My part time help swears by this. I haven't heard anything about it. The website feels like a sales pitch to me and I typically shy away from them. However, the basic premise as I understand it is that you get all the chemicals and toxins out of your body through a 'cleansing process' and that your body can heal itself. Here's the website, http://www.puristat.com/coloncleansing/default.aspx?pid=1&campaignno=Comp_Words&adgroup=Comp_W_Sales&keywords=dr+richard+schultz_E. Has anyone looked into this? Any thoughts?
I've read of this or several like it. I think you got it in one--a promotional gimic. If this is such a wonderful process and lets/aids your body in healing itself, who aren't our Drs. using it, prescribing it? Frankly, I see these ads as being the 21st Century version of the old 'snake oil vender' with their mnagic elixirs, 'good for whatever ails you'.
If you can find an ingredients label, it'd be interesting to see it.
I have Dr Hulda Clarks book a 'cure for all diseases' and it has a huge following of people who cleanse regularly-intestinal-colon cleanse/liver cleanse/gallbladder cleanse// many swear they have avoided surgery by using these methods and feel super healthy after doing them. i have gallstones and i keep up with them just in 'case' they ever bother me i would try a cleanse first before going the surgery route. the cleanses are composed of olive oil/grapefruit juice//epsom salts = if you google colon or liver cleanses you will get all sorts of ingredients to use to get it done and forums of folks who use them...interesting to read. :)divvi
Years ago I made this gallon of something that I think had cayenne pepper and lemon juice in it and who knows what else. You were supposed to drink so much through the day. After a few glasses I decided I rather be unpure! It was awful.
One of my strongest memories of my grandmother, who lived with us, was her constant taking of enemas. Oh, I would NOT do that! I mean, yes for colonoscopies, of course, but not otherwise!!
Years ago I was going to a fantastic yoga house. One of the rooms was devoted to high colonics administered by a registered colonic RN. I never could see any reason to inflict that much damage to the human body.
I think it was Dr Oz one time when she was on Oprah (I rarely watch her but my sister does), that did a study of women who go to the 'cleansing' spas. He found no benefit of the procedures except for the discomfort they went through. Even though the women felt better when doing it, the same and safer result can be had by doing a regular daily fast of water only. If you can't do just water, make it a liquid fast. This will give your system the same rest that these colonic tonics do.
This sounds a little like the foot cleansing pads. They turn brown overnight and that's supposed to be the dirty stuff pulled out of your body. Didn't someone say you could slap them on a counter and they would turn brown? Gosh, people are so gullible. Aren't we glad we're smarter than that? <grin>
