I don't think acai is effective in colon cleansing. There are herbal combinations that are effective, I just don't believe acai is one of them.

Ugu, really? And when someone gets rid of 10lbs of matter after a colon cleansing and as a result, 10lbs lighter? What do you call that?

Toxic pesticides will slow down your weightloss. I think everyone SHOULD cleanse that can but I think you need to know how to eat right before you do it. Another thing that can happen when someone cleanses is that you will get a "withdrawal" reaction to some of the foods you consume that are not healthy. The reaction can be anything from feeling like crap to ending up eating like a total pig on all these bad foods. Just like a lush with his libations...you can react the same way.

I just want to make very clear that its not something you should take lightly. And you will not get the full cleanse from a bottle like you would from a raw food cleanse w/ herbs to help elimination or various fasting methods.

Do not use anything with senna. That is a popular ing in a lot of those bottle cleanses and it can cause spots on the colon and flaccid colon walls. Its just a laxative and when cleansing should only be used if your body has not done its thing within the week. And the doses they give you in some pills seems a little high for how well it would work on normal people.

^^^^^^ Yeah, that.

It is well known that the human body is designed to dissolve and absorb thru the villi/microvilli all macronutrients including meat.

Firstly the gastric acid ph is designed to pre breakdown all macronutrients including meat. Secondly the pancreas secrete's enzymes to dissolve all macronutrients including meat i.e. amylase for carbohydrate, lipase for fatty acid, protease for protein including meat. Thirdly the intestinal tract has quadrillions of lacto and bifo strains of probiotic bacteria that also assist in dissolving all macronutrients including meat.

Oh yeah i'm a over 40 bodybuilder and have been into health and longevity since i was 21 when i first joined the YMCA back then and yeap i eat fatty beef or salmon at every meal (along with brocolli and frozen blueberries) as its the elixir for my health and well being .

I also don't believe that meat is the culprit. I believe empty calories, like simple carbs, as well as sugars, and lack of fresh vegetables is the real reason behind it. I firmly believe that a meat eater has to have a big serving of vegetables on his plate to balance it out.

To each his own.
It's true that as humans we carry toxic stool around until we choose to dump it. I say if a person makes an effort to get the FIBER into the system then potential problems aren't as excessive.
You know "it it floats" then your getting enough fiber is true.
Cleaning yourself out on a regular basis should be done accordingly and necessary for good mental health IMO.

I've done very deep cleanses over extended periods of time and it's fascinating (and freaky at times) to see what is eliminated.
And i've been eating very clean / pure whole foods since forever and haven't eaten meat regularly (very rare that i eat it at all) since i was a child living at home with my mom.
Experience is key.

Well I would say yes it disolves normal meat. But the "normal" type of supermarket meat is sprayed/injected/medicated. What they preserve it with can kill your healthy bacteria and then the non-fiberous goo of "normal foods" sticks it there and you won't flush it out fast enough eventually to let the intestine get back to normal.

I don't think healthy meat + veggies/fruit + whole grains type of diet will be the same in build up compared to a normal s.a.d. diet.

I did not use pills or a fasting with my father but he was achey so I made him a food plan with a lot more fiber and he ended up moving masses from his colon that contained time release capsule pills he was taking for his prostate. He ate a typical s.a.d. but a little better than that because he has blood sugar issues. His fiber was high enough before the high fiber flush out too. I think he said he moved 20 something capsules and he only took 1 a day. Proof is the the pooding.

..,there's really lots of better ways to cleanse your colon and most these ways are really safer to do, one of these ways is the 7 day colon cleanse which gradually cleanse your colon by slowly dissolving waste from our colon instead of hasty approach in which sometimes harmful to our digestive system. Immediate approach to clean the colon may result in dehydration, abdominal cramping and nausea. A seven day colon cleanse helps get rid of toxins in a gradual manner thus avoiding dehydration cause by immediate and excessive purging. 7 day colon cleanse is beneficial when you experience a feeling of tiredness during day time and when you exhale you smell a foul odor from your mouth. Once colon cleansing is achieved symptoms like foul odor flatulence, bad breath, abdominal bloating, headache and feeling of tiredness even when you are not working should go away. You should feel light and energetic as the toxins are expelled out. For more other ways you can click the URL that can be found below
