This is my colon cleansing from home journey.

Welcome! "Hello, my name is LeeAnn McVey and I am 40 pounds overweight! I decided that I wanted to do more than "diet" for the new year. This year I am committing to getting healthy! Through your emails, I have learned that I have been helping many others do the same thing since beginning this blog. Your comments and stories inspire me to keep taking that next step and then the next. I have unique medical circumstances that helped me pack on the pounds (Thyroid cancer and a hysterectomy) but I refuse to let that stop me from becoming a healthier person.

Completion of 15-day DrFloras Colon Cleanse
Total Pounds Lost: 8 lbs

Weight Update: Jan 20, 2009 Loss of 4 lbs. / Walking 3-4 times a week

I began this blog to give those that are reading this a good idea of what to expect when colon cleansing. I will let you in on what I'm feeling both physically and mentally. Other reviews that I have read on DrFloras Colon Cleanse, it can get pretty amazing to witness the mucoid plaque that will supposedly be coming out of my body. And if colon cleansing pictures are something you really want to see, I have placed those on a different page so those of you who do not care to witness other people's "poo" don't have to be subjected to them.

Another feature I like about using the DrFloras system is their product to eliminate the intestinal parasites from your body. This along with the probiotics to put back the good bacteria that gets removed while cleansing is a big plus!

I did a lot of research on many different home colon cleansers that are out there; I got my ducks in a row! I chose the DrFloras Colon Cleanse because they have a special patent-pending on PsyllimaxTM, which is a hybrid psyllium fiber that no other company uses or can duplicate.

The Factors that were important to me and why I chose DrFloras for my colon cleansing at home:

- No diarrhea

- No cramping or bloating

- Can still eat healthy foods throughout the day

- I would rather take a powder form versus capsules. ( I take enough medications and supplements in pill form)

- Since DrFloras is an all-natural product, FDA approval is not warranted or necessary.

- 365 day unconditional money back guarantee ,100% full purchase price refund!

I would also like to let those of you reading my blog that I did become an affiliate of DrFloras. On my fourth day into this natural colon cleanse, I was so impressed with the fact that I wasn't experiencing the terrible side effects that I had in the past on other colon cleanses that this one was worth being an advocate of.

So those live links that that you can click on throughout my blog for DrFloras Colon Cleanse will take you to my affiliate site with DrFloras. I do make a commission when you make a purchase but rest assured, I will not and would not ever endorse something unless I was thrilled with the product(s)!

According to Dr. Norman Walker, author of Colon Health, "The very best of diets can be no better than the very worst, if the sewage system of the colon is clogged with a collection of waste and corruption." He considered a healthy colon the key to one's health. He estimated that 80% of all disease begins in the colon. He wrote: "Every organ, gland and cell in the body is affected by the condition of the colon."

"What the heck is psyllium and WHY is that important?"

Alrighty - let's give you a little background on psyllium! Psyllium fiber is not broken down as it passes down the gastrointestinal tract and so psyllium has no nutritive value other than as a source of fiber. For many years products containing psyllium have been used to increase fecal bulk and loosen stools, as ways of treating constipation. Many fruits and vegetables are good sources of fiber, but it would appear that there are particular advantages to increasing the amount of soluble fiber in your diet - soluble fiber like the kind found in pysllium.

I took matters into my own hands and have decided to start with a clean slate. Hence, the DrFloras Colon Cleanse *diet. (Not to be confused with an actual diet meant to lose weight but to change old habits with new ones!) This blog is considered my new beginning and I invite you to bookmark my blog as one of your favorites so you can keep up with my progress.

The picture above was taken on Jan 17, 2009 with a few of my girlfriends at a baseball fundraiser Crab Feed. I can't wait to compare this picture with one taken next year. I expect to see a huge difference!

What IS Affiliate Marketing?

Many of you have asked me if I am getting paid for having this blog and saying what I have said about the DrFloras products. I can honestly tell you, "NO!" I chose to write about my experience with this cleanse because my New Year's Resolution was to get healthy this year. Each and every year, I vow to start a diet and lose weight. I decided that this year I was taking a new mindset and instead of dieting, I was beginning a new "lifestyle."

That lifestyle included doing an at home colon cleanse to begin fresh and clean on the inside, eating a healthier array of foods; meaning more fruits and vegetables, and exercising. So far, I have kept true to my word and feel so much better because of it.

As I mentioned above, I AM affiliated with DrFloras website. Let me explain....I love the Internet and have found that I can earn money by being on the Internet. You could say, two of my favorite things came together. That's where the affiliate marketing comes in.

I am going to assume you have heard of or have an idea of the term network marketing. There are thousands of network marketing business opportunities out there. Herbalife and Amway are two network marketing businesses that most people are familiar with.

Affiliate marketing relates to network marketing but allows a person to earn extra cash without having to become a distributor of any one business.  

If affiliate marketing sounds interesting to you and you would like to learn more about how you too can earn money using affiliate marketing, then I highly recommend you come back to this blog and click on the Renegade University banner to the left on this page.

This takes you to a page where you can create your own log in information. From there you can access the free information to get you started and second; when you click on the banner it allows me to assist you whenever or should you ever have any questions.
