Out of town for Easter Holiday’s
So I went out of town for the Easter weekend. And I wasn’t able to update my blog because I didn’t want to log onto a “My Colon Cleansing Blog” on my extended family’s computer. It just doesn’t seem right. However, I managed to continue on with my Colonix Cleansing program. So, to continue on with the blog format I’ve established thus far, I will be doing lots of updates today, but I will put them in their respective categories.
I must admit, that I am a little disappointed. I’ve been feeling really down since starting this colon cleansing thing. I was kinda looking forward to taking a day or two off of the Colonix, just to see if my body could recooperate. Unfortanetly, that didn’t happen, and I am still feeling bogged down. Who knew that in order to “clean” out your colon and digestive tract, you had to basically break down the routines your body goes through on a daily basis. I must admit that this has been harder than expected. Trying to juggle the parasite pills and fiber mix, and still try to drink the KleriTea everynite. It’s tough trying to get everything taken care of on a timely manner, without complete disregard for your daily routine. If I would’ve known it would be this tough, I would’ve never started. BUT, I must continue on.
I decided pretty early on in my visit, that I would not tell anyone about the Colonix program. They wouldn’t understand. Plus, my aunt is ultra-conservative, she most likely has never heard of Colonix, and I know she adamently opposes anything that isn’t from a prescription company. Beside’s taking any sort of One-A-Day multivitamin, she’s pretty much against any sort of supplemental vitamin. When discussing “alternative medicine” with her, I mentioned that I drink a Whey Protein shake after a robust workout. I explained to her what the Whey Protein does for me and my muscles. She quietly (and politely) sat through my little Whey Speil, and then countered with “Why do you feel that you need the extra protein, if your body needed it, it would produce it for you.” Seriously, that’s what she said. How do you argue with that?
I also mentioned that I was considering adding Fish Oil / Omega 3 to my diet, because I don’t eat much seafood, and that I beleive that it would help me maintain a healthy heart. She told me to quit trying to take a “short-cut to good health” and to eat fish once a week. Admitedly, she makes a good point. But, here’s the problem - I don’t like fish. I’ve mentioned on here that I’m a very picky eater, and introducing more seafood to my diet would be rather difficult for me. Maybe I’m just the naive one in my family, because I have no problem introducing vitamins and supplements into my diet to improve my lifestyle. I mean, that’s what products like Colonix and Omega 3 are out there for. They help support a healthy lifestyle.
Am I right on this? Anyone?

This might just be me, but with the way people eat in our society, I think supplements are extremely beneficial. Yeah, you could start eating more fish, but the majority of readily-available fish meals are either deep fried, battered beyond recognition, or uber-processed. So unless you just LIKE that sort of thing, why NOT take the fishoil? I’m taking it now, so be forewarned that you might burp up tunajuice.
As for your body making what it requires, then why do we need to cook food? If we assume that our bodies should automatically make the adaptations that it needs, then we should be able to process raw meat. But we can’t.
In my opinion, with all the shortcuts already being taken with our food that are detrimental to our health, I think that the shortcut of ingesting vitamins and supplements is one worth taking.
But as I said before, that’s just my opinion.
