Last week I wrote about my first days <\/a>on the Dr. Natura Colonix <\/a>cleanse.\u00a0 Today I will take you through the second week of my cleanse experience.<\/p>\n

On week two you are to double your intake, i.e. four capsules and a whole scoop of the powder.\u00a0 I was ok with half of that, but definitely have to eat something very soon after taking this new doubled-up amount.\u00a0 Remember, you take the capsules and powder first thing in the a.m. on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n

In short, I really have not noticed a significant difference in any way, but do not feel that unrelenting fullness of the first few days.\u00a0 I do not feel especially cleansed or energetic and have been following the plan to a tee.\u00a0 Well, until today that is.<\/p>\n

This morning when I awoke I had such a horrible pain right in the middle of my stomach.\u00a0 I think this was because all of the water I have been pouring into my system is stressing my system.\u00a0 Once I went to the bathroom the pain wore off in 10 to 15 minutes.\u00a0 I felt like my body needed the day off, so did not take my daily dose of the Colonix herbal capsules or powder drink.\u00a0 I do plan to pick up where I left off tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Like I reported last week, the cleanse recommends that you consume eight 8 ounce glasses of water each day of the cleanse on top of whatever else you drink.\u00a0 I drink two cups of coffee, two glasses of milk, and a glass of carrot juice each day.\u00a0 So, this amount of liquid is ALOT and, yes, does interrupt my sleep.<\/p>\n

You may be wondering what this cleanse is doing to my \u201csystem\u201d.\u00a0 As far as elimination goes, I am probably going<\/em> less — skipping every other day or so.\u00a0 Hopefully skipping a day of the program will not make that issue worse.<\/p>\n

Right now, no real advantages or disadvantages are apparent with the cleanse.\u00a0 Maybe next week I will feel totally refreshed, who knows, this is only week two of a four week cleanse.\u00a0 And I am not disappointed.\u00a0 I mean, I would much rather have little to no effects than feel sick or have to be near a bathroom at all times.\u00a0 I just wonder how many toxins are really being eliminated from my system.\u00a0 Could the same results be achieved by simply drinking all of these fluids?\u00a0 And are all of the fluids really good for you?<\/p>\n

Sorry that this week\u2019s colon cleanse update is not very exciting.\u00a0 I hope I have more to tell you next week…I think.<\/p>\n
