In this article Buck Rizvi the importance of colon cleansing and
what is in a colon cleanse product. Buck Rizvi is the CEO or Organica
Research and colon therapy educator.
Kevin:
So, Buck, this is an interesting topic, colon cleansing. So the first
question that I'm going to ask you, and you probably get this a lot, is
how did you get into this?
Buck: Well, it's a great
question. I've picked up a copy of a book on life extension probably
almost twenty years ago now and I look back as to why I picked up that
book and it was around the same time that I got my first grey hair.
Kevin: Uh huh. Sure.
Buck:
So I've been very aware of this topic. What people can do to increase
the quality of their lives, extend their lives, and live happier, more
productive lives and more recently, probably within the last few years,
I've been studying up on the topic of detoxifying the body and we as
Americans specifically we're constantly bombarded with various toxins
through the foods that we eat, the products that we use, and I know
that's one of the major contributors to disease is the inability of the
body to rid itself of toxins.
Kevin: Sure.
Buck: So it was almost a unique opportunity that was presented to me. I was
interested in building a world class health products company and I
was looking for which product I should carry first because I wanted to
focus and have a product that did very well in the marketplace, that
would have a universal appeal, and be very successful and I decided that
a whole body detoxification program specifically a colon cleansing
program would be the right way to start and it turned out that it was.
We've been very successful with our product.
Kevin: Sure and it's funny you say appeal. I mean it's not the first thing I think is
appealing, but why colon cleansing as opposed to some of the other
things that people can do to cleanse? Why did you think colon cleansing
was the best way to start?
Buck: That's a great question,
Kevin. If you read some of the books on the topic, and there's some
really good books out there. One by Dr. Bernard Jensen called 'Better
Bowel Care'. You realize we don't think about this. We don't like to
think about it. It is a dirty secret, this whole notion of the bowel,
colon, bowel movement, things like that. You know we go and use the
bathroom, close the door, turn the fan on, and make sure no one's
around. You know, no one likes to talk about this stuff, but what the
reality is that the bowel is the sewer system of the body, right?
Kevin: Right.
Buck:
And it's incredibly important that it is one of the major organs that
is used to take toxins out of our body and if it's not functioning
properly, if things are getting backed up in that sewer system, it's
very alike a sewer system here in your neighborhood. If that gets backed
up and sewerage starts flowing back up your pipes into your house,
you've got a major problem and people are going to get sick and the same
thing happens with the body.
Kevin: Right and what are
some of the health benefits of someone who takes their colon cleanser or
does a cleansing type product, what are some of the benefits they can
achieve after they're done?
Buck: Well, I can share with you benefits that have been shared with us by our
customers..
Kevin: Sure.
Buck: But we have
customers that tell us that first and foremost they wind up losing
weight very rapidly. Typically, I've heard, anywhere from 3 to twenty
pounds of weight being lost by being on the program for say a thirty day
period. Sometimes some will stay on the program longer, but if you have
protruding belly, a potbelly, quite often through our dietary habits
we're carrying some extra fecal matter in the digestive tract.
Kevin: Okay.
Buck:
Specifically in the colon and so this can help to eliminate and pass
that extra matter and by doing so help flatten the tummy and lose some
excess weight.
Kevin: Right and what about some of the rumors? Who's the actor....
Buck: John Wayne?
Kevin: Yes, is that true?
Buck:
Well, those were reported I think back in 1999 in an article in USA
Today. So I mean as reported by major news outlets it was indicated that
he had excess material in his colon and you know you hear varying
amounts. I don't know if it was 10 pounds or forty pounds. I don't know
and I wasn't the doctor and I didn't read that. What I can say there
were studies performed by a chiropractic institute in Chicago where they
did, and this comes from Dr. Bernard Jensen's book 'Better Bowel Care',
and they had done autopsies on, I don't know, a couple hundred bodies
and in the autopsies they found that the colons, well, the individuals
before they passed away did not complain of constipation. During the
autopsies they found that they were in fact constipated.
Kevin: Really?
Buck:
So it's very interesting to hear when, I don't know how often the
average American has a bowel movement, but in reality you should have a
bowel movement to correspond with about, once per meal. So it's not, if
everything's working correctly and you're eating the proper foods and
you have the right amount of fiber and you're taking in the right amount
of liquid intake that it's not unusual for you to have 3 bowel
movements or more a day.
Kevin: Right. I know people who have 1 a week.
Buck:
And that's terrible. That is absolutely terrible and we have customers
who come to us and tell us that 1 a week is good for them. Or some of
them think that maybe even 1 a day is good for them. The reality is
that, and this is one of the benefits of being on a program like ours,
is that once you start to be on the program you see yourself having a
higher frequency of bowel movement. It's not unpleasant; it's actually a
pleasant experience. There's no straining. It's, you're eliminating the
toxic material more quickly and it has major benefits for the body.
Kevin: Yes and without getting too graphic, I mean...
Buck: We're on the edge there now.
Kevin:
Yes I know. We're getting there. How does something like this, a colon
cleansing product, work to actually clean impacted feces? I mean how
does it get it out?
Buck: Well, in our product we have a
combination of about fourteen different herbs and fiber and so we have
both soluble and insoluble fiber in our product and the fiber obviously
is the major component, the different types of fiber, the major
components that help to pull toxins from the digestive tract, from the
colons specifically, and help to loosen if used regularly and
consistently through the thirty day cycle and again some people stay on
it longer to help loosen that material and help you pass it. And it's
obviously very important that you have a proper amount of liquid intake
in general, but specifically when you're taking a colon cleansing
program like this. We've added a set of different herbal ingredients
that help to soothe and protect the digestive tract as well and they
also contribute to the overall detoxification process supported by the
ultimate colon cleanse.
Kevin: Got you. What are some of the active ingredients? Are there any specific ones that do more than others or what are some of the?
Buck:
Well, I like to believe the way we formulated this and the herbs that
we use are all effective for what they do and from a fiber standpoint we
have cilium and flax in the product. We have slippery embark and
marshmallow root and rhubarb root and the product peppermint leaf which
has been used for centuries as a tonic for helping the digestive
process. I don't know if you're, do you use peppermint tea, for example,
which...
Kevin: Oh absolutely.
Buck: ...is
very effective, yes, for digestion. So all of these are very effective
in supporting the cleansing process and those are just in the fiber
alone. We have other components that I'll talk about in the ultimate
colon cleanse that do other things besides just helping loosen and
remove the toxic material.
Kevin: Oh wow, okay.
Buck: Yes.
Kevin: Okay and this is something that's been formulated by doctors, it's all natural ingredients correct?
Buck:
It's been formulated by professional herbologists and approved by
medical doctors. So it's also passed the test of having been now used by
thousands of customers and we have literally hundreds of testimonials
from our customers on the effectiveness of the product. We're very, very
proud of what we do.
Kevin: Yes, well, what are some of
the other benefits of colon cleansing? Because I see it, when I was
first turned on to it my skin got brighter and lighter and I just felt
so much better when I first started to do it and I think it really takes
doing it to realize what's happening. So if you could tell us some more
stories or just some more information about what people felt before and
after I think it would really hit it home.
Buck: Well, I
can share with you some of the stories that our customers have shared
with us and the benefits that they've derived. Yes, because I like to
focus on the results and we've received emails and phone calls from
customers that, in addition to losing weight and solving issues with
constipation, they were dealing with issues such as headaches or low,
energy in some cases chronic fatigue and they couldn't explain certain
body aches and pains that they were experiencing and they or were having
trouble sleeping at night. We are a very much, at least in the US, a
sleep deprived society.
Kevin: Tell me about it, yes.
Buck:
And, yes, and we have a number of customers that have written in and
saying, "Hey, I've lost weight. I have more energy. I feel lighter, more
energetic, and I'm sleeping better at night." And it's interesting, and
I have a number of friends that have used our product that tell me the
same thing, we have this is a, we don't have a single jar of colon
cleansing fiber that's not, and we have a real system that includes a
fiber that can be mixed with water or juice, but we also include a tea, I
nighttime cleansing tea, that works as part of the program. You drink
it before going to bed, it has a very soothing effect, it has some herbs
such as chamomile in it that can facilitate the sleeping process...
Kevin: That's great.
Buck:
...and also contained herbal ingredients that help loosen and move the
toxic material through your system and to be purged from the system.
Kevin: Sure.
Buck:
By doing that you sleep better at night, you eliminate the toxins more
quickly than you would with just say a jar of fiber alone and I know
there are a lot of single jar products out there or that are very simple
in nature, but they don't give the rapid results that people experience
with the ultimate colon cleansing.
Kevin: Right and they don't have the herbs either.
Buck: No, they don't.
