Celebrity colon cleanse.

Celebrity’s colon cleanse

New York (ANI): As more celebrities jump on the detox bandwagon, it’s also catching on with the general public. But some medical experts say these body-cleansing diets are not only unnecessary, they can also be dangerous.

Dr. David Robbins, at Beth Israel Medical Center, said that detox diets do not work, in fact they can cause more harm than good. “The concept that you need to detox your body like you would take your car for an oil change is entirely off base,” The New York Daily New quoted him, as saying. Here’s how some celeb-tested cleanses measure up.

An overview of the very popular detox diets done by large numbers of celebrities:

Oprah Winfrey & Kathy Frenton's 21-Day Cleanse.

The spiritual plan preaches ‘conscious eating’ by cutting all animal products, gluten, caffeine, sugar and alcohol for up to 21 days. “Dietary excess and gluttony is not good for you, sure, but to start excluding major food groups is foolish,” Robbins said.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Dr. Joshi's holistic detox.

This plan promises transformation in 21 days by avoiding acidic, toxic and refined foods so the body’s pH balance becomes alkaline. “It’s all fantasy at best and dangerous at its worst,” Robbins said.

Robin Quivers & Martha's Vineyard Detox.

The radio co-host followed Roni DeLuz’s ’21 Pounds in 21 Days.’ The fast sheds a pound a day by subsisting on live juices, enzymes – and regular colonics. Robbins said that the body is expert at cleaning itself. “We know from thousands of colonscopies, in which we peer into the lining of the colon, that there’s no toxic residue,” he said.

The pop star slimmed down drastically to play skinny ‘Dreamgirls’ singer Deena Jones by living on water mixed with lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. “You don’t have to starve yourself,” Robbins said. He sees liquid-diet patients come in with electrolyte imbalances ‘and profound diarrhea and nausea.’

About the LIBBE:

The LIBBE device (= ‘Lower Intestine Bottom Bowel Evacuation’) provides privacy, dignity and efficacy. The basis for providing the client a relaxing, safe and comfortable colon treatment session. The LIBBE device is therefore considered as ‘the Rolls Royce’ of Colon Hydrotherapy treatment devices.

The LIBBE machine is an colon hydrotherapy device, approved by the FDA. The LIBBE is an open system:

“What is an open system? In an open system, the cleanse is relaxing, safe, comfortable, and private, allowing client and/or therapist to be in control. On an open system, the rectal tube is the size of a pencil, (we jokingly say a No. 2 pencil). Once the flow is turned on, there is no need to interrupt the cleanse to release. You will fill up with water and when you need to push out, the tube will stay inserted and whatever needs to pass from the colon will pass around the tube and down the drain. One distinct advantage of the open system is that there is no odor at all. Another advantage is that the client can have as much privacy as he or she desires.”

What is the function of your colon?

In general the major function of the colon appears to be: extraction of water and salts from feces. Therefore the colon is a kind of a storage tube for solid wastes.

ABOUT THE FUNCTION OF YOUR COLON:
As you probably know: the large intestine comes after the small intestine in the digestive tract. Usually the large intestine measures approximately 1.5 meters in length. There are differences in the large intestine between different organisms, but the large intestine is mainly responsible for storing waste, reclaiming water, maintaining the water balance, and absorbing some vitamins, such as vitamin K. By the time the chyme has reached this tube, almost all nutrients and 90% of the water have been absorbed by the body. As the chyme moves through the large intestine, most of the remaining water is removed. The bacteria break down some of the fiber for their own nourishment. Acetate, propionate, and butyrate are created as waste products. These are in turn used by the cell lining of the colon for nourishment. This is an example of a symbiotic relationship and provides about one hundred calories a day to the body.
