Any natural detox program designed to clean and detox the colonneeds to address some key areas. And it is not as "quick andeasy" as it is sometimes said to be. In fact, colon cleansing isa very thorough and in-depht process that must have some veryspecific functions. The detox program must:

*Help bring the colon back to life by stimulating muscle movement

*Encourage fecal matter to move through the system

*Halt putrefaction (rotting)

*Draw old fecal matter off and out of the colon

*Disinfect

*Draw out poisons and toxins (chemicals and drug residues)

*Help eliminate heavy metals as mercury and lead

*Soothe and promote healing of the entire digestive tract

*Increase the flow of bile to clean the gall bladder,bile ducts and liver.

*Promote healthy intestinal flora.

*Destroy and expel parasites.

*Destroy Candida albicans overgrowth.

*Maintain regularity

*Decrease straining

*Speed up the transit time of feces through the large intestine

That is a lot, huh? So how the heck does one obtain this type ofcleansing? Well, for starters, let's look at the difference between colon detox and what is also known as colon "correction."

Colon Correction and Detoxification

Once you look at the requirements of a good Intestinal Program,it's easy to see that no one formula or magic pill can accomplishit all. What I recommend is a two-pronged approach.

1. A colon correction formula
2. A colon detoxifier

Colon Corrective

A good corrective formula provides both cleansing and healing tothe entire gastro-intestinal system. It stimulates peristalsis (the muscular movement of the colon). It halts putrefaction anddisinfects, soothes, and heals the mucous membrane lining of yourentire digestive tract.

Entirely herbal, with no harsh, habit-forming chemicals, aneffective activating formula will also help to:

*Improve digestion
*Relieve gas and cramps
*Increase the flow of bile (which in turn cleans the gall bladder, bile ducts, and liver)
*Destroy Candida albicans overgrowth
*Promote a healthy intestinal flora
*Destroy and expel intestinal parasites
*Increase gastro-intestinal circulation

When you go to your local health food or vitamin shop, look for a formula that contains all organic herbs such as: CapeAloe, Senna, Cascara Sagrada, Barberry Rootbark, Ginger Root,African Bird Pepper, Fennel, and the great Tibetan intestinal health herb, Termianlia Cherbula.

These herbs work as an intestinal detoxifier to loosen and draw out old fecal matter, waste, and toxins. And they stimulate peristalsis (the muscular movement of the colon). They also help halt putrefaction and disinfect and soothe and heal the mucous membrane lining of your entire digestive tract.

Colon Detoxifier

In contrast with an activator, a good detoxifier is cleansing andsoothing. It is to be used periodically in conjunction with thecorrector. The detoxifier is a strong purifier and intestinalvacuum. It draws old fecal matter off the walls of your colon andout of any bowel pockets.

It also works to draw out poisons,toxins, heavy metals such as mercury and lead. A good detoxifier will also remove over 2,000 known drug residues.

Its natural properties will soften old hardened fecal matter for easy removal and also make it an excellent remedy for any inflammation or irritation in the stomach and intestines. This formula is helpful in irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, and hemorrhoids.

And on top of everything else, this formula will eliminate theeffects of food poisoning or stomach flu in 20-40 minutes

Look for a formula that contains all organic herbs such as: ApplePectin, Montmorillonite Clay, Slippery Elm Inner Bark, Marshmallow Root, Fennel Seed, Activated Willow Charcoal, and Psyllium seeds and husks.

This is a lot of information, but it is crucial for you to know it. Most of all, I implore you to take action, especially if your diet over the years has included a lot of fatty foods.

The Dr. Christopher Quick Colon Corrective (Part 1) and Quick Colon Detox Powder (Part 2) are effective and can help you achieve the type of cleansing we just talked about.

Just follow the instructions and, for the very best results, carry out the cleansing while fasting. I recommend you fast for no less than 48 hours while doing the cleansing.

That way you give the digestive system enough "down time" to absorb the cleansing formulas and expel toxic debris. If you can fast for three to seven days, then that is even better. A seven-day water fast with colon cleansing is optimal.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
