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. Is the Psyllium in COLON
CLEANSEŽ 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 percent soluble
fiber, eight times that of oat bran. Psyllium expands 50-60 times in the stomach
to provide this bulk or "roughage."
Q. What is the
soluble fiber in COLON CLEANSEŽ?
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 from COLON CLEANSEŽ regulate cholesterol?
A. Soluble fiber from foods such as Psyllium Husk, as 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 CleanseŽ supplies 5 grams of the 7
grams of soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect.
Q. How does the soluble fiber
from Psyllium clean the colon?
A. 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 toxic waste matter stuck in the folds and crevices of the
colon. A clean colon inhibits harmful 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. How much COLON CLEANSEŽ
can be taken daily?
A. Depending on the individual, as little as one teaspoon of
Psyllium a day can promote regularity. One tablespoon up to three times daily is
the maximum dose. However, results may not take place for 3 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. 32 grams per day, but not
more than 7 grams (about 1 heaping tablespoon) per dose
Q. How long can I take COLON CLEANSEŽ?
A. For best results you can take Psyllium everyday. Psyllium
provides safe, gentle and effective cleansing.
Q. Is there an appropriate diet for COLON
CLEANSEŽ?
A. Common sense about eating healthy foods is
always recommended, however no particular diet is needed.
Q. Does COLON CLEANSEŽ 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. Can I take
medication and /or pills while taking COLON CLEANSEŽ?
A. There are no known contraindications, however there is
some speculation about pills possibly binding to Psyllium preventing them from
disintegrating and breaking down properly. Although there is no hard evidence of
this, taking medication or pills one hour before or after COLON CLEANSEŽ is
recommended.
Q. How much water should be taken with COLON
CLEANSEŽ?
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 is recommended.
Eating this product without enough liquid may cause choking. Do not take this
product if you have difficulty in swallowing.
