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. |

| I did something similar to this and it didn't help. I think the best option is to start eating clean unprocessed foods and drinking LOTS of water. I drink a gallon a day. |

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'm laughing because I know the Dr. just asked the question to see if people knew the answer. |

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.
There is no honor among thieves. |

Location: Opelousas, LA | I used to like Dr. Oz, now it seems like he pimps every new weight loss fad that comes down the road. I pretty much ignore any product he has anything to do with anymore.
If you really want to "clean all the crud out", go get that stuff they give you before you have a colonoscopy, LOL. |

Just think John Wayne had 40 pounds of crud still stuck to his intestines/colon when he died.....just a thought. |

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. |

| http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/03/23/reviews/wayne-obit.html Said he died from complications from cancer......he had been hospitalized for cancer of the lower abdomen in May.......His lower intestine was partly removed in his second cancer operation of the year. It said his cancer was found earlier that year during what was planned to be routine gall bladder surgery and they found a cancerous tumor & removed his stomach in a 9+ hour surgery. Made it sound like this wasn't his first bout with cancer. His stomach was removed it said in January. It says his lower intestine was partly removed in May. I can't imagine at the time of his death in June he had 40 pounds feces in his body.... or that they would have even checked to see what was in there let alone weighed it.

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.
