Will I have abdominal cramping while taking Oxy-Powder®?

Very few people experience cramping while taking Oxy-Powder®. If you do have abdominal cramping it should not last longer than the first 3 days of cleansing. This cramping may be due to one or more of the following situations:

1. You have undigested food in your bowel or you ate a heavy meal containing meat on the night you started taking OP.
Remedy: Do not eat a big dinner meal on the nights taking OP - Avoid eating meat for dinner meals during cleansing. Take Oxy-Powder® 3 hours after your dinner meal and immediately before going to bed.

2. You have compacted fecal matter in your small intestine
Remedy: Drink 16 ounces of water with the juice of 1/2 organic lemon immediately after taking Oxy-Powder® for the first 3 days of cleansing or until cramping subsides.

3. You drank hard alcohol, wine or beer in the last 48 hours
Remedy: Avoid all alcohol during your cleanse.

4. You ate Chocolate in the last 48 hours
Remedy: Avoid all chocolate during your cleanse.

5. You are Dehydrated
Remedy: Drink 16 ounces of purified water with the juice of 1/2 organic lemon every hour until cramping subsides.

6. Excessive GAS buildup due to low HCL (stomach acid) levels and poor digestion
Remedy: Take your Oxy-Powder® dosage first thing in the morning instead of before bed. Take as soon as you awaken with 16 ounces of water and the juice of 1/2 organic lemon.

If you experience cramping please do not give up and follow the recommendations outlined above. If cramping persists for more than 3 days, then start taking your cleansing dose of Oxy-Powder® first thing in the morning as soon as you awaken with 16 ounces of water and the juice of 1/2 organic lemon. Continue your cleanse program by taking Oxy-Powder® every morning instead of right before bed.

Will I be able to go to work during the Oxy-Powder® cleanse or be stuck in the bathroom all day long?

It's best to start the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse on a Friday evening. This way you will more likely have access to a bathroom for longer periods of time. Continuing the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse should be manageable so long as you have a restroom nearby at work or school. If you are going to the bathroom 5 to 7 times a day or more, you can reduce the daily dosage by two capsules. If you decide to do this, increase the cleanse length from 7 days to 9 to 10 days.

For the first few days, depending on your weight and how many capsules you take, you may need to stay close to a bathroom. If you are experiencing more than 7 bowel movements per day, then we suggest reducing the dosage by two capsules daily until you are experiencing the recommended 3 to 5 bowel movements daily. Some people have a lot of compacted fecal matter and may not have a bowel movement until the 2nd or 3rd day, but this delay is quite normal. Each person's results will be different. Please give Oxy-Power® a minimum of 5 days to do its job. After all, you probably spent years if not decades slowly building up the toxic waste in your digestive system and it may take a little time to break down.

What makes Oxy-Powder® so different from other colon cleansers?

What makes Oxy-Powder® so unique is its ability to clean the entire 25 to 30 feet of the digestive tract. It's designed to clean, oxidize and reduce the amount of hard impacted fecal matter in the small intestine, large intestine and colon. Other cleansers focus on the colon and stimulate mucous production instead of breaking down hard fecal matter.

As a colon cleanser Oxy-Powder® adds oxygen into the bloodstream and bowel and does so in a natural and non-toxic way. The average person by the age of 40 has between 10 to 20 pounds of hard compacted fecal matter lodged in their intestinal tract. Our intestinal tract is 25 to 30 feet in length and if you cut it open and spread it out, the surface area is the size of a tennis court. In order to clean the digestive tract you must turn that solid compaction into a liquid or gas, using time-released oxygen (oxidation/reduction). This is exactly what Oxy-Powder® does.

By using Oxy-Powder® you can melt away or oxidize the compaction from the small intestine, the large intestine and the colon safely and effectively. This is important because a clean intestinal tract is an essential step in achieving optimal health.

I am experiencing loose stools and am quite concerned. Is this diarrhea?

Oxy-Powder® will cause watery, gaseous stools. This is not clinical diarrhea; it's the byproduct of oxidation. The causes of diarrhea are usually temporary problems such as an infection or virus, or chronic problems such as an intestinal disease. A few of the more common causes of diarrhea are:

• Bacterial infections transmitted through contaminated water or food including Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, viral infections, rotovirus, Norwalk virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and viral hepatitis
• Lactose intolerance
• Parasites such as Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium
• Reactions to prescription medications, such as antibiotics and blood pressure medications
• Intestinal diseases, like inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and celiac disease

Remember Oxy-Powder® is turning solids into a liquid or gas. To assist the cleansing process, it's advised to drink half of your body weight in ounces of purified water daily while taking Oxy-Powder® even though there has never been a documented case of dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. To figure out your body weight in ounces, please divide your body weight by one-half. (For example, if you weigh 140lbs. then you should drink 70 ounces of water.)

Will I lose weight while using Oxy-Powder®?

This product is not specifically intended for weight loss. While some people have reported weight loss ranging from 5 to 20 pounds when using Oxy-Powder®, this is not actual loss of body fat or muscle tissue, but is due to the elimination of stored, hard-compacted fecal matter throughout the entire length of the intestinal tract.

Can I take Oxy-Powder® with over the counter medication?

As far as we know there are no contraindications when taking Oxy-Powder® with prescription meds as long as the Oxy Powder® is taken 6 hours before or 6 hours after the medicine. Still, it's always best to check with your health care professional before adding any supplement to your regimen.

What diet should I follow when cleansing, and does diet have to be organic?

Eat a healthy live food based diet. In addition, increase the amount of purified water you drink. Try to avoid any carbonated beverages, caffeine, and alcohol. Reduce your intake of sugar, fried foods, white flour, dairy, etc. Our recommended diet is fresh fruit in the morning, a salad and a carbohydrate source for lunch, and a low calorie and low protein meal for dinner. Our full, complete diet plan is available in Dr. Group's book, Health Begins In The Colon.

Can my child take Oxy-Powder® and in what dosage?

Parents should consult their physician regarding use of any dietary supplement by their children.

How long do I need to use this product and will I become dependent on it?

Start by taking 4 capsules of Oxy-Powder® in the evening on an empty stomach with a full 8 oz. glass of water. If you do not achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day, increase your dosage by 2 capsules each night until you achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day. Once you determine your effective dosage, this will count as Day 1 of the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse. You will maintain this dosage for seven consecutive days. After the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse, take the maintenance dose as desired.

The bowel will not become dependent on Oxy-Powder® unless you have had previous bowel surgery, bowel muscle dysfunction, or permanently damaged bowels resulting from Hirschsprung's disease. With Hirschsprung's disease, the nerves going to the bowel have been permanently damaged or destroyed. It is a very common disease affecting millions of people. However, conventional doctors do not routinely diagnose it.

We believe permanent damage to nerves within the bowel can be caused by:

• Chronic constipation
• Stress
• Depression
• Lack of exercise
• Poor diet

In some cases, it might seem Oxy-Powder® is habit forming but we believe this is because the individual already has a pre-existing, undiagnosed bowel dysfunction.

How long does it take to rid myself of all compaction in the intestine?

Everyone's results differ depending on their diet, exercise patterns, and age as well as physical and emotional stress levels. The frequency of your bowel movements will usually begin to diminish as the digestive tract rids itself of toxic matter. The stools may still continue to be loose or semi-solid, however, due to the oxidation process.

At this point the nascent oxygen will be available for the body to absorb through the capillary walls in the intestinal lining thereby aiding the body in the purification of the blood, organs, and lymph system. However, to ensure you continue to stay as clean inside as possible, you should eat only live, raw fruits and vegetables and completely eliminate the intake of all toxins.

Because the Standard American Diet (SAD) is so poor, we believe you will need to cleanse on a continuous basis to help keep the entire intestinal lining clean. Therefore, we recommend a continued maintenance dose every other evening at the minimum. Use your bowel activity as a guide. You will know how "clean" you are by the color, consistency, and frequency of your bowel movements.

As the intestinal tract is becoming cleaner, the color of the bowel movement should be much lighter and transit time (time from eating to elimination) should be shorter. You should also be experiencing more frequent, healthy, softer, and smoother bowel movements. The oxygen released by Oxy-Powder® is helping to kill all kinds of anaerobic bacteria.

Some people will notice a foul smell in the initial stages of cleansing. Over time, there should be a noticeable decrease in foul-smelling bowel movements. A normal and healthy bowel moves in a timely manner, with the "product" being lighter in color, relatively smooth, and also slick in appearance.

I have heard people can get sick when cleansing, why does this happen and will it happen to me?

You may experience watery, gaseous stools, noisy bowel sounds, or some temporary cramping due to gas build-up while taking Oxy-Powder®. If you experience cramping for longer than two days then switch to the daily schedule; take two capsules 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner. You may increase or decrease the dosage as necessary. Other side-effects may include mild headaches or temporary joint pain. All will resolve as soon as the toxins are expelled from the body. If you are experiencing bouts of constipation, bloating or gas then you may also be suffering from the symptoms of Leaky Gut Syndrome, an over-growth of yeast or harmful invading organisms and microbes.

Oxy-Powder® releases monatomic oxygen, which has been shown in lab tests to kill forms of fungus, yeast and bacteria. The oxidation of the compacted toxic material along with the possible deaths of harmful microorganisms, yeast and fungus from the monatomic oxygen can be absorbed back into the bloodstream through tiny holes (resulting from years of damage) in the intestinal lining.

This flushing of toxins may cause you to experience temporary cramping, draining sinuses, fatigue, skin eruptions and insomnia. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please give Oxy-Powder® at least thirty days to help balance your intestinal system.

How do I use Oxy-Powder® and how do I know that Oxy-Powder® is safe?

Cleansing:
Oxy-Powder® can be used as an intestinal cleansing agent or to relieve the symptoms of constipation. Start by taking 4 capsules of Oxy-Powder® in the evening on an empty stomach with a full 8 oz. glass of water. If you do not achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day, increase your dosage by 2 capsules each night until you achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day. Once you determine your effective dosage, this will count as Day 1 of the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse. You will maintain this dosage for seven consecutive days. After the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse, take the maintenance dose as desired.

Maintenance:
Use the same dosage you used for your 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse every other day or as needed. This maintenance can be performed indefinitely without it becoming habit forming or harmful to the body. Plus, taking regular doses of Oxy-Powder® helps supply your entire body with oxygen for improving physiology, vitality, and performance.

Suggestions:
We suggest drinking large amounts of pure water. Hydration is not only healthy for the body but will aid it in eliminating toxins from the bowel at a faster rate. Oxy-Powder® works with your body's HCL (stomach acid). If your level of HCL is below normal, it may hinder the effectiveness of the Oxy-Powder®. We suggest squeezing the juice from an organic lemon wedge into an 8 oz. glass of purified water taken with Oxy-Powder® in the evening.

Safety
We have tested Oxy-Powder® to be safe. The studies can be seen here: http://www.oxypowder.com/research

Is Oxy-Powder® only used when you are constipated?

Oxy-Powder® can be used for constipation or as a general cleanse. This means that any one that uses Oxy-Powder® can and will benefit from its oxygen cleansing properties.

Where can I find the protocol for cleansing, so I can better understand this process step by step?
