To get a colon cleanse or not to?

[Saria]

I have been fasting with the goal to remove toxins and old stuff...I don't think it would be wise for me to fast longer than 7 days, though. I havent been using enemas, only celtic sea salt and occasionally smooth move tea before bed. Should I get a colon cleanse at the end of the fast? If i were to, would I need multipes? I've read about people needed 4 colonics before anything serious really came out. I know there's stuff in my body just waiting to come out but it's just not coming out.

Lots of people manage really very well without colonics. It's not so much whether you need it as whether you want it. I doubt that you actually need it. You may want it and you may find it helpful but you should be able to manage just fine without.

As to needing 4 before anything serious comes out ... that just sounds like someone lining up a bunch of paying work.

Do colonics strip your body of needed bacteria?

Colonics are an amazing boost to your health. They clean where normal body functions do not (in this world we live in) and have incredible results.

If you feel like they might strip the body, take probiotics afterwards and lots of water. For me, they only stripped alot of crud and made me feel GREAT!

How many did you get?

You can get one or several, it is up to you.
I have had several professional ones and also do home colonics myself.

So, you want a colon cleanse? I know I sure want that gross stuff out of me! I have had similar experiences.

Yes, I started enemas today and I plan to do two a day for today and tomorrow, then go to the therapist on Saturday. It is kind of gross but I'm really happy to get this stuff out and become cleaner!!
