Detoxifying the Body...

[elvisman99]

Are there any benefits from taking the Whole Body Cleansings kits they sell in GNC to detoxify the body or is just bullshit? And if they are worth taking could anyone suggest a certain brand or kit..

Well to be honest my gf has purchased a kit by Enzymatic called WHOLE BODY CLEANSE @ GNC and it claims to Cleanse, Detoxify, and Rejuvenate and provide you with regular bowel movements.. Now my gf works in a nightclub in A.C. and drinks like 3 nights a week and went from 115 to 135 so some shot chic at the club told her the great benefits of this and how it helps keep her weight down. I wanted to know if anybody else beleives in these kits and are they deemed legit? Thanks

There's several things you can do to detox the body, but personally i don't eat anything for about 3-4 days straight, just drink water and green tea (the real stuff, not the taste good stuff) and sometimes i'll even go get a colonic or two. By the way i do this about once ever four months.

This is a classic case of treating the symptom and not the cause. No offense bro but if she is gaining weight its from drinking so much and her diet...Why not just change those bad habits now while you still can. Don't waste your money on something that will just treat a symptom, find the source of the problem and fix it there.

AGREED

THIS "CLEANSING' THEORY IS SO WHACKED. CLEANS YOUR BODY OF WHAT TOXINS? PLEASE EXPLAIN THESE TOXINS TO ME AND HOW THEY ARE EFFECTING ME UNTIL I CLEANS MYSELF OF THEM. MY ADVICE, TELL THE GF TO QUIT EATING SO MUCH FOOD AND EAT MORE FIBER.

 

[FordTurboDiesel]

Yeah...I should add that what I am on is a colon cleanser. Not a whole body detox.

You can have about up to 5 pounds of impacted waste sitting in your stomach that releases toxins into the body.

OK

SHOW ME THE LITERATURE ON THIS 5 POUNDS AND THESE TOXINS AND WHAT CAUSES IT. WHAT ARE THESE TOXINS SPECIFICALLY AND HOW ARE THEY HARMING ME. I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHERE SPECIFICALLY IN THE STOMACH THESE ARE FOUND.

This is pretty common knowledge guys.

Your intestinal tract and colon is just loaded with decaying matter, parasites, etc, etc.
I won't go hog wild getting into it cause it's not secret information. Here's a site to give you a start.

If you don't think this stuff can build up....take a good look at Elvis. His colon weighed in at a measily 60lbs when his autopsy was done.

Hm, speak for yourself buddy

Im pretty sure i dont have any parasites in my colon
you can test that for yourself, take a tab of Vermox and see what happens.
If you have any you will see it in a couple of hours

How would you know?

It's not like a bunch of crabs are going to come running out of your ass. Well.....maybe YOUR ass! LOL!

You can't see them.

I guess most people just think bacteria and decay only happens outside the body and not on the inside.....
I won't argue the principle. It common medical knowledge.

 

[KillerStack]

It common medical knowledge.

Find a doctor, not one affiliated with selling products, that will say that you need to "detox" your body with a colon cleanse. Are these colon cleanses used in medicine, for the reasons stated in this thread (i.e. not before surgery etc)?

Cant you read?
I told you take a tab of Vermox, it causes lysis and death of helminth parasites in your colon (if they are present)
Next time you take a shit, you will see dead worms in your crap (IF YOU HAD THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE)
If you didnt, you will not see anything.

As for common medical knowledge let me inform you that there are symbiotic bacteria living in your colon, which just so happen to prevent growth of other potentially harmful strains as well as fungi.
If again your bacterial flora was screwed up and you had different, harmful strains living in your colon you would develop a condition called dysbacteriosis (sp) and believe me you would know about it.
Obviously processes of decay happen in your colon, but they are not harmful in any way AS LONG AS you have NORMAL BACTERIAL FLORA. Which most of us do.

Im not saying you, "NEED" to. You can do whatever you want. Everyone's lifestyle is different. Perhaps you don't need one......but there are people who can benefit from them.
I wouldn't recommend doing something like this on a consistent basis because obviously your body needs to function on it's own. I think you could find good information and bad on it. For me, it has worked, and I know others as well. I also know some people that didn't get much out of it. It all depends on what you use. Some stuff is just shit.....and your body is different than everyone else's.

If you can understand the concept of plaque accumulating in your veins and artieries, you should be able to understand it can happen in your intestines and colon.

Cant you read?

No I can't.
Explain to me how I would see a micro-organism?
You know something I don't, so tell me.

...and Im not even saying all people do. From your post though, you obviously agree it can happen.
