Colonix vs Oxypowder - please advise!

[infinitysymbol]

Hi. I am wondering what do people think is superior for a colon cleanse, Colonix or Oxypowder? I live in London, UK and getting Colonix is difficult (I need to buy from the US and that is very expensive), whereas Oxypowder is well distributed here and much cheaper. However, at the end of the day money is not that important if Colonix is better than Oxypowder. I want to do a cleanse as I have psoriasis and dry, sandpaper like skin. I also have some excess weight (not much) but most importantly I have very irregular bowel movements and mostly just liquidy stools. Also, if anyone has any other recommendations. I would also like to use an anti-parasite product. The Colonix incorporates this into their main package but I would have to buy a product to supplement the Oxypowder. I would really appreciate any recommendations or advice (for some reason here in the UK people are so clueless about all these products that are coming out of the USA and it feels like we are lightyears behind you guys

Thank you in advance!

This is an excellent question! The core of the question is really whether oxygen-based cleansers or fiber/herbal-based cleansers are more effective. Let us put aside the quality issue for the sake of simplicity and focus just on the general categories.

Oxygen-based cleansers, Oxy-Powder, work by introducing nascent oxygen into the small and large intestine. This reacts with the compacted fecal matter breaking it down into a liquid and some gas. This process does not stimulate or irritate the muscles of the colon. It also has the added benefit of oxygenating the tissues. Bowel movements tend to be very soft to completely liquid and very easy to pass. These can be used for long periods of time on a maintenance protocol in order to effect long-term cleanses.

Fiber/herbal cleanses primarily perform a couple of actions. The fiber can bulk up the stool and scrape the outer layer of fecal compaction. Fiber is, of course, a healthy part of everyone’s diet, but, used in this way, it can cause problems for some people. Psyllium husk, for example, can bulk the stool; however, if it does not move quickly through the colon, it can ferment and cause bloating. In some people it can actually aggravate constipation. Many of the herbs that are used in these cleansers, including the rhubarb and possibly the aloe in Colonix, contain compounds that stimulate peristaltic action in the intestines. While many of these herbs have a long history of use and can be beneficial in certain situations, they can cause dependency and irritation of the colon when used for longer periods of time. In my opinion, this makes them much less desirable for regular or long-term cleansing, the kind that most people really need.

So then Oxy Powder is the best solution for regular usage?

I did the colonix cleansing a few years ago. It was pretty rough on my system. I became horribly constipated and got awful cramps all four weeks I used the colonix.

I since have tried puristat and oxypowder. Both of which I beleive are better colon cleansers then colonix. Out of those two products, I prefer Oxypowder and still continuely use oxypowder on a weekly basis.

you can actually feel it working.
