Cool!! Yes, it takes a bit. I have had 3 now (although a few weeks apart due to $ issues), and it was after the 3rd one that I noticed that I was able to "go" on my own again. A sluggy liver can cause constipation, and as I was detoxing at a fast clip over the last 2 months, faster than liver could handle, I began to need enemas every couple days in order to be sure I got the toxins out of the body. Also noticed that stool was very black, hard and rubbery, and burned when coming out. After last colonic, I am going each morning, plus color is lighter (back to normal dark brown) and no burn. I really think the lemon, Chlorella and colonics are invaluable to this process.
