Detox/Colon & the Lapband

White06 · December 2, 2006

I am strongly considering a detox for my colon. I have heard all good things about it. But...How does this work with the lapband.

Has anyone tried a detox, if so what was the name of it? Did it work?

I've only read that colon cleansing is not safe........... but you can do a search here and probably come up with 10+ posts on it.

Good luck !!!

White06 - I think colon cleansing is entirely beneficial. My friend swears by hydratherapy (colonics) and reports that her mood changes with the colonic. She feels lighter, sleeps better, etc.

I think that a person doesn't have to resort to herbology to clean out their innards. If you eat living foods, it will clean your insides.

Personally, I'm taking a series of colonics prior to my banding. It is my understanding that a person has quite a build up of fecal matter stored in their intestinal tract and colon. This decaying matter is believe to be a contributor of disease.

And of course, leave it to the resident naysayer to post a single link detailing the quackery of colon cleansing. (laugh) GeezerSue, gotta love ya! :confused:
