EPILOGUE...A summary

So, COLONIX - Fact or Fiction?!
Well, I have to say I was NOT impressed with the program overall. I was a skeptic in the beginning, and am a skeptic at the end. My posts to other groups and a Rep. from the company itself suggested I give it another months trial, being that sometimes it takes longer for some to experience the claims. For what the program costs, I am not inclined to try it again at this time. With invading my bidy with the "herbs" for 40 days, a better result (I feel) should have been acheived.
I am on pain management which promotes constipation, so maybe my program was skewed from the beginning based on this pre-existing condition? I do not feel it should have impacted the results to the level of success I did not experience!
Would I try it again? Maybe. But, until such time as i come across extra cash, and want to make the committment again, I'll pass for now....at least something is passing here!
Thanks for being a part of the journey with me, and I hope some find this information useful!

Wednesday 11/5, Day #44 - POST Plan

Had a movement this morning again after breakfast. I think I have found a secret in drinking 1 lt. of water upon awakening, it has been working great! Today is the first day without any of the COLONIX tools, so i will write my summary tonight on the program and my thoughts as a whole.

Tuesday 11/4, Day #43 - LAST DAY!!!

Well, this is it! Had my last dose of the COLONIX powder this morning! Woke up and drank my liter of water, 1st thing, had breakfast and boom, had to go again. Just one long mass, but went two days in a row, this is a good thing!


Got home about 7pm., and had to go again! Not much, but I had another bowel movement, 2nd day of twice a day, that is excellent for me if you've followed this blog!

Tomorrow I will write my final findings and thoughts of this whole process and see where to go after that. Thanks for coming along and following this experience with me!

Monday 11/3, Day #42

Woke up and drank 1 liter of water right away. Had breakfast, and then a large hard moving stool! Once the blockage broke, another followed shortly thereafter.

As the day goes on I feel like I could go again, but it is 4:30pm, and so far nothing, although something may break tonight, more to follow! 6:30, actually had to go again, not much, but two in one day, wow!

It seems that once I clear these blackages from the days I do not go, then I go regularly for a bit. Then, another blockage forms and I don't go for a day or two. This MUST be a result of my pain management and the constipation issue. As I have stated, this program seems like it was starting to work at the end of it, so this may require another go at the program, we'll see!

Saturday/Sunday, 11/1 & 2, Day #40 & #41!

SATURDAY
Woke up after the party, like 6:30am, ate my breakfast and went again! Another log good solid log, and loosely bound. Then, at 8:30am, ran back upstairs and had another bowel movement, except same type and size!
It is weird that I am now going daily, and the only thing I have left is the powder, no parasite killer pills or tea, they ran out about a week ago. This stuff seems to be starting to work, but I am also at the end of my 30 day program!

SUNDAY
NOTHING to report.....

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Thursday,10/30,Day #38 & Friday, 10/31, Day #39

WOW, the DUCOLAX worked, took 2 tablets and had a "painful" movement this morning, sluggish large mass, followed by a rush of other stool.

It is now 10am, and feel a LOT better, but still feel like I have to go....more to follow!
12:30pm, another trip to the Mens room and work and a major explosion! The Ducolax are working great, however, still nothing unusal as far as the oclonix program and those results!
6:30pm, another trip, but more an urge than really going. Think that's it for today!
****************************************
FRIDAY
Nothing, back to normal, LOL! Had breakfast this morning, and made my trip, but no success. If history repeats itself, I don't think we'll see anything else today!
I WAS WRONG! Got home and we were on our way to a Halloween party when I got the urge. Went to the bathroom and did a good amount, long and solid, but almost stringy in nature. Perhaps this stuff is starting to work?!

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Wednesday, 10/29, Day #37

Well, went this morning, two little ones, nothing really...feeling that blahaise feeling again,

C O N S T I P A T I O N!

I swear, I am going to finish this powder, but it is frustrating, this constant battle. Looks like Ducolax again tonight. This program, COLONIX, has a money back guarantee, I think I may go for it and return what's left and get a refund, we'll see, more to come.

Monday, October 27, 2008

Monday,10/27-Day #35 & Tuesday, 10/28-Day #36

MONDAY - Went this morning - HUGE in circumference, but a small pile, not that much! This would indicate that I am facing constipation again.

Tuesday - NOTHING AGAIN, all day and night!

SATURDAY, 10/25, DAY #33 & SUNDAY, 10/26 DAY#34

Well, I have still not heard back from the COLONIX folks, hopefully I'll hear today, as it was the weekend?
Woke up Saturday, had my tonic (powder), and that was it as I am out of everything else...about 1 hr. later, hit the bathroom and went a ton. Still, the same regular passing, nothing adventurous or exciting in the visit, just a lot.
Monday morning as I write this, (Day #35), and haven't gone to the bathroom since Saturday morning, (SIGH). Looks like I'm back to the Ducolax if nothing happens tonight. BUT, this is the third (3rd) day, which is when I've usually been going, so we'll see! Tune in tomorrow for an update!

Friday, October 24, 2008

COLONIX FOLKS checking in!

I wrote to the Colonix people and hopefully they will look at mu Blog and give me some advice or pointers on what to do, or what is happening, I will keep you posted! YAY!!

FRIDAY, 10/24 - Day #32

Well, woke up this morning and felt like a visit to the bowl was in order. Sitting there, nothing, but felt like things were "STUCK". So, I "pushed" the issue, and started to go. Then a second wave hit me and there was no stopping it, practically filled the bowl, and very hard time flushing it all.
That is GOOD, but, still can't figure out why I'm going like 2-3 days in a row, then 3 days nothing and then the "dam breaks", and I go a ton! Weird, more to follow, I am out of the Paranil (parasite killer pills) and tea, but I still have some powder left, surprisingly like a third of the can.
As this experiment winds down, I am still debating whether it was all worth it, but I will do a final summary, and you can make your own decision.

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Thursday, 10/23, Day #31

Well, as usual nothing new to report. I am going to head to the site blogs and post my findings and see if others have had my experience. I will finish out the program, but I have not seen any of these amazing "coloids", everyone claims to see. The site says to go with two months if this is your first cleansing, but I am going to have a hard time convincing myself to do this, after this initial limited success!

DAY 2 - Nothing, feel like I'm repeating another vicious cycle and will find myself back to the laxatives! It is 1pm, and no success in going since Tuesday morning, this is Thursday afternoon!
Looking like another Ducolax tonight, I'll let you know how it goes, cause I'm not! (lol) I also haven't checked into the COLONIX Blogs yet, I'll do that tonight and report as well!

Wednesday, 10/22, Day #30 (Been 1 week)

Well, it has been a full week, I got tired of posting everyday that nothing new is happening, lol.
So, I have had some good days, and some not so good days. Last Wednesday I took the 2 Ducolax (where my thoughts left off last), and the DAM finally broke! I went like crazy, but it took 5 Ducolax over three days to break the constipation. I have been going every other day, and this week, I went Mon. morning, Tues. Morning, and today Wednesday, nothing again!
Everything I read about the program said, "don't be surprised if you go more than once a day", well, I have been "going" the same amount and regularity as I was before I started this program.
So, at this point, I would have to say, SAVE YOUR MONEY! Definitely not worth the $100+ dollars to do this thing. Another point is that the tea drinking every night does get annoying!

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Wednesday, 10/15, Day #23

Well, this is most interesting. I think this program, no, I KNOW this program has constipated me! I have not gone since Monday morning and today is Wednesday, currently 1:00pm! I took a laxative and a stool softener last night, and still nothing!

I guess it will be two more Ducolax (laxatives) tonight and hope for the best! My water consumption had been down. but it still should not be this difficult! More to come...

Sunday, October 12, 2008

MONDAY-10/13,Day 21 & TUESDAY-10/14,Day 22

MONDAY - Well, last night I started thinking, it had been 2+ days since going again. So, I took a DUCOLAX tablet (laxative). I got a chuckle, cause I'm thinking, "I'm on this colon cleansing diet and here I am taking laxatives too!" But something had to be done!

VIOLA! Woke up and sure enough, had to go. Stool was huge and hard! The Leni Lenape Indians would have been proud to make a canoe out of this sucker! LOL, you gotta have a sense of humor when your talking about going to the bathroom! Anyway, nothing else looked out of the ordinary.
**************
TUESDAY - Nothing! Haven't gone since yesterday morning! This program is supposed to be flushing me out, and I'm finding it hard to even go! My pains med must be affecting this. So, I'm starting back on stool softeners with this therapy and will probably hit a laxative if nothing happens today.
Going ONCE every two days is not what this program promised, finding this quite upsetting, COLONIX does not seem to be working for me anyway!

Saturday, October 11, 2008

Sunday, 10/12 - Day #20, WEEKEND!

Sunday, regular day and regular routine.

HARD stool this morning, had to really push. Solid stool, nothing out of the ordinary and that was it for the day. Thinking about starting back on a stool softener routine, not noticing any MAGIC with this program thus far!

Nothing else to report today...

Friday, October 10, 2008

Saturday, 10/11 - Day #19, WEEKEND!

NOTHING - NOTHING - NOTHING to report! Normal routine, and did not go today!

Friday, 10/10 - DAY #18

OK, well, I haven't gone for two days now, weird, woke up two mornings ago and went like crazy, now two days later, I finally went again this morning.
I felt "pressure" all day yesterday (Thursday), but could not go. It was bothersome so I tried a glycerin suppository and waited about an hour, but nothing. Sat down before bed, passed a ton of gas, but no movement. So off to bed I went.
I wake up and eat, then sit down and went quite a bit again. I haven't dug through anything yet to check for parasites as the program claims, everything still looks ordinary in the bowl, the stools just look lighter in color and weight. No, I HAVEN'T weighed them! I'm just saying, that they look lighter, more "fibrous" if that makes sense?
As I have stated before, I hear claims of going 3-4 times a day, so I am expecting I should go more than once every third morning, but I guess it is what it is....as I always say, TIME WILL TELL!
I pretty much expect the rest of today to be uneventful, as history has shown...

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

Day #16 & Day #17 - Holding Course!

Day #16 - Sweet Sixteen?!

Got up this morning and went again after breakfast. If nothing else, this is becoming a pretty normal routine, and I am starting to go with a minimum of effort, and going quite a bit!

I am noticing the stools are loosely bound, but other than that, nothing much more out of the ordinary.

NOTHING else happened today!

*******************************************

Day #17 - Did my routine again, but, no success going this morning. I swear, I thought by now I would be going at tleast DAILY, I hear other testimonials of going 3-4 times a day. For some reason, I am resistant to this program, or, it is simply "HOGWASH". I am committed to follow it through, but still remain skeptical and unimpressed. It is high noon and nothing, not even a slight desire to go!

Monday, October 6, 2008

Day #15 - Tuesday, 10/7/08

WOW, woke up this morning, felt fine until after breakfast. Urge to go, went and sat down, and had a bout of what felt like diarehha, but ended up being a mountain of loose stool. Didn't feel like I went a lot, but when I looked, it was quite a pile. That was 7:45am this morning, it is now 9:30am, and my butt is still burning! Still nothing out of the ordinary, but I think this being Day #15, I am going to start investigating these events more closely now. Up until now, I haven't been closely examining anything, but hey, if this is a science experiment, I need to do the research!
Nothing else happened today...

Day #14 - Monday - Monday - Bloody Monday!

So hard to get motivated on Mondays, lol. However, after Breakfast this morning, my bowels were motivated. Went before leaving to work, quite a bit and painless. So far I am seeing nothing out of the ordinary or really noticing any difference, other than I seem to be a bit more "regular". That would be a shame, such an expensive program to be "regular". But, we're going to stick with it and see where the journey leads, if anywhere. If it were just to be regular, laxatives and stool softeners would work for that! Time will tell - time will tell.....
Nothing muchmore happened today, went just a little bit about an hour after dinner, nothing to speak of. Off to drink my tea, then turn in for an early night.

Friday, October 3, 2008

Day #12 & #13 - Progress continues...

Day #12 - Normal routine again, nothing and I mean nothing happened today, normal day and no bowel movements!
Day #13 - SUNDAY - Woke up, started routine, ate breakfast and off to the bathroom. Went, not a lot, but I went. Weird how it always seems to be 1/2 sunken, 1/2 floating. I know the floating is the fatty foods, which is why it floats. Been bad again with the water, weekends are tough as I am on the run and forget!

Day #11 - A bit of heaven...

Well, woke up and got ready as usual, ate breakfast and decided to try and go. Hard mass, and hard to go, but did, big fat one. Had a lot of gas this morning too, I suspect it has something to do with the Tea drink "agitating" things as I sleep. I have mentioned this before.


About an hour later, ran back to the toliet. Had a loose movement, a lot! Examining it though, it just looked normal, loose and fiberous.


It's 1pm - nothing new. Slipping up on the water intake today as well, watching my daughter who is home sick, so I am away from my normal routine. Have to try and pick up the pace on this!

Nothing else to report today....tune-in tomorrow and we'll ee where I'm at.

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Day #10 - Here we go again...

Woke up, normal routine per the instructions, and had breakfast. Was ready to leave for work when I got the "urge". Yes, I ended up going to the bathroom. Normal amount, and eventless, but, it is nice to start knowing that I am starting to go as much as others before me have shared. I believe this is really starting to work!

Nothing else happened today! (*sigh*)

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

Day #9 - Moving along FINE!

Well, as I shared, NOTHING happened yesterday, kinda diappointing when your ingesting all this stuff - BUT - I am convinced, I have been impacted from my Meds and it is going to take a while.


Did my morning routine and waited to go when I usually go, after breakfast and coffee. NOTHING! Oh well, off to work I go. Got there and about 9:15am, had a sudden urge to go. Ran up to the bathroom and EUREKA, another passing. Quite a bit, again though and weird, about 1/2 sunk, and the other 1/2 floating, pretty much one continuous stream though. I can;t help but keep thinking and repeating that some will find this blog gross perhaps, and yet other like me, would be so grateful for the "complete" information, so it is what it is folks!


I suspect I am done for the day, judging on past performance, and I'm also keeping up with my water intake, which is essential to do, from other Blogs I have read prior to beginning my journey.

WOW! Surprise, at 6:30pm, I had to go and went again, its great! I continue to be amazed how little wiping is necessary and I am realizing how constipated I must have been!

NOTE: Came back from lunch and got scared. Suddenly, my whole midsection went into extreme pain, and sweats, and doubling over pain. I had to sit back in my chair, and not move for about 5 minutes until this passed. Eventually I was OK, it came out of nowhere! I discussed this with the wife and she said it happens sometimes to her when she has her period sometimes. It was very painful, I can only suspect and guess that a blockage started moving in my intestines possibly?! I've been fine since.....interesting!

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Day #8 - So far, Sedate!

Took my increased dosages and begin the day, got two waters down early!


It is now 12:00pm, so far nothing, but no discomfort either, so that is good. I DO have alot of excess gas in the morning, I am supposing it has something to do with that TEA drink in the evening. It is getting in the colon and moving things around and down I suspect. But, the gas is pretty odorless, some I guess no harm, no foul! Get it, No Harm, No Foul, oh well, anyway....I'll have an update later.

Nothing more to report today folks, the rest of the day was uneventful too, and it is now 9:00pm. Tune in tomorrow, maybe tomorrow!

Monday, September 29, 2008

Day #7 - Starting to be heaven!

Well, it is Day 7, increased my dosages this morning, 4 parnail and a full scoop of the Colonix mix.

Nothing happened in the morning, LOTS of gas.

10:30am, WOW! Had to run up to the bathroom, came on hard! Went like a banshee! Some sunk, a LOT floated, and it looked strange, a lot like the pictures I've seen, but it is way early for me to have a coloidal pass, so I am sure it was not that. Sorry, but I must be graphic to be accountable for this log. Others contemplating this treatment will be thankful for its authenticity. Another strange thing, hardly any wiping, and very smooth passage, this thing is finally taking off I believe! More will be revealed I am sure!

ONE OTHER NOTE: This WATER thing is killing me, man that's a lot of water I am not used to drinking, but I'm doing my best to consume 8 - 8oz. of water a day!

Managed to get all my water drank, this will continue to be my challenge.

Steeping my evening tea now for 5 min. instead of 2min., along with the newly increased dosages of the other stuff.
Nothing much more eventful today, tune in tomorrow!

Day #6 - In a Fix...

Well, today was uneventful, and I decided to start the increased dosages tomorrow, as I will be at work and have a readily available restroom, traveling in the car today.

Went in the morning, nothing unusual, and not that much, but I went!

Rest of the day was uneventful. LOTS of gas, some bothersome, but I am going to stick with this thing!

Saturday, September 27, 2008

Day #5 - It's Alive!

Well, I got up today and had breakfast. Then guess what? I had to g to the bathroom! Off I went with my weekend Sales circulars and waited.


WENT! 3 regular size stools, they looked "hard" but otherwose normal. Maybe the plumbing is starting to clear the pipes and the process is begining?!


It's NOON, let's see how the rest of today goes. Still sticking to and doing the normal routine, following the "rules" for day 1-5, although t be honest, I really can't wait to increase my colonix intake, I just don't think a 1/2 scoop is enough for me. BUT, tomorrow is Day 6 and I increase my intake anyway. I've already started steeping the tea for 4 min. instead of the recommended 2 min.


Time will tell.....stay tuned!

Well, an uneventful day, took my flora pills and drank my tea. Tune in tomorrow!

Friday, September 26, 2008

Day #4 - or should I say....FORE!

Woke up and started my normal routine, paranil tabs and colon mix with 2 - 8oz. glasses of water. Been wondering and waiting for this cleansing to start its thing! I had the two laxatives and the end of Day 2, and one trip with explosive "passing" but since the, nothing much happening. Like I said, maybe today is D Day?!
Well, the normal routine continues of ingesting my various pills and powders...

Got up this morning, did my routine, and felt like maybe I could go, so I got to the throne, sat awhile and went a little, really had to push though.

I find this needing to push thing weird, as the instructions and everyone says the program makes going easier, effortless. Also, at varying times of the day I feel pressure back there, but no real urge to "go". We'll have to see what come of this.

Maybe my pain medication is causing a problem? It does cause constipation and the instructions did say too much fiber can cause consitpation too? I don't know, I'm just "throwing it out there". We'll see what the rest of the day brings. Nothing much happened today.

Thursday, September 25, 2008

DAY#3, The Saga unfolds!

Wife was feeling "frisky" this morning so she woke me up about 6:00am. We messed around a little, when suddenly my body said "NO WAY JOSE!"

Shooting - Stabbing - Doubling Cramps and pain hit me like a brick! I ran to the bathroom!



(Now, some might say "To much information" here, but I want this Blog to be as accurate as possible, so I have to tell it like it is!)



Sat down and passed a solid piece, followed by a blast of Montezumas revenge, a steady flow of liquid waste, and we not talking pee! Funny thing is, it was not accompanied by any pain of burning, not bad! About 15 minutes later I came back and finished with another liquid evacuation. I was walking aournd the kitchen after breakfast with my stomach making noises, gas moving around I suspect!



Off to work and it is now 10am, everything seems to have settled down. Good news is that I've finally went and the Ducolax yesterday I am sure "kick started" my intestines, lol! Let's hope thats the last of the liquid passing!

Around 2pm, had a bout of discomfort again, bubbling, gas moving, but not severe.


Nothing much else happened today, it is 10:30pm, I've had my "tea" drink, so we'll see what tomorrow brings I guess....so far I am not impressed with tis program!

Day #2 - A progess report...

Followed my regimen as described in Day 1 in consuming the pills and powders, and the bloody water – water – water! I continue to pee a lot more, so that is a good thing, flushing the system!

This morning I was determined that I HAD to go, regardless of any feelings of having to go. So, I sat myself down and worked at it and managed a small specimen, but nothing to speak of. Lunchtime update, no change, still waiting…although so far today, no gas pains though so that is good!

3pm – Drinking my 8oz. water, still nothing or any desire …

7pm – Still no bowel movement and this is crazy! I’m on this plan and haven’t gone for two days? I think I need a jumpstart, so I took 2 Ducolax Laxatives…this oughta get the party started!

9pm - Taking my Probiotic flora capsules and tea as well, let’s hope for BLASTOFF!

10pm - Felt pressure, but not that "Have to go" feeling, so i sat down and kinda forced myself. Not much, but something, it's a start!

Let's see what the morning brings.

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

DAY 1 - Here we go!

OK, time to start...I woke up about 6:30am and took my first two Paranail pills, parasite killer pills. About 15 min. later, I took my first drink of the powder mixed in grape juice. In spite of the horror stories I had read about drinking this stuff, it wasn't half bad, maybe I'm used to this type drink for the gallons of Citracel I have been drinking, lol.

I need to drink 8 - 8oz. glasses of water a day, whew, not used to that! I setup a schedule and start pounding back the water during the day. Fast forward.....I did it, not so tough after-all!

Evening rolls around, and I take two good "flora" tablets, said to replace good bacteria into the colon. Then about 9pm, I drink my first glass of Kleritea, a drink I will have every night for the next 30 days as well. Call me crazy, but not so bad either!

FIRST DAY OBSERVATIONS
In spite of a lot of peeing from all the water, nothing much has happened? I get a ton of gas and rumbling in the afternoon, slight discomfort, and a lot of gas, but no bowel movement! Weird, I thought by now I'd be running to the toilet, not a diarreah running - gotta go, but I was expecting to go one or two times anyway.....nothing. I drink my tea, and hope tomorrow will be better!

Colonix, Let's do this thing, Begin...

Well, I finally decided to take the "plunge" and see how this cleansing system works?! I have a bad back and have been in pain management for about 2 years now. One of the drawbacks to the medicine is constipation. I had been reading about this cleansing procedure, so I decided to try it and see if it helps my cause.

I ordered my Kit "Colonix" from Dr. Natura on the Web. I had read a lot about Dr. Floras system, but didn't want to spend over $200.00 for my first cleansing, so I got the Dr. Natura product for about $90.00. A couple of posts to the various forums on the Web said I had gotten the second best product, but it should work just fine! Of course, I got a couple of naysayers stating the old adage, "You get what you pay for". A woman wrote me and told she tried both and they worked, she just liked Dr. Floras product better for various reasons I can post at a later date.

Anyway, my package came in, I read all the instructions, and I am excited to start on this new journey! Let the games begin!
