I don't know if this the right thread or even site for this question, but I'm just starting to get into the Paleo diet and living... so excited!
I'm starting FRESH so i'm loading up on probiotics, as well as some other things to rid any present Candida in my/our system (my husband has psoriasis and we're thinking due to Candida)
Does Sarah, or anyone, have any advice or suggestions on Colon Cleansing? Do it or not? Respectable brands, etc???

Agree - many of the colon cleansing supplements are just laxatives in disguise. Typically, a waste of money and scam.

but i would think we need a good cleansing of some type, from time to time, to eliminate toxins and build up that isn't expelled naturally.......

momoffour, did you read the articles I posted above? The second one discusses exactly what you asked about. Basically, our bodies SHOULD expel everything if you're eating a diet that supports your liver & kidneys. Doing a cleanse doesn't get to the source of the problem (which is that most people who need cleanses eat garbage "foods"). If you're eating a great diet, you shouldn't need to "cleanse" at all. That's what our bodies are built to do. We wouldn't have survived this long if cleansing were necessary for survival We just need to get our bodies back into shape so they run properly again.

Yeah, i can see that side but after eating garbage and living the life that I wasn't suppose to be for SO LONG, I think a light cleanse is good to get things refreshed, moving and started new THEN... I will continue to live more healthy and eat more consciously, just like the 'hunters and gatherers" that we are I'll let you know how it goes!

I think you'll find your body will react to cutting out all the garbage anyway. I personally would be hesitant to add to that reaction.
