DIVERTICULITIS

Many people have small pouches (called diverticula) in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. About 10 percent of Americans over the age of 40 have diverticulosis. The condition becomes more common as people age. About half of all people over the age of 60 have diverticulosis.

When the pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet. The disease was first noticed in the United States in the early 1900s, around the same time when processed foods were introduced into the American diet. Increasing the amount of fiber in the diet may reduce symptoms of diverticulosis and prevent complications such as diverticulitis. Fiber keeps stool soft and lowers pressure inside the colon so that bowel contents can move through easily. The Colonix Program contains high-quality soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are essential for good colon health.

The doctor told me it was diverticulosis

I am a 25 year old male and I began having horrible abdominal pains 5 months ago. I did not know what it was, but toughed it out for 2 weeks and it went away. I had a recurring bout of pain recently (so bad it was hard to walk!) and went in to the doctor. I explained my symptoms, and he told me it was Diverticulosis and that it was common FOR PEOPLE OVER 50 YEARS OLD!  Needless to say this alarmed me, and I wanted to not hurt like that ever again.  He recommended a cleansing program and daily fiber supplements.

I began the Colonix program, and all I can say is WOW!  I go to the bathroom 3-4 times a day, eat the same diet and a LOT of stuff is coming out (much of which does not look normal - can't believe this was inside of me this long!).  I have more energy, feel lighter and healthier, am sleeping better and most importantly have NO stomach pain!  This is a great product, and I will continue to use the fiber daily after the cleanse. Thank you so much!

My picture is attached, and thank you again for a wonderful product, it has really changed my life.  It is so amazing to feel this much energy and to know how many terrible things can be living inside of a person.

I have had absolutely no episodes related to my diverticulosis since I began the program

We have a special reason for endorsing your program, and feel that every American should take advantage of the NEW LEASE ON LIFE it gives one. We are convinced that had my mother known about and participated in the program, she would not have died in June 2003. Without going into the details of her horrible death, we now know that the toxins, parasites, and accumulated fecal matter is what caused her stomach 'to die", ultimately causing her death after two abdominal surgeries. The surgeon would only say that her stomach was no longer functioning, but we now know that the black, thick, coffee-grounds looking matter she regurgitated before the first surgery, was the impacted waste and toxic matter. She had been plagued with poor digestion, constipation, and stomach problems for many years. Each of us has already seen personal improvements, in addition to the regularity and ease of elimination I have had absolutely no episodes related to my diverticulosis since I began the program. Thanks so much for providing the Colonix Cleansing Program. We already feel younger and newer. Think how we'll feel in another month or two!!  LOOK OUT, AMERICA!!!!

I did the program for 2 monthsI have not had one re-occurrence of diverticulitis since!

I and my partner have had some recent bad experiences with diverticulitis. I will never forget that pain, it lasted for weeks with fevers! My partner was in the hospital for it. After several re-occurrences of it, I realized the meds that we were being treated with were simply not resolving the reason why we had it. While I was home sick on my third incidence of this condition, I did some internet research on diverticulitis and stumbled on your website. I read, and re-read your website for many weeks, skeptical much like many others said in their testimonials. After all in todays marketing with numerous products and cures, its very hard to believe what is real and what is not. After about a month I decided to give your product a try. I decided to start the program on exactly December 31st 2004. I originally thought Id be doing this alone since I never mentioned that I was doing this but discovered that my partner agreed to start the program with me on the same day once he saw what it was.

I found the program overall easy to do and really did not inconvenience me. The fiber powder isnt that bad especially if you mix it with orange juice or apple cider. Actually over time you get used to it. I used a hand mixer that fit in a plastic tumbler to mix it. The tea took some time adjusting to the taste but after a few weeks I found myself actually liking it, especially if you put 1 packet of splenda in it. For the first 5-6 days I did not really notice any changes in my bowel movements or how frequent I went. I myself averaged 2 a day but there was on many occasions times I struggled to go for nearly a half hour passing just pebble like stuff that would just drop to the bottom of the water. However I noticed a gradual change in what was coming out. I started noticing the urges developing right after waking up and the amount and colors were changing and mixing to a lighter shade. It looked like a mix of old dark and recent lighter. I began to go more often, sometimes as much as 6-8 times a day. One big change I will say is that when I used to go, I often had to wipe 10-12 times to clean myself. I remember how sore I would become that I would bleed and experience terrible pain after wiping. Once this program kicked in, I was amazed how easily I was able to clean myself. Often 2-3 was enough with toilet tissue to be done. Best of all, no more pain with cleaning myself!

After about 2 weeks I noticed that mucus was starting to mix in my movements and they became much looser and floated quite a bit. I started noticing stuff coming out that I never experienced before. An array of dark and light oily stuff that was almost reddish at times.

The big experience however was on the morning of January 20th. (Yes, I remember the day exactly.) I noticed that I was developing a strange sensation in my system. Something was occurring inside of me, like I was in the process of purging something bad because I started to feel very odd all over. At exactly 10 am at work I had a powerful bowel movement. Afterwards I examined what came out. It was a bizarre mix of a very old blackened ball with red stuff at the bottom of the water but there was also light floating very heavy mucous stuff at the top and along with that was to my amazement a worm, whitish about 1-2 inches long, thin like a string just floating by itself right there in that mess. I was shocked that it was in me because I never thought I would find that, yet was excited all at the same time. I now realize why people get excited over these things!

Right afterwards I called my partner to tell him. He was shocked to hear me say that because he himself experienced the same thing that very morning. He passed about an 8 inch tape or similar worm. It was black and in segments. Remember, we both started the program at exactly the same time! This truly convinced me of the authenticity of your product and testimonials. This only occurred once (as far as I was able to find) but the mucous went on for another couple of days and tapered off to normal movements 3-4 times a day.

I did the program for 2 months and for the most part did not miss any days of the product. I am only on the powder now. I have not had one re-occurrence of diverticulitis since! I with no question recommend it to anyone whether they have any conditions or not. Thank you!

Your product has made my life worth living.

I couldn't sleep nights because of the pain in my stomach. I had tried laxatives, antacids and even pain killers but nothing helped. The hard mass below my ribs hurt so bad I was desperate for relief.  I was afraid to eat anything because eating only made it hurt worse.  (In fact, I hadn't eaten anything for over 36 hours when your product arrived.)  

While chatting online with a friend in England, she suggested that my problem might be diverticulitis.  I'd never heard of it so I checked it out on the internet.  The symptoms you described were so familiar to me I decided to give your product a try.  My order arrived on a Thursday.  I wanted to start it right then, I was hurting so bad, but waited until Friday morning so I could begin with the pills in the morning.  

What can I say!  After drinking the tea that evening, I slept like a baby for the first time in months. I have had no further pain and the hard knot below my ribs is gone.  I only ordered a one month supply, not knowing if it was the answer to my problem, but I am going to order a two months supply now. Your product has made my life worth living.  God bless you.

I am controlling my acid reflux, diverticulitis and post-choleycystectomy effects NATURALLY

I am writing to tell you how the DrNatura products have helped me and my husband immensely!  I am 49 years old, and have had severe digestive problems since I was a little girl.  I have taken an herbal dieter's tea for about 20 years now, which kept me regular, but resulted in many urgent trips to the ladies room every day. 

Last summer, I began to have severe abdominal pains, so severe that I was bedridden for five days on three different occasions, and underwent a series of tests, including two ultrasounds, an MRI, blood tests and ultimately an out-patient colonoscopy.  During the colonoscopy, they found that I have a diverticuli, which they felt was causing my problem, so they gave me pain pills and smooth-muscle relaxers for it. This all happened over about 3 months.  In the meantime, even between these bouts of severe pain, I still had significant pain daily.  One day my stomach was so distended and hard that I knew I had to do something immediately, so I thought I would try an enema (my mother swore by them).  I passed a lot of waste that had been sitting there causing the hard stomach and bloating, and that same day, my Colonix colon cleansing kit arrived.

The next morning, my husband and I both started on the program.  I started having normal, easy and complete bowel movements within 24 hours.  I have not had a bout of abdominal pain since I started using your products. The fiber is so delicious that we look forward to drinking it every morning with a cup of orange juice (it tastes like a banana-orange smoothie).  We will be lifelong customers for the fiber and the KleriTea both.  The tea is so much more gentle on my system, and we both have a cup every night when we go to bed, so they are both parts of our everyday routine.  (Also, if traveling, they are easy to take along. I take a plastic salad-dressing shaker for the fiber drink.) 

In addition, I have been doing a lot of research on the Internet about acid-reflux, and even ordered a free sample of a medication to try.  Luckily for me, I remembered to go back to the DrNatura website, and found the Digestaid.  Even though the other products gave me relief in other areas, I still had a very bad problem with burping, lots of gas (a very embarrassing side effect of a choleycystectomy 10 years ago) terrible, painful heartburn and acid reflux.  I received my Digestaid this week, and after just three days of taking two before lunch and dinner, have realized that all those symptoms are gone!!  NO medications - all natural!!  I love it.

I have told all my friends and family about your products.  If you needed a mascot, I would sign up!!  After thousands of dollars this year in medical tests and prescription medications, I am controlling my acid reflux, diverticulitis and post-choleycystectomy effects NATURALLY - much better than loading my system up with costly, damaging chemicals whose side-effects are often worse that what they are intended to cure!  I sleep better, have tons more energy throughout the day, allowing me the energy to go back to weight-training and walking 2½ miles a day five days a week.

Oh - and by the way - my husband has lost about 30 pounds without changing his diet since we started the program.  He had a digestive problem the OPPOSITE of mine - he ran for the bathroom after every meal. Now he is regular, in the morning and in the afternoon, and no mad dashes down the hall!  He swears by the colon cleansing, and we will do it every year from now on, as part of our "spring cleaning" program!  I hope all the people who need your product will find this website!  Thanks!!!

All symptoms began to subside within days of using the program, and at 35 days are gone

I am 35 days into the Colonix program and it definitely works. I have never engaged in this sort of thing before, so I can't compare it to another colonic cleansing program. While I am somewhat disappointed that I can't report having expelled any strange, macram-looking things, I have nevertheless been enjoying adventures in the bathroom, and the effects and benefits have been a dramatic verification of every claim made about Colonix. I am 53 years old, and I was looking into the subject due to suffering from the discomfort of diverticulitis and chronic hemorrhoidal pain and bleeding. All symptoms began to subside within days of using the program, and at 35 days are gone. This, with no significant changes in my diet! I have learned the lesson of fiber and will be making Colonix a yearly practice!  Anyone who is into life extension should check this system out. To everyone at DrNatura, THANK YOU!! Keep me on your list!!

Colonix has been the answer to my prayers. It has also helped my hemorrhoids, hiatal hernia, and diverticulosis

Trying Colonix has been one of the most important things I have done for my health. I have diverticulosis in both my small and large bowel, and have recently had several urinary tract infections.  When my urologist told me that diverticulosis could cause urinary tract infections, I knew that I had to do something about it.

While searching online for colonics, I stumbled upon the DrNatura website. Colonix has been the answer to my prayers. It has also helped my hemorrhoids, hiatal hernia, and diverticulosis.  I have more energy, and I even have less pain and inflammation from my rheumatoid arthritis.  Through my 20 years of suffering through arthritis pain, I always believed that my digestion played an important part in the disease.  I have been talking about this to friends and relatives, but I never ever thought I would be putting a testimonial on a website.

I have a mild form of diverticulitis and I thought it would only get worse. Well, I NO LONGER have the symptoms associated with this condition

Thank you. Plain and simple....THANK YOU.  Your product is great. I am almost finished with the first month and I can't believe the difference in my body: energy, clean bowel movements, no side effects or discomfort, regularity...I could go on about the specifics but there are plenty of folks who have given you this already.

I eat well and I exercise, but I knew something just wasn't right in my body. I have a mild form of diverticulitis and I thought it would only get worse. Well, I NO LONGER have the symptoms associated with this condition. I feel energized and clean. 

You folks are great and if I feel I need to do this again, I will be sure to contact you. Additionally, the duty was no big deal (I am in Canada, eh) and I have passed your information on to other friends both here in Canada and the U.S.  Thanks again for thinking about helping people have healthy colons and taking our crap serious.

I am not only free of the pain in my side, but feeling better overall at the age of 37 than I did when I was 27  

I've never been the most active person or the best eater.  I eat what's available, and all too often, what's available is not very good for me.  I've paid for it by slowly becoming overweight over time - currently about sixty pounds so.  My bowel movements have never been regular... goodness knows I've never gone for a week without one, but I suppose I have gone for several days, and sometimes what I've passed has been hard and difficult to move.

Well, several weeks ago, I found myself with a disconcerting pain in my lower left abdomen, and after doing some quick web research, it didn't take long to realize that it was probably the manifestation of diverticular disease.  With my lousy eating patterns, that diagnosis pretty much made sense, too.  I was extremely uncomfortable, but I'm by nature distrustful of traditional medicine and didn't want to go to see an MD for this particular problem.

So another web search brought me to DrNatura.  The testimonials on here made me hesitate - of course you're only going to post comments from satisfied customers!  But I had to do something, and the money back guarantee made me comfortable enough to invest in the three-month program.

A week ago tonight I'd reached the five-day mark, where you're supposed to increase the intake of the Paranil capsules and fiber.  And all I can say is that since a week ago, I feel better than I have in years.  I've not passed any worms or anything yet, but it's obvious that some of what is being eliminated has been hanging around for a long time.  I use the bathroom every morning after my first walk of the day, and what I pass is substantial.  I may go two or three times more in a day, but none of my urges are so urgent that I have to clear a path to the bathroom.  It really is gentle, and each time I pass waste (again, there are always loads of it), I leave feeling cleaner and freer inside.

I suspect the program is also playing a part (part psychological, part physiological) in actually making me crave healthier foods and more vigorous physical activity.  For the past three weeks, I've been power walking two miles a day, working out three times a week, and paying close attention to what I'm eating; since I am now working so hard to clean the bad stuff out, I'm not inclined to dump more bad stuff in.  Hard to believe too that in just under two weeks' time, I comfortably wore a pair of pants that were simply too tight to button at Christmas.  I am not only free of the pain in my side, but feeling better overall at the age of 37 than I did when I was 27.  I believe that this program is building the necessary foundation for all the lifestyle changes I've needed to make to be a healthier and happier person.  I'll keep you posted as the weeks go on.

We found out a family member was in the hospital with diverticulosis and ended up having surgery.  What was very interesting is the doctor said a diet with lots of fiber may have prevented this.  This is a lesson we will never forget!

I was searching for a colon cleansing product for quite awhile when I came across the DrNatura website.  I could not stop reading all of the testimonials!  I guess it was hard to believe all these people had the same problems that I had!  I decided to go ahead and order the 3 month supply because I did not want to do it only half-way and not get the results that I was looking for.  Well the very first day I had excellent results and each and every day after that!  The first week I passed some scary worms, YUK!  My bowel movement increased in length to 2-3 feet long!  The best part was you felt like you were passing a marshmallow.  It was so soft it was shocking to see how much stuff came out!  Well needless to say my husband started using the products with me and we are both so very happy and pleased with DrNatura we do not want to stop using this fantastic product.  When we had been using DrNaturas Colonix for about a month we found out a family member was in the hospital with diverticulosis and ended up having surgery.  What was very interesting is the doctor said a diet with lots of fiber may have prevented this.  This is a lesson we will never forget!  Thank you DrNatura for making such a wonderful product.

I have my normal bowel movements which are between 4 and 6 per day.  I feel so good.  It's truly a remarkable product

My name is Barbara and I recently retired at 58. I have had diverticulosis and I was feeling very sick to my stomach with a lot of pain. I went to my doctor as I thought my diverticulosis had flared up, but he said that wasn't it and changed my prescription and told me to come back in a week if I didn't get better. Well, I only got worse and I would get up in the morning only to find myself back on the couch because my stomach hurt so much.  I told my husband I would rather die than live like this. At that point I knew I had to do something.

I started looking on the internet under stomach problems.  That's when I found your website. I started reading all the testimonials and I, like some of your other customers, was a little hesitant at first, because I didn't want to put out the money and not be completely satisfied, but then I thought all these people can't lie and when I read what they were saying and how they had felt before they took the product, it was as if they were talking about me. I ordered your product and today is the 30th day I have been on it, and I have no more pain in my stomach. I get up in the morning and just like clockwork, I have my normal bowel movements which are between 4 and 6 per day.  I have given up my prescription. I started walking again and I'm up to 3 miles a day. I feel so good. It's truly a remarkable product. I ordered another complete three-month supply recently to include everything as I want my husband to start on it. I will begin my second month in a few days and I want to thank you for this truly remarkable product. I have been telling everyone I know about it and how bad I felt before I started using it.

To anyone who isn't sure about buying this, all I can say is, IT REALLY DOES WORK. Thanks again for your wonderful products.
