According to Steven Meyerwitz in his book, Juice Fasting, chia seeds are good to use to cleanse the colon if you don't want to (or cannot) get a colonic. Right now, I am broke and cannot spend $100 on a colonic, and I do not see myself giving myself a enema, so I'm going with the chia seeds. I don't have to buy them; I already have chia seeds in my refrigerator.
Do the chia seeds work? I took a teaspoon full with 16 oz of water about an hour ago, and I have eliminated twice. From my experience, I can say that chia seeds work to cleanse the colon, which is extremely important on a fast. The body is gathering all the waste from your cells, and it needs to rid itself of this waste. Because one is not consuming fiber on a juice fast, it is difficult for the body to eliminate; therefore, the body needs help. This is where the chia seeds come in handy.
Thanks you. I am about to start a juice fast and thought that Chia seeds would be a great addition.
