Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | I have but I changed it up when it came to the greens. I just added a few greens to my fruit. I lost all my sweet cravings and lost four inches around the belly. I added flax seed and chia and a liquid dose of vitamins to my morning smoothie and a cup of ice to each smoothie. I also used almond milk with them. Those 3 days I really wanted something to chew on. After that I continued with the morning fruit smoothie, had a salad for lunch around 2 o clock as I wasn't hungry yet and another smoothie around 6 and had jello for desert later on. It was getting so I couldn't finish a full cup and filling completely full. It works if you want to stay on it. My So saw I was loosing the weight and he went back to the bad habits, his excuse was it wasn't working for him when he actually thought he could stuff himself with more fattening deserts and double gorge himself. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | Detox, Just consider yourself as a computer. as your computer slows up you need to clear out some memory and realign files. By detox you clean out the crud that makes you sluggish. Removing gunk that sticks to the colon walls and hopeful the plaque that builds in the veins by eating right. Three days is not a cure all , but if done often enough you can only benefit. For me loosing some extra pounds without the added stress is a win. |

I don't know if I have ever read more false statements in such a short paragraph in my life. Every statement is wrong except "three days is not a cure all". The rest is pure bullsh!t. The whole premise of "detoxification" is bull.....and the only people who benefit are the ones selling the stuff.

I read John Wayne had colon cancer. The article said one month before his death he had a surgery to relieve a bowel blockage caused by the cancer. I am sure if he was on pain medication, it caused some constipation as well. Likely with the bowel blockage removal procedure, he was pretty clear at the time of his death. I doubt he was able to eat much solid food. Colon cancer would probably prevent a big hardy diet. Since they knew what killed him, they did not do an autopsy. No autopsy, no weighing or evaluating the colon. It is thought the rumor was started by someone selling colon cleansing products. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Shame on Dr Oz for promoting quackery like this. He's the most dangerous kind of quack because his quackery is admixed with legitimate advice and that, combined with a likeable personality, makes him a powerful tool in promoting the myth and lore that is valuable to the profiteers in the quack science field. Like Dr Phil, he got his start on Oprah, and, like Dr Phil, women swoon over the guy whenever he appears and they take his advice or endorsements as gospel, regardless of the science, or lack thereof, behind the advice or endorsement. He's not the only one. Dr Mercola is another entrepreneur who became a multimillionaire through the promotion of quack schemes. Behind most of these schemes is the knowledge that people have been searching for "natural", easy cures for many common maladies from obesity, to flatulence, to arthritis. Everyone wants to be able to take an herb or a pill or herb that simply "burns" fat off their ass, while they continue to eat like a hog. These products are cleverly marketed and given catchy names. They create ads with photos of doctors in white coats and stethoscopes draped around their necks. They make claims that it is "all natural" and "scientifically proven" as effective, sometimes for not only weight loss, but other common ailments. They sell a bottle of this junk for $20-50, and boast of a "money back guarantee". At the bottom of these ads are disclaimers and qualifiers that admit that the product is not offered as a cure and is not proven to be effective, and that money back guarantee is "minus shipping and handling". Nobody is going to go through the trouble of sending back a $30 bottle of pills minus $15 for a net refund of $15. If you sell a couple million of these bottles of pills, even if everyone realizes it doesn't work over the long term, you will still reap a huge profit. Oz is a particularly successful paranormal practitioner, because he mixes the quack science with legitimate science and it all blends together. I remember when a wagon full of 60 lbs of fat was rolled out onto the stage, with scenes of women swooning in the audience when he and Oprah appeared together. I know Oz has claimed he doesn't profit from his endorsements, but that is a flat out lie. His annual salary of $4 million is proof of that. I'm pretty sure that's the tip of the iceberg.
These detoxification schemes and claims are more of the same - baseless. "Colon cleansing" does not accomplish anything except it "cleanses" your wallet.

Weighing all organs is standard in all autopsies. This is nothing out of the ordinary. |

Autopsies are sometimes requested by the family. Sometimes a doctor may have a question about the actual, specific cause of death. My dad was a pretty healthy man when he died, apart from diet controlled diabetes. He became ill and experienced severe upper back pain and dropped dead within a few minutes. My step mother didn't request an autopsy because the doc at the ER where he was brought in Minneapolis said it was "probably a heart attack". When I learned of it, my first thought was an aneurysm, and I wanted an autopsy, but his wife didn''t want one on the grounds that "he was already dead". I still wonder to this day. Autopsies provide very valuable information, not just to the family, but to medicine in general. This is how we accumulate knowledge and learn in the field of medicine. |

Do you think after all of his surgeries....stomach removal, partial lower intestine removal...he would have had 40 pounds of fecal matter in his colon at the time of his death? If it is possible that he did, in his condition at the time what would have been likely the cause of his 40 pound colon? I guess I can't imagine in his condition with all the previous troubles he could eat much of anything from January to June....and it sounds like his complications started before January since his gall bladder surgery was scheduled in January. |

Every day the GI tract sheds billions of cells into the bowel. Cells that line the bowel turn over rapidly. This amounts to a couple pounds of our own "meat" that is shed. Some is redigested (re-cycled) and some is shed in the stool. In addition, the GI tract secertions are ongoing.....bile, mucous, water, etc... This liquid is all part of the GI tract contents and not all is re-absorbed. Also, in cases where there is cancer involvement this extensive, the motility can be impaired, so everything just sits there. When a horse colics, sometimes the gut just becomes paralyzed, yet the bowel contents become enormous at times.....gallons of liquid stool can accumulate in the hind gut even if the horse isn't eating. In addition to impaired motility, there was quite possibly mechanical obstruction further aggravating the buildup of stool. People continue to make stool and have bowel movements even in cases of severe starvation. In fact, in cases of severe starvation, diarrhea is actually a hallmark.
What I am trying to say is none of this is remotely surprising, and I am trying to explain this. |

Location: Midwest | Most people don't have 40 lbs in the gut. His gut was riddled with tumors and the cancer had stopped it from excreting the wastes...
so that is why it built up. His gut had stopped working.
Normal healthy people won't lose weight from a detox diet because the body already gets rid of wastes. The only reason they may lose a few lbs is from not eating, or eating only fruits and veggies instead of some fatty foods. They are not actually removing any toxins as a result of this extreme diet.
In fact the diet will possibly harm the beneficial bacteria residing in the gut. |

I just couldn't imagine at his time of death he was full of bad food choices....and "toxins" related to bad food choices. Of course many might contribute his prior diet or lifestyle to his cancer....don't have any idea since I don't know anything about his diet and lifestyle.

Harvard medical has tons of info to look up.

| I agree i think Dr Oz is just putting stuff out there for people to wildly chase after for a quick cure. I dont watch him anymore.... BUT i have to say i did get a cleanse at my local health food store it was called" Simple cleanse" it was two pills in am and two pills at bedtime. I did notice a difference I think it did "clean me out" Felt so much better and it sort of jump started my weightloss. I do think that with our american diets, ppl do not get enough fiber and their bowels get sluggish and a build up can occur. When you have stool that just lays in your large intestineand doesnt move thru, that is not good for the body. So i do think they can serve a good purpose. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | I can see your against Dr.Oz Period and Yes Soda that is the "detox" (I) was refering to. I don't know that it is the same one the Op is refering to. I know this much My SO was a cumpulsive ALCHOLIC and a cumpulsive eater due to the high blood pressure meds he take along with grout meds. He tried this and lost weight slept through the night which he never does. Quite snorring as I could record him sitting one mile away. For 2 week straight I could not stay in the same room with him because the ODOR he gave off was that of a fertilizer plant consuming dead fish out of a sewer, bad. this helped him lower his blood pressure cause his new doctor wasn't helping worth beans. This helped him from being a raging idiot to a kitten. All this contains is fruit and veggies, tea and almond milk and few other items which we never used. I can see Detox is a bad word. I don't what else you would name this so bad detox. How about the slush gush pooper. Like I said I changed it up a bit and what is so bad about eating good food or should I drink my good food. |

What was contributing to the odor he had? The alcohol? His food? Both? Something else? May I ask....... was it just coming through his pores? Breath? Gas? All of the above?

Location: Virginia | To the OP: Yes, I have done it, found it relatively easy to do and have repeated a few times as needed. I have also continued to do one juice a day but I don't use one from this detox. I use Dr. Oz's Green drink for my daily. One hint: The Green drink recipe is for 2 servings and it does keep fine for a day or so in the frig.
To all the naysayers: Dr. Oz is not selling anything related to this "detox" and this is not any type of pills. This is an all-natural juice made from fresh greens like spinach and Kale, cucumbers, carrots, apples, some herbs. I go to the grocery store, buy all fresh produce, and "juice" it in my juicer. The recipe is designed to provide all the necessary vitamins and minerals, fiber, healthy carbs, and a good level of healthy plant protein. I'm disappointed in the backlash from people who obviously have no idea what this is about and are confusing this concept with the chemical "detox" clean-your-colon crap that is sold.
The "detox" is about removing processed foods from the diet and eliminating cravings for things like sugar. Someone made the point that you can do the same thing by eating salads and I agree with that. For me though, I find so many hidden bad things in packaged foods that a juice made entirely of fresh ingredients is easier for me. I suffer from a lot of digestive issues and food intolerances and I find that the 3-day juice protocol gets me back on track and reminds me why the processed foods I crave are bad for me. I feel great when I juice!!

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | There are currently a lot of "diets" and "cleanses" being promoted with Dr. Oz's name attached to them. He states at the end of each of his shows that he is not associated with those "promotions", etc. Not sure if this colon cleanse / detox being mentioned here is his or one of the those items being promoted with his name attached to it without his permission that he does not endorse. |

It's his because it is on his website. I've heard him talk about it on his show. More of a fruit/veggie smoothie type thing with a few supplements. I posted a link to it on this thread somewhere. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | Soda - most of the odor was coming through his pores, some through his breath, what is unusual was he was no longer gassy as he was which was a HUGE issue like every 5 seconds. The alcohol I'm sure is a large contributer combined with meds that he was taking. Lipitor is a big no no. While he was taking this he couldn't walk ached all the time and finally his elbow and legs swelled beyond normal size. It took me 4 months to convince the idiot that this drug was the cause of his ailments. As for the food he eats the greasier the better and butter on everything I think 1 cube of it is a little extreme for one slice of bread. He rarely almost never drank water. |

Was he drinking during this time or did he quit? The odor through the pores makes me think of someone I know who was in a drug treatment facility where they put them in a sauna as part of their detox I guess. Anyway he said it was a bad odor, not just sweat odor and the sweat coming out of his pores was kind of greenish. Eww!
