john e asked:


I see ads on TV for cleansing but I can’t seem to think they are a scam. Are there vitamins or herbs that can help with chronic constipation or cleaning the colon?

   Yellow dock…good for cleansing of all the “bad stuff” in your body. It comes in powder or pill form. I highly suggest the pill over the powder as the powder doesn’t have the greatest taste.

   For chronic constipation if you have access to
   indian stores buy triphala powder which contains no lead
   or arsenic or mercury. It is powder of three dried fruits which
   balances 3 humours of the body along with getting rid of
   constipation. It is not habit forming and you can stop
   whenever you feel like. If you do not have access to this
   powder consuming 15 to 20 prunes at night would be best
   solution, so also papaya and bananas. Amongst dried
   fruits 3 figs soaked in water in the morning should be
   consumed at night and another 3 soaked in water at night
   should be consumed next day morning. Do it for a month
   and your bowels will be regularised. Good luck and God
   Bless. Cheers! )

   Colon “cleansing” is unnecessary nonsense. It will not improve your health or make you lose weight. Your colon cleans itself. Do not waste your money on these scams.

   Liquid chlorophyll and apple Cider Vinegar are both supposed to be very good colon cleansers.

   I have seen a video that shows colons being cleansed by Alkaline Water. Check out the source below and watch the videos in the “Videos and Articles” section.
