“Is colon cleansing without fasting possible? I would love to cleanse my colon! However, drinking only lemonade or limeade for ten days straight doesn’t seem to be a safe way to do things. I live in Arizona, and trust me, when it is 120 degree’s outside you don’t want to be running on lemon juice only! Is there a safe and effective method for doing colon cleansing that includes some food?”

A reader submitted the question above about if colon cleansing without fasting is possible…

That is interesting because I find that when I’m in extremely hot weather like you are describing that my body has no appetite for “normal” solid food and that I really only desire, salads,  fruit, water, and juice. I also find that hot weather is best for me for doing liquid type fasts like the lemonade thing (The Master Cleanse is what its called) because my body temperature goes down when I don’t consume carbs and of course that isn’t an issue when the heat is blazing.

But to answer your question…YES! As effective as The Master Cleanse (lemonade or limeade with pure maple syrup, and cayenne pepper) is for some people (but certainly not all), there are some excellent colon cleansing programs available that allow you to pretty much live and eat the way you are now…and all you have to do is to take some herbal capsules everyday for a set period of time. Some colon cleanse formula’s involve mixing some powder with juice and drinking it too. These type of off-the-shelf herbal colon cleansers are extremely effective. One way to make them even more effective is to drink lots of pure water (which you should be doing anyway) and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables too.
