1. Before Bowel Cleansing
Before the colon cleanse stop taking all unnecessary medication including any vitamin supplements. You may want to do a quick fast but that is not really necessary. Here are a few ideas:
- Have a water fast: drink nothing by water with salt in it.
- Juice fast: drink only fresh fruit and vegetable juice.
- Only eat Kichadi and nothing else.
It has been noted that some people feel have felt that the colon cleanse goes smoother after a fast. However, if you avoid the junk and begin to eat healthy then there should be no problem. Avoid such things as chocolate, black tea, candy, pasteurized milk, coffee, etc.
2. The Basic Colon Cleanse
This consists of two ingredients: Bentonite Clay or activated charcoal and psyllium husk powder. You can also use a probiotic but this is optional.The Colon Cleanse Procedure:
- Mix 1 teaspoon of Bentonite Clay along with 1 teaspoon of Psyllium Husk into a glass of water. Pour another glass and have it ready in case you need it.
- On the first day, drink 1 glass of this shake(P&B shake). Drink this either 2 hours before or after a meal. Do not drink this shake while you are eating. After consuming the P&B shake, drink the other glass of water.
- Drink 1 glass of this shake 1 time a day for 3 days. On the fourth day, drink a P&B shake twice a day (morning and bedtime). Also do this for the fifth day. On the sixth day, drink 3 P&B shakes, on the seventh day, drink 4 shakes, and on day's 8-14 drink 4 to 5 of these shakes daily.
- Continue to drink the P&B shakes 4-5 times daily until you feel your symptoms are alleviates or the mucoid plaque is out. Most people may stop after a month, but other people have to continue the colon cleanse for two months and longer.
As the name implies, Bentonite Clay is a kind of clay. If you cannot locate the Bentonite Clay at the vitamin store, you can take Activate Charcoal instead. It is not quite as effective, but if it is the only option you have, then by all means use it. Psyllium Husk, a fiber powder, can be tolerated by most people. When you are looking to do a colon cleanse, the Psyllium Husk and Bentonite Clay shakes are the most popular to drink.
3. During the Colon Cleanse
Whether you are using the P&B shakes or some other commercial product, they will dehydrate your body. Therefore, it is very important that you drink as many fluids as possible. However, one should only drink water, herbal tea or fresh fruit or vegetable juice while doing the colon cleanse.You have to realize that a colon cleanse will remove not only the harmful toxins but the helpful bacteria as well. You must restore the good bacteria and one way to do this is by taking a probiotic. You should also conduct a daily enema flush. This helps the toxins from being re-introduced into your body. These are the essential steps to take for a colon cleanse to be effective and to help improve your health for the better!
