It has been 30 days since I started this crazy experiment and all I can say is Thank God. It has been a very unpleasant 30 days and I am really glad it is over. Let me start with the last couple of days and then I will conclude with a final evaluation. The last couple of days were pretty eventful as more toxic sludge has exited my body. Some of the movements were very large in length while others were very loose. It seems like stuff was just coming out in all shapes and sizes. As a final evaluation, I can say that it does work. I have excreted stuff from my body that would still be in there had I not taken this product. What I will also say is that it was one of the most unpleasant months of my life. I experienced stomach pains and discomfort more days then not. My bowel movement schedule was all over the place. Sometimes I would go 8 times a day and then not at all the next day. Instead of being filled with energy, I was exhausted most of the time. I drank plenty of water but I always felt dehydrated. I just drank 32 ounces of water and I am dying of thirst right now. As far as the weight loss is concerned, I lost just under 4 pounds. My jeans are definitely looser and my stomach is noticeably flatter.
I guess I am glad that I took the product, but I do not think that I will take it again, certainly not for a long long time. Mt advice would be to use it if you really think you need to. If you do not, I would stay away because the discomfort and the impact on your life may not be worth it. I will leave it up to you to decide.
I hope you enjoyed the Colon Cleaner “series”. My next experiment will be evaluating the ACAI berry diet. Luckily, my friend will be the guinea pig this time. I need a break.
Stay tuned…
I am really having a bad go with this. The last couple of days I was severely constipated and had a terrible 2 day long headache. I am not positive if the headache was associated with the cleansing, but I suspect it is. Today everything broke loose, it was a day where I needed to be within 10 feet of a bathroom at all times. I had the longest and thickest bowel movement of my lifetime. It was I like i was holding this in for 20 years instead of 2 days. I felt immediate relief after this latest movement. I also felt 2 to 3 pounds lighter, and I probably lost in an inch of my waistline. I can tell you that I am losing weigh, I have not stepped on the scale yet but I can tell with how my clothes fit. It seems like this stuff is working but it is not very pleasant to go through. I have felt so bad over the past three days that I have not worked out at all. I can’t wait until after next week so I can be done with this and get back to my normal life and my normal bowel movements.
side note- I mentioned in several earlier posts that I would be testing out the ACAI berry diet and talk about that next. After this experience I can tell you that I will not be doing it. Fortunately, my good friend was telling me that she wanted to try it out and she agreed to let me use her as a case study. This should be fun, so stay tuned.
A lot of activity has been happening over the last couple of days. My bowel movements seems to be on a schedule now. I feel the urge to go right when I wake up and then again after lunch and again after dinner. I have been on this pattern for the last 2 days now.
I finally had the “big one” and by this I mean something came out of me that was so big and disgusting that I almost through up. The stench was also unbearable. I did some research online and this is called the muciod plaque, it was black and rubbery and really gross. I know some people like to take pictures, I will spare you those details.
I am happy to report that my stomach pains have subsided and I am feeling really good and healthy. After close to three weeks it finally seems to be working like it should.
Its been a couple of days since I posted and let me tell you I have been having a rough time with this cleanser. Over the last couple of days I have been dealing with cramping. I am also having numerous bowel movements. Today, I went 8 different times (I actually have a pen and paper on the sink to keep track) and each time was pretty eventful. I had no idea that I had so much “stuff” in my body. Everytime I go to the bathroom I keep thinking where did this come from. Today was also the first time that I noticed some funky looking stuff that came out (I know it’s gross, but I have to look) The best way i can describe it is as a greenish brown knotted rope. There has also quite a bit of what appears to be lettuce or other leafy type vegetables. So far it seems to be working , I just wish my cramping would go away.
A lot has been going on in the last couple of days, both in my personal life as well as with my colon. There is definite activity to report over the last couple of days. This morning I had terrible stomach cramps and had to rush to the bathroom to relieve myself. I had three separate bowel movements in a period of 20 minutes. About 5 minutes later the cramping had gone away. Basically, I have been dealing with stomach issues for the last four days now. It ranges from severe shooting pain to mild discomfort. I have not had a normal solid bowel movement in 5 days now and my appetite is non existent. In regards to anything unusual coming out of my body, that has not happened yet. I just feel like I have a stomach bug or something. I ave noticed that my life has been impacted as I always have to make sure I am not to far away from a bathroom and I have noticed that my energy level has actually decreased significantly. This may be due to the fact that I have not been able to eat much.
All I know is that I feel crappy (pun intended!).
I am writing this blog post while sitting on the toilet (lol, I am just kidding!) But seriously, it seems like I have been going to the bathroom more often than I can ever remember. Something is definitely going on down there. I steeped the tea for close to 12 minutes last night, which is longer than normal and that may have helped kick start the process. I woke up at about 4:00 am (which never happens) and had to rush to the bathroom. Not to gross anyone out, but my stool was very loose. The rest of the day my stomach has been going haywire and I have gone to the bathroom about 8 times. Nothing major has come out, again it seems like things are just loosing up.
Side note, this is so weird that I am writing about my bowel movements…
I have not had much of an appetite and I forced myself to eat a salad. In hindsight, that was probably the worst thing I could have eaten. I just felt like I couldn’t eat anything else. Maybe this is how people lose weight, they get so sick to their stomach that they can’t eat.
Well, that is the report for today…Until next time…
Hey everyone I am back. I will let you know that the last couple of days have been very normal. Just my normal one a day movement, nothing more, nothing less. I am now on Day 6 and I still have nothing to report (sorry if I am boring you) I think what I might do is steep the tea (there is a tea that you drink) a little longer and see what happens tomorrow.
On a side not, I have been doing some research on acai berry and talking to some doctor friends of mine and other nutrition experts. I will be making a blog post about that soon. Sorry for being brief but it is 9:20 here on the east coast and I want to run to the gym (not literally) and get a quick 30 minute weight training in before they close at 10:00.
I will report back soon
Have you guys heard about the new sun tan drug. It is breaking news right now and it sounds pretty scary. I think tanning is very dangerous in general and this new drug seems very scary to me. The drug has been approved for clinical trials. the way it works is it stimulated the bodies natural tanning response. It is an injectable that basically boosts the melatonin levels.
The company that is developing the drug claims that they will not be marketing it for cosmetic purposes. If you believe that I have a brige that I want to sell ya.
Just another case of drug companies trying to cash in at the expense of our health .

Hi again, I was unable to make a post yesterday asI went out on the town with a friend from college. Boy, did we have a great time! Anyhow, back to the subject at hand; my colon. This is day 3 of the Colon experiment and I do not have much to report. There have been no significant bowel movements yet and everything is pretty normal. The only thing I do notice is a little gurgling in my tummy. It seems like it is mixing it up with everything down there.
My friend said I should try using the colon cleanser in combination with something called acai berry. I must admit that although I have heard about acai berry, I not know to much about it. At this point I want to keep my experiment simple and not combine it with anything else.
Hopefully, next time I will have something to report. Take the time to subscribe to my blog if you are interested in following this experiment.
Peace and Love,
Harmony
Sorry for the delay, I have been fighting off a nasty stomach bug but I am feeling much better today. About 5 minutes ago, I officially started my colon cleansing experiment. I was actually very surprised when I opened the package and realized there were no pills, only powder. I prepared myself for the nasty powder concoction that I was about to ingest. Imagine my surprise when it actually tasted good, well not good, but not bad either. I really have nothing to report as I just took the first dose a couple of minutes ago.
On a side note, I lost about 2 pounds over the last 3 days with this bug. I was unable to eat much and nothing I ate would stay down.
Until next time..
