Has anyone tried the Dr. Natura cleansing? If so does it work? I am thinking of trying it but afraid of what I might see.

be careful when you do that because if you take it,, if you take any sort of detox,, colon flush type deal the info says that it will expell any meds you take within two hours of use.. so donttake it around the same time as phen
i had broken ribs took a lortab then took internal flush( which works great and is stimuant free) and i was screaming in pain and couldnt figure out why?? well i had flushed out the pain meds,, i guess that is proof that some of the products out there work i havent taken dr. nature,,, but the one i take you do 3-6 at bed with water,,, then once you are happy,, you take 1 every night and it maintains colon health so it does its job but then works as a supplement plus they sell it at walmart and its only like $9 i think... sorry im long winded but i hope this helps

My husband and I have both done the Dr. Natura cleanse and detox. I cannot say enough good things about it. Even since I finished my cleanse and detox, I still drink their tea every night. I attribute that to my jumpstart on my weight loss journey. I don't know how many fat pods I saw in the toilet! Sometimes I didn't want to look, either. But curiosity usually gets the better of me! Tiny is right though, you have to take your medication a couple hours after the morning stuff you take. It is all in the instructions though. They tell you that.
Good luck! |

Okay, I ordered the 2 month supply...so we'll keep our fingers crossed! Can you post your experience here? Or can you pm/email me with it??
Oh also from the site they recommended either making it into a shake or drinking it with juice. Can I offer some suggestions? What about rice milk, the fiber, ice and some SF chocolate syrup? Or an orange, banana and the fiber? Or I have been thinking about protien shakes..what about water, champion pure whey stack chocolate, the fiber and a scoop of PB? I personally like to get most of my caloies in the morning, like over 40%, then maybe 30% for lunch and dinner. So you could make a mean 500 calorie morning shake!!! |

I agree with you dovelette but they tell you to take it before breakfast, so I assumed that meant I had to take it with something not so substantial. I dont know how those people said they just drank it with water, because it made me gag. I am going to try the light and fit smoothie (strawberry and banana) with it tomorrow since they are only like 60 calories. Let me know what you figure out, I am up to anything! And I didnt really have any wonderful effects today because I didnt get alot of the fiber down, I was miffed about that

I just got a two month supply of the colonix. I called the place and they said if you couldn't afford 2-3 months of both it was better to do 2 months of the colonix and then later if you want to do them together for one month (like 6 months down the road). They said you can't get all that "crap" out of you in just the one month.
I will def post my updates with it, I should receive it saturday or monday and am going to start monday (if I get it in time) or tuesday. I'm nervous lol, isn't that funny? Also amanda, I read a lot of people took it with Rice milk and liked it, or orange juice. I don't see why you couldn't add SF choco syrup to the rice milk if its still gross...or those SF Davinci syrups you put in coffee (I have like 12 flavors lol). -Dove |

I mixed it with my Yogurt light and fit smoothie this morning and it was bearable, I hope it works! I plan on ordering more, but I just wanted to make sure it worked first. Also my hubby is coming home from Iraq at the end of March and I didnt want to be making any crazy bathroom trips when I had to go get him. But we will see, they say it is not like that.

I had looked into this and talked to a few doctors and they told me that unless you live in a place that the food and water is questionable that this was not something that is needed. that it is just a new hollywood fad. also that somethings that are there are ment to be there..... i dont wanna be aginst the flow i just know that its a pretty costly expierence. i should also note that you should not expect to find the huge back up and "parasites" that most sites show as what there products are getting rid of, you yould feel if you had these. and most of us dont drink dirty water and eat raw chickens and stuff.....but anyways best wishes. i hope that someof you get good results....

My experience was incredible! I did the Toxinout and the Colonix for 30 days. I felt clean after that. My hair and nails started growing and my hair has never looked better (if I do say so myself!) And my weight loss picked up and my stomach felt flatter and I was not so bloated and "full" feeling. I always felt like I had just gotten up from the Thanksgiving table. I actually lost my 1st 20 lbs without Phen. Just watching what I ate (doing LA Weight Loss) and cleansing my system.
I did not have a lot of the stuff that they show on the website but there was a lot of "unrecognizable" stuff. I kept having these big yellow M&M looking things. At first I thought, oh, corn. But then, I remembered, hey! I haven't had any corn in ages! So, I finally got brave enough to fish one out. When I opened it up, it was like pure lard. Imagine breaking an M&M in half and it having the consistency of Crisco. That's what I found lots of. The fiber was really hard for me. I tried orange juice, fruit juice, water, milk. The best was the fruit juice but it was still barely tolerable. I can't stand stuff like that. Good luck to you guys! Let us know how it goes!

Well I am very interested to see where this goes as well.....and in light of the fact that our diets are filled with foods that are processed and full of crap that there is no telling what our digestive systems are full of. If the crap we eat clogs our arteries why in the world would it not clog up the place that it digests through??????
I have also lived all over the world and the water in some places has left me with alot of raised eyebrows as to what was in it when I drank it!!!!! And alot of of those questions have been raised in the states! So I am going to do this same cleanse after I get back from vacation in March for the two months that the company has recommended.....and I am very curious to see how it goes for you guys!

When I first saw this topic posted, I looked into the Dr.Natura on their website, too...and frankly, the website scared the hell out of me. I mean, I liked the idea of internal cleansing and flushing toxins and the perk of losing some additional pounds...but those pictures are just down right freaky.
So, I checked out aisles of Wal Mart today and bought something that looked a little gentler, and didn't include the parasite killer. It is called Whole Body Cleanse, some company called Enzymatic, is a two week program, all natural ingredients, and was 1/4 of the price of Dr. Natura. Not that I know what kind of effects it will have...this will be my first "flushing". I'll keep you posted on this othe product, too. I figured that a two week program would be easier to handle, and there is no mention of "aliens" in the toilet in the instructions. Haha! Aliens referring to some of the descriptions on the Dr. Natura site. Should I stop taking Phen completely while on this cleanse? There was no mention of when to take meds while on this cleanse...but there is an option to take all pills at night, and I figured that I'd take my phen in the morning..after I had "expelled the demon", you know? Anyway, don't want to get too graphic, but what do you guys think? Phen or no phen, and if phen, then when. HAHA! |

I think either Phen, then two hours, then Fiber...or fiber, then two hours then phen. It says 1-2 hours, but I personally would rather be safe than flush it out of my system!

The enzymatic whole body cleanse thing has an option to take all of the pills at night, so I'm going that route. Take them all at night, so my system does its thing while I am asleep...get up, use the bathroom...and then take my phen.
I mean, I know that the fiber/laxative/etc from the cleansing pills are still in my system..but I still got the phen effect today. Of course, I'm not sure that the cleanse program I purchased is nearly as powerful as the Dr. Natura. I might do the Dr. Natura thing if I get to a plateau on my weight loss...to break on through to the other side, in the words Jim Morrison. ??? |

So far into the cleansing (day three), nothing really has happened. It doesn't seem to be affecting my phen, as I still get the effects.
But I've not had any unusual or even more frequent trips to the bathroom for #2. I feel good, but that's probably just because of my new healthy diet, the phen buzz, and increased exercise. I wonder if it takes a few days to really start working? I wouldn't think so, considering that this is only a 2 week program. Or if my expectations are quite a bit different since I saw the Dr. Natura site? If things don't start brewing soon, then I think I'm going to fork out the $$ for Dr. Natura. |

Hi Guys! Well I have had the stomach flu for the last couple of days but I did want to say that I noticed a huge difference in the frequecy of my BMs the second day I took the Dr Natura. I went like 4 times, which is unusual for me. But since then I have had a stomach bug, but my whole household had it, so it was definitely just a virus. I hope to start back tomorrow, or maybe even Monday
(Dovette) I will keep everybody posted, but after being sick I am not sure I could go to the bathroom anymore, I feel drained

fightin-w8 - that's why I went personally with Dr Natura...it had the best ratings and 34 pages of testimonials etc, so I figured if I'm going to do it I need to do it RIGHT (yeah how many times have I said that about dieting before lol). Yes its longer and more expensive, but so was Phen vs. OTC things. Keep us posted on the progress!

I'm getting ticked off about the Wal Mart brand...I mean, to me, a cleanse means that something should come out of my body. I've not had a BM since yesterday morning...what gives?
I was thinking that either the fiber capsules are swelled up and stuck in my system (which shouldn't be because I drink over a gallon of water a day now). Or, that my intestines are so packed with ick from 32 years that it is taking it longer to work. I looked at more of those pictures on Dr. N site today...really makes me want to get totally clean, you know? Makes you feel gross, thinking that things like that are inside of me. Of course, I am not known for my patience...so I made my husband run to the store and get me a stool softener, because I feel bloated and constipated at this point. Blech. Maybe that will get it kick started. ??? ...waiting for my shi* to come in.....HAHA! I crack me up. |

Ok I got mine via UPS today...I wanted to start right away but I had just eaten lunch and it says in the morning on an empty stomach, so I'll wait I suppose! I'm a little nervous, especially because two of you said the fiber is gross lol. Hey does it fill you up so you're not hungry for a while? Just curious.
I'll keep everyone posted on how things are...moving along ;o) |

Dove- I just wanted to tell you that the first couple of days I tried my tea with honey and it was ok, but I got tired of it quick. I tried putting some sugar in it tonight, I know it doesnt help the weight loss but I had to try something different. Now the tea tastes pretty good and I am enjoying drinking it, and I wasnt before. Just wanted to give you a little tip. Keep me posted!

The "generic" cleanse I purchased isn't doing anything. No change in BM to mention. I don't feel good or bad, really... If anything, makes me feel bloated. Of course, it is also my TOM, so maybe next week things will improve.
It isn't having any ill effects either so I guess I am going to keep taking it. Only have a week and a half left of that program. When I finish, I will buy the Dr. Natura. |

The Dr Natura is good the only thing I can say is that the tea makes me crampy in the morning. The fiber doesnt seem like it does too much "yet". I dont know if it takes a while for it to work, but the tea will definitely get your bowels moving. I read somewhere that it is senna tea, and they sell it at Wal Mart called Slim Tea or something, it is worth a try. It seems to me like the tea is doing the majority of the work. But what do I know!

I heard from someone else that did the Dr Natura that it took her several days for anything to happen. I'm thinking it may depend on how much you are actually eating - if you don't have any food to push through, maybe it'll take longer to "see" results?
Ugh, I hope this works lol. |

Something else I was reading about...not sure if anyone has done it. But you all have read/heard/tried maybe the Master Cleanse, the lemonade diet thing. Anyway, part of that includes a flush. I've never done it (or the Master Cleanse, because the thought of going without any food for 10 days don't think I can handle)...but first thing in the morning, you drink 32 oz of warm water mixed with sea salt (can't remember exact quantity).
Apparently, this flush works fast, like within a couple of hours. I'm not recommending this, but has anyone tried it? I know it is intended to be used in conjunction with the fast, but wouldn't it aid in a normal cleansing where you actually eat, too? |

Huh, I know when I've had those thingy's you take to clean you out, the nasty bottled liquid...what the heck is the name...Go Lightly! Yeah, they taste just like salt water, with nasty flavors added so you hate it even more. I think what happens with salt water is the salt in the water, as it goes into your intestines ****s the water from your body, drawing it into your lower intestines and you purge that way. Like osmosis (or reverse osmosis, I don't remember which). I guess the theory would be having that "pull" of the salt on the rest of your body would also pull toxins into your intestines to then be flushed out. Does that sound right?
Oh and um, if I remember correctly, it HURTS!!! |
