Laxatives The Good and Bad

Jul 3rd, 2010 • - Comment by Tom Coghill
Fruits and fruit juices have a natural laxative effect. Some believe this assists detoxification after all pruns are a fruit. The soft fibers have a cleansing effect on the intestine. This laxative effect stops after the colon happily adjusts to the soft fibers. (If fruit juices cause excessive diarrhea during fasting, use psyllium or the enema to eliminate the problem.) If used moderately for short periods, laxatives can help remove toxins from the intestine during a fast. Some people feel that the most effective cleansing is in using the enema kit combined with natural laxatives. Others prefer using psyllium and a glass of prune juice or senna tea. If you choose herbal laxatives, never take them for prolonged periods. Moderate use of natural laxatives, while juice fasting or while on a mucus-less diet is a matter of personal preference. Warning: Excessive dieting, fasting, continuous use of laxatives, low-self-esteem and preoccupation with weight loss are the signs of an eating disorder.
