first introduced
Clean Colon in 2002,
it was an integral part of our Liver/Colon Cleansing Program.
As we pointed out in our original article (see below). Most
people -- then and now -- if they know anything at all about psyllium, think of it as a
laxative. However, its traditional uses go beyond this.
Either by itself, or in connection with our
Liver/Colon Cleansing Program, pure psyllium husk (with no additives)
should be considered a vital part of any serious detoxification program. Those wishing
to incorporate an even more thorough detoxification modality of the colon are
encouraged to investigate colon hydrotherapy. (Pictures of our clinic's unit are below.)Please review our original article below.

100% Pure Psyllium Husk  syllium husk, also
known
"isabgol" in India,
has been used as a laxative for centuries. In ayurvedic
medicine, its uses include constipation, irritable bowel
syndrome, diabetes (as an adjunct), and chronic colitis.
Worldwide, psyllium is sold
in a dizzying array of brands, including
Metamucil ®,
Endulax ®,
and Colon Cleanse ®. Many laxative products have an assortment
of additives inserted, but the majority of these are to make the
product taste sweet, or otherwise improve flavor. Although all of these uses
are sound and legitimate, our focus has been on the ability of
psyllium to absorb and hold excess discharge from the intestinal
pathways of the body. The experience of increased "bulk" in the
stool due to psyllium use is a common one, but many people can
benefit from the use of psyllium who are not constipated. For over a century, various
physicians have spoken about the need to reduce or eliminate from the
diet what are called
"mucus-forming foods" (i.e. meat, milk, eggs, refined flours and
related baked goods, sugar, salt, etc.), and instead focus on consuming
"wholesome, non-mucus-forming foods" (i.e. whole, live, raw
foods ... fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds...
and fresh fish or chemical free chicken in small amounts, etc.).
Since few people are likely
to head this advice (which, incidentally, may be a big contributing
factor explaining why so many vegetarians have lower cancer and
heart disease rates), so psyllium has the added value of
absorbing excess mucus as it passes through the intestinal tract.
Our version, Clean Colon
is nothing more than pure, 100% psyllium husk, with no additives.
If you can find a cheaper brand of pure psyllium where you live,
that's find, too. It will accomplish the same thing. We feel that most of the psyllium
products that come encapsulated are a waste of money: a "serving
size" should be at least one full Tablespoon. (We have staffers
at Alpha Omega who make smoothies with psyllium and add
two to three tablespoons!) The bulk of the psyllium should be
formed in the stomach -- hard to do if you are swallowing it in
capsule form.) The easiest way to use
psyllium is to drop one to two tablespoons in a half-full
blender of purified water (optional: honey or molasses to taste),
set on high for 10 seconds, and then drink. Don't let the
blend sit too long because psyllium will soon become
gelatinous and then set. A variety of advisories
indicate that it is best to take before bedtime, but for someone
with relative good health, we have found that it doesn't matter
what time of the day you take it.
There are few supplement
products that we feel are as essential for good health and
call for regular use as
psyllium. Two of our staffers have been taking it religiously
for over 20 years. You should be aware that the "occasional"
caveat is added by most manufacturers to acknowledge the fact
that "laxatives" can be addictive. But labelling psyllium as
a "laxative" (and it is so only because its bulk-forming properties
provide this incidental benefit) is an oversight --- it fails
to bring to attention its other qualities.
The product was supplied in a sturdy large
poly container.
