[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 263993, member: 1991"] Prunes are cheaper... and magnesium sulfate, or citrate - definitely dynamite. And yes, it can cause cramping. Any of these can (including prunes), if you get a bigger dose than your particular body needs. It's a bit like all those ads for omega 3s, for acidophilus etc which say thay you should be getting X amount per day, "and who can get that in their daily diet? None of us, which is why we have to get it in a supplement" - I get so angry with these ads, because the human race has evolved to get our requirements from our diet, not from supplements. If the claim is that you need X amount and you can only get x amount from your diet, then chances are - the claim is exaggerated. That's not to say that I don't take supplements - but I take them because I can't eat as much as most people without gaining weight, the sort of foods that contain calcium, for example, are also too fattening for me. PLus I'm on prednisone, which is diabetogenic and also osteoporotic. I NEED to take extra calcium and get it in a calorie-free form. While I love to drink milk, it would put weight on me fast. Another problem with colonics are a regular thing - same as problems with regular use of laxatives; your body gets so used to getting assistance to do its job, that eventually you NEED these things in order to evacuate bowel contents properly. It takes a long time to re-train your body to eliminate waste by itself, if you've used laxatives or other assistance for years. If you end up as a person who has to have regular colonics, then of course they would make you feel fabulous! I don't use such artificial means (apart from the prunes, which are a recent addition, due to my diet) and so I can get the same great feeling of being cleaned out, just by doin' what comes natcherly...
