loss of memory, and low levels of energy.
“The colon is a sewage system, but by neglect and abuse it becomes a cesspool. When it is clean and normal, we are well and happy; let it stagnate, and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation and putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the brain and nervous system so that we become mentally depressed and irritable; it will poison the heart so that we are weak and listless; poisons the lungs so that the breath is foul; poisons the digestive organs so that we are distressed and bloated; and poisons the blood so that the skin is sallow and unhealthy. In short, every organ of the body is poisoned, and we age prematurely, look and feel old, the joints are stiff and painful, neuritis, dull eyes and a sluggish brain overtake us; the pleasure of living is gone.”
- Dr. Bernard Jensen
Healthy weight loss starts with a colon cleanse. If the colon is cleansed on a regular basis it is better able to absorb nutrients into our cells. If our colon is full of compacted old waste it absorbs very little of the actual nutrients we eat. That is why the body keeps telling you that you are hungry and calls for more food. It is a vicious cycle. Healthy weight loss, weight loss that lasts, comes from fine tuning your system, starting with a colon cleanse. A good colon cleanse will eliminate most sugar and salt cravings making that healthy weight loss even easier! To keep your body running in top shape with high energy levels you should consider a colon, liver, blood and kidney cleanse once every three months or once every season. You can also buy some “health assurance” by adding a green superfood to your diet daily. That is what I call a diet!

A question commonly asked by dieters is, “What can I do to support my healthy weight?” As a digestive care educator, my simple answer to that question is “cleanse & detoxify!” Simple dietary changes such as adding more fiber, and seasonal colon cleansing can help you promote regularity & associated weight loss.
Colon cleansing is often the first thing we think about when we hear the words cleansing and detoxification. Everyday at work I speak with countless individuals who have reaped the benefits of undergoing even the simplest form of colon cleanse.
Think of it this way, if your digestive system is a long tube that flows one-way, then we must prevent occasional constipation from stopping up the works and causing excess retention. Indeed, if your bowels are irregular, then where is all that undigested & constipated food going? So, improve digestion & eliminate constipation, and you will encourage your body to naturally shed excess weight.
According to digestive expert & colon therapist, Brenda Watson, constipation can also lead to “autointoxication,” which her book ‘Essential Cleansing for Perfect Health” defines as “poisoning, or the state of being poisoned, from toxic substances produced within the body.” Brenda maintains that impaired digestion allows harmful microbes in the digestive tract to act on undigested food. She continues the argument by stating that faulty elimination can then allow these toxins to seep from the intestinal tract into the circulatory system, where they can cause numerous hazards to the body.
In her newest book, The Fiber35 Diet, Ms Watson shares with us the ‘detoxification factor’. She reminds us that toxins can slow down our metabolism, decrease our ability to burn fat, and even slow down the time it takes to feel full. So, if our goal is to lose weight, then we are encouraged to cleanse and detoxify.
To cleanse naturally, the colon is helped by our consumption of fiber, which promotes regularity and absorbs excess toxins, eliminating them in a healthy bowel movement. Sadly, few Americans are getting the quantity of fiber needed to promote a healthy colon. The American Dietetic Association recommends that adults consume 20-35 grams of fiber every day for optimal health. Most of us are lucky if we consume 12-15 grams of fiber in our average diet. Since our body is not getting the nutritional support it needs to successfully cleanse, then it is unable to eliminate and detoxify properly.
Additionally, even if you consume a fairly healthy diet, our bodies are still being assaulted everyday by toxins and chemicals from the environment. Car exhaust, heavy metals, pesticides, off-gassing from carpets and plastics, even DDT from formerly contaminated soil are all serving to add to the toxic burden that is slowly poisoning our bodies.
There are many cleansing products on the market. When purchasing a program, experts recommend choosing one that addresses your body as a system, because a healthy body will cleanse and detoxify utilizing the seven channels of elimination: liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin, blood, and bowel. You want to be sure that you are giving each organ the support it needs to do its job.
Be sure to take in adequate fiber while cleansing. You’ll also want to make sure your bowels are moving regularly. Conducting a periodic total body cleanse will help your body to relieve itself of the extra burden. Partner this with a healthy lifestyle, such as what goes hand in hand with weight management and you will have the greatest success.

I am currently taking a weight loss supplement called "Nuphedrine". So far Its great, no jitters or racing heart and I’m losing weight! I would like to also do a colon cleanse for additional weight loss and overall health. Is that safe to do and if so what is a recommended product that works?
If you know correct weight loss information you can lose weight. I did the program here this site and I lost 9 pounds in 30 days. It is very easy to lose weight. You can find my weight loss program that lost me 18 pounds in 7 weeks here http://bit.ly/iebgei4
It’s ironic that while society is obsessed with fitness and weight loss, fast food restaurants are more popular than ever and obese childhood obesity are at record highs. It is hardly surprising that the snake-oil purveyors of today are using the same methodology that their distant cousins used in the decades gone by: while in the past any tincture promised to be “love in a bottle” today’s con artist promises that every tincture, mix of pills and caplets, and supplemental regimen spells “weight loss in a bottle.” Of course, considering that weight loss and attractiveness to the opposite sex go hand in hand, perhaps the snake-oil salesmen of old and the modern batch still have a lot more in common than meets the eyes, even though today’s crop is adding an additional step in between supplement and love.
It is, therefore, not surprising that those selling colon cleansers on the internet are often adding claims of startling weight loss to their shticks. Yet as much as one would like to disagree with the clever ‘Net sales people, they do have a point! Here are some startling facts why high quality colon cleanses guarantee weight loss success:
Mathematics bears out the brunt of the argument. Consider an individual who has lived most of her or his life on the typical American diet rich in processed foods, animal fat, sugar, toxins, and other undesirable additives. As the fecal matter becomes compacted in the colon and builds up, the odds are good that after a few decades there will be several pounds of matter stuffed into the colon. When a colon cleanser is used to flush out the matter, pounds upon pounds of waste matter will leave the body, thus making it lighter.
While mathematics showcases that there is a certain weight loss associated with a colon cleansing regimen, the weight loss stops as soon as the colon cleanse is completed, correct? Wrong! The weight loss success continues as the colon is functioning properly! No longer does the body demand more food to feed its organs which are starving for nutrients, but instead the nutrients which are now being ingested are properly absorbed and thus the body signals fullness a lot sooner. While those given to overeating for psychological reasons will still need to deal with behavior modification, those who overate due to bodily demands will find that the weight they have gained will begin to melt away since they are no longer overfeeding their bodies simply to satisfy nutritional needs.
Finally, as the fecal matter and its inherent toxins are made to leave your body, your organs will no longer have to fight the attack of the toxins and their byproducts but instead get back to the tasks they were intended; thus, your kidneys and liver will once again be at peak performance, while your pancreas and stomach will have the ability to deal with the digestion of food properly. Once again this will decrease the body’s perceived need for food intake, since it is no longer in danger of starving for nutrients. Weight loss is inevitable.
