The Dangers of Dr. Natura's Colonix

Dr. Natura's Colonix is a colon cleanser popular with those looking to cleanse their insides and possibly lose weight in the process. Some users claim to have lost several pounds by using the colon cleanser. Before you decide to try the product, you should be aware of the possible dangers.

Ingredients

• Dr. Natura's Colonix contains a blend of 10 vitamins and herbs. The product includes psyllium husk, which is similar to fiber in terms of how it works. The intent is to push masses of fat and other waste from the body quickly, including any waste stuck in the body. The manufacturer claims that ingredients in the Colonix are all-natural and include no man-made or manufactured materials.

Process

• When taken as directed, the Colonix allows the fiber and other ingredients to slowly absorb toxins and waste found in the body, but particularly in the colon. The toxins then take on the form of a larger mass that's flexible and liquid-like. The mass is then expelled from the body, taking all the toxins found in the colon.

Warning

• Inside the colon are certain types of healthy bacteria known as probiotics. These probiotics feed off the harmful toxins and keep the colon healthy and active. The Dr. Natura's Colonix doesn't differentiate between harmful and healthy bacteria, meaning that it removes both from the body. The company does sell a product that restores healthy bacteria back into the colon, but it's sold separately from the Colonix.

FDA Approval

• Keep in mind that Dr. Natura's Colonix isn't approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This means that there are no restrictions on who can use the product and no guarantee that it will work. An FDA approval means that the product does what the manufacturer states and that it's safe to use in or on the human body. The Colonix product doesn't come with such guarantees. It doesn't work the same on all people nor do all users have the same results.

Problems

• When you use the Dr. Natura's Colonix, you'll notice an increased frequency in your bowel movements, which is a part of the process. The product begins working within a week of the program start and continues for the duration, with some people using the colon cleanser for several months or longer. Frequent bowel movements are the most common side effect reported.
