UPDATE DAY 6 .... Starting to see some unidentifiable stuff.
Well pooped an island although I haven't really been eating much.
Today my stool had about a hundred little white things attached to it. Couldn't identify what it was. Also had a second loose movement that was covered in a mucous. Didn't really explore to see why that was but I've never seen anything like that. Oddly, I've gained a pound.

Saint34 asks what toxins I hope to clean out my body.
Well Saint34 I hope to do two things with the cleanse. First I hope to get the Toxins out of my body and next I hope to put good things in my body to get some of the things missing from my diet.
At the risk of sounding like a commercial, I will explain.
First from my understanding of how cleanses work, toxins build up in your body from everything you eat and drink. This is from pesticides, preservatives, heavy metals, and the prescription and non-prescription drugs you take. There is also a host of unidentifiable substances named in any box of food you get from the grocery that can build up. The tap water we drink is loaded with nasties. This is why I have switched to bottle water only. I have given up all soft drinks and switched to all 100% organic foods. I no longer eat fast foods which are extremely bad for you. These foods are designed to have a long shelf life and are filled with harmful preservatives stuff designed to get you addicted to the food.
Eating a fairly normal American Diet is devoid of many important substances.
We all know that many foods have be stripped of many of there nutritional value. In fact, with the way I was eating, I probably wasn't getting many of the things I need to help my body's natural immune system to work properly. If you notice, this cleanse consists of pills that are loaded with vitamins and many other trace elements missing from my diet. One of the pills even includes an oral Chelator that is proven to get rid of heavy medals in the body. A doctor from Tulane University has written about the benefits of chelation therapy.

Still, many people believe chelation therapy to be quackery. The FDA has come out saying that chelation therapy does not work, yet thousands have used this chelation therapy instead of doing a angioplastic or heart surgery with great success.
Your intestines are the biggest organ in the body.
It they do not work properly, according to many doctors toxins are not expelled properly and build up in the body especially in other organs. When you combine these toxins and other free radicals with an American diet that is devoid of many nutrients and trace minerals, you no doubt assist your immune system in failing. Millions believe in good colon therapy including many doctors. Many people also believe in replacing nutrients with supplements and vitamins.
So far this is what happen to me.
1. I've cleaned out and became regular. This was not my main goal of the cleanse.
2. I slept better the last 2 nights than I have for months.
3. I putting in a lot of trace minerals, green supplements and vitamins and I'm starting to have greater mental clarity. I no longer has a brain fog.
4. I hopped to rebuild the good bacteria in my intestines. I was on antibiotic for 2 weeks that killed all of the good bacteria in me as well as the bad. This led to constipation and a Candida over growth in my body. What makes this cleanse different from other cleanses is adding the good bacteria back to the intestines.
5. In just 5 days, I have broken my addiction to diet drinks and sweets.
6. I haven't had to use nose spray in 3 days to clean out my sinuses. I usually use them every night for over 10 years.
7. I hope to get greater absorption of my food in the intestines. This means that you don't eat as much because body can absorb the nutrients more easily.
8. I hope to loose some weight and not from cleaning out my intestines. I have done colon cleanses before and the last time I did, I lost 20 pounds over a year period without trying. No exercise or major diet change. I went from 230 to 210 by the cleanse and just switching just two things in my diet. No more high fructose corn syrup and no partially hydrogenated stuff.
9. I figured at age 48 and the way that I've treated my body over the years, I would indulge myself for only $150 and see if I benefited like the hundreds of testimonials and personal friends that swear by a good cleanse.
Many here have told me that I've been scammed.
I would like to thank everybody and I'm sure they are just looking out for me. I have done much research on this matter and I feel that what I'm doing extremely healthy. I have followed the directions to the letter.
So far, everything I have hoped for has happened.
I an no longer constipated, I have broken my sweet addiction, I no longer have the urge to drink a two liter soft drink per day and I feel better. I have no desire to eat fast food and my hunger pangs are minimal.
Hopefully it's not all in my head. Well at least I know one thing isn't in my head cause it went down the .... well never mind.
