My Amazing Amoeba Colon Cleanse

There are a huge variety of colon cleansers on the market, from the super natural herbal ones to others that contain things no one can even pronounce. Most of them are on the pricey side, the more benefits, the more money they want. However, I have discovered an amazing way to do a colon cleanse, for mere pennies.

Amoebas. Those tiny single cell critters that you studied in high school biology are alive and well in the real world, particularly third world countries. On a recent trip to Mexico, I sampled some street food that was obviously not up to our health standards. Although there have been a few stomach upsets from this sort of eating in the past, they did not prepare me for my astounding clean out.

Colon cleanses are good for you because they eliminate the built up toxins in the intestines. One of the most common comments by those who are successful in maintaining their bowels nice and clean is that they are able to go 2-4 times a day and have nice light brown stools which are fairly soft. Excuse me if this is too much information, it will get worse, I promise.

The first thing a colon cleanse does is get rid of everything in you. Often, the laxative is taken on an empty stomach and a true cleansing requires fasting for anywhere from one day to a week. During this time, you can drink liquids to stay hydrated, and will get rid of anything that has been stuck in your intestines for the past several years. That's the theory, at any rate.

With amoebas, the cleansing begins quickly. First, you find yourself rushing to the bathroom where everything is expelled both upstairs and down, in waves. This usually goes on for about 12 hours. Once the first stage of the cleansing is over, you will probably be too weak to do much except lay in bed and sip Gatorade. That's what I did, anyway. The nausea keeps you from eating, essentially forcing a fast that lasts anywhere from two to three days.

During the fast, the body continues to expel anything that enters the stomach as quickly as possible, often within minutes. There is also a lot of gas produced during this time. After three days of not eating and being maintained completely empty, I had lost a few pounds and found that things were finally getting back to normal.

Herbal teas eliminated the amoebas for me and upon returning home, I discovered that for the price of a simple tortilla con carne (about fifty cents), I had achieved that envied 2-4 times a day bowel regularity, complete with light brown color! Talk about saving money, why doesn't everyone get amoebas?
