Cleansing While Pregnant

I am asked often, "Can I get a colonic if I'm pregnant?", or "Is is ok to cleanse or fast while pregnant?".   I'd like to address these two questions.

It is absolutely a good idea to get colonics while pregnant since one of the major complaints of pregnant women is constipation.  You will feel better, lighter and relieved.  Think of a colonic as a more thorough enema.  In my experience, I have seen clients from conception to delivery and they would receive colonics once a week and no less than once a month.

Fasting or cleansing with diet during a pregnancy is absolutely not a good idea.  Fasting or cleansing creates an environment for the body to detoxify, to dump and eliminate toxins.  This is not a good idea during pregnancy.  Your body is doing all that is necessary to adapt to the new life inside of you and cleansing is not recommended.  Toxins circulate through the blood and lymphatic fluids in your body and can be passed onto the unborn life inside of you.
