The body's first line of defense is a healthy colon.
However, our internal detoxification process can break down from: overexposure
to environmental pollutants in our air, food and water, poor diet, lack of
adequate fiber, excessive alcohol and caffeine, high stress, lack of exercise,
overuse of antibiotics and prescription medications. This produces a state of
toxicity and
Colon CleanseŽ then becomes one of the most important steps in
detoxification.

Frequently Asked Questions about Colon Cleanse
Q. Why is fiber so important? A. Fiber is essential for intestinal health. Fiber keeps the digestive tract
from getting clogged up with mucus, toxins and metabolic waste. It keeps the
colon clean and waste matter moving. Fiber feeds and maintains a healthy
intestinal flora.
Q. Is the Psyllium in COLON CLEANSEŽ a fiber
from wheat grain? A. Psyllium is a fiber grain, however it is not related to wheat. Psyllium is a
natural bulking agent, that yields 60 to 70 percent soluble fiber, eight times
that of oat bran. Psyllium expands 50-60 times in the stomach to provide this
bulk or roughage.
Q. What is the soluble fiber in COLON CLEANSEŽ? A. The husk is composed mostly of a soluble fiber called hemicellulose. The
soluble fiber adds bulk to the stomach and absorbs fluids to form a gel-like
substance that stimulates the rhythmic muscular contractions in the colon
responsible for the evacuation process.
Q. Does the soluble fiber
from COLON CLEANSEŽ regulate cholesterol? A. Soluble fiber from foods such as Psyllium Husk, as part of a diet low in
saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol
attaches itself to fiber and is carried out of the body with solid waste matter.
A serving of Colon CleanseŽ supplies 5 grams of the 7 grams of soluble fiber
necessary per day to have this effect.
Q. How does the soluble
fiber from Psyllium clean the colon? A. Psyllium helps to absorb toxins in the colon by creating a spongy, gelatinous
mass in the bowels. By swelling and absorbing fluids, it breaks down and moves
toxic waste matter stuck in the folds and crevices of the colon. A clean colon
inhibits harmful bacteria from surviving on human waste. Psyllium husk soothes
the lining of the bowel and leaves a thin slippery film along the inner lining
of the colon which makes it easier for waste generated later to move along
smoothly.
Q. How much COLON CLEANSEŽ can be taken daily? A. Depending on the individual, as little as one teaspoon of Psyllium a day can
promote regularity. One tablespoon up to three times daily is the maximum dose.
However, results may not take place for 3 or more days. Psyllium is an excellent
source of fiber, puts no strain on nerve reflexes, does not damage bowel tone
and is safe for long term use. 32 grams per day, but not more than 7 grams
(about 1 heaping tablespoon) per dose.
Q. How long can I take COLON CLEANSEŽ? A. For best results you can take Psyllium everyday. Psyllium provides safe,
gentle and effective cleansing.
Q. Is there an appropriate diet for COLON CLEANSEŽ? A. Common sense about eating healthy foods is always recommended, however no
particular diet is needed.
Q. Does COLON CLEANSEŽ cause allergic reactions?
A. Allergic reactions can never be ruled out when introducing anything new into
the body. However, Psyllium should not be compared to insoluble fiber such as
wheat bran, where irritation and allergic reactions are often present. Some
individuals may feel minor discomfort with gas or bloating the first few days.
In this case, reduce your dose to half and increase gradually to the suggested
use over a period of about 2 weeks.
Q. Can I take medication and /or pills while taking COLON CLEANSEŽ? A. There are no known contraindications, however there is some speculation about
pills possibly binding to Psyllium preventing them from disintegrating and
breaking down properly. Although there is no hard evidence of this, taking
medication or pills one hour before or after COLON CLEANSEŽ is recommended.
Q. How much water should be
taken with COLON CLEANSEŽ?
A. Psyllium should be mixed with at least 8 ounces of water, juice or your
favorite beverage and swallowed quickly, because of the immediate thickening
action. 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day is recommended. Eating this
product without enough liquid may cause choking. Do not take this product if you
have difficulty in swallowing.
