Man it takes a long time for this package to come!  It is Wednesday and I have yet to receive my package from Dr. Natura!  I am totally inpatient. Anyhoo, in the meantime I wrote to Dr. Natura about some of my symptoms.  And they suggested that I might have Candida due to Birthcontrol pills and such.  I hardly ever take antibiotics its maybe been 10 years, anyway they told me that my weight gain and bloated feeling after I eat is probably due to Candida.  They suggested I buy the Flora Protect product.  Anyone know anything about this so called candida and the flora protect to supply "good bacteria"?
Please post something....

Regarding candida, it's a fungus that's always present in the genital and intestinal tracts. The problem is when there is an overgrowth. For some, birth control pills and antibiotics can upset that balance leading to vaginal yeast infections and other problems. You could try their probiotic product or go to a local health food store and buy some acidophilus or multidophilus (it will have several strains of "good bacteria"). Someone at the store should be able to steer you in the right direction. Also plain yogurt which you can buy at nearly any grocery store contains live yogurt cultures and is helpful to balance the body. The plain yogurt is a better option than the small flavored yogurts that will have additional sugars which can feed the yeast problem.

I noticed a bloated feeling the first couple of weeks on the product but it resolved without doing what I've mentioned above. However, we do use acidophilus and enzymes to aid in digestion so they are good to have around. Some people will find they bloat with a diet change especially if they have a hard time digesting raw foods. Hope you do well with the product!

OK Day5....First of all I sprung out of bed at 6:45!!! Usually I fall out of bed around 7:45 really pissed off!  I woke this morning with so much energy I went straight to the bathroom for like 10 minutes and expelled liquidy BM's really stinky.  Afterwards I felt great, exercized for 20 minutes, vaccummed!  I feel great so far and its only 9:20.  I tried to mix the fiber with some oatmeal and it was ok for about two minutes then it was hard to swallow.  I really hate that liquorice taste that it has!  Today I went to 4 Peronil pills and a full scoop of fiber, yuck.  I don't mind it that much if I keep getting results like this!

When I read that you had mixed the fiber with oatmeal it gave me a good laugh! (I needed one today!)   I'm not wild about the taste of the fiber either so I use orange juice or a cranberry/rasberry blend. A friend would put it in her morning fruit smoothie. You could experiment with the portion. If you're not getting the results, you may need the full scoop of fiber. It may depend on your size. If a person weighs 300 pounds they could easily do two or three scoops a day, which my husband has done. I've just stuck with the single full scoop and drink fast and follow it with a big glass of water!

I also had occasional nights of cramping from the tea. I had to be very careful about my time so it didn't steep too long or I dumped part of it and diluted with more water.

Also noticed the morning energy surge versus the sitting comatose until I had drank a sufficient amount of coffee. We also went through some flu-like days as well likely from detoxing.

I'm not sure how things are in your part of the country but this spring a number of people in my area (Nebraska) have been fighting dizziness and some complained of vertigo. I had about a three week spell of the dizziness that seemed related to seasonal allergies. So taking some allergy pills and working some pressure points seem to finally break the trend until tonight. I noticed some dizziness return with an onslaught of rainy weather. Hopefully it will be brief. I mention it though because some symptoms may not be due to the products. Just a thought...

Day 16-  Well I started this program with a weight of 184 (with clothes and shoes, I don't have a scale at home so I have to weigh myself on the shipping scale at work which is 100%accurate) Today I weighed in at 177.5!  I feel most of the weight loss was in the last four days.  I haven't craved sweets like soda and icecream etc. I'm slightly concerned, though, The past two days I haven't had any kind of appetite.  Monday I had a cup of coffee, a toasted roll with butter, 5 celery sticks, 5 carrot sticks, and a cucumber with ranch dip, and four pancakes with no syrup.  Tuesday I had coffee, a toasted roll with butter the celery carrots and cucumber w/ ranch and maybe 5 spoonfools of collardgreen soup (I had to force myself to eat it)  My bm;s only started becoming solid on Saturday up until then they were liquidy and very loose.  On Monday it felt like I shat a baby.  It was the biggest BM I've ever had.  Yesterday I had my first rubbery BM, when I was going it felt much different so I decided to investigate.  It was about three inches long and rubbery and there were little rubbery pellets like tiny pieces of chicken liver. I know gross...but thats what colon cleansing is all about!!!  This morning I had a solid BM and a liquidy one, I'm going to try to eat more leafy greens today.
Also, I have noticed that I am sweating more and it has a rather stinky odor, I've been taking two showers a day to combat it. But I guess my body is getting rid of toxins.  I haven't had increased energy yet since the beginning, still waking up slow.  Ta ta for now.

Day 19- I skipped treatment this weekend. I took the tea last night (monday), this morning 2 BM's nothing unusual but I did see something on saturday morning that looked like a worm not sure but good riddens.  On Monday my wieght was down to 175.5 with clothes on from 177.5 last Wednesday. My apetite is definately decreased, I'm not missing snack time and dinner satisfies me for the rest of the night.  Today I had oatmeal for breakfast, and a salad for lunch. I'm trying to stay under 1200 calories every day.  Last week I had about 900 calories per day, so far this week I am a little more hungry, but maybe thats because I suspended treatment for two days.

Verolabrat,

How is it going? I am very interested how you finished with the colonix program. I enjoy reading your daily updates and how it has worked for you. I have used colonix for 8 years now and it has done amazingly well for me. The first time I did the program I did it for 3 months and I lost 10 lbs of built up junk from the colon. I know from what you have already written that you have had amazing results. But it is essential that you continue through and not skip days especially for the herbs to work effectively. Let us know how you are doing? Keep up the good work!

Yesterday I had maybe twenty potatoe chips, a veggie burger, and one grilled sardine.  Thats it!  I'm not complaining though and  I seem to be losing weight at a normal rate 3-5 lbs a week so I guess I'm doing ok, it just seems weird that my usual blackhole appetite is totally gone.

Even though you aren't hungry you need to make sure you eat enough that your body doesn't go into starvation mode ... I used to wonder why I couldn't lose weight when I was hardly eating anything at all... until last year in January when I started the Curves 6 week challenge and ended up losing almost 30 lbs ... going from a size 15/16 to 8/10 (198 lbs to 170 lbs) ... by eating ... the first week of the program was a decrease of food to 1200 calories .. for me it was an iincrease... the second and consecutive weeks I ate 1600 calories a day and worked my way up to 2400 ... and I continued losing weight even eating that much !!!  I will NEVER go back to not eating again   I didn't deprive myself of anything, I cut back on the really bad stuff ... everything in moderation ..
I'm doing the Colonix before moving on to the next round of 'downsizing.  Good luck to you

Very wise and good advise. Isn't it funny that we think that we need to eat less to lose the weight when it is actually the opposite. I know that eating smaller meals throughout the day has helped me drop weight as well. Congratulations on your loss Fyzer! Great job!

Great to hear from you and your personal success! You are so right when you say that you "have to make a firm commitment". I believe that relates to anything you do for yourself and in life. If you are not committed you will not see the results you desire.
Thank you for your up date and all the best!
