Yes, because it is not a laxative you might still need to continue using laxatives with Colon Support while it works on repairing the muscles of the colon. You will find that the more the Colon Support works, the less laxatives you will need so you can wean yourself off laxatives completely.

Laxatives are irritants and damage receptor cells and may lead to a sluggish bowel and less ability to eliminate waste on your own (dependency may occur). See similar questions...

Laxatives are very dangerous medications. Many anorexics and bulimics take them in the mistaken belief that they aid weight loss. I myself took them for about a year, overdosing at least once or twice a week. Laxatives are very addictive and, as the sufferer's body becomes dependent on them, it can no longer carry out its natural functions unaided. Laxatives do not actually cause weight loss because they work on the bowels and once food has reached that point, all the calories have been removed. See similar questions...

You can give up laxatives in a number of different ways, either by cutting down on them slowly or stopping them in one go. Unfortunately, giving up addictive drugs such as laxatives is never easy. It took my body quite a while to train itself to work without them again. If you decide to just stop all of the laxatives you are taking, you will need to readjust your diet or else you are likely to suffer from constipation. See similar questions...

Because fiber laxatives are not systematically absorbed, they do not increase risks during pregnancy. Antacids also pose little risk to the developing fetus, but these agents may bind iron in the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, excessive use of antacids during pregnancy could contribute to iron-deficiency anemia. It is best to limit intake of antacids by avoiding foods and beverages that may increase heartburn, discontinue smoking and eating small, frequent meals. See similar questions...

Well, everything has its proper place, but these are not really substitutes for colonics. Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum, (the lowest 8-12 inches of the colon.) Usually, one or two pints of water are used to do that. Suppositories are intended to accomplish the same task. Laxatives, particularly herbal laxatives, are formulated for various purposes, such as to undo the effects of temporary constipation, but the 'Rolls Royce' of colon cleansing, without question is Colon Hydrotherapy.

Laxatives and enemas are not substitutes for colonic irrigation. Laxatives act as a chemical irritant and stimulate the muscular walls to abnormally contract to expel the irritating substances.Administrating them orally can also interfere higher up the alimentary tract where important digestion takes place. Enemas are helpful to clean out the lowest 25 to 30cm of colon, but you are missing out approximately the last 1.2meters. See similar questions...

To clean out the lower part of the colon, enemas are fine. But, you are missing about four feet of the colon. Laxatives are an irritant to the body. Therefore, the body produces a thin, watery substance that goes through the colon, but leaves behind impacted toxins and waste. See similar questions...

For most people drinking some laxative tea or the “sea salt shake” is recommended during the diet. This is just to stimulate a daily bowel movement and is not a big part of the diet. Some people are under the misconception that drinking lots of laxative tea will help them lose weight. It is simply not true and it is not safe. We only recommend drinking up to 2 cups of the herbal laxative tea per day during the length of the cleanse. See similar questions...

Well, every thing has its proper place, but these things aren't substitutes for enemas or colonics. Enemas are useful for short-term release of the colon. Usually, one or two litres of water are used to do that and it will of course not work as deep as a colonic which uses 40-80 litre in one session. Suppositories and laxatives particularly herbal laxatives, are formulated for various purposes, such as: to undo the effects of temporary constipation, to prepare for surgery, etc. See similar questions...

The over the counter products are not substitutes for colonies. Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum (the lower part of the colon). Suppositories are intended to do the same thing.

No. On the contrary they help restore normal bowel function by promoting improved tone, and aiding in tissue restoration. No, not really. Any discomfort is probably on a par with what your normal bowel movements are like. Things might be a little worse if you have a distal bowel pathology such as haemorrhoids, for example.

Both natural and chemical laxatives can irritate the colon wall and destroy both friendly and unfriendly bacteria in the bowel. If laxatives are taken more than periodically, your body may adjust and become dependent on them. Laxatives may interfere with the rest of the digestive system and could cause further problems. Conversely, colon hydrotherapy uses water to gently clean the colon, and thus, does not irritate the colon walls. See similar questions...

Laxatives are an irritant. They produce a thin, watery substance full of toxins and waste that can accumulate on the walls of the colon. Enema do not cleanse the entire colon. In contrast, during a colonic, the water goes all the way through the bowel to the illeocecal valve (this is where the small and large intestine meet). If you do not have access to a colonic, however, an enema can be a good option for immediately removing toxins. See similar questions...
