Take Lean-N-Clean for breakfast, in addition to a small light meal, or at night instead of snacking if you are a person who needs to lose weight at the same time. If you do not need to lose weight, take it in-between meals. Lean-N-Clean may be taken 1 to 4 times a day.
Lean-N-Clean is a stool bulking agent, internal moisturizer and detoxifying mixture that contains water soluble fibers from 3 different sources: Psyllium Husks, Guar Gum and Irish Moss (a seaweed) plus 8 other active ingredients including detox herbs and nutrients. (see ingredient details). It provides bulk for the colon, food for the colon cells and detox herbs to cleanse the colon tissues. As a result it promotes wound healing in the colon.
Lean-N-Clean contains several detox herbs and nutrients from whole foods. It has the properties of a soothing internal lubricant that acts as an internal moisturizer. As a result, it helps to soften the stool and relieve constipation. However, since it posses a tremendous water absorbing and holding power, it increases the stool bulk and delay whole-colonic transit. and can thus reduce excessive stool hydration. This feature will reduce IBS-related diarrhea. However, Lean-N-Clean does not contain stimulant laxatives, and therefore, it does not create lazy-bowel syndrome.
You may use Lean-N-Clean as a maintenance therapy after your diverticulitis symptoms have subsided.
Some people may find a high fiber formulation worsens bloating and distention at the beginning of therapy, but these symptoms usually resolve after a few weeks, or after the 2nd stage of Nutrigenesis Approach Intestinal Cleansing Program.

This is one aspect overlooked or ignored by most conventional Western medical practitioners. We accumulate toxic waste in our colon over years of eating. Some of this toxic waste matter may dry up and accumulate in diverticula or pile up in certain curvatures of our colon. This toxic waste matter serves colonic cesspools for harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites and toxins. Doesn't it make sense to remove or cleanse these waste materials and toxins on a regular basis to eliminate the breeding ground for these unwanted "guests" in our colon? These unwanted "guests" are the major root cause of IBS.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by recurrent or chronic disturbances of bowel function and lower abdominal pain in patients who have no evidence of biochemical or structural gastrointestinal abnormality.
Abdominal pain associated with predominant constipation, diarrhea or alternating
constipation and diarrhea. Patients often experience rumbling in the bowels,
a sense of incomplete evacuation, urgency (having to rush to have a bowel movement), straining during a bowel movement, passing mucous and abdominal fullness, bloating or swelling.
The prevalence of IBS is about 10% in most industrialized countries. IBS affects women two to three times more often than men. Its prevalence is similar across ethnic group in the United States. It is estimated only 10% to 25% of patients with IBS seek medical care. Monetary cost has been estimated to be $25 billion a year through direct costs of healthcare use and indirect cost from absenteeism from work. Patients with IBS are absent from work three times as much as individuals without it. IBS greatly affects physical, emotional and social functioning of affected individuals.
- Food sensitivities
- Bacteria/Fungus/Parasites
- Accumulation of toxic waste matters
- Stress
- Review dietary history to assess contributing factors such as caffeine, alcohol, disaccharides, legumes, cabbage, lactose, fructose, sorbitol and certain animal or vegetable fats. Advising small, low-fat meals to help reduce symptoms.
- Medications such as Antidiarrheal Opioids (Lomotil or Imodium) to relieve symptoms. These drugs slow down the bowel movement but they are temporary symptomatic treatments. They are also addictive leading to potential abuse. Side effects include dizziness, drowsiness and palpitation.
- Antidepressants are prescribed for patient who suffer from depression or panic attacks related to IBS.
- Stool bulking agents and high-fiber diets.
- Hypnotherapy or Psychotherapy.
- Dietary modifications: Avoid use of chemical or herbal stimulant laxatives on a regular basis. The chronic use of stimulant laxatives has the potential to damage the "myenteric plexus" (nerves in the intestinal muscles), causing lazy-bowel syndrome.
Examples of chemical stimulant laxative: Bisacodyl (Dulcolax), phenophthalein (Ex-lax, Phenolax, Modane, Feen-a-mint), casanthranol, mineral oil.
Examples of herbal stimulant laxative: castor oil (Neoloid, Purge, Emusoil), senna (Senokot, Dieter's Tea), cascara sagrada.
- If you are over 40 years old, it is strongly recommended that you have a baseline colonoscopy. This procedure should be repeated every 3 to 5 years, especially if you have had colon diseases, such as polyps, diverticulitis, colitis, hemorrhoids, etc.
- Avoid high-protein diets (high protein bars, diets with high content of bean, meat, cheese and/or dairy)
- Increase the consumption of fruits and leafy vegetables.
- Increase the consumption of water
- Avoid consumption of fatty food, deep-fried food, especially when saturated fat, fake fat (Olestra) and/or hydrogenated oils are being used.
- Avoid alcohol or nicotine.
- Avoid concentrated sweets, especially lactose or sorbitol.
- Stress management (anger management, meditation, hypnosis, yoga and other forms of exercises aimed at mind and body control) may also be very helpful.
