I wrote this colon cleanse home remedy article in response to Cbsnews.com’s article: 5 Home Remedy No-No’s while home colon cleanse  is listed as the 5th no-no. Robert Siegel, MD, armed with the American College of gastroenterology mentioned that it is a fallacy about the toxic effects of the contents in the colon of our body. And this is where colon cleansing home remedies come into play. People hear about others claiming that their colons are filled with nasty toxic waste matter and the answer for that is to flush them out with probiotics, enemas or laxatives.

Robert Siegel then mentions that our colons are our body’s waste receptacle, and its function is to let fecal material be eliminated from the body naturally. Trying to do a colon cleanse home remedy yourself can disrupt our body’s electrolyte balance, leading to salt depletion and dehydration. And over time, repeated colon cleansing can even lead to malnutrition, anemia and heart failure.

Although it is true that overdoing home remedies for colon cleansing is indeed dangerous and can cause the above stated illness when our body gets damaged by the chemicals that many home remedy colon cleansers use. This happens only when someone abuses the colon cleansing product. That is why you need to be very careful when buying a colon cleanse home remedy, choose those that uses natural ingredients and only use in moderation. One that has been proven popular and safe is the Bowtrol Colon Cleanse.

However, many health experts and I disagree about Robert Siegel regarding the non existence of the toxic effects of the contents in the colon of our body. Do you know that the sludge that is removed from colon cleansing is actually a breeding ground for bacteria and carcinogens? They are evident of poor dieting and an unhealthy colon which cannot effectively remove the kind of waste material. As with formation of fat deposits along arteries and stones in the kidney, these are caused by wrong choice of food over a period of time. The colon, in the same manner, builds up such undigested waste, which overtime, decompose and harden along the colon walls. Like un-cleared garbage, they become spawning grounds for rats, cockroaches and other diseases. They hinder the digestion process, which contributes to weight gain and obesity.

Our colons can remove waste naturally if we have enough water and fiber from our food. That is why I always recommend you eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink lots of water whether you are doing a colon cleanse home remedy or not. However, to quickly remove the layer of toxic buildup in our colons will require more than just fiber and water, that’s the reason why there are products for colon cleansing. Even when you go to a doctor, they will also prescribe you with some powerful drugs for you to consume at home to remove the waste, isn’t that a home remedy for colon cleansing as well? Not mentioning they charge a ton of consulting fees along the way.

For cheaper and equally safe alternative, I recommend you taking the limited free trial offer for Bowtrol Colon Cleanse Home Remedy. It contains natural herbs and probiotics, a friendly bacteria like those you find in Vitagen and Yakult. They help in digestion, weight loss and breaking down of waste matter in the bowels.
