Colon Cleanse Reviews

I took 3 sips of these tea, and I nearly gagged. I think it tastes spicy, like nutmeg. I can't stand the taste or smell of nutmeg, so I can't drink this tea. Just my two cents.

I realize the importance of good health and to clear your system of toxins, but twice i have tried to drink this tea and both times it has cause me kidney pain.

In general, I hate tea. I have tried so many different kinds and have never found one I liked. But after trying this, I LOVED it! I started eating healthier about a week ago and bought a pack of the Detox tea planning on pinching my nose and gulping it down solely for the health benefits. But I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much I liked it. Not only does it taste good, but immediately after my first mug I felt more energetic and strangely my vision seemed to be clearer. I will definitely be keeping this on hand in the future!

I am a big fan of Yogi teas. I drink a cup of DeTox tea every morning. I also drink their Skin DeTox tea, their Stomach Ease tea, their Green tea and their Antioxidant tea.

this is an company and all their products are best. This is caffeine free and makes u feel good after having it. I live on this stuff. i drink it whole day at work, everyday.

I love dandelion tea and this is one of the best! Helps with detoxifying the liver. I personally love the taste and pour it over ice with a splash of lemonade for iced tea during summer. Amazon has a great price. Will continue buying.

I really love this product, my body feels so much better, light, healthy and more energetic. Taste at first was not all good but after a while love the taste.

I would definitely recommend any tea from Traditional Medicinals. Dandelion tea is a very nice, a bit bitter with a nice roast flavor. But be aware, you might spend the night in the restroom, it's kind of laxative. I think that's the reason it is recommended to those who suffer from hemorrhoids. If you already have regular bowel activity, it can be exhausting.

I love this tea very much. It smells good and it tastes good. I drink a cup every morning before breakfast and before going to bed. It has helped me to get rid of a lot of excess water....I feel so much lighter and I have lost 10 lbs since I began drinking it a month ago. It's especially good for the liver and for the kidneys...it makes you pee a lot, which is very good. I recommend this tea to everyone.

I really enjoy this tea. Odd, but does have a coffee flavor. That's OK with me as I am a coffee lover.

I'm nursing so i had to carefully read the ingredients of this tea before buying, but all the herbs used are safe for breastfeeding moms. I really cant say if the look of my skin has actually improved by drinking this tea, since i also recently started using arcona skin care stuff also that i order on amazon...but i can say that it's one of the most delicious tea's i've had!! Green tea has so many health benefits, and just a little caffiene so i drink it often. i've also learned that squeezing fresh lemon in your green tea can boost it's benefits. so i drink this tea with a squirt of fresh lemon off my tree. also this tea is sweet b/c it has stevia. so you really dont need to add anything to sweeten. Yogi is my favorite brand of tea and this skin detox tea is a must have. as far as my skin is concerned, i do notice a fresher glow, that could be the skin care line i've been using or it could be the tea, or it could be a combination of the two..who knows! but i would buy this tea even if it had no skin benefits simply b/c it tastes so good.

I am a fan of the Yogi Teas. I think they have combined the best ingredients for good drinking teas with healthy benefits at a reasonable cost.

I used this product for a flare-up of a chronic eye disease called uveitis. It's the inflammation of the uvea. For the past 18 years, my occasional, yet painful flares have only been successfully treated by steriod eye drops. I recently learned of tumeric. For some reason my inflammation last spring did not respond to the eye drops. I tried tumeric after stumbling on it in a google search. In less than 3 weeks, my symptoms were completely gone and I was off the eye drops. I have never experienced a remission as rapid. I only took 3 pills per day. After speaking to a rep in Vitamin Shoppe, I learned that all brands are not created equal. New Chapter apparently has a unique extraction process that makes it more potent. Of course amazon has the best prices!

Join [...] if you really want to know..... This refers to the softgel "Turmeric (rhizome) 400 mg; 80 mg supercritical extract (45% turmmerones-36 mg) and 320 mg ethanolic extract (11% curcuminoids-35.2 mg); Other Ingredients: Olive oil-extra virgin, maltodextrin, silica, and yellow beeswax: Our premium softgel capsules are prepared without any chemical solvents and are prion free."

Within a few days, had less aches & pains...had tried less expensive brands...they did not do the job. Will purchase again & again & recommend for arthritis pain.

I haven't opened the package yet, but I am sure it will be fine. Turmeric is essential for heart health and as a preventative against cancer. I take one every other day alternating with flax seed oil capsules. Both of these can thin the blood if you take too much, which is why I alternate. I heard about Turmeric on Coast to Coast AM - host, George Noory

I have been taking Turmeric Force for two and a half months, and while I have experienced no ill effects, I don't notice any positive changes either. I will continue to take the supplement, however, as turmeric has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in studies.

I have purchased this product before from amazon.com and have always been satisfied with it and the service of the provider.

I have been taking this product on and off for about 8 years or more. I started out with the Nature's Secret 5-day fasting cleanse. Having never done a fasting cleanse before, I can tell you that the detox can make you feel ill with mild flu-like symptoms. After the five days I can also tell you that you feel like you can walk on water. It is truly amazing. The multi-herb and multi-fiber pills are all natural and over time have given me great health benefits. I am 58 years old and I take no other pills. I am very healthy and look like I am in my 40's. I attribute it to these pills, not drinking tap water, and eating fruits and vegetables daily. I never use caffeine in anything. The multi-fiber and multi-herb pills will always be a part of my health program. The problem with many of the reviews I have read here is that some people do not give it a chance, or their body a chance to rid the buildup of toxins we breath, eat, and absorb from our artificial environments. Of all products I have used, this product is by far the most beneficial. Thank you Nature's Secret.

The ingredients in the this product are really impressive with one major caveat. The chief ingredient in one of the daily tablets is Cascara Sagrada powder (bark), a laxative herb used most commonly in natural medicine to treat constipation. According to The Physician's Desk Reference for Herbal Medicine, stimulating laxatives such as this one are NOT recommended for use for more than 1-2 weeks. Definitely consult your doctor before going this route - not only is cascara sagrada an active ingredient but also you will be taking it morning and night for 30 days on this program. It may or may not work for some people, but for a good deal of people, there will be very unpleasant side effects that include diarrhea, loose stools, abdominal pain, and intense continual intestinal spasms. You really have to be willing to pay the price to see if you're one of many who are intolerant to Cascara sagrada. If you are, as the package and leaflet state itself, you must stop use immediately. It is worthwhile to look at other comparable options that contain a different laxative herb with perhaps lesser side effects. Other herbal laxatives used to flush the colon and release waste include dandelion root, rhubarb root, butternut bark, flaxseed, red raspberry, senna, and barberry bark (not to be used during pregnancy). Another thing to consider is that unfortunately the fiber for this cleanse comes in a tablet form, which many would argue is considerably less effective than in powder form. I got around this by adding more ground flaxseed and psyllium seed husks to my beverages. This product is widely available at natural health food stores which is why we bought it and took the leap of faith. For my man, this product was tolerable and he kept with it for three weeks. He didn't have the negative side effects that I had which included strong continual (and audible) spasms in my abdominal area and really bad diarrhea all day long for every day I was on the cleanse. I love the idea of 'cleansing' so I gave it a good faith effort to see if the symptoms would subside. It meant being near the bathroom a lot, but I was hopeful to see things improve. On the ninth day, after re-reading that tiny disclaimer on the product package about Cascara sagrada, I stopped the program. It is VERY important to know that if you experience all-day diarrhea or loose stools at all with this product, STOP! It may seem counter-intuitive, as 'cleansing' is meant to remove a lot of retained debris in the colon, but it does much more harm than good. I hope this helps someone out there who has either started the program and cannot explain the intestinal mayhem taking place, or someone who may be ready to jump and try the product. Conceptually it is an excellent detoxification program. Short of an ingredient alteration or two, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this program. If you have guts of steel and are willing to pay to simply try it out, I wish you the best on your cleansing journey and I hope you are one of the lucky ones!

This stuff is not working for me at all. I was hoping to get a good cleanse, and get regular in the process. But I'm on day 9 and I have less bowel movements now than I did before, and I've been drinking more than 64ozs of water a day. I'm sure I've totally cleansed my bladder, because I'm constantly going to do #1 because of all the water. But I'm really tired of feeling like I'm backed up. I didn't feel this way before I started taking these pills, so I don't know what the heck the problem is. I'm up to the maximum amount of pills it says to take (3 of each pill 2x a day), and still I may have a bowel movement every other day if I'm lucky. I don't eat red meat, pork, etc. I have limited my cheese intake, and NO fatty foods, like the pamphlet said, and still, I feel like I have wasted my time and my money when I could have been taking something that actually works! I'm very disappointed and definitely would NOT recommend this product. 6/11- It's now day 12 and I am constipated and off to get some Miralax. I wish this stuff would have worked for me. (DANG IT!)

OMG!!!! I bought this product because it was recommended by the salesman at the Vitamin Shop. I went home ate dinner at 6:30 and took one of each pill about 7:30. About 8:00 I reviewed the reviews online. The reviews stated there would be cramping. Cramping is an understatement (in my case at least)!!! At about 9:15 or so it started out with cramping and then to contracting. I was contracting for hours!!! I felt as though I was having my daughter all over again and she's 16. I quickly looked on the back of the box to see what was in it. I found that the pills contained Cascara sagrada which has a long history of traditional use by Native americans. Cascara sagrada contains compounds called anthroquinones, which are responsible for cascara's powerful laxative effects. Anthraquinones trigger contractions in the colon, called peristalsis, which causes the urge to have a bowel movement. I didn't sleep well through out the night. The cramping calmed down through out the course of the night. I woke up at about 5:30am with very light cramping and am still having them now. They are tolerable at least at this point. My bowels are usually regular (right after I eat). However I haven't gone since my last meal and I hope to go soon. It's now 9am and still haven't passed my bowels. Well what do you know! As I'm typing this review I went to the bathroom. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Bout time! I can't give this product a bad review because I've only taken it for one day. I'm putting this information out there to make you aware of the side affect, to give you info on what causes the cramping/contracting and to give you a time based off of what I've experiences after one pill. I will try it again because I am so focused on trying to do this cleanse. What I would like to know if someone could answer this for me. How long did you have your cramping/contracting? Was it for a couple days, few days, week or longer? Thank you and Good Luck to all that are using this product including me. Be Blessed! Enjoy your day!

The chair is to small, so just use a regular size beer chair. The instructions are non existant when it comes to setting up the steam machine. It takes a while to get hot but once its ready, its GREAT I love it! Its actualy hard to spend more then 40 min in there. Have already recommended it to other friends that have asked about it.

This has got to be the worst product I have ever purchased online! The steamer is like a toy, it doesn't steam the tent! The zippers on the tent were broken and wouldn't zip up and down easily and the chair is so fragile, I don't think it can support too much weight! This is the worst product ever, please don't waist your time and money!

This book is helpful, informative, understanding and sympathetic for those who have low milk supply. One of my favorite statements from the author is that while some of her suggestions may seem unusual, she is targeting mothers who fall out of the "normal statistics". If you have been down hearted by lack of or low supply, I highly recommend this book. It will educate you in many ways that can help or that may be hindering your supply. Don't give up! You're not alone :) It encouraged me to know that the author struggled with low supply with her first two babies and had to supplement. After researching milk supply foods and herbs (etc) from around the world, she was then able to exclusively breast feed her next two babies until they were one.

I bought Mother Food for myself as I am a soon to be mommy and found this book to be more than what I expected. It answered all my questions and curiosities about breast feeding health. It should go hand in hand with the La Leche League's The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. They both give power and knowledge to mothers while breast feeding. It's a wonderful guide on staying healthy and covers other topics that may come up during breast feeding including, allergies, colic, depression, and weightloss. You also get holistic recipes and a list of herbal remedies of what to use and when not to use. A great overall book to reference to and pass around to other mothers.

This book is an absolute MUST READ for breastfeeding moms. Not only it gives a great advice on lactogenic foods, it also has great advice on how to improve your diet and the quality of your milk. Excellent!!!

Excellent. Should be required reading for all pregnant/breastfeeding women. Wish I found it months ago.

It's been over a decade since I've nursed and this topic is a slightly on the edge of my writing and consulting areas so why did I buy the book? I ran across the title accidentally and guess I was mostly interested in how someone could write a whole text about fenugreek, a few other herbs, and a couple of drugs. Maybe I just wanted to see if the book was just silliness. Well, zowie, even if you've been consulting in lactation for many years and read "all" the books, there's a multitude of interesting and juicy meat in this book (and there's a lot more than "a few other herbs"). She covers a wide array of pertinent topics, with an excellent understanding of the current spectrum of maternal, lactation professional, and science knowledge (each of which often seem to have large gaps between them), and adds lots of insightful and fun historic and anthropologic information along the way. She's raised my own consciousness in my own favorite directions: just how intimately and distinctly our food choices affect us. Something to bring to the beach for pleasure reading if you have ANY interest in infant feeding; really. A must-read for lactation professionals, and for breastfeeding mothers with any challenges at all. My dream to see pediatricians read.

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (08/10) "Spagyric (sp-gîr'k), is a name given to the production of herbal medicines using alchemical procedures. These procedures involve fermentation, distillation and the extraction of mineral components from the ash of the plant." (Wikipedia) Alchemical medicine is an ancient practice that has slowly worked its way into present day use and is rapidly gaining momentum in the 21st century. In the first half of "Alchemical Medicine for the 21st Century" Clare Goodrick-Clarke gives us a concise look into the theory and philosophy behind spagyric alchemy for better understanding of this ancient art of healing. She explains that "Spagyric medicine captures the full spectrum of healing potential in plants, including their remarkable empathy with human emotions. Through it, the soul and body can be healed." (p. 94) The second half of the book explains how to make spagyric essences and how to use them. Goodrick-Clarke gives the best times to harvest the herbs (e.g., during full moon the sap sinks to the roots, therefore, any root herbs should be harvested at that time.) She also suggests using mostly dried herbs for the tinctures. She also gives tips on proper drying of the herbs. Each plant in the book has a profile and therapeutics. For example, (and one of my favorites) the Calendula (marigold) is seen in many gardens, on plates of high-star restaurants, and has medicinal properties. Its highest properties are being styptic and a good wound cleanser. It can be used on burns, stings, and skin irritation and internally for ulcers, digestive issues, blood building after loss, antibacterial needs, mouthwash, or gargle. It is contradicted for internal use by pregnant women, however, can be used externally by them. I encourage interested readers to choose "Alchemical Medine for the 21st Century" over others. It is one of the best on the market to give a concise informative compilation of facts and suggestions on how to use the healing properties of plants. This isn't new information, it's ancient wisdom that is finally surfacing in the 21st century.
