so, I’m looking into colon cleansing, because I’m DISGUSTED by what junk you get in your body that is toxic.
I’m 15.
would it be safe for me to do this ?
don’t worry, I’m going to the doctors at the end of August to talk to her about it, but I just want your opinion 
Colon cleansing safe or no?

I know people do it and talk about how great it is. Except for the week or two that you’re pooping 50 times per day.
I bought a kit once that talked about how to maintain the cleanse, as in using diet and exercise to keep yourself healthy.
Talk with your doctor, but I would imagine that if you do it once a year and you use one that has fiber as an emphasis, you should be ok. Some people take it to the extreme where they cleanse constantly, or once a week or whatever. That’s really unhealthy.
Forget it – the only thing colon cleanse is meant to accomplish is the removal of money from your wallet. It’s a scam that has zero health benefits. Your colon is clean.
From Wiki:
“No scientific evidence supports the alleged benefits of colon cleansing. The bowel itself is not dirty and barring drugs or disease, cleans itself naturally without need for assistance.
Certain enema preparations have been associated with heart attacks and electrolyte imbalances. Frequent colon cleansing may interfere with the proper functioning of the colon and can lead to dependence on laxatives or enemas to defecate. Some herbs used may also interact with or reduce the effectiveness of prescription drugs.
Colon cleansing is not necessary as the body naturally removes waste material. Colon cleansing may disrupt the balance between bacteria and natural chemicals in the bowel, and may interfere with the colon’s ability to shed dead cells.”

Why put yourself through this dangerous, unnatural and unnecessary procedure?
Some quotes:
“It’s an irrational concept, yet an intriguing idea, that modern life so fills us with poisons from polluted air and food additives that we need to be periodically “cleaned out” (“detoxified”). Never mind that natural chemicals in our foods are thousands of times more potent than additives, or that most Americans are healthier, live longer, and can choose from the most healthful food supply ever available.” — Frances M. Berg, M.S.
“Real detoxification of foreign substances takes place in the liver, which modifies their chemical structure so they can be excreted by the kidneys which filter them from the blood into the urine.” –Stephen Barrett, M.D.
“Toxin” is classic pseudoscience terminology. –Ben Goldacre, M.D.
“…these detox programs amount to a large quantity of excrement, both literally and figuratively.” –Peter Pressman, M.D.

colon cleansing is NOT a safe process. Over the years your gut builds up a wide variety of bacteria that are good for you. Loose those and you will open your body to serious infection and organic break down.
Do not listen to those who promote this proceedure especially if they want money for doing it.
Your body is well able to cleanse itself with an adequate intake of clean tap water and fruit veges and nuts. These have phyto chemicals that neutralise bad stuff and assist the immune sytem to eradicate invaders
Just do the Master Cleanse which is done by :Lemon, Cayenne pepper,
organic maple syrup grade B
Please STOP READING THESE THINGS FROM WIKI AND OTHER SITES
AND over the years our body isn’t able to cleanse the body properly since there is so much use of chemicals, artificial things which weaken our body(meaning it can’t really cleanse properly)
Only if you have been eating organic food and have been vegetarian for your entire life only then ur clean from the inside because the meat u eat have many of those chemicals. growth hormones, etc
IF YOU DIDN’T DO IT YOURSELF THEN U REALLY DON’T KNOW IF IT WORK OR NOT.
I DID MASTER CLEANSE AND IT WORKED FOR ME.
