What do you think … What do you think drug rehab clinics do? DETOX. Why would you need to go to rehab if your body eliminated toxins/poisons and didn't store them. The evidence is not necessary for individual herbs as they have thousands of years of use and have proven effects worldwide. Drug company's spend millions to brainwash the public and most results of clinical trials are fixed by the funder. Look around at the obese population and tell me they dont need a body cleanse. You have to be joking, I am serious
I can say that … I can say that there is no build up because I am a paramedic, I have seen the inside of more than a few colons (think person hit by train, SPLAT) and I have never seen this so called build up in the large intestine. Never. Ask a surgeon if they have ever seen it. Same answer. It is a myth. There is no reason to believe it. Let it go already.
And yes I have done a cleanse 3 times. Your argument of
"you don't know unless you try" is not functional.
People who say … People who say detox = scam = people who have never tried it = try it and find out for yourself. If you have ever tried to quit smoking, give up coffee, alcohol and other drugs, or stop taking prescription pain killers or anti-depressants then you will soon realize how toxic by products can most definitely remain in our tissues for long periods of time. Clearing the channels of elimination to enable detoxification makes common sense to the least sensible person. Try it before you knock it.
A toxin is anything … A toxin is anything that interferes with health by simply getting in the way, and that includes negative attitudes and false beliefs. Comedians who comment on health related videos should perhaps try a detox for this very reason Joker
@taknamak did they … @taknamak did they put that stuff in before doing the colon cleansing? They do put something in from what i remember and thats what comes out.
So, all 1 has to do … So, all 1 has to do is take 1 dose of "powerful laxitive" & presto, they don't need to take your product for ten days? lol
You are so deceived by your own shell game you can't even see how your trick works. When you irritate the colon with all of those caustic herbs, you generate copius amounts of mucous & you lose a lot of WATER weight, just as one loses water wt in the equally ridiculous (and twice dangerous) protein diet fad.
Leave medicine to Drs. Reality makes no room for quackery.
thanks! thanks!
I think he is … I think he is simply asking for credible scientific investigation that is reviewed by other doctors because u are making a claim that has 0 scientific footing.
"Oil changes" are founded by a century of peer reviewed work done by chemical engrs. He doesn't require papers 4 that because it is well founded already by science.
Drs do recommend healthy living practices. Their patients are the ones who disregard it & die. Patients expect drs to compensate with medicine & surgery, & the drs do.
This guy needs to … This guy needs to see a surgical procedure done on the colon or a colonoscopy. There just isn't any "cake" plastered on the colon walls like he's saying. The only time a back up happens is because of a blockage caused by something like a tumor.
The mucous strings … The mucous strings come from mucousal irritation in the intestines caused by the herbal preperations taken during the cleanse. Open up a colon of a fasting person and see for yourself like doctors in the begining of the 20th century did. There just is no buildup of undigested food in the colon the way these scammers say. The lightness comes from expansive massage of the colon relieving stress not as a result of removing "toxins."
You need papers to … You need papers to prove what? Do you need papers to prove that changing the oil in your car helps prolong engine life, or do you trust the anecdotal reports of thousands of motorists. The reason these studies have not been done is because the "medical system" is too narrow minded to consider that 90% of our modern diseases could be prevented by offering actual sensible health-care and education. Where is the study proving swine flu vaccines are safe?
You could not be …
You could not be more WRONG.
I have done 3 different Detox systems over the years.
That was before I found out it was such a scam!
There is no scientific evidence to prove DETOX. None.
Look, it could not be more simple to prove. NAME a toxin.
Say led. Now run a blood test for it, get a base-line.
Now do your detox system of choice.
Next, test for that same “toxin” again.
Do that with 100 people. If a significant number of those people get a reduction of that toxin, there is your proof.
Detox = scam
m’kay?
Detox = scam
m’kay?
what caused the …
what caused the worldwide economic downturn? toxins!
who killed Bambi’s mother? toxins!
who developed the first atomic bomb? toxins!
dont listen to your GP who knows nothing about medicine…listen to this joker who is trying to sell you his product
Herbal Medicine has …
Herbal Medicine has been practiced for many 1000′s of years and still is the primary medicine in 80% of the world. Doctors fail most people as true health approaches the long term cause of disease. This is all my product does. Until you try and test these natural healing practices for yourself you really have no place giving an any opinion. I have spent many years in medical training seeing tens of thousands of clients in my practice. Modern medical failures = herbal medicines success stories.
taknamak, Doctors …
taknamak, Doctors that deal with that section of the body know that there is never a ‘cake’ old mucoid etc in the intestines. Please, research about this.
I am not sure about the raw food diet and am researching that currently.
until you do it you …
until you do it you don’t understand what I am talking about…definitly not the shake as there other stuff that look like the shake, but the bentonite clay draws out really old stuff as well, and can tell you those do not come fro the shake. You have to be juice fasting however, in order to get the old mucoid out. I have been fasting and cleaning my body for the last 20 years and I look 15 years younger than my age, and in top health. Of course I eat mostly a raw vegan diet as well)))
Not true, I am …
Not true, I am currently doing a colon cleanse and the stuff that is coming out is definitly hardened mucous, black, rubbery and disgusting. He is right.
When people lose …
When people lose 20lb in ten days, they are not losing fat and their abdomens shrink. There is a backlog within 90% of the population and this is why our product is so successful. Powerful laxatives are always given before any colonoscopy so obviously no build up remains. The point is not to avoid colon cleansing products but to avoid intestinal build up, which eventually chokes the digestive system, encourages parasites, fatigue and yes, fat gain. Try it and see for yourself…. Many blessings
Abdomens are ” …
Abdomens are “bloated” because of fat, not because there is this mythical volume of undigested food caked on the colon.
I told you why. …
I told you why. I’ve had a colonoscopy . Nothing caked on the walls. Mucous prevents this from happening.
Irrigation of the colon can expand it & help to relieve tension in the muscles of the bowel. That stress relief can alleviate the depression caused by such tension & can compensate for stress induced eating habits.
Many people who have lost weight other ways have kept it off too, simply because they are concious of their formerly unconcious habits that got them there in the 1st place.
How can you …
How can you possibly say there is no build up in the intestine when people eat so much processed food and most of the population have huge bloated abdomens most of their adult lives. If you lost 20 pounds doing a detox and never put this weight back on then what was it?? Have you tried it yourself, or are you speaking from in-experience?? I love the know it all portion of humanity who try nothing themselves, for fear of proving themselves wrong. Thanks and good luck on your health journey! Brett
the proof is in the …
the proof is in the detox do it and see!
I am not convinced …
I am not convinced sorry. I agree that cigarette smoke diesel fuels gasoline fuels etc are toxins and doctors will agree too, however there is no evidence for detoxification through herbal remedies. All i see is anecdotal incidents talking about “detox symptoms”. I need papers, studies done on a group using your remedies.
