Looking for NEGATIVE reviews of Isagenix

Not sure if the OP is still monitoring this thread, but in case anyone else is, thought I would jump in....

I have Crohn's and found that the Isagenix cleanse actually made my inflammation far, far worse.  I was pretty much in remission before I started and after a couple of weeks was having a lot of pain; when I stopped the cleanse the pain stopped.  I have had the same experience with every cleanse and nutritional shake I have tried, so I don't do them at all anymore; have had much more success by just doing a clean diet; no grains (especially wheat), no sugar, limited dairy and no processed foods.

Also consider being tested for celiac disease!

MLM stands for Multi Level Marketing.. it is networking

K. My husband had advance ulcerative colitis. This lead to colon cancer and a complete colo-rectal removal. His digestive system, sadly, makes IBS (my mom has this as does my longest friend) look like a cake walk. As you do not wish to hear all te reasons why I believe that this product is so fantastic, I will tell you that for those of you like yourself and my hubby it is a matter of being careful and slow with the introduction of the product. His first attempt lead to an 'explosive' end result...not fun while being able to sit to eliminate BUT when you are limited to an ostomy it is often far more traumatic to have lower intestinal issues. It scared the c**p out of him (pardon the pun). I can't say anything negative...sorry. I can tell you to start slow and SLOWLY increase your use of the product. It was recommended that he start with half a shake every other day and slowly move towards the two per day usual format. your bodies are far more likely to respond than us average bears so be careful. You're gonna love it once you acclimate your body to it.

It is so crazy when I read people believing that these substances can go in to your cells. I have degrees in both biology and chemistry, and I can promise you THEY DO NOT GO IN AND CLEANSE YOUR CELLS! There are very specific chemical pathways for nutrients to go in and out of your cells, and if the Isagenix stuff gets broken down to the exact same molecules as everything else they can get in to your cells and do exactly what everything else does. The only thing making you think you are being "cleansed" is that they have diuretics and laxative properties. Really, people will believe anything! I'm sure you lose weight on it, just like you would if you drank anything else with that low calorie count and just ate one meal. There is nothing different about it, just sales jargon.

Aloha, I am a Internal cleansing Specialist aka colonics. it always boils back to food. I recommend cutting out sugar, grains and diary. I have not tired IsAgenix, but I am going to. I know through my studies that it is the minerals, vitamins and botanicals that our food is depleted of. I know I keep very clean, colonics regularly, alkaline water every day, organic food. My hair is falling out in the handfuls. I am over weight, and I can pin point alot of my problems to emotional issues. the weight is for protection against society. government using fear tactics, war and violence on this planet. many suffer from this. I will get on IsAgenix and I will post often and let people know how the product works for me. blessings to all, world wide health is coming fourth.. your health is your wealth..

Hi, Chel! Do you already have an Isagenix associate to purchase from?

Oh my gosh.......your post is the carbon copy of what happened to my husband - I could have written that post! He started Isagenix in Sept 2009 and stopped after two weeks with severe pains and was diagnosed with Crohns after having IBS for years. He lost 80lbs within 9 months without trying. The flairs never subsided and he ended up with a stricture which resulted in 75% of his colon removed. He has finally started to feel better in the last year. It is scary how similar the results. I have always blamed Isagenix for the severe "reaction" and downward spiral in health - but like most on this page, the only thing you hear is the supposed good news. I would (and have) steered clear of this product.

I was diagnosed IBS when i was 18. Suffered huge with gas pain, loose bowels, major cramping, major bloating, etc. At 35 a naturalopath did a blood allergy test. It Came back that I was highly allergic to gluten and eggs. After 4 days of not eating these items , I have never had a symptom again. Honestly! Most IBS diagnose is missed food allergies. Only time i get cramping, diarrhea and gas is when I now accidently eat something containing gluten or eggs. I also drink coconut milk and avoid dairy mostly. I believe this is why Isagenix works for IBS people. :)

Anytime you go from one way of eating to another, your body can react. Just as if you had been on a vegan diet and then introduced meat back into your system. Its a shock to a system not used to digesting a certain type of food. I'm not saying this as a pro-isagenix person, just as normal common sense. Hopefully your doctor explained this to you also, which is probably why she/he couldn't say it was without a doubt Isagenix that caused your problems.

I've been on Isagenix for a month or so and have seen good results. I don't use it as a lifestyle for me personally...I do the shakes in the morning and night and eat sensibly during the day. For me it was more about getting the structure i needed and a "plan" because left to my own devices, unfortunately, I'm not that disciplined. For me it has been great, but I can see where it causes problems for some people. You win some, you lose some.

If eating "regular food" put the weight on in the first place, going back to the same habits WILL put the weight back on. Isagenix is more than losing weight. It's about providing your body with the nutrients it needs to work the say it should. By doing that - fat is shed. When you return to food - it simply means eating well and stopping the shakes. The rest of the products provide what "regular food" does not provide because of all the toxins in our world and the lack of nutrients in our food. Thanks for allowing me this opportunity to simply state my opinion.

I've been using Isagenix for 3 years. I started for weight loss and stayed on because of all the benefits it had on my health. I use certain products but also have a steady diet of regular food. I have never gained the weight back and still feel amazing. I have turned a lot of people onto it over the last few years and all but one have been successful and continued with the products. It has so many benefits for many different things. 

Im a 46 year old male that decided to give Isagenix a try. I was sold on the idea that it provides the essential nutrients that are unavailable in most food s today. I am not over weight and wasn't concerned with its effect on body-fat   I do have some positive things to say about the products though.... first thing I noticed was a huge improvement in my joint pain... its been reduced substantially. It was totally unexpected but for that reason alone I will continue taking the products. Another thing that has been improved is the frequency of migraines I was getting. I haven't had one since I  started 2 months ago.... normally they would come weekly. Also im feeling less heartburn than I used to. I will mention that I am a coffee drinker and sometime doing the two together upsets my gastrointestinal system. No big deal though. I am a happy Isagenix user. 

Hello, I've never tried it, a never will, but do know that it's made with harmful ingredients. There is no pill, shake, wrap or ointment "diet" miracle that is 100% healthy for our bodies. Prevention is the key to healthier living. If you consume whole grown foods, exercise daily, drink plenty of water & get rest, it's amazing how the body will heal itself from all types of ailments. Key term, nutrition from whole foods, not man made shakes, vitamins mineral supplements that's never been tested or fully researched. If it doesn't have (nsf) on the bottle don't take it! My friend who's a nurse told me about a guy she works with was using it & he passed out at work. I take & market JuicePlus+ which is "whole food" nutrition with 17 servings of fruits & veggies. It's been studied and scientifically proven to help our digestive systems and a whole lot more. Supported by hundreds of medical dr's, health professionals and research from 10 different universities. . I know people who's had stomach issues who swear by it after they've started taking it. It's part of there daily nutrition plan. Best investment is our health and healing from the inside out! I would encourage you to keep doing your research and you can always call juiceplus+ corporate office they would be happy to help answer any questions for IBS. Best of Health & Happiness to you!
