Biogreen Pytho-Essence - Skin and Colon Food?

Again, I'm down with food allergy... This time, dairy is the main culprit. Been a couple of week of uncomfortable toilet trips and umm... hahaha... diarhoea all thanks to... cheese and cream... Okieess.... so when this happens... poor skin, hair and nails suffer the most!! Aiyooo.... I'm so-so sorry skin... the ravioli plates were too much to resists... sigh... I love ravioli with the tomato cream sauce... haahhahahaa... even if it spells danger-danger to poor lactose intolerant stomach... How now brown cow???!!! haihhhhh...

Remember my posts on Bioxil, Juvanex and all the detox product thingi?? Since they all work on the almost similar principal of fibre, prebiotics and probiotics to help flush out the accumulated toxins and acidity, lets go for Biogreen Phyto-Essence Skin and Colon Foods this time round. Lets just see how it measure up to Bioxil and Juvanex. hohohoho....

Summarized info:

• Product of Taiwan
• Partially Organic ingredients (which I'm kinda skeptical about)
• All natural ingredients that help detox your colon
• Which eventually leads to nicer skin... as usual the claims are exaggerated... hahahhaa
• What the hell... the prebiotics and probiotics are the ones that work and they ware the main ingredient I've been eyeing... 

After 6 days of a once a day regime of  Biogreen Phyto-Essence:

• Oh the stomach feels so much much better
• Given the fact that the pre/pro biotics are working nicely (Hey, to those lengluis who can take dairy, vitagen is your yummiest bet)
• Digestion is back to normal
• Skin... umm... no new breakouts... but the old acne stays put...
• Umm... But the cystic acne is shrinking... hohohoho...
• Huuhuhuhu... please-please let the skin hair and nails go back to normal before the next dinner I have to attend... I wanna wear the cute off shoulder dress that's been sitting in the wardrobe for ages... 
• Lets wait for more reviews when iwannabelenglui complete the 450gm dose huh? lol...

Really? Does lemon water help clears up your skin?

If you google enough, you'll eventually be convinced that a lemon a day keeps the skin doctor away... lol... As skeptic as I would like to sound, I actually went on this lemon water regime without knowing its benefits... It all started with my mum's kidney detox...

She was on 8 lemons a day for 10 days... Uh-huh... imagine the amount of lemons I've been seeing in the kitchen... So I decided I needed the perk me up and half a lemon (stolen from my mum's stash) a day would be just the thing... hohoho...

The daily regime:

• Bought the RM5 citrus juicer

• Dilute the half a lemon juice with warm water
  
• Morning before breakfast is good (don't worry about gastric, when lemon juice goes in your digestive system it becomes alkaline.. read on)
• If you have a sensitive stomach, please take this very diluted.. And have something light for breakfast...
  
• Do this everyday (either half a lemon or 1 lemon a day)

So here's to my conclusion:

• Feels fresher every morning (sheesh... thanks to the sour mornings)
• I had allergy... but guess what....? No cystic acne breakouts anymore...
• Surprisingly... it actually helps
• My skin cleared up.. Though I still get minor breakouts from food allergy...
• Seriously, TRUST ME... THIS WORKS!
• Coming from a skeptic who spends all her money on crazy skincare
• Emm.. of course you need to watch your diet too... duh... you are what you eat...
  
• Helps with digestion too

The 3 day Apple Detox - you might as well just kill me now...

Again... I'm down with food allergy.. And the acne on my neck, back and cheeks are itching like a bitch!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhh... So itchy!! Okay... so I have been greedy. Heck... I'm not even sure what went down my tummy the past few weeks.. Geez... if only it was that easy to control my food intake..

I wish I had a camera with me now so I could show you how many apples I downed today... My colleagues saw me carrying a HUGE bowl of apples and gave me the SHOCK of shocks look... I mean HUGE.... there were 14 apples there... in that single HUGE bowl... And its suppose to last me through the day...

As you already know... I've got a best friend... Google... So everytime I get in trouble, I turn to Google.. Yeah... and I Googled up "Acne Free In 3 Days!"... Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa... I'm amazed... hahahahhaa... Okiee... So I didn't exactly completely followed the suggested regime. Instead, I followed the apple part though... You could eat as many "Red Delicious or Granny Smith" apples as you want in that 3 days... apples and only water. Thats it. No other stuff... Thats suppose to help clear your colon a little... And... the detox started.... as of....... THIS MORNING!!! hauhauhuahuahua...

Guess what... its now 7pm... And... my apple detox failed miserably as of..... an hour ago.. After 8 medium sized apples in a span of 8 hours.... I'm still craving food!! So I downed a banana... And half an hour later.... I'm STILL STARVING.... FOR REAL FOOD!!! lol.... Couldn't get any worse than that... So there goes detox... I went down and ordered vegetarian indian curry rice set... and cleaned the plate through... talk about greed. Man... Sheesh... I could have been more disciplined and took a sandwich or something... But no... it had to be a full plate of curry rice... SIGH>>>>>>

And... now... an hour later... I'm truely regretting it.... Could have pulled through another 4 hours of apples right? Geez... I've already gone through 8... whats another 4?? So there you have it. NO DISCIPLINE... Give me apples any day... I'd have a go at this again... And the next time... I'll try sticking by it...

Kinohimitsu J'pan D'tox Juice (6 Day Program)

The Cranberry One
(not the plum one - I haven't tried that and don't plan to)

Excerpted From the Kinohimitsu D'tox Juice box... (will upload the pic of the box soon enough)

Do you suffer from:

• Poor digestion, stomach bloating
• Fatigue, low energy, sticky body
• Poor complexion, blemishes, skin allergies
• Bad breath, body odor
• Headache, migraine

Do you have:

• Busy stressful life
• Irregular meals and eating processed food
• Constant explosure to unhealthy environment; air, water pollution

In just 6 days Kinohimitsu J'pan D'tox Juice leaves you feeling renew, refresh and revitalize!

Natural, Safe:

• 100% natural, concntrated fruit juices
• No additives - No sugar added, No preservatives, No artifical coloring/flavoring, No chemicals, No laxatives

Effective:

• Fast results within 2-4 hours, after intake
• Smooth motion, without strenuous effort

So okay... I decided I want blemish-free skin (since I have very bad skin allergies).. And, the Kinohimitsu Collagen Drink was working perfectly well... so I thought... maybe I ought to just try the detox juice as well... Its stated 100% natural... Yeah... that was until I saw the ingredients on the bottle and the side of the box.

So now I'm thinking... what made 100% natural juices so effective that you'd definitely go to the loo after 2-4 hours. I drink a lot of juice but... non of them made me go to the loo in 2-4hrs tops. And... I was experiencing mild IBS soon enough right after drinking a bottle... Seriously... you will not have problems going to the loo in that 2-4hrs.. Wow.. juices can do that?!

So I scanned through the labels on the box and individual bottles. That was when I found Mannitol and Sorbitol listed as one of the ingredients on the bottle. (possible diuretics and laxatives!!) That.... my friend... explains so much! If you don't trust Wikipedia, I suggest you Google up for more info on these...

Conclusion:

• Don't trust everything you read on packaging boxes (I know - I know)
  
• There's no such thing as 100% au-naturel and as effective as before you can even say... whooooaaa sshiiiitt!
• Detox should not leave you feeling bloated with stomach discomfort.... (--)"
  
• This is my first and last box. Okay, think I'll just be sticking to the collagen drink. Other than that... no more purchases of consumables from Kinohimitsu for now... My body needs a break..
