Hi, I just started the colonix yesterday.  Nothing much to report on this, day 2, other than a slightly larger than normal bowel movement this morning.  Oh, and the Kleri tea really did give me a good night's sleep.

I have a pretty healthy diet with not much junk food, but do enjoy a glass of wine in the evening and don't want to give that up.  Do you think that will be a problem?

I've been suffering a lot lately from gas and bloating, constipation alternating with horrid soft sticky stools and a constant feeling of fullness even when I haven't eaten for hours, so I have high expectations that this program will help.  Bit scared of experiencing those strange stools that everyone seems to report, but the idea of cleaning out all that toxic build up is great.

Hi.  I'm considering the Colonix treatment and was wondering if it was safe to do if I have chronic tonsillitis, sinus and ear issues?  I can't seem to find any other holistic treatment that works, and the doctors just want to do surgery without recommending anything else.  I have a whole slew of symptoms (oily skin, hair falling out/breakage, candidiasis, fatigued all the time, vision problems- especially dry eye, depression, etc.) that have been been catastrophic to my social and professional life, and I'm at my wits end.  I'm VERY apprehensive about giving in to any sort of surgery or any more antibiotics at this point, for fear that my situation will worsen, or I'll just plum die.

Some background:  I have been terrible to my body in the past diet-wise and quite sedentary.  For the past year, I've made it a point to exercise more, walk daily and eat healthier foods like fruits and veggies (versus the processed crap I used to eat all the time- now, it's only occasionally) and I notice a huge difference in the way my body reacts when I treat my body better.  I've come a long way over the past year... essentially going it alone even after going to several doctors that have tried to give me meds I was scared to take (I know too much about pharmaceuticals to give in to a life.. or death.. of them.) and have been slowly working my way into the "alternative" and "holistic" treatment routes.  I KNOW there is an issue with my digestive system... I've confirmed that I have a leaky gut and my bowel movements are unpredictable.  Albeit, within the past few months or so, they've been quite regular (once in the morning, sometimes during the middle of the day, and generally once at night).

I'm wondering, with all these issues, if it would be safe for me to take Colonix?  Does anyone have any suggestions?? 

I've just started working on energy therapy (EFT) at the moment with my psychologist as well.  I'm thinking I might hold out until I've grasped the EFT and gotten some issues dealt with before I try Colonix, but in all honesty, I'm just tired of physically feeling like crap all the time... thus am eager to get started on this.

Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
TooShy

Dear TooShy,

I"m glad you've been able to make some changes with diet and lifestyle.

It sounds like you may not have much to lose to try Colonix. If you've read many of the comments in this forum you'll find the response is varied. I think you need to be prepared for an exacerbation of some symptoms. It seems to be common with detoxing that some of the very symptoms you wish to be rid of may temporarily worsen. That's why a month isn't long enough for most of us. Two to three months on the initial cleanse helps clear the body of the years of toxic build-up, if your system can tolerate it.

You don't indicate what type of surgery was recommended but you mentioned some sinus/tonsil  issues. If they are related to a chronic viral load versus an external irritant like allergies, food or environmental, you may not be as responsive.

Wish you the best and if you start the program, start a separate thread - so we can follow your journey! And hang in there!

Hi and welcome to the forum mamabelly.

If you're having problems with the fiber, try cutting it back a little bit and see if that helps. Try to follow the instructions and recommendations exactly as described (no alcohol, coffee, make sure you're drinking enough water, etc.) and be patient.

To start a thread:

1. Go to the main Colonix forum area here - http://www.coloncleansingforum.com/f4-C … atura.html

That's it!

Looking forward to following your progress...

Hey Alexza, welcome to the forums. In my opinion, the most important things with the Colonix program is to stay on track (as far as the instructions go) and be patient as you're waiting for results.

Keep us posted!
