2.0 out of 5 stars
Not so sure...., June 10, 2009
This review is from: Dr. Natura Colonix All Natural Intestinal Cleanser, 360g (Health and Beauty)
I've been taking the Colonix and the Toxinout for a month and a half. I started out thinking I would do the whole three months (I was exposed to serious toxins and have been trying anything and everything possible to help return to normal functioning), but I think I'm about done for the time being.
The pros: Possibly more energy at times, more alertness. The fiber seems to help a lot when I get the tea right (see cons).
The cons: I drink a lot of water normally, even more so now with the cleanse but still get headaches. I get much bloating. I understand that there are symptoms associated with "cleansing the system" but 3 months of it is a bit hard to take. I haven't noticed anything like the pictures on the website, and my stomach seems more distended than flat because of the constant bloating. Also, I never seem to be able to get the tea right (or my system if very sensitive to the ingredients) because I'm usually either constipated or creating diahrea.
So all and all, I'm not sure if it's worth it. I'm not sure if I would have gotten the same results from adding more fiber (which I did realize through this experiment that I wasn't getting enough of) and supplements into my diet. Or dare I say, eating right and exercising? Honestly, I had the same energy boost and alterness occur when I went strict vegan for lent.

Not for everyone... did the OPPOSITE of what it advertises, March 14, 2009
This review is from: Dr. Natura Colonix All Natural Intestinal Cleanser, 360g (Health and Beauty)
I will keep this review short as I like to avoid discussing BM's (bowel movements) at length on Amazon.
Initially, when I heard of Colonix I was skeptical since there were so many obviously fake review sites out there and any company that stoops to that type of tactic is suspect. Anyways, I did find legitimate sites with reviews so I shelled out and started the program.
The first 5 days I became somewhat excited as I had AM BM, right when I woke up. Once I started days 6 - 31 (you double the doses) I completely clogged up... I rigidly followed directions: 2 liters of water, at least and so on. At day 11 I still had not been able to go: swollen belly, cramps but nothing.
I called Client Service and looked online and the suggestions were to seep the tea longer and drink more water. At this point I was being told to drink so much water I was draining electrolytes at a disturbing pace.
As of day 14 I had to take other measures and stop the program and toss out the 70$ or so I paid. The other measures? An enema. And it was not able to get the upper part of my bowels unclogged. Wish there was a Roto rooter for this stuff :(
I hope others have success but this stuff REALLY deregulated me and clogged me up. I will never try anything like this again.
Good luck to the believers.

Not sure what I think about this product, April 29, 2009
This review is from: Dr. Natura Colonix All Natural Intestinal Cleanser, 360g (Health and Beauty)
I read many reviews of this product prior to my purchase. I don't think that I had any where near the positive results of the reviews I read. I know that they say to use it for at least a month but, I got a large rash on my stomach, my head hurt daily and I just didn't feel right. I stopped using it after two weeks. I might try it again just to finish it because it was relatively expensive and I may be too cheap to not finish it for that reason alone!
