    Colon cleansing is at best useless and at worst harmful. It is a practice based on pseudo-science and not endorsed by any real scientists or doctors. Your intestines are the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and they do a good job of cleaning themselves.

    Yes, I do know some about colon cleansing. It is a great way to detox your body. Celebrities use this a lot. They call it the "Lemonade Diet". It can help you lose up to 20 pounds, look younger, ease chronic pain, cleanse your body of internal waste, and boost your energy levels in 10 days but...

    It is very hard, and most people don't last a day doing it. (The first 3 days are the hardest, once you get past those your body adapts to the cleanse, and it gets easier)

    However, I did find a solution for that as well. Click on this link to learn more...

    When I had a colonoscopy, they had me do a colon cleanse.

    Liquid diet for a day, then a bottle of phosphate laxative that you can buy at a drug store.

    Showed me pics of my large intestine and colon. Not a speck of anything in there!

    Good luck.

    PS. Btw, your body does an excellent job of keeping itself clean inside, even when abused(cleansed) by it's owner. All you gotta does is eat nutrionally with an emphasis on fiber.

    Any of these special "diets" out there are fads. From the Atkins diet, to the "lemon juice" diet, to this diet, it all deprives your body of essential nutrients. There is no other way to maintain good health than to eat a variety of whole foods. Did you know that the fiber contained in vegetables and whole grains like oatmeal (research beta glucan) cleanse your body including your colon? THAT is where you should aim your efforts. Not this "diet" that is based on "research" done by biased companies and their "scientists". You can very well take acai tablets, but acai berry extract contains a lot of phytochemicals that fight free radicals in your body. They are just like blueberries, cranberries, etc. which are ALL good for you and increase longevity and wellbeing. But you should never rely on a tablet for better health. Nothing ever replaces healthy exercise and a balanced diet. EDIT: No, it will not help you lose weight. Losing weight properly is simply having a small caloric deficit that will stimulate weight loss over time. Any weight loss that is quick is not done properly and eats away at muscle tissue in addition to fat. IN the end, you will feel tired and unhealthy. No pill will help you to lose weight. The only way to do it will involve this small caloric deficit.

    Since I started to work out I was looking for a good weight loss product (I only wanted something 100% natural). I was on a diet but I felt that I needed a little "help" so I decided to try this great detoxification colon cleanse and I had fantastic results. You can check their website at

    http://www.diet-happy.us/ , they give you a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling.

    YES, don't do it!

    you body cleanses itself, unless u r going for a colonoscopy, u don't need it!

    and don't believe what is said on the net about years and years of stuff stuck inside ur intestines, and don't believe the gross pics they show. you eat food, it gets digested, nutrition gets absorbed, waste gets ejected.. as simple as that!

    i've done it. my girl has done it. Some brands are better than others. It depends on your body. Find a local herbal store or organic gorcery store and ask them about it. tell them its your first time and go from there.

    I like stuff by a brand call NOW.
