My wife and I both used the DrNatura COLONIX for the suggested 3 month period they suggest and let me tell you before the the use of the product I went to the bathroom at least 3 times a day never a problem my wife not so maby once a day but after useing the product it caused us both chronic constipation and problems I called the company They said they were sorry but only refunded us for the 60 days worth so I went on line to search for other colonix consumers with the same complaints. I found only a couple, Strange I thought to myself after reading a Doctors report on the ingrediants in the DrNatura Colonix product and that after a 2 week use of some of the ingrediants in the colonix product it would cause major health problems so I searched further because there are so many good Testimonies on the product and no bad ones or bad comments about the product . What I found out is that most of the reviews are from other sponsers for the DrNatura Colonix product and if you order it from their site then they get a commission from the company. It has been over a year now since useing their product I still have a hard ball from their product inside my bowels causing it to pop out of my navel. I want to start a class action lawsuit against them. Also my wife is still having problems from useing this product. I know there are many others out there . I suggest to stay away from their product.

This is an awesome product! I have been doing this product for years AND IT WORKS - but guess what? You have to read the instructions and realize that all people have different shapes and weights and when they say drink water - they mean DRINK WATER! Otherwise you will end up being constipated or Impacted which is NOT fun. Do the math on the water for your weight- good rule of thumb is your weight divided by 2 is the min oz of water- you should be drinking. Your compacted problem is due insufficient water intake, not the product.

I am not with Dr natura company. I have used the Colonix kit on myself, my family and my clients for over 10 years. Whenever I saw someone have the issues you have, it's because they started too fast (took too much of the fiber). Or failed to drink enough water, or did not have enough magnesium containing foods/supplements in their diet. Fiber, whether from this company or from the vegetables and grains you eat, must have fluid to keep it soft, absorb toxins and so the body can move it thru the inestines and out. Look at your diet, your water consumption, your mineral intake, your body's pH. I hate that you had trouble with this product. I know the original owner sold to a bigger manufacturer. Still, In my opinion, it has been one of the best products made for cleansing the bowels .

The first time I ever tried Colonix I liked it. I think it really works. Last year I tried again I noticed something different. It wasn’t as good the first time I’ve tried. Now,I understand that it’s been sold to different company. So formula has been change? I was little disappointed. It’s expensive.

No complaints. I first tried Dr. Natura several years ago and afterwards I never felt so good. I was surprised I could feel this great. It was the best thing I did for myself. I followed the instructions, I made sure to drink LOTS of water thru out the day and ate Organic and health foods. I did both Colon Cleanse and Toxin Out together. Next month I plan to do this cleanse again, I can't wait! The longest I have done the detox was 45 days. I felt so clean I didnt think I needed to do a whole two months. A lot of junk left my body just like it said it would do. then after that everything was golden. Dr Natura is a wonderful product, I research for 3 months before deciding which will be the best and I chosen Dr Natura and I made a great choice. Its crucial to drink plenty of water with this cleanse.

Was the tea used along with the Colonix Fiber? Some bad reviews I've seen only Review the Fiber without the Tea! Start slowly with the fiber/ cleanse? Enough water? I had severee celiac that no about of SCD, GAPs deits, Probiotics, Ferments, etc, etc could help fix my system, and this program did! If someone has severe inflammatory Bowel Disease I suggest Dr Schulze #1 +2 to soothe the system first (2 especially heals and soothes) and then do the Colonix for the next 2 months.

Myself and others have been using DrNatura for over 10 years with nothing short of miraculous results. Never had any problems. You all must have been doing something wrong or are shills for big pharma.

My daughter took their products about 10 years ago and each time she tried to stop taking the product she couldn't have any bowel movements and each time she would called the company to ask why that when she tries to stop taking their product that she cannot have any bowel movements, and they told her to keep on taking the products. This went on for a full year and a half calling them and telling her to continue taking the product. She eventually stopped taking their products and even now after 10 years she still have lots, lots of problem having bowel movements. It cost me thousands of dollars to send her to have colonics and it still didn't have much help. I am still paying thousands of dollars to send her to other people to try to help her. Each night she has to take a full cup of Senna leaves boiled into a tea with 70 capsuled of the dried powdered Senna in order to have bowel movements. It is an awful company.

Im sorry for your daughters bad experiences, did you try changing life style and diet? She should avoid gluten, move more and take natural probiotics. Avoid chemicals all kinds. Also eat more mangoes and oat porridge soaked overnight. No serials at all. Maybe she intolerant to some of the products she eat. Need to review all diet and each product. And of course drinking water and relaxation therapy. Lots of people constipated, because are freak control. Allow life to flow and constipation will relax.

I have used Dr. Natura for years. As a Holistic Consultant, I typically create my own blends of herbs and cleansing options. However, Dr. Natura was the one commercial product that seemed to nicely pull what I view as, essential for health components, all together in a very synergistic way. Caveat: I have not used their products since the powers-that-be came down on them (YES, THEY WERE THAT GOOD). First they change the paranil formula, which for me, made it subpar and pretty much in line with other over-the-counter options of that time (Booo). Although, that's not exactly true for the average consumer, but for what I needed, it was. Nevertheless, I echo what clwisehart has said above. I too, suggested this to many of my clients and family (before the company was sold) and had AMAZING results. My husband personally after 90 days, lost 40 lbs, which may seem odd, but his weight was mostly internal impaction. He stomach looked like a tire before Dr. Natura, but afterwards, his abdominal area showed what was true fat, which wasn't much when compared to the ROUND keg he had before. His stomach literally deflated like a cartoon. Of course he still had a little bit of a stomach, but we were able to see what was truly visceral fat after this program. His regularity also continued even after he completed the program, pretty much passing his bowels after each meal. I have no idea what the product is like now. I am disheartened to hear that anyone would share the experiences that have been described in complaint. However, I again echo what has already been stated, please ensure adequate water intake "daily, " proper vitamin and mineral balance (especially magnesium, which responsible for over 300+ metabolic processes in your body DAILY (think ATP, Calcium distribution, metabolism, and more) AND potassium, which is essential for digestion among many other things [think Hydrogen potassium ATPase]), whole food source diet (plenty of roughage to naturally clean the colonic/intestinal pathways), etc. Sending prayer for your recovery. Bless you and your family.

I've been taking this product for a few years now, BUT YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE IT EVERYDAY NO MATTER WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONS TELL YOU! I followed it verbatim for a complete 30 days, and after that I gave my body a break. Anything that does this sort of cleanse is dangerous when used constantly. It will have a reverse effect on your body. I didn't have constipation after I stopped using it, but did notice that I was not going to the bathroom as frequent as I was when I first started this product. I read up on some of the ingredients and found that the herb Senna will clean you out, ( Kleritea, the herbal tea that it comes with) but it's not good to use it all the time because your body will become dependent on it, which will give you a reverse effect. Now, I only use this after a long vacation or when I know I ate too much! In the meantime, our body needs natural fiber that can keep us regular. Try incorporating organic ground flax seed in your food throughout the day to make you regular again, but it's not good to use Colonix each and every day, although it gives you a good, good feeling...ahhhh! Do your homework before you become hooked on something just because the doctor told you to, or has been recommended. Unfortunately, doctors don't know everything because all they want is to see you keep coming in for visits knowing they will get paid! My doctor told me that Senna was okay to take on a regular, and this was after I told her that I read information about it that told me otherwise, so you know I got rid of her...she is NO LONGER MY PRIMARY DOCTOR! People, sometimes we need to be ahead of the game!

If you are starting a class action lawsuit, I'm in. This is so dangerous and they are KNOWINGLY putting TOXIC herbs into this product without thoroughly informing people of the consequences. I cannot believe this company has gotten away w this for so long!
