Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:

Fermented Vegetables:

In this video, I want to give you my opinion on colon cleansing. 

There are several different types of colon cleansing: 
• Colon hydrotherapy 
This is where water goes up the rectum into the large intestine and flushes everything out. This can flush out you’re electrolytes. You may want to take electrolytes after, so you don’t become deficient. You’re also flushing out your friendly bacteria, which would need to be put back in. 

• Herbal laxatives
Creates a purging of the material out of the colon 

• Colema 
This is a combination of an enema and a colonic. The problem is that it’s very temporary. It also flushes out your electrolytes. If you’re already deficient in electrolytes, this can cause dizziness and even affect your heart. The apple juice a person is supposed to drink while doing the colema, can also keep the blood sugars up, preventing ketosis. 

Fixing your diet (doing keto) may be the best way to go. Typically, fixing the diet can fix whatever issue caused you to want to do the colon cleansing to begin with. I’m not against colon hydrotherapy as a short-term solution for constipation or other conditions. But, it should be supervised, and the electrolytes and friendly bacteria need to be put back in. 

What you can do: 
1. Start fasting 
2. Decrease inflammation 
3. Consume phytonutrients 
4. Consume fermented vegetables

I've never heard of a doctor who explains very, very well. We're lucky Dr. Berg has his YT channel.

As a closed system colon hydrotherapist, I always give a pro biotic immediately after the session to put back the little bit of friendly bacteria that comes out with all the toxins.
And I strongly encourage clients to put on the nice big salad they eat an hour later, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to put back the electrolytes lost during the session.

I've done prolonged fasting and could not believe how long stuff was still coming out of me after eating nothing and drinking water and electrolytes. I 100% agree with fixing the diet, IF & Keto, and if you really want a reset, cycle in some prolonged fasts but do your research.

Interesting video! We are an active couple in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. We still strive for a healthy body, a calm mind, and a positive outlook. And we feel better than ever! We are doing research for our new YouTube channel and hope to inspire others. Learned a lot here. Thank you!

I do two colonics every year. Within a couple of hours afterward my body feels great as there is a relief of stiffness from within my joints.

" you must fix your diet. . "

Years ago I got so terribly constipated on low carb. It really gave me anxiety trying it again even though I'd lost alot of weight. After alot of illness I'm now on keto and have never been so regular. It's like my body is finally functioning really well. A healthy gut works so well. I love it. Plus 19kgs down in weight. It's a win win

I suffered terribly from constipation until I stopped using artificial sweeteners. I haven't had a problem since I stopped all artificial sweeteners. I don't even chew a piece of sugar free gum anymore. Changed my life.

Have done several colonics (once/year) and found my brain fog cleared up and I felt great afterwards. Good to know that it is important to take electrolytes and probiotocs when I do one. Next time I will do that!

Colon cleaning is vital toward cancer prevention for people.

As always, thank you so much for taking the time to educate people for better health!!

[nataliepeterson]

Dr. Berg has the knowledge and kindness all doctors should have, but most they're just arrogant and don't care about patients.
He explains everything so clear and his indications are totally effective because always works ! Thank you and God bless you Dr. Berg 🙏

I'm on the side doing MORE COLON CLEANSING (like enemas) because
most of us have SO MUCH WASTE building up in our intestines, it's FAR WORSE than we think....!!

[verborgenewahrheit]

There is another reason to do colon therapy: fasting. Colon therapy is very important during fasting to prevent reabsorbtion of toxins through the large intestine

[srinivasavissa]

This is one of an ancient Indian health tradition .

For younger kids, consume one or two spoons of castor oil.

For adults, “warm water 1 liter + 1 spoon of sea salt” drink at 5am early morning. This will flush the colon and rejuvenate health.

I practice this salt water cleansing every two months

Eat ‘ghee pongal’ or ‘ghee kichdi’ or any rice+ghee+pudding to seal the intestinal walls

Love the ending, LOL :) "Alright, that's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it." You're the best, Dr. Berg. The absolute best source of health info I've ever found, and you saved my health and life many times over, thank you!

[sjaron]

People can be very extreme in their opinions about enemas (bizarre/weird or absolutely essential) so I appreciate your common sense approach to this subject.

[michellemoffett]

Good advice! I had chronic constipation and hernias and I fixed my diet and it helped dramatically! What a miracle and I tried everything before and no dice!
