Frequently
Asked Questions
About COLON CLEANSE® |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Q.
Why is
fiber so important? |
| |
| A. Fiber is
essential for intestinal health.
Fiber keeps the digestive tract from
getting clogged up with mucus,
toxins and metabolic waste. It keeps
the colon clean and waste matter
moving. Fiber feeds and maintains a
healthy intestinal flora. |
|
|
Q.
How does COLON
CLEANSE® clean the colon? |
| |
|
A. Colon Cleanse is
made of 100% psyllium husk. Psyllium
helps to absorb toxins in the colon
by creating a spongy, gelatinous
mass in the bowels. By swelling and
absorbing fluids, it breaks down and
moves waste matter stuck in the
folds and crevices of the colon. A
clean colon inhibits bacteria from
surviving on human waste. Psyllium
husk soothes the lining of the bowel
and leaves a thin slippery film
along the inner lining of the colon,
which makes it easier for waste
generated later to move along
smoothly. |
|
|
Q.
What is the
soluble fiber in COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. The husk is
composed mostly of a soluble fiber
called hemicellulose. The soluble
fiber adds bulk to the stomach and
absorbs fluids to form a gel-like
substance that stimulates the
rhythmic muscular contractions in
the colon responsible for the
evacuation process. |
|
|
Q.
Does the soluble fiber in COLON CLEANSE® lower cholesterol?
|
| |
| A. Soluble
fiber from foods such as psyllium
husk as a part of a diet low in
saturated fat and cholesterol may
reduce the risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol attaches itself to fiber
and is carried out of the body with
solid waste matter. A serving of
Colon Cleanse supplies 7 grams of
the soluble fiber necessary per day
to have this effect. Coronary heart
disease has been linked to elevated
blood cholesterol levels. Recent
scientific research has revealed the
important role psyllium plays in the
diet to reduce "Bad" cholesterol or
LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins),
while having no significant effect
on the HDL (High-Density
Lipoproteins) or good cholesterol.
Studies from three independent
universities: University of
Kentucky, George Washington
University and the University of
Massachusetts, presented some
dramatic results. Low fat diet that
included psyllium had a greater
cholesterol lowering effect than low
fat diets without psyllium. |
|
|
Q.
Can COLON CLEANSE® be taken if pregnant or breast feeding? |
| |
| A. Psyllium
should be mixed with at least 8
ounces of water, juice or your
favorite beverage. Please drink
quickly because of the immediate
thickening action. Eight to ten
glasses of water throughout the day
is recommended the reason is water
naturally helps your system flush
out the toxins and waste that build
up throughout the day. Eating this
product without enough liquid may
cause choking. Do not take this
product if you have trouble
swallowing. |

|
Q.
Can I take medication with COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. There are
no known contraindications. However,
there is some speculation about
pills possibly binding to the
psyllium preventing them from
breaking down properly. It is good
idea to take your medication at
least one hour before or after
consuming Colon Cleanse. Check with
your pharmacist or physician about
the possible interactions with
psyllium. |
|
|
Q.
How much COLON CLEANSE® can be taken daily? |
| |
| A. Depending
on the individual, as little as one
teaspoon a day can promote
regularity. One tablespoon up to
three times daily is the maximum
dose. However, results may not take
place for three or more days.
Psyllium is an excellent source of
fiber, puts no strain on nerve
reflexes, does not damage bowel tone
and is safe for long-term use. |
|
|
Q.
Is the psyllium in COLON CLEANSE® a fiber from wheat grain?
|
| |
| A. Psyllium is
a fiber grain; however, it is not
related to wheat. Psyllium is a
natural bulking agent that yields 60
to 70% soluble fiber; eight times
that of oat bran. Psyllium expands
50 to 60 times in the stomach to
provide this bulk or "roughage".
Fiber is essential for intestinal
health. Fiber keeps the digestive
tract from getting clogged up with
mucus, toxins and metabolic waste.
It keeps the colon clean and waste
matter moving. Fiber feeds and
maintains a healthy intestinal
flora. |
|
|
Q.
Can I take COLON CLEANSE® on an empty stomach? |
| |
| A. Since Colon
Cleanse is a soluble fiber, you may
take it any time you wish even on an
empty stomach. |
|
|
Q.
Do I take COLON CLEANSE® with food? |
| |
| A. You may
take the Colon Cleanse anytime you
wish, even on an empty stomach. Our
recommendation is that you take the
Colon Cleanse at least one hour
before or after meals. How Colon
Cleanse works is it forms a gel-like
substance in your stomach which
absorbs all the waste in your system
as it passes though your small
intestines and colon and then is
finally eliminated. |

|
Q.
Is there an appropriate diet for COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. Common
sense about eating healthy foods is
always recommended. Please drink
plenty of fluids and continue your
normal healthy diet. |
|
|
Q.
Do I have to wait to eat if I just took COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. No, you do
not have to wait. Because Colon
Cleanse is a soluble fiber and
swells up in your stomach it has the
effect of making you feel less
hungry if taken about an hour before
meals. So unless you are trying to
eat less, take it after meals. |
|
|
Q.
Will I get diarrhea from
COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. No. Colon
Cleanse is not likely to result in
diarrhea. In fact, psyllium husk is
known to help in cases of diarrhea
by absorbing excess intestinal
fluids and providing bulk to the
stool. |
|
|
Q.
How long will it take before COLON CLEANSE® begins working? |
| |
| A. It is very
difficult to specify a time period
in which Colon Cleanse begins
working. Most people will see
results within 24 to 72 hours, as
long as directions were followed. It
may take longer especially for first
time users as their systems are not
used to the amount of fiber in the
Colon Cleanse. |
|
|
Q.
Should I stop taking Super COLON CLEANSE® and COLON CLEANSE® Regular? |
| |
| A. If you are
enjoying our other products we
suggest that you sample Max Line and
note changes you may feel that you
like or dislike then customize your
cleansing regimen. |
|
|
Q.
What are the common side effects of COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. Some of the
side effects of Colon Cleanse are
gas and bloating. These usually
occur with first time users because
their systems may not be used to the
amount of fiber in the Colon
Cleanse. In this situation we
recommend that you cut the dosage in
half and slowly increase to the
recommended dosage over a period of
a few weeks. |
|
|
Q.
How long can I take COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. For best
results you can take Psyllium every
day. Psyllium provides safe, gentle
and effective cleansing. |
|
|
Q.
Does COLON CLEANSE® cause
allergic reactions? |
| |
| A. Allergic
reactions can never be ruled out
when introducing anything new into
the body. However, Psyllium should
not be compared to insoluble fiber
such as wheat bran, where irritation
and allergic reactions are often
present. Some individuals may feel
minor discomfort with gas or
bloating the first few days. In this
case, reduce your dose to half and
increase gradually to the suggested
use over a period of about 2 weeks. |
|
|
Q.
How much water should be taken with COLON CLEANSE®? |
| |
| A. Psyllium
should be mixed with at least 8
ounces of water, juice or your
favorite beverage and swallowed
quickly, because of the immediate
thickening action. 8-10 glasses of
water throughout the day are
recommended. Eating this product
without enough liquid may cause
choking. Do not take this product if
you have difficulty in swallowing. |
|
|
Q.
What else can I do if I don’t want to take any COLON CLEANSE® product? |
| |
| A. Drink
plenty of water, and eat plenty of
fruits and vegetables, which
naturally contain fiber,
antioxidants and some enzymes (such
as papain from papaya). In addition,
sometimes stress causes digestive
insufficiency, so learning how to
manage stress levels will greatly
help prevent digestive disturbances.
Eat slowly; don’t cram your mouth
with food, don’t gulp down your
food. Chewing slowly releases
specific enzymes in saliva that
start to break down the food.
Finally, eat only until you are
satisfied; don’t eat until you are
“full,” which stresses the bloated
stomach to work overtime in
processing its load. |
