"I have seen tongues coated with a thick
white film turn a healthy pink."

Q: Any connection between a coated tongue and the colon?
SETERS: Absolutely. When you cleanse properly, your tongue will turn a nice pink, and the skin can also turn pinker. I have seen that thick white coating disappear. The formula pulls those toxins right out. The formula stimulates the peristaltic muscles in the veins and arteries as well as the colon.

Q: A woman claims her stomach felt much softer and flatter after cleaning her colon.
SETERS:I can understand that. Often the bowel gets to be a hard encrustation, like having a great big rubber pipe in your belly. The bowel can sometimes get about 5 inches in diameter and become very hard. One of my students had a belly that always stuck out.

I said, "Why don't you get rid of that belly?" She said, "I've tried. I've exercised, I've dieted, I've tried everything. I guess I'm going to take it to my grave." I told her she didn't need to. She cleansed her bowel, took the formula, and it worked. Now her belly is flat. I've seen that happen to 2-3 people.

Q: What dosage do you recommend?
SETERS: Take one capsule the first night just before you go to bed. Then take two the next night, three the next night, and maybe four the next, if you need it. Always drink a big glass of water. Keep taking more until you go three times a day. If you get diarrhea, you are taking too many.

Q: How many capsules do most people need in order to go three times a day?
SETERS: A lot of people can accomplish this by taking only three a day. Some may need more. I have seen people use 10-15 a day to get themselves going. The goal is to get by with only 1-2 capsules a day. In fact, the real goal is not to take any. I'll stand by this no matter what. Herbs are medicines and should help you to be normal; and normal means not taking anything except your foods.

Q: Has anyone ever reached that level of not taking any?
SETERS: Sure, I have. I don't need the formula any longer. The only time I take any is when I go out to dinner and eat some things I didn't want to. Then I will take a few capsules before I go to bed. Usually the people who like bread always need the formula. Why? Because bread is constipating.

Q: What is the highest number of capsules a person has taken?
SETERS: I know this story of a nurse who was full of inner turmoil. She would snap at people for no reason. An herbalist asked her how many bowel movements she had. She replied, "None of your damn business." He told her, "If you have more bowel movements, you would be less miserable." She said, "Go to hell!" But he left her with a bottle of the formula. Later he found out she was having only one bowel movement a week.

One day she was feeling really miserable and she started taking the formula. She actually had to take about 40 capsules to break loose. She was really plugged up. Things started to break up. Within the year, she changed her diet and wasn't taking any capsules and she was having three bowel movements a day. And she became a very sweet, wonderful person. Later she told people, "If you only had one bowel movement a week, you would be bitter too."

Q: I talked to a reader from Maryland who works in a toxic laboratory and takes 16 capsules a day of the formula. He has done this for more than a year and swears he has gotten phenomenal results. Have you ever heard of someone taking such a high dose?
SETERS: Never. The only thing I can say is that his body must be extremely toxic and is trying to get rid of those toxins. If he left his job and worked in the fresh air, I doubt he would need nearly as many capsules.

Q: This same reader got a pain in his colon when he started the formula but kept going and it just went away. Does that happen often?
SETERS: I rarely hear stories of people having pain when they take the formula. A few people may have a little discomfort, but this usually comes from taking too many capsules or not enough water.

Q: Can a person clean out their colon by just changing their diet and not taking the formula?
SETERS: You can do it, but it would be a long drawn out process, which most people would not go through. It would just take so long.

-Observations from a healer-
"The color of my eyes changed from dark grey to a beautiful blue."
-Joseph Seters-
This is a topic you rarely hear discussed-the ability of the eyes to permanently change color. Most people would say this is impossible. Consider this interview before you decide.

Q: A woman in Iowa told me her eyes were a light blue. Now after taking the formula, she claims her eyes are a dark blue. A few other readers had similar stories. Can the color of the eye change when the colon is cleansed?
SETERS:My own eyes were a dark grey. Now they are blue. I have seen many eyes go from brown to blue. The more garbage and crud in your body, the darker your eye will get. Generally, the browner the eyes, the more constipated, even with Indians and black people.

One American Indian had eyes as black as coal. After six years of cleansing the colon his eyes became a light brown. We have a daughter who is now 30 years old. When she was a little girl her eyes were black. Now after years of cleaning they are a very light brown. "The browner the eye, the more constipated you are."

Q: How long does it take to notice a difference in eye color?
SETERS: It can take years of cleansing the colon. In half a year, you can possibly notice a change.

Q: If a person has blue eyes, does this mean he has a healthy colon?
SETERS:It is impossible to say. I have seen some blue-eyed people who are very, very sick. When these people cleanse their colon, the eye can become a darker, richer blue.

Q: A man in Georgia told me after he cleansed his colon and liver, the brown spots in his eye turned to yellow, and then disappeared. Can they vanish like that?
SETERS: I've seen this happen many times. The eyes are a reflection of your body. The spots are usually pockets in the colon. Diverticulitis can cause small black spots in the eye. A blockage in the colon can cause bigger spots in the eyes.

NOTE: A colon expert from Milwaukee confirmed the relation between the eyes and the colon. "I can look at a person's eyes and tell whether or not they have a clean colon. When the colon is toxic, there are a lot of brown lines which radiate from the pupil. As the colon is cleaned these lines will gradually disappear." She did recall one patient whose eyes went from brown to blue, but she couldn't remember the details. She also told me, "When the colon is clean, there will be no bad breath and no under-arm odor."

Q: Can small children take this formula?
SETERS: Definitely. Some of these kids today are really constipated. They eat junk. Junk! I knew this mother whose baby had horrible breath.

The mother told me the baby often had ten bowel movements before noon. The mother asked me what was wrong. I said, "Don't you know?" She said, "No." I said he was constipated. The mother replied, "You call this constipated? He has soiled ten different diapers in the morning. He has diarrhea, not constipation."

I told her that diarrhea is the worst form of constipation. Let me explain why. When you have a blockage in the bowel, the body has to get rid of it or you can die. Normally the body will pull moisture out of the colon. But in this case the body reverses the process and starts to put moisture back into the bowel. It sends more and more moisture to the colon to break up that blockage. Diarrhea can save your life.

We gave the baby two capsules of the formula mixed in applesauce. Then we gave him some prune juice. Soon the baby had a big, massive bowel movement--two of them. His breath got real nice and he stopped crying. Before he cried constantly. He was never constipated like that again.

Q: What's the dose for a child?
SETERS: Usually one fourth of the dose of an adult. For a baby, you can start them off on one-half a capsule. For a small child, you can start them off on one capsule.

Q: A close friend of mine in New York took a popular herbal formula for weight loss and it almost killed her. Can this formula cause any side effects?
SETERS: I have never seen any side effects. Just remember, moderation in all things.

"Healthy people have more bowel movements
than sick people."

Q: The formula contains the herb Cascara Sagrada. One health book said this herb should not be taken by pregnant women or people with hemorrhoids or ulcers.
SETERS: If a person uses this herb by itself it is too harsh. But combined with other herbs in the formula, it is safe for these conditions, assuming you start with mild doses and use it properly.

Q: Can a person become dependent on the formula? Is it habit forming?
SETERS: I have had a hundred people ask me that. There is nothing in it that is habit forming.

Q: I talked to two readers who were on the formula for six months to a year. Then they stopped the formula and found they couldn't go to the bathroom. They were forced to keep taking it.
SETERS: Taking the formula is only half of the solution. If you keep eating a lot of breads and other garbage, you will become constipated again. You need more fruits and vegetables. When I first starting taking the formula, I was only having one bowel movement every other day. At that time I was eating like everyone else. When I changed my diet, I started having 3-4 bowel movements a day, sometimes more.

One relative of mine takes four capsules of the formula every night. She has been doing this for almost 8-10 years. I told her, "You shouldn't be taking this formula every night." She said, "Why not? If I don't, I won't have good bowel movements." I told her to eat better and have more salads. She said, "Look, get off my back. I'll eat what I want. You ate what you wanted when you were younger and I am going to eat what I want." She loves pastas and breads, and takes the formula as a crutch. But for her, this makes her happy.

Q: What is the most frequent comment you hear from people after they take the formula?
SETERS: I have had so many people tell me they felt rotten and depressed, and then they went to the bathroom and felt so much better. After you have a good bowel movement, you just plain feel better. It is almost immediate.

Q: Can the formula help pets? I know a lot of readers will be asking that question.
SETERS: Yes, it can help animals who are constipated. I knew a lady who had a dog who was really straining to have a bowel movement. She gave him one capsule a night and soon his disposition got better and his hair got glossier. As dogs get older, they tend to get constipated. It can be a day and a half before they go.

"A mini-cleanse, for best colon results"

-by Joe Seters

"The 2nd part of the program is the cleanse. It's like pumping out the septic tank. Take this only when you start having 3 bowel movements regularly. If you just take the formula, and nothing else, it is like washing your face and hands without taking a bath. You will soon get pretty dirty. This 3 hour, mini-cleanse is easy to follow. You only miss one meal."

#1. Once a month, take 4-5 capsules of the formula at night. This clears the path through the bowel.

#2. The next morning, don't eat breakfast. Instead, take 16-24 ounces of prune juice. (Women only need 16 oz.) This will clean out the pockets in the colon the formula can't reach. This will give you diarrhea. You want this! It washes out the colon.

#3. Then one hour later, you sip one quart of apple juice. If you drink it and don't sip it, it can trip the pancreas and cause blood sugar problems. At noon, the program ends.

#4. Eat a normal lunch and dinner.

"The first few times, the bathroom will stink like crazy!"

Options:

A.) Go on this mini-cleanse one day a week for ten weeks. Then you can do this only once a month for maintenance.

B.) Take 24 ounces of prune juice and divide this into three 8 ounce glasses. Drink the first. In the second glass, mix in a heaping teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Sip this and let it burn your throat. This will pull the phlegm out of your throat, mouth, nose and bronchioles. Strings of old mucus will come out in the sink. The last glass takes the burn out of your throat.
