Just an added update for anyone interested in the above mentioned show on Animal Planet. I was checking for the next showing and found a page that lists when it runs and offers an email reminder to anyone interested in seeing it. The next airings are Feb 22, 23 and 26.

Be warned, it's not for the faint of heart but may give additional understanding of parasites.

Thanks for all your input!  It is definetely helping me shape my opinion - oh and just to clear something up i am confident that the testimonials are from real people!  But the only real concern I have is if the colonix is creating all the bad stuff that's coming out of your body instead of cleaning the bad stuff thats already there.  I guess natural medicine and conventional (?) medicine will always have arguements on which one is better - both sides seem to say that the other is bad for a lot of issues.  When I told the same nurse about using ear candles she had only negative things to say, but i felt great and I know many people who have benefited from ear candling and no one who has suffered from it.  I think it is very important to reseach something before trying!

Thanks again guys!

I keep thinking about the whole “colon cleansing is a scam” point of view…some of the “evidence” is based on the fact that a lot of programs include psyllium which is a bulking agent, and if left in a glass it gets all glutinous and rubbery and takes the shape of the container it is in (either a glass or our bowels) just like the supposed stuff people get out of their bowels…so, it must be fake. But I’ve tried several fibre supplements and none of them worked like Colonix. I’ve taken other fibre supplements for months on end and had none of the weird rubbery stuff come out of me.

As far as the theory that our bodies are perfect and perfectly able of cleaning themselves so there is no need whatsoever to ever use a colon cleanser or do a detox of any kind, consider this: A dishwasher is a self-cleaning machine, in theory, it should never need to be cleaned. For the most part that is correct. As long as one pre-rinses most of the really bad gunk off and uses a good dishwashing formula, the dishwasher does stay pretty clean inside. However, if one loads really gunky dishes, greasy pots and pains, or uses a cheaper detergent you find the inside of your dishwasher doesn’t stay clean…the filter gets clogged, slimy and yucky. After a while the glasses look cloudy and not clean. If one keeps up the routine of bad maintenance then the dishwasher becomes really inefficient at cleaning itself and the dishes are still dirty but in a different sort of way.

Yes, our bodies are fantastic at self-cleaning, but we do not help by not chewing properly, or eating lesser quality foods. If we only ever at real food, not highly processed, preservative filled, fake crap we probably would never need a colon cleansing. However, like most Americans, I have had more than my fair share of nuclear-colored snack foods that resembled plastic more closely than actual food. In fact, like most curious children, I’ve probably eaten plastic, or play dough or glue once or twice in my crazy lifetime. I’ve also had my fair share of medications coated or filled with all sorts of not-quite-digestible ingredients including shellac, silicon, and wax…yummy! It makes me feel so much healthier just thinking about it.

If all I ever ate was good food, properly prepared I would never need a colon cleanse, but I don’t always eat properly…so, I believe my body needs extra help sometimes.

Of course, I am also one of those wacky people who buy a dishwasher cleaner and run an empty dishwasher with nothing but the cleaner, to keep it clean and working properly…so, perhaps I’m just crazy!

Best of health to you!

Most nurses I know are among the unhealthiest people I know, and most doctors are suspicious of anything herbal, rather than pharmaceutical, so I think that I will rely on anecdotal evidence and personal experience for my info, not just one "expert" opinion.
All our major organs become damaged, or toxic with repeated exposure to things it doesn't like, so why not the colon, the major channel for toxin release in the body?
Lungs hang onto tar even after a person has quit smoking, arteries become plugged with fatty deposits, skin remains damaged after past skin damage, liver/gallbladder gets stones after years of lifestyle factors, so it makes sense to me that a long, winding, convoluted pipe that normally channels waste is likely to become gunked up.
I think that a bunch of people leaving posts like this, with nothing to gain whether you do a colon cleanse or not, is a pretty reliable source of info.

Bettypoop, I'm sorry your not getting the results you were hoping for. Since your personal thread indicates you are relatively active and have a pretty good diet, your reaction may not be as profound initially. Some people have used the program 3-5 weeks before seeing more obvious changes. And a few people don't seem to notice much of anything. Not unlike various meds used to treat a condition. Some people do great on one pill, others are allergic to it, another considers it useless for them. It doesn't mean the product is worthless, it just doesn't work for them.

There is a caution about not drinking too much water and diluting the effects of the fiber. Usually 64 oz is adequate.

I personally feel the benefits I received from the program were related to clearing out the gunk and the added affect of the many herbs added to the fiber aside from the Paranil. Many who have tried other fibers don't get the same results they get from Colonix. That's why my husband continues to use it.

Foody-2-shoes: Thanks for your input! I agree with your assessment of body damage. Add to that prolonged stress  and sneaky chronic viral loads lurking in many people it would seem  likely we'll  all need extra help now and then.

Wish you all wellness!

Just a thought...I just started the fiber/tea yesterday, so I to am like many of you looking to better my body and clean out the crap that I eat. I love the dishwasher analogy, but I have a even closer one......A baby! Born with a healthy, unscathed, unaltered digestive system.
Anyone who has changed a babies diaper for one day you'll understand where I'm coming from. You'd be amazed at what the body is born to do, can and will do. Everthing you eat effects you. Being the mother of 2, and having one thats only 18 months, this kid poops 3 plus times a day, has tons of energy and eats only whole foods.  I am amazed how what he eats shows in his "healthy poop". But what scared  me and opened my eyes  was what happened this last week when he was sick with a cold. His doctor suggested I give him something with electrolytes( ie.gatorade,pedilyte etc.) so  with much apprehension, but wanting to follow a peditricians "trained" advice, I  opted for grape gartorade since he loves grape juice.  OMG  after his first round of gatored my son had bright green, blue, purple poop~I have never seen such a color like it~Thanks to the many variety of dyes I made him ingest.  I was so disgusted. I thought, what  we are putting in our bodies ,if not truly ALL natural, is beyond scary, it's almost criminal, and  that companies could put such toxic stuff in what we consume and sell it without a warning label.  Anways in short, are bodies are born with a heathy digestive system and over the years we break them down, and they don't function properly~We are what we eat, and my baby anaolgy is true science/proof to me that I've done my body wrong. I figure by doing this program, it won't hurt me, it's natural, all I want is to get myself back on track like a baby~he eats then poops, eats then poops~what goes in does come out, and he eats very healthy natural food~I just wonder where all my crap is because it hardly ever comes out? I'm sick of unheathy, dyed, toxic chemicals~so I hope this system works to get me back on the right track, with the added benefit of myself eating better, consuming a healthy amount of water, excercise. What can you lose by adding healthy things into your diet and life, how can this program hurt~it's all natural.

One dog: Again, I'm not saying that the fibre isn't taking out gunk with it as it makes it's way out. I'm saying that I think the BULK of the feces is new matter and not "leftovers" that was in the colon. You can think otherwise, that's fine. 

All I can go against is my own experience. I'm on Day 31 now. I noticed depending on my diet and water intake throughout the day, I either get totally normal looking poo or ones connected by the stingy kinda link in most pictures.  All I know is that the daily tea did NOT work for me at all and i'm doing better without taking it each day.

Let me start by saying that I just purchased the system for my wife and I. We should be receiving it next week some time and I will definitely be keeping a journal on this site. I purchased this product based on a review from a trusted and pretty weird friend.

I asked him about the long mucus stuff that people were showing pictures of and I brought up the point about the product causing it. I am in agreement with him that the product itself causes most of the mucus strains in the poop. Now that being said and as stated above, he is a weird dude. He took one out of the toilet and proceeded to dissect it (I was not present if you were wondering). He told me that it was very jelly like but in the big parts it had what looked like hard and old poop (I love that word and I am 30 years old heh). So even though we do not thing the jelly/gluey like substance is coming from his body, but from the product itself, it IS carrying a bunch of stuff it gathered along the way. So I am satisfied with that assumption.

Parasites, we do not live in a third world country. The parasites in our bodies are more then likely microscopic. We take in tons of antibiotics in almost any meat we eat; I would be very surprised if I saw a real tape worm or any other worm come out of my body. However, I have no doubt that many will be excreted during this process in a microscopic form.

Now to the reason I decided to go with this program. One, it is an easy regiment to follow. Two, I like the fact it has a glue type substance to grab onto miscellaneous poop (Did I mention I love that word?). Three and most importantly is the shear amount of poop (Again heh).

My daily diet consists of this almost exactly. In the morning I drink and eat no food. For lunch I will eat one of the following items; $6 Burger combo from Carls Jr., A Large Peppercorn Prime Rib Sub with a side of Chili from Quiznoes, or a Double bacon Cheese Burger from Zorba’s. For Dinner I eat Red meat of some kind with potatoes and corn, sometimes I have asparagus. During the day I drink Iced un-sweeted tea.

Now given that is my daily regiment EVERY day, I only poop () 2 times for every 3 days on average I would think. Sometimes once a day and sometimes once every 2 days, so I think 2 out of 3 days is a good average. Now my friend goes 2 – 3 times a day all healthy sizes.

All of my input and very little output while he eats far more healthy than me and has triple my output. He also noticed that his gut has gotten far smaller. We attribute this to the amount of poop () no longer residing in his gut. By the way, his diet has not changed and he increased his output by 1 – 2 a day. The solid matter (Not the glue stuff) had to come from somewhere it did not come from a spoonful of fiber and a couple pills.

My expectations:

•    At 5’8” 225lbs and a gut that feels solid but large, a loss of waist size is expected.
•    I expect more energy as I have absolutely 0 energy right now (Do not lecture me about my crappy diet, I know it is real bad)
•    I am also doing the Toxinout system, and I exect it to help clear out my liver a bit.
•    Become more regular (I have tried adding fiber to my diet but it has not done anything special). I have hopes for this mixture as I am not looking for a laxative.
•    Hoping for healthier skin, (I think this will happen due to the water intake and detox combined)
•    Less stomach problem (I have a bit of gas as of this last year and I am not happy with it)

That is my take and I will keep you updated.

Ray
