Contents of the Colon Cleansing Kit™
Toxin Absorber™ (Ginger or Peppermint)
During this program you will take Toxin Absorber™ with apple juice and water, five times a day, to draw the build-up off the intestinal walls.*
An herbal dietary supplement of Psyllium seed husks , Apple pectin, Ginger root OR Peppermint leaf , and Bentonite clay.
Though Ginger root has a hot, spicy taste and Peppermint leaf a cool minty taste; they are not added to the Toxin Absorber formula in our Colon Cleansing Kit™ for their flavoring, but rather for their different effects on the body. Either one will relieve digestive upsets and harmonize the formula, but Ginger supports more parts of the body than Peppermint does. Ginger not only supports digestion, but also the cardiovascular and immune systems. Ginger also encourages the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut, dispels "unwanted guests", helps make the other herbs in the formula more bioavailable to the body, and helps remove toxins.*
Although we recommend Ginger because of these additional benefits, that does not mean it is appropriate for all people to take. We have found that nearly 70% of our customers choose Ginger and 30% choose Peppermint. Please read the following information carefully to help you in making your decision. Dont make a choice based on taste alone, unless none of the conditions listed below apply to you.
Choose Ginger if any of the following applies to you:
- if you have a feeling of cold most of the time or have a feeling of heat, but only in the afternoon or evening, often with night sweats
- if you usually like heat and dislike cold, except while experiencing a hot spell
- if you have cold extremities
- CAUTION: if you have hiatal hernia choose Ginger because Peppermint may cause more acid refluxing due to a relaxing effect on the lower esophageal sphincter.
Choose Peppermint if any of the following applies to you:
- if you have a feeling of heat most of the time
- if you usually like cold and dislike heat
- if you have a burning sensation in your stomach sometimes
- CAUTION: if you are taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs or aspirin choose Peppermint, because Ginger at high doses may increase the blood-thinning effect of these drugs but Peppermint does not.

Digestive Stimulator™
Digestive Stimulator™ is a natural herbal supplement that tones, cleanses, and purifies the entire digestive system.* The dosages will vary for each person to assure that one's bowels are moving at least three times a day. During this program it is vitally important that one has regular bowel movements to keep the Toxin Absorber™ moving through the intestinal system.
An herbal dietary supplement of Cape Aloe leaf, Aloe Vera leaf, Cascara Sagrada bark, Chinese Rhubarb root , Triphala (Amla fruit, Chebulic Myrobalan fruit, Belleric Myrobalan fruit), Barberry root, Dandelion root , Fringe Tree root bark, Meadowsweet aerial parts , English Plantain aerial parts , Ginger root , Fennel seed , Peppermint leaf , Fenugreek seed , and Licorice root .
Certified Organically Grown
Shaker Jar for Mixing Toxin Absorber™
Shaker Jar to mix Toxin Absorber™ with juice. We recommend organic apple juice. Apple juice makes the main formula of this cleanse, Toxin Absorber™, much easier to drink. You can try to take it with water, but we have found it tastes much better and goes down smoother with apple juice. Apple juice also has its own cleansing powers and helps with the rejuvenation process.* You can also drink apple juice at any time during this cleanse if you feel you need a little more energy or a change from just water.
It will take a total of 8 quarts (2 gallons) of apple juice to take all of your packets of Toxin Absorber™. If you wish to drink apple juice between times of taking Toxin Absorber™, you will want to have more quarts on hand. When you buy your juice, be sure it is from organically grown apples so as to not introduce new toxins while cleansing. You should be able to get your juice at the local health food store or supermarket. Best of all, make your own fresh juice using four organically grown apples each time you take a packet of Toxin Absorber™.

How the Colon Cleansing Kit™ Works
Only 9 Days to Improved Health and Energy*
The Colon Cleansing Kit uses organic herbs and a simple three-step program to remove old, accumulated waste and support the natural process of elimination.
Days 13 Pre-Cleanse
The first three days are dedicated to increasing your bowel movements, while gradually decreasing your usual mealtime portions. You will determine the number of Digestive Stimulator capsules you need to ensure three bowel movements a day and begin taking the specially formulated Toxin Absorber with organic apple juice in the evening, while drinking 68 glasses of water daily.
Days 48 The Main Cleanse
Now your body is ready to begin the five day, liquids-only fast. Increase the Toxin Absorber to five packets a day with organic apple juice and continue drinking 68 glasses of water daily. Supplement with strained herbal tea and organic vegetable broth. The bulking action of the Toxin Absorber will help you avoid hunger pangs while your colon cleanses safely and naturally. On the second or third day of the fast, you will begin to see the largest amount of old waste removal.
Day 9 Post-Cleanse
On the ninth day of the program, follow the suggested menu of healthy, wholesome foods to break your fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
This section has a large number of the most frequently asked questions and their answers. Even if you do not have any questions at this time, you may still find this section to be very informative and worth your time to read through. If you are looking for a specific answer and cannot find it here, we suggest you contact your healthcare practitioner who will be most familiar with your individual situation. If your practitioner is unavailable or unable to answer your questions, you may call us directly at: 800-489-HERB (4372) or you may email us at: info@marthavolchok.com
Do I have to be in the bathroom all the time?
While you will be going to the bathroom more often, you will not experience it as an overwhelming, uncontrollable or urgent need. The Digestive Stimulator™ has been formulated to act very gently, but surely, with your body. You will find it quick, easy, and comfortable to have three or more bowel movements a day.
When will I start to see mucoid plaque?
The majority of users generally report seeing mucoid plaque on the second to third day. This is because the intestines take time to empty of solid food and begin the cleansing process. In fact one can choose to do an additional five days of liquidsonly fasting, for a total of 10 days. Many people who have done this have found the most mucoid plaque actually comes out on days six to nine.*
How will I feel during the cleanse?
Each person feels differently as they cleanse. Some feel very energetic and more alive while cleansing; others not until after they have completed their cleanse. It is also possible to alternate between feeling great and not so great.
There may be occasional discomforts called cleansing reactions, which are a sign that your body is releasing toxins.* If the body is ready, some may even experience a deep cleansing reaction. This can happen during the cleanse, but more likely will occur sometime later when you have built up your strength. All these experiences are the bodys wisdom at work focusing on the areas that need to reach optimal health. Any discomforts of cleansing are only temporary, and always lead to more energy, vitality, and renewed health.*
Can I exercise while doing the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
If you are feeling good and strong, then exercise, but keep to an easy routine. Dont do strenuous exercise while on the liquid diet. For example, walk - dont run, stretch, and dont do heavy lifting.
What is a liquids-only diet?
A liquids-only diet is not taking any solid foods or solid foods that have been liquefied, pureed, or blended. The liquids should be clear of any solid particles. This will allow the Toxin Absorber™ that is mixed with apple juice to bind easily to the surface of your intestines without the interference of any solid food covering the intestinal surface.
The recommended liquids are: pure water, strained herbal tea, strained organic apple juice and strained organic vegetable broth (recipe is in our downloadable Users Guide). It is best to make your own fresh apple juice from organic, raw apples using a juicer. Juice in bottles or packages has undergone high heat which destroys helpful enzymes, life force and reduces the level of vitamins. Still bottled, organic, 100% fruit juice is all right to use, if that is all that is available to you. Since it is not possible to juice your apples ahead of time to take with you to work or on the go, because the juice oxidizes and turns brown within minutes, a possible solution is to take fresh juice whenever you are home and bottled/packaged juice whenever you leave home and are out and about.
If bottled/packaged juice is all that is available to you, it is better to cleanse with that than to not cleanse at all. Just be sure to avoid concentrated powders or bottled juice that only has a partial fruit juice content, contains sugar and/or other additives and is not organically grown.
Will I be hungry all the time?
Taking Toxin Absorber™ five times a day will greatly reduce hunger pains. Also, you can have an organic vegetable soup broth or more apple juice if you need a little extra energy. Most people report they do not feel hungry during the cleanse.
If I eat during the Colon Cleansing Kit™ will I still get out the plaque?
No, you may get out small bits, but it takes fasting on liquids to allow the Toxin Absorber™ to bind to the "plaque" rather than solid food in order to move the plaque out. That is why we say there are three ways to use the Kit. If you elect to eat, you will not get out any large amount of plaque, but you will still be cleansing and eliminating toxins throughout your intestinal system as well as establishing regularity and rejuvenating your digestion.*
I need more than 4 Digestive Stimulator™ capsules to have
daily bowel movements. Is that OK?
That is perfectly OK, because you have discovered what your body needs. The average dose is 13 capsules for people who naturally have frequent bowel movements on their own. Those with severe constipation, that is, they usually only go once a week, will find they may need upwards of 10 or more capsules a night. The number that works for you, no matter how many or how few, is the correct number.
How much caffeine can I have while cleansing?
The average daily consumption of caffeine for Americans is 280 milligrams (mg) a day. The average cup of coffee has 40120 mg of caffeine, black tea 4070 mg and soft drinks 3050 mg. One tea bag of our Refreshing Green Tea Blend™ has around 5 mg of caffeine; the same amount in a cup of decaffeinated coffee or tea. It takes 100 mg of caffeine or more a day to produce dependence on it. Excessive amounts of caffeine, more than 500 mg a day, cause serious side effects.
While it is best to avoid the average daily level of "caffeine" drinks or foods during cleansing because of over stimulation of the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands and heart, we realize for some people this will mean experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Remember we are trying to free up the bodys energy to make it more available for cleansing, not expend that energy for the sake of stimulation alone. The best alternative is to have as many cups (10 cups maximum a day) of the Refreshing Green Tea Blend™ as you need to minimize the effects of withdrawal, and keep you fully functional. It averages less than 5 mg of caffeine per tea bag, and comes with the support of ten other cleansing, mineral rich and high antioxidant herbs that help balance this small amount of caffeine.
If your withdrawal symptoms are keeping you from performing your daily functions and the Refreshing Green Tea Blend™ is not making enough of a difference for you, we suggest restricting your intake to not more than 1 cup of coffee or black tea a day. You may use honey for a sweetener, but never use sugar. Avoid caffeinated soft drinks completely.
Is there anything I should do after I am done with the cleanse?
After completing the Colon Cleansing Kit™ we recommend taking the Internal Cleansing Kit™ for a complete cleansing of all your organs of detoxification. After completing the Internal Cleansing Kit™, if you are in relatively good health, continue cleansing once a year, and talk with your healthcare practitioner on how to get started on a good maintenance program. If you have severe health problems, cleansing two to three times a year for several years is recommended, along with any protocols your healthcare practitioner determines as necessary.
For everyday cleansing support and a high nutrition formula, try our 100% Organic Superfood™. In this formula, Martha has brought together 22 of the highest quality 100% certified organic ingredients, chosen after many months of study and research. She thinks this is the best superfood available and one of the few on the market that is 100% certified organically grown.
How often should I do the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
This is best answered by listening to your body. Ultimately you are the best judge of your needs and if you intuitively feel now is the time for you to cleanse, then do so. That said, there are general minimum and maximum guidelines. What determines how often you cleanse is the state of your health and whether you have ever done any cleansing before. Those who are not in the best of health and/or have never cleansed before, will find they need to cleanse more frequently for the first 23 years and then return to a yearly or twice yearly maintenance program of cleansing. Minimum - once a year or once every Spring and Fall. Maximum - once every 23 months, followed by alternating periods of a rebuilding diet/program. Please consult your healthcare practitioner if you elect to choose this more intensive path of cleansing.
Cautions and Safety
The Colon Cleansing Kit™ is a safe process used by tens of thousands of satisfied customers. There are some conditions and drugs that make it inadvisable to use and others that require the guidance of a healthcare practitioner to monitor your condition and/or adjust your drug dosage as needed. Please read the following information carefully.
Do NOT Use if:
- you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or nursing
- you become pregnant, stop the cleanse immediately
- you have an active, acute infection anywhere in the body
- you are undergoing/recovering from a medical procedure, surgery or therapy
- you have extreme weakness or extreme deficiencies
- you have abdominal pain or abnormal narrowing of esophagus or intestines
- you have an acute inflammation of the GI tract, bowel obstruction, diarrhea, or vomiting
- you have trouble swallowing
Additional General Guidelines
As a general rule of thumb, we recommend that you don't take any other herbs, supplements, vitamins, OTC drugs or recreational drugs, while you are cleansing. Cleansing is an opportunity for the body to clean house; the less added to your diet, the more efficient the cleansing. If, however, you intuitively feel you need to keep taking them, please follow your intuition, your own personal guide for whats best for you.
If you are taking a prescription drug temporarily, please finish its course before starting your cleanse.
If your prescription drug is needed on an everyday, ongoing basis, please look over the safety information first. You will find cautions for some drugs that may make cleansing prohibitive for you and other drugs that you may continue to take, but will need to do so two hours apart from taking any formula of the cleansing kits.
If you must take your prescription more than once a day, you will only be able to do the GOOD Option of the Colon Cleansing Kit™ as it is the only option that provides enough time between taking formulas of the kit and your prescription to avoid absorption or interaction with the drug.
Taking Toxin Absorber™ without enough liquid may cause choking or constipation. If you experience chest pain, vomiting, allergic skin rash or difficulty in swallowing or breathing after taking Toxin Absorber™, seek immediate medical attention.

DRUG INTERACTIONS with the Colon Cleansing Kit™
Anticoagulants, Antiplatelets and Aspirin
Ginger root, at high doses, may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with any of these drugs due to its blood thinning effect. Until conclusive evidence is available, exercise caution and have your healthcare practitioner monitor your INR values to prove there is no increased chance of bleeding for you. Research studies in humans show that fresh, but not dried Ginger root (dried root only is used in the Colon Cleansing Kit™) may increase the blood thinning effect of anticoagulant drugs. This effect may also be dose dependent, as one study with humans showed that it took 10 grams of dried Ginger root to have a blood thinning effect; whereas 4 grams of dried Ginger root taken for 3 months had no such effect. A dose of Ginger as used for spicing food is not a problem. One cap of Digestive Stimulator™ has less than 14 mg of Ginger root, which would be considered a "spice dose" even at the maximum dose of upwards to 10 caps of Digestive Stimulator™/day that would be less than 140 mg or less than 1/8 teaspoon which would still be considered a "spice dose".
Ginger root is found in: Digestive Stimulator™, Ginger Toxin Absorber™
You may alternately choose the Peppermint Colon Cleansing Kit™ to reduce your intake of dried Ginger root to "spice consumption" levels.
Antihypertensives
Licorice root, at high doses, may decrease the effect of the drug and cause hypertension, or sodium/fluid retention. A high dose is considered to be over 100 mg/day of glycyrrhizin content; especially if taken long term.
