Best Thing Yet! | (Posted on 4/23/15)
Review by LISA
Haven't felt so good in a long time. Got rid of the bloating. Awesome product
It's wonderful | (Posted on 3/2/15)
Review by 417landmom
Started 2 weeks ago. I have so much energy. I'm losing my gut chub. I'm not hungry at all except when I really need to eat (instead of thinking I need to). I've developed a huge distaste for junk food. My daughter wanted me to try her lollipop, and it honestly was disgusting. My body feels like it's going the "clean eating way" and I'm better for it. This was the perfect way to kickoff a much better lifestyle and diet for me. I'm really ready to get healthy and this cleanse was a fantastic first step!
Great product | (Posted on 11/17/14)
Review by Lou
I really like this product it eliminating waste but not in a crazy way it wasn't making you go to the bathroom every five minutes but it does make you feel better getting everything out of your system
Great cleanse | (Posted on 11/12/14)
Review by Joanne
I had not experienced complete bowel emptying until I took CleanseSmart. Early on, I lost 5 pounds of mystery weight that I had been hanging on for a few years. I feel so much better now. My weight is more stable now and doesn't fluctuate with meals, period, etc. Post cleanse, I am keeping track of my fiber intake to make sure I get 30-35 grams per day to ensure regular daily elimination.
Effective & Gentle | (Posted on 10/27/14)
Review by Amelia
I really enjoyed this cleanse because it helped to eliminate waste in an effective, yet still gentle way. It helps keep you regular without upsetting your stomach or making you feel the need to rush to the bathroom at inconvenient times.
made me sick | (Posted on 10/27/14)
Review by MRR
Didn't work for me at all, all it did was make me feel really sick. I had bad headaches/nausea (among other unpleasant side effects I won't mention) the whole time I took it (10 days), and saw no good effects whatsoever. I know it's supposed to be 30 days, but I just couldn't take the side effects, and I would have thought within 10 days I would have seen SOME positive effect if it was going to work. What a ripoff.
Wow | (Posted on 10/8/14)
Review by Nancy
I have tried a whole lot of things to try to combat my chronic constipation over the years so I was hesitant to try this. But money was very well spent as I am pooping several times a day - that's a first for me. In Week 2 and wishing I could take this indefinitely. Never felt so good before.
This is a great product and simple to follow | (Posted on 10/1/14)

I feel so much better! | (Posted on 9/13/14)
Review by Neese
Finally, I've searched hi and low for a good detox/cleanser that would cure me of my constipation, everything else caused me to have cramps and I've even ended up in the er due to an awful interaction with harsh cleansers and my daily meds. With this cleanser I feel so revived, I'm now having regular bowel movements. I'll definitely continue to use these products. Thank you!
I think it's awesome | (Posted on 8/29/14)
Review by Andi
I really didn't notice the detoxification while on the cleanse at first. I've been cursed with a hietal hernia and ibs so I assumed I would always have troubles with my bowels. But after the first week, it started working. I never figured I would find a non prescription product that would work.
I can't believe it! | (Posted on 8/28/14)
Review by Dawn
I have had acne, large pores and blackheads since I was 12 years old. I am now 56. I have been put on birth control pills, acutane - 3 therapies, tetracycline, erythomicine, etc. I have tried scrubs, lotions, creams, herbs, diets - macrobiotic, vegetarian, paleo and now no sugar and no processed foods. I have meditated, prayed, reikied, yoga's and cranio sacral'd. I really, really believed my skin was jus full of pimples, bumps and blackheads naturally and I must accept and love it as it was. I tried the cleanse because I was constipated a lot and feeling low energy. It made my skin look like it did when I was 14! I just do not believe it.
Best cleanse ever! | (Posted on 6/5/14)

This is the best cleanse I have ever used and it is gentle too. No griping. It is great for a yearly spring cleaning.

Review by Phyllis
Wow! I sure needed that! I admit that I was a little scared at first. My body made a few noises that I'd not heard before. You can actually feel things moving through your intestines and colon. You sure get a great cleanse out. I feel so much better. I'd just recently been told I had celiac disease and just wanted to flush my system of all the bad stuff and this cleanse makes you feel real clean again. Thank you. Now I'm on to the Liver Detox.

I was always bloated. Since doing this cleanse I look so much thinner and it keeps my bowels moving. I love it! Thanks.
Helped My Dad | (Posted on 9/21/13)
Review by Rose
My dad is 80 and in awesome shape. He has a garden and eats regularly from it. My dad had been complaining about stomach pains every time he ate, He was constipated and told everyone he met. He went to see doctors and had many things prescribed to help his pain and constipation( IBS). They also gave him a colonoscopy . His friends gave him all kinds of laxatives from the pharmacies. This went on I'd say a little over a year. He was so upset he said he wanted to die. I got on the internet did some research and found Renew life & Brenda Watson, then ordered their books. I got on a plane & went to visit him. I started him on the program. I spent a week with him and made visits to the local heath food stores and called the very helpful renew life help line. It took a little over a week for the cleanse to start working. I brought all the stuff he had back to the and showed the pharmacist the cleanse. He looked at the ingredients and said it was mild enough to take with the high blood pressure and prostate meds. The pharmacist did suggest a plan to separate how to take them with the cleanse just be be sure.
I had dad change some of his eating habits like Brenda Watson suggested (eat protein & veggies or starch & veggies) & added some magnesium to help his bowels get started. My dad is cured and happy! Now everyone he meets he tells how his bowel movement was. We did added the recommended products from Renew like the oil supplements and fiber smart.
Great product! | (Posted on 8/21/13)
Review by Toni-Ann
I have been using CleanseSmart for years and always feel great while using and after. My hair and nails grow while using and my allergies are so much better. I do house cleaning for a living so I use CleanseSmart 3 to 4 times a year because of all the chemicals I am inhaling. I also have more energy and being a female, it also makes the menstrual cycle that month much better. I also have a cyst in my right breast that had gotten big. While using a cleanse on month, the cyst got smaller. When I researched the ingredients, I found that the red clover leaf and stem helped with the cyst. This is also why I use this product 3 to 4 times a year. Great product.
Did not notice any "cleansing" | (Posted on 5/17/13)
Review by Marsha
I used this product as directed, even taking the supplements advised on the information package. I was hoping to cleanse my system after stopping the birth control pill. I eat a clean diet and exercise everyday (cardio and weights). I gained 5 lbs while on this cleanse. Not sure what happened. Im currently doing the liver cleanse to see if I can further rid my system of the nasty pill.
First Time In 30 Years | (Posted on 4/4/13)
Review by CD
This is my first online review of any product ever! I have just about the most sluggish system of anyone I know. I am a 40 yr old male and a skeptic...I have had problems ever since I had radiation and chemotherapy at age 13 for lymphatic cancer...that is 27 years. I have been taking CleanseSmart now for almost 3 weeks and I must say that I haven't felt this good in years. It really cleans our your colon, gives you more energy and I definitely feel UNBELIEVABLE. If you are thinking of using this product, JUST DO IT!
Thank you | (Posted on 3/28/13)
Review by Tina
This product has been the best thing that has entered my life. My digestive system is regular, my bowel movements are not painful any more, my skin is clearer and my tummy is flatter. This is the first detox/cleanse I have participated in and I'm happy to say it was pleasant and gentle to my body. Thank you CleanseSmart for helping me more forward to a healthy, new life.

I am back to where I'm supposed to be | (Posted on 2/12/13)
Review by MM123
I started this cleanse after a 'wakeup call' from my body. I'd never experienced heartburn before and was starting to get it occasionally. This really alarmed me, and I was feeling lethargic in general. Living abroad for two years in a developing country, coupled with returning to 'creature comforts' available in America was doing a number on me, I think. All I knew was something definitely wasn't right, so I decided to cleanse my way back to ground zero.
By the second day of the cleanse, I experienced a dramatic increase in energy, which gave me the motivation and strength to exercise more regularly. I felt (and still feel) lighter, more energetic. When my chin broke out on the fifth day, which it had never done before, I interpreted it as my body getting rid of unwanted stuff. My skin recovered quickly and looks great.
I'm not one to cut out food completely, but I did change my eating habits. I upped my intake of foods like kale and raw almonds, and I seriously reduced the amount of carbohydrates I consumed. I've been eating ground flax seed several times a week since finishing the cleanse, and I still feel great. I am grateful to Brenda Watson and her company, ReNew Life, for helping me get back on track.
Worked as promise | (Posted on 1/31/13)
Review by getting fit
Me and my husband has been using the smart cleanse and have seen a tremendous change. He has dropped about 10 pounds and I have lost about 5 pounds. I am currently on my last week of pills. I have noticed that my lower belly fat has gone down alot. I currently work out regular my taking classes during lunch and occassionaly working in a session in the morning or evening. I feel more energized during the day and not as ftigued. My movements aare spriadic depending on what i have eaten. If i eat something healthy I am fine if a go for a fast food 30 min later by body is getting rid of it. So it does work that your body is cleansing all the junk out and helps to promote good eating habits. I will be recommeding this product to others.
instant work | (Posted on 10/9/12)
Review by gettinghealthy
I have just started using this product. Its my second day and I can feel the change. I have more energy, I am using the restroom more, I have notice some bloating but I have a feeling it is due to lack of water. Once I get more water in my system the bloating goes down. So far so good Im anxious to see/feel the final results
Opposite effect | (Posted on 9/10/12)
Review by Julie
This is the first online review I've ever written about anything. It's the first time that I've felt like it was important to share my experience with others.
I'm very sad to report that this cleanse did nothing good for me at all, and in fact made my life worse for the 4+ weeks I took it. I was pretty healthy and fit prior to starting it - I was just looking for a little boost and a kickstart to losing the 5 extra pounds I've been carrying for a little while. Instead, it left me constipated and miserable the entire time, and ultimately 5 pounds HEAVIER. I never felt "good" the entire time I was taking it. I initially thought the feeling bad was the result of the toxins being releaesed, but it never went away. And I thought the weight gain was just the constipation, but it didn't go away after successfully using laxatives. I stopped taking the night pills for the final week of the cleanse, and that seemed to improve my bowel functioning some, but I honestly don't think the cleanse did anything good for me. And I am a RenewLife believer and customer. I use their DigestMore product often, and it works very well for me.
Maybe I got a faulty set of bottles? I don't know. All that I know is that this 30 day cleanse was a miserable experience, physically and psychologically. I do not recommend it.
Works as advertised | (Posted on 7/31/12)
Review by Viz
I was on a IdealProtein diet for 4 months and lost 50 pounds. But it felt unnatural, unsustainable. Also, I was pretty constipated and felt low on energy. I came off the diet and immediately started the cleanse as well as healthy, vegetable based (with some protein) eating regiment. After a few days of frequent visits to the bathroom, the process stabilized and I got very regular (after every meal), my energy level shot up, my stomach got much flatter and my eyes and skin were clear. I slept much better as well. In the process I have been dropping about a pound of weight every week. I feel that this is very sustainable and healthy. I am about to finish the course and looking to switch to Liver Detox for the next 30 days. I recommend the product .
I loved this product | (Posted on 7/25/12)
Review by Shay
I must say that this product does everything that it says it does. I was a bit skeptical at first but was persuaded to go ahead and try it. I love the naturals anyhow and this was one of the best. When I first used this product I was shocked at how fast it worked me and begun cleaning my system. You should be at home because it works fast. I give this a five star because I am pleased with this product
Great Product | (Posted on 6/6/12)
Review by Jennifer
This is indeed an excellent product. Highly recommended..although..after the cleanse you might feel a bit weaker..or lacking in vitamins and minerals...but..it's highly recommended and is safe to use. feel like a total inside squeaky clean cleanse. I've used other Renew Life products before and it has helped me restore myself after exposure to toxins and bad air pollution..I dont normally give out five stars..but this one you do..:)

I loved the cleanse but at first it wiped me out, it felt like i had the flu. i recommend that you do it on friday and dont plan on anything just stay home for the weekend. you feel all the toxins and bad stuff come out of your body. My legs ached for some reason but i drank tons of water. my face felt clearer, my mind was sharp and i had more energy. didnt loose any weight but my stomach felt alot flatter.

Review by Laura
I am on my 2nd week of the cleanse and nothing is really happening. My BM's have changed but I would say for the worse. I was hoping for some weight loss but nothing so far. Don't really know what it is doing but hopefully it is doing something good???
Will always use this product! | (Posted on 4/9/12)
Review by HealthyGurl
My best friend is a hollistic nutritionist, and I have learned alot about being healthy from her. She introduced me to cleanses a few years back, and this 30 day program was my first ever cleanse! I thought it would be impossible because of how long it is, and the diet was soo much different than my "usal everyday diet" (which was horrible anyways!). When I followed the cleanse's diet, combined with the minimum 30 minutes of exercise that should be done everyday, I lost a total of 15 lbs!! No joke. Im totally serious. My bloating disappeared, and lost inches off my thighs and tummy. I have done many cleanses since this one, and this cleanse has always proven to be best, and I will always use this one every year-I always cleanse once a year.
If your looking to look weight, feel better, reduce bloating, and increase energy, then this is the cleanse for you.

Review by rolly
this cleanser is amazing, i'm almost through with it and i feel full of energy and i also lost weight although it was not my intentions. after a 3 months of heavy protein diet, i was suffering from constipation, i took this cleanser and i don't know what constipation is anymore, even though i still eat good amounts of proteins per day, it really really helped me. i have never taken any cleansers before, but i plan on doing this often, certainely when i wana shed a few pounds.
Works Great: Loosing Weight, Healing Past Problems, Feel Great | (Posted on 1/30/12)
Review by Kris
I'm only one week in and I have lost 8.5 lbs. I weighed 144.5lbs and I'm down to 136lbs. It does take a lot of work grocery shopping, making sure I have fresh produce in at all times, as well as having to cook every evening, but the results so far are great. I also have suffered from acid reflux, and since staring the cleanse I haven't noticed it flare up at all. My acne is under control, and my bowels seem good, no bloating or pain as I usually have. I also feel lighter if that makes sense (even beside the weight) I hope that everything stays once I stop the cleanse, but I'm definitely going to change my diet to eat more healthy.

Review by Coral
Im actually writing because I saw the negative post with one star that read "I dont know why there arent any negative comments- are they being deleted?".....Im sorry but if this product did not wotk for you, u should see a Dr, & MAKE them give u an MRI or something, because this product has a good amount of the best herbs u can find! That an abumdant amount of products CLAIM to have in them but dont.....perhaps if ur lookin for constipation relief, ur best bet is the Cleansemore, a bottle of 60......this stuff has saved my life from many days of lethargic heavy constipation.
Marvelous Products | (Posted on 1/5/12)
Review by Joe
I just wanted to let you know how great the smart cleanse and probiotics helped me through some hard times I had experienced with my stomach, intestines and some type of gas or something that attacked me once a week, then every other day then every day. I won't go into great detail, but I did experience great pain, and I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.
I arose from my bed one morning, went into the TV room, did some channel surfing and just happened to tune in the PBS channel, and thats when I saw Brenda Watson telling people about your Gut, she caught my interest and I listened to what she had to say. I then thought about my symptoms and decided to try the probiotics and smart cleanse. I thought "It can't hurt to try it because I certainly couldn't keep going the way I was in horrific pain anytime the gas or air bubble decided to rear its ugly head." I received the Probiotics and smart cleanse, read the instructions and began my probiotics along with the smart cleanse program. I began to improve within the second day and I could hardly believe it, I haven't had any attacks for two weeks now, and my energy has improved, I eat what I want now without getting sick, I mow my lawn without pain in my legs and back, my wife and children have commented on how good I look and I have to admit that I 've got the spring back in my step I feel as If I could walk for miles and I am so thankful for finding Renew life. You are a God send. Thank you so much for your wonderful and marvelous products. Renew Life is my road to health and a new life. I don't know the personel at renew life personally, but I love each of you dearly.

Review by coppertop667
I am on my last few days of the cleanse & I am sad to stop it. I am wondering if I can continue to take it beyond the 30 days. Before the cleanse, I could go a whole week without going to the bathroom but now, I go everyday sometimes twice a day. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone with constipation issues. My only gripe is that the PM pills have a subtle but funky taste but totally worth the result!

Use as directed and this clease will change your life. I'm 33 y/o male and lost 10-12 lbs. My stomach is flat and I don't work out at all. Keep you eating healthy and give your plumbing a "new", fresh start. Helps with skin issues, emotional well-being and energy. Gotta love this stuff!
3rd week magic time | (Posted on 10/14/11)
Review by Eloine
I have IBS-C and when i bought this product i recieved the fibre support for free i took it and in return i was constipated for 2 weeks. I am now into week three and my bowel is finally being emptied. My skin has changed dramatically for the good and I feel so much better. I have been trying to change my eating habits but it is hard. Those that are saying it doesn't work need to give it a chance. It should not be used to lose weight thats not what it is for! I would recommend it to any one who needs to do a full body cleanse to help their transition into a healthier lifestyle.

Review by RCS
This product is great to use by iteself, however, I find it is at it's peak when combined with a regular daily workout routine and plenty of fluid (preferrably water) intake throughout the day! Kept me very regular, and helped my diet be much more effective than in the past without using the cleanse. I recommend this to all my family, friends, & co-workers who are trying to lose weight at a steady pace for long term results.

Excellent Results | (Posted on 8/26/11)
Review by Delphia
I have just finished the CleanseSmart program with excellent results. I am preparing to start the Liver Detox and look forward to added improvement in my digestion. I watched one of your appearances on PBS television.
Learning about your Renew Life products and the HOPE formula has literally been a life saver for me. After an unfortunate accidental tearing apart of small intestine during hysterectomy in 1966, I have had terrible problems with constipation, gas and general digestive discomfort. I take your probiotics and enzymes. Thank you.
Fantastic | (Posted on 8/26/11)
Review by Alene
I found the cleanser to be fantastic. In fact, I had recently been to the doctor and nothing was found in my various tests. However, in week 2 of the cleanse a very large and long tape worm came out live in my stool. The doctor was amazed. I would recommend this product to anyone and will try the others as well. Was very gentle on the stomach.
Helped my extreme gas/burping | (Posted on 8/17/11)
Review by Beck
I am extremely pleased to write this very satisfactory review. For over a year, I have experienced extreme gas (no matter what I ate) and also burping with all drinks (non- carbonated). It was really messing up my personal life. I went to doctors to find out what was wrong (also gastroenterologist), but they couldn't help me. I tried many different things to try to rid this problem (different brands of probiotics, digestive enzymes, and other remedies for gas/burping). Nothing helped, until I did this CleanseSmart cleanse. I experienced immediate improvement within a few days. I completed the cleanse program about a month ago and I no longer have the problem with gas & burping. I am also taking Renew Life's DigestMore digestive enzyme with each meal, as well as the Critical Care 30 billion probiotic daily. These products have really helped me and I am so relieved and happy to not have to worry about these embarassing problems any more. Thank you, Renew Life, for your exceptional products.
So Far, so Good! | (Posted on 8/11/11)
Review by DG
I'm not taking this to lose weight, but to cleanse my system to get rid of bloated stomach, sore joints, and a lot of other issues. I usually cleanse once a year, but haven't in about 2 years.
I'm only on day two, but I feel great! The fiber, et. al. kicked in *bigtime* so I'm glad I was by a bathroom (I'm only taking two fiber pills a day, not four). 40 minutes later (everything got flushed out) my sinuses have cleared, the pain in my neck subsided, and I must have lost 10 pounds. I've taken the various herbs that make up the AM pill before, but never in this combination before.
This stuff really works!

Review by Alex
First time to do any sort of cleanse and I was very happy with results.. I've suffered constipation for most of my life and this is the first thing that has made me regular.and with the cleanse and change in diet I could tell my clothes were much more loose on me..... I watched my diet and ate lots of salad and fruit and cut down on meat and caffeine. After doing the cleanse I no longer drink coffee after being a coffee drinker my whole life.. I tried drinking it after being really tired one day and It tasted awful to me that I couldn't even drink it!
I will defintely look at doing this cleanse twice a year and look for more of their products.. if you suffer constipation , try this product!

The smart choice is ClenseSmart | (Posted on 4/19/11)
Review by JZAZ
I learned better late than never that for dieting to be effective, one should cleanse the essential organs first. My results were not immediate, I followed the directions and was ultimately very satisfied with the results. It is convenient, easy on the systems too. I also was very conscious of avoiding animal fat, reducing sodium and stopping all fast foods, and soft drinks. I experienced little discomfort during the first week, then it subsided. I felt energized and clear headed. I hihghly recommend this product- just use good common sense, for the best results.

I really wanted this product to work. It sounded very good and I was impressed by the positive reviews but unfortunately it had no noticeable effects on my IBS-C with D.

My daughter told me to get CleasneSMart after she had success with it. I did and I must say that after 50 years of problems, I now feel great. Flat stomach and no bloating. I waited one month and did CleanseSmart again so I can feel like a normal human being. Thank you.
No result | (Posted on 3/17/11)
Review by Kitkat
This is my first cleanse and I've seen no result. I've actually gained 4 lbs after the cleanse. It makes me eat more and crave more. I'm not going to do it again.

What a relief it was! | (Posted on 3/5/11)
Review by Gina
After years of feeling constipation, I didn't think it could get it worse. Until I got so constipated I was afraid that I would die from it. I went to the doctor who told me so kindly and not serious at all to get some magnesium steareate over the counter. It ,like all the other remedies, made me release watery stool but no solid results! (If you know what I mean) Then I remembered taking Renew Life some years ago and how good it was . So I traveled over 65 miles to get. It was worth every mile! After taking CleanseSmart for just a day, it was a toilet-experiencing miracle! Oh I was so thankful to OMG and Brenda for granting me the privilege of getting rid of years of waste out of my body. Now I tell others who suffers from constipation about it! And yes - Oh what a relief it was!
IBS Troubles - Did nothing! | (Posted on 3/4/11)
Review by LLL
I am finishing my 1st week and this has made all my IBS issues worse. I have been very bloated with stomach pains and cramps. I wake up and go to bed feeling bad and throughout the day things get worse. My constipation has also gotten worse. For the money spent on this item and the hope that I had for it to help me it was a real let down. Also, I workout a lot and eat very healthy and for some reason in a week I have gained about 5lbs! Don't understand that. Might work for some but did not work for me and I am disappointed and won't be buying any items from this line again.
Great Product | (Posted on 3/4/11)
Review by Sherry
I'm almost through the first week of CleanseSmart and have become more "regular" as the product specified. I can't tell that I've lost any weight yet but do feel better in the sense that I'm more energized. I'm going to continue with the 30 day regiment and will definitely look at some of the other products that are offered!
Week 3 | (Posted on 2/22/11)
Review by Megalooch
I am into week three and I have posted previously on this rating review. I had a baby 10 months ago and have had this swollen, distended stomach that I just chalked up to the infamous "baby fat" that takes forever to go away. This product has for the first time in ten months, made that hard, distended stomach...deflate.
The product works. I'm doing the Paragone next. Then I may come back to some sort of their daily cleanse b/c I feel so much better. I did have naseau and some headaches, but my appetite has decreased, my cravings are minimal, and whereas I don't feel a surge of energy, I do realize that I don't feel exhausted as much as I use to. My clothes are fitting looser, I'm losing a few pounds here in the third week and I just "feel" slimmer.
You can email me if you want more details. I'm a big fan now!

Day 3 of the Cleanse | (Posted on 2/14/11)
Review by Elaine
I have tried other cleanses and found that all I got out of it was terrible cramps, terrible diarrehea and felt no better at all . I am on Day 3 of Clenase-Smart. I have a bit of a headache and some nausea. Neither are troublesome but instead I can feel that this product is actually doing something. I have had great water loss. I find my appetite is diminished and free of cravings. I don't usually find it easy to keep up my fluid intake but now I am eating less and wanting way more to drink. The bottom line is, that on day 3 I feel a lot better. Even with the headache and nausea I still have this amazing feeling of "feeling well". Its hard to explain. Anyway, I am amazed at the changes in 3 days. I will never waste my money on cleanses from other companies again. I'd love to try the "heavy metal" cleanse next
No one else is mentioning? | (Posted on 2/11/11)
Review by Meggalooch
This is my first cleanse and I admit, I am more "regular" and my fecal matter is "Different" so it seems to be stirring some stuff up. Which is the point. However, It appears that I'm the only one suffering from or the only one bold enough to mention that even though I am in my second week....and this may go away, but I cannot stop passing gas.....
Is no one else suffering from this?
4 lbs in 2 days! | (Posted on 2/8/11)
Review by Mama N
This is only my third day taking Cleanse Smart (as well as the recommended Fiber Smart dosage and a fish oil supplement from GNC) but I've lost 4 lbs already! I realize this is all water and poop, but it's so nice not to be constipated and bloated, which is why I decided to try this cleanse in the first place. I haven't felt any side effects so far except for some very mild cramping in the early morning (while I was still sleeping) after my first day of dosages.
I'll check in again later to leave more feedback once I'm closer to the end of my 30 days.
I have MS and this restored my energy | (Posted on 1/20/11)
Review by Venolia
I have had issues with fatigue for the last 20 years. My family Dr blamed it on depression and gave me a prescription...I was still tired. I tried this cleans a few years back and was amazed at how my energy level shot up. Since then, it was determined that I had MS for the last 20 years and that was partly to blame for my chronic fatigue.
I was feeling constantly exhausted for the last couple of years --- yes years--- and remembered that Smart Cleanse made me feel so much better when I tried it a few years back, so I tried it again. I am in week 2 and my energy level is sooooo much better than it has been in years.
Problem is, I can only use the cleanse a couple of times a year... I need to find out which active ingredient or combination of ingredients is making me feel so much better.
I wish I could use this product everyday because of how great it makes me feel.

Review by msann30008
I went to my herbalist to buy a weight loss product. But, because I had tried a couple of different things he suggested that I try CleanseSmart before trying another product. Well, I tried this cleanse and it was the best thing ever! My stomach was gone down before I realized it. My boss was the first to notice. I also became repulsed by meat. I don't know if this had anything to do with the cleanse, but I haven't had much meat since my cleanse about 8 months ago. I'm now ready to start another regime. I have been so regular with my bowel movements, which is important to me. Since taking Smart Cleanse, I just recently added priobotics and it is also something that has aided in getting rid of waste. By the way, Smart Cleanse also cleanses the blood, liver, kidneys, skin, and other organs. Try it, you won't be sorry.
A Leap of Faith -- Excellent Product | (Posted on 12/28/10)
Review by Bonita
Since 2006, I've been taken prescription medicine (Amitiza 24 mcg) twice a day to help me have regular bowl movements since I have multiple problems with my colon. Even with the assistance of this medicine, I wasn't guaranteed a daily bowel movement. Prior to 2006, I would barely had bowel movements within a week or longer unless I used a laxative. Since Amitiza was working for me, my medical physician continued to prescribe the medicine to me since other treatment has not worked consistently.
However, I took a leap of faith with the ColonFit and OilSmart 369 without my prescription medicine for the first week in December 2010 to prepare my body for the CleanseSmart. I was ecstatic with the results of the ColonFit and OilSmart because I was able to have 2-3 bowl movements per day without the assistance of Amitiza. Starting the second week in December, I introduced my body to the CleanseSmart...Let's just say -- I am VERY regular. My insides feel good, I have more energy, and I have been going to the restroom regularly without the assistance of my prescription medicine. I am now online renewing my order for the ColonFit and OilSmart plus a few other items since I've had so much success with the Renew Life Products.
First time cleanser | (Posted on 11/17/10)
Review by Ladykay
I was always a little hesitant to try cleansers in the past because of some of the sideeffects, but I bought this product after a very good friend of mine recommended it. I must say, I am extremenly happy with the results so far and have seen a drastic change in my energy level. I followed the instructions by starting off with one pill in the morning and one in the evening for the first three days and am now on two a day.
I felt the effects on the very first day, I feel much less sluggish and have had at least two bowel movements each day. I am very very happy with the results so far and will continue on for the 30 days as recommend. This a great product for someone who is new to cleansing (which I am!!)

Review by April
People were often asking me if I'm pregnant because I was swollen and all my limbs suddenly ballooned. Unfortunately, I'm just mega bloated and not pregnant. After trying this, on the third day of the cleanse an office mate said that I suddenly lost weight! He was surprised because the other day I was super swollen. The cleanse help me get rid of the excess water and flatten my tummy. I feel lighter. I'm on the 10th day of the cleanse and I still feel great! Good product!
Great product | (Posted on 9/5/10)
Review by Ron
I tried two other cleanses from a different vendor and I was not happy with either product. My bowel movements did not change or increase. The I tried Renew Life's Advanced Cleanse and I am very happy with the results. I will be using this cleanse in the future and I will schedule cleanses twice a year.

Review by Blink
I am an active and healthy 32 year old. I have always had "issues" with elimination - even when I was a baby! This summer, by digestive system came to a complete standstill. No bowel movements for 10 days! In desperation, I made a trip to my health food store and bought a bottle of Bowel Cleanse. It worked immediately, and I started researching on your website. I felt like I needed to do a more thorough cleanse, so I ordered Cleanse Smart and the H.O.P.E. set. I feel like I'm getting on track here, and I am now trying the Fiber 35 Plan. Other than the fact that I now go to the bathroom at least 2x a day, I had some weird skin issues - I was itching constantly for the first 2 weeks until I tried the sauna at my local gym. Also, the pm cleanse pills taste HORRIBLE! But, my stomach is so much flatter and I don't feel so bloated and toxic now. I am ready for a new way of life and a functioning digestive system. Thank you!
GREAT! | (Posted on 8/17/10)
Review by Kathleen
The cleanse helped to remove the yeast out of my system. I did not see any weight loss but I did feel a great dwal better and could "see' the daily changes "flush" away!
very happy with product | (Posted on 8/5/10)
Review by KR
This was my first cleansing product. As a busy mom, I did not want a product that involved a huge diet change other than trying to drink more water and eat a little healthier. The recommnended evening dose proved to be very helpful in eating less at night (take 2 caps 3 hours after eating) which meant I had to curb my night-time snacks. All my clothes fit looser and I lost a few pounds due to taking in less calories in the eve. I suffer with migraines, usually 3-5 days each menstrual cycle. I feel overall, having used this product for one month so far, that the last migraine I had was more managable (painkillers did the job) and I'm hoping if I use this product more regularly that I will continue to see a benefit with the migraines. I also felt much more energetic and seldom felt that worn-out exhausted feeling you get especially when you're a busy mother. I'm happy it isn't overly strong and that the ingrediants are not controversial. This is important to me.
So far, so good! | (Posted on 7/19/10)
Review by A Nik
I am very happy with CleanseSmart- and would highly recommend to anyone interested in first time cleansing- I have a high stress job with long hours and this has truely helped get my body back on track. The first week and a half I lost 4 lbs. and am on a "regular" cycle again with my movements- which for those who battle with constipation- is true freedom! I have two weeks to go until I go into my next phase of cleansing and I am sure I selected the right product to prepare my body with, it far exceeded any other products that I have tried in the past- thank you very much!

I'm a mommy of 2 (4 year old and a 5 month old)
after giving brith to my second child I worried of never losing the baby weight
I had so much excess water .....
My friend recommended me this product
and saw drastic changes just after 2 weeks ..... Now I can fit in my "before I had my second baby jeans" and even lost a dress size
Highly recommend this product to all these mommy's who want a head start to losing weight!
cleaned me right out | (Posted on 7/11/10)
Review by Jess
I was really happy with this cleanse. It was the first cleanse I ever did. I have had past problems with IBS and was a little worried that it could make my stomac upset, however it did not bother me one bit. I have had more regularity since the cleanse and it really helped with heartburn problems I was having. I also felt lighter and had more energy after 3 days of taking it. I have another friend who also can't say enough good things about this companies cleanses. I have to add I did take the fibre smart with it. This is the first time I really felt a huge difference taking any natural products. Thanks!!

Review by Jake
After 22 years of suffering with constipation from a junk food diet, I went to a health food store in Hurst, TX and was recommended Cleanse Smart. I drastically changed the way I ate and started cleansing immediately. At the end of 30 days I can say I was a new man in the sense of health. I had no more back pain, had much more energy than usual, felt clean inside, and no longer have an upset stomach. I can't believe I went through years of pain and suffering because I was simply constipated with junk. Thank you for your knowledge you have passed on to people like myself and for such great products.
Bowel Movements 2x a Day! | (Posted on 5/12/10)
Review by Lin
I am just amazed at how my body has responded to the Cleanse Smart program. Prior to using this product I was only having a bowel movement three times a week. Now, thanks to Renew Life, I am having a bowel movement 2-3 times a day! I have no bloating and feel 100% healthier. I look forward to trying more of your other products.
Great Product | (Posted on 5/12/10)
Review by Vickie
I just finished the 30 day Cleanse Smart program and I just wanted to say thank you! After the first 7 days on the cleanse, I realized that a recurrent cough that I had suffered from was completely gone! I also got relief from the life-long Candida problem that I had. Your product was the first I have used that actually worked. I am greatly looking forward to trying other Renew Life products. Thanks again for such a great product.

In the past, I have attempted to take fiber supplements and became bloated and full of gas. This did not happen with Cleanse Smart, and overall, I feel very good and confident that I'm better inside and out! Thanks so much!

Review by badpanda
I received results very quickly with the Cleanse Smart product and began to feel better right away. I first noticed that I did not feel so full in my abdomen; then I realized that my elimination was increased and more predictable. This was very helpful and comfortable. I have not been constipated at all during the cleanse.
Back to Normal | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by Yvonne
After talking with a lady at Edy's Health Supermarket, she recommended your CleanseSmart Advanced Cleanse program. In just 2 days I saw an amazing difference, and I have felt like a normal person again. I used to feel the inside of my body was always on fire, now I feel normal.
Thank you for a great product | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by Mary Kay
I lost 10 pounds during the cleanse. I became more regular than before. I feel great! My friend and I didn't see as graphic a waste as the internet shows, but we did experience some "different" fecal matter. They got back to normal during the last week. The most bowel movements we had in one day was 5. The least was 1 per day. We had no extreme food cravings. We only had meat twice during the cleanse and stuck to an organic diet about 90%. We look forward to our next phases of cleanse.

I wanted you to know that I just finished my 6 week initial cleanse with CleanseSmart. Not only did I lose 8 pounds, but my cholesterol went from 204 to 188 and my triglycerides went from 210 to 137. All without taking my cholesterol medicine. Thank you for a fine product.

CleanseSmart was the best cleansing program I have ever tried. It was easy to take; there was no abdominal pain or discomfort; no diarrhea or constipation. Free cleansing DVD was very helpful in understanding the cleansing process, as well as the toll free support line. Thank you!

Review by Danette
I have had such problems with my gastrointestinal system for the past five years. I was seeing different doctors who couldn't find anything wrong. I changed my diet which helped temporarily. Then I decided to give CleanseSmart a try. I feel like a new person. I cannot believe how well my body is functioning. I go to the bathroom regularly and have no gas problems.

Review by Chris M
CleanseSmart is an excellent product! At first I was skeptical, but two days in the cleanse, I felt empty, lighter and more agile. Two weeks later, I felt rejuvenated and vibrant! My digestion and elimination are much better than what I experienced before. I think CleanseSmart is great and well worth the price. I even lost four pounds with trying. Thanks!

Review by Patty M
Thank you CleanseSmart! I am now regular. I have lost 5 pounds and feel good. Before I was always full (even in the mornings), uncomfortable, bloated and burping. I rarely burp now and wake up with an appetite instead of a brick in my stomach.
What a feeling! | (Posted on 3/29/10)
Review by Jesse
No other cleanse makes me feel so completely cleansed and restored. Literally a few hours after i started Cleansesmart I felt it going to work, not just cleaning my intestines but sucking all the toxins out of my whole body. I will do this twice a year forever or until you come up with a better product

Review by H.B.
I loved CleanseSmart! I got the results of an easy to use cleanse of what would've taken a tough 4 week fast. A fast of only liquids. It's hard. The cleanse made my skin B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!
I feel wonderful! | (Posted on 2/9/10)

I feel wonderful after completing the CleanseSmart. This was the first cleanse I have ever done and I will continue to use Renew Life products. I felt more energy and even thought more clearly, thanks to the cleanse!

It's theater. There are these plays about merchants exchanging money for goods.
"Merchant of Venice" was one of the most famous ones.

Since you're going to the show of your choice, it makes sense. But I think the difference between yours and GP's points is GP is asked to go to trade shows of the employer's choice, not his own. The GP's kind of shows probably cater to the employer's customers, not necessarily the employee's potential contracts/clients. I.e. the company's field, not yours.
Maybe your company sells gas pumps, so you're asked to go to a convenience store show or a retail petroleum show. Perhaps you design embedded software. Th
>> a convenience store show
Man, people who go to those shows have the *worst* costumes.
Don't forget, since you're a contractor, all of your expenses for the trip are tax write offs.
You get the write off only if you itemize deductions. If your other "Schedule A" deductions ( charitable donations, medical expenses etc.) plus the trip expenses is smaller than the standard deduction, it is no use.
You get the write off only if you itemize deductions. If your other "Schedule A" deductions ( charitable donations, medical expenses etc.) plus the trip expenses is smaller than the standard deduction, it is no use.
If you are successful contractor, in a state that has income tax, you will be itemizing. State income taxes are deductible from Federal income tax. Above a certain income threshold, state income tax will exceed the standard deduction all by itself. In the 90's in California, this was about 60K. I don't know what is today. Since then, my good years have been way over and my bad years have been way under.
I'm not sure if the term "trade show" is intended to cover them also, but imo professional/practitioner conferences are better than trade shows for that kind of thing. For example, in the game industry, compare something like the Game Developer's Conference (developer-oriented) to E3 (a classic product-focused trade show).
I'm a digital design engineer. When I'm working, there's no time for trade shows.
When I'm not working, I go to any relevant trade show I can get into for free. They are important networking opportunities, they keep me a little more engaged, and they are mildly informative. I have not directly scored a job this way but I have from single vendor events that you generally find out about through trade shows.

The Internet will never substitute for getting your hands on a product and trying it out yourself. Some things can be shipped for demos, but for the show I have attended (Winter NAMM), it would be highly impractical and in some cases impossible to distribute demo units to everyone who wants to try them out.

In a good trade show, you can get a good demonstration of a new product, and sometimes you can even talk to one of the developers. (2) Networking. I often run into former colleagues at trade shows, which gives us opportunities to update one another and re-establish contacts.
My job is about software development, just call me a programmer. Last time I went to a trade show I learned that some 500 new acronyms had been invented. By now they must be out of fashion again because I never hear about them anymore. Sadly, in my area of expertise not a lot of groundbreaking stuff is happening. Sure, there are many who pretend that they have the new golden recipe that makes the new software easy to write, with 0% defects etc. In reality there's always some point where the dirty work has t

You mean like ITIL, Six-Sigma, etc...
Yep, it just depends on what you are doing. The "business" ones are particularly bad, especially on the management side of things. It is just a bunch of people in suits bragging about the things they've done that aren't all that impressive. Some of the free stuff they hand out is nice I guess.
There are two benefits for me for going to trade shows...
The two times I've been to trade shows, I ended up hooking up with booth girls. So, I agree, there are indeed two benefits in going to trade shows.
I have done a lot of the shows as a presenter/demo jock for a few software firms. Went to one smallish "local" trade show and one of the other attendees looked familiar. Comparing resumes, we had met up number of times when both of us had held several different positions with several different firms. The same players do a lot of musical chairs.
Why would anyone go to a trade show?* It's me, going out of my way to be advertised to. I can think of few things less enjoyable.
Conferences on the other hand, I love. A chance to talk with the people who actually made the stuff the trade shows are advertising â" That's incredibly valuable and well worth the time and effort.
*The most common excuse I see is that it's a free trip to Las Vegas or somewhere, which is why they hold them there and not Des Moines. But if that's the cost of a trip, I'm not sure it's worth it. (Then again I live in my favorite city. Traveling out of it is a step down.)
Frequently, counting the local farmer's market: dozens of times per year. Most Saturdays except during winter and early spring. Otherwise, rarely.
farmers market is not a trade show.
its a market that you buy goods from, not a show to see the most recent advances in agricultural technology / methods. You buy tomatoes, not see the latest bug resistant breed of tomato plants and the latest gadget to get the most out of your harvest without bruising while increasing productivity by 1.72%
I generally attend a couple of conferences a year, and try to present some of my work at least at one event (I'm out of academia so publishing is not a priority).
It's a great way of keeping in touch with the latest bits of research, but mostly it's about the networking.
And the fact that some conferences are organized in beautiful places does not hurt!
They are noisy, crowded, expensive, and all you end up with is a bag of bullshit brochures and cards.
You're going to the wrong ones.

I was on the IBM stand at CeBIT for four years in a row. That was a small nightmare - 8 day show, one day build and one day teardown. It was good for weight loss, and pretty much nothing else. Nowadays I attend EHI Live in the UK, and usually another show in London as the mood takes me. In these austere times, attendance at shows is 'self-funded' so one naturally goes only to shows that attract one's eye. The Erotica Show 2012 was in London a couple of weeks ago - unfortunately missed that due to my going to the 'Lone Worker Safety 2012' show.
My understanding is that, in everyday language, "frequent" means "often" but "regular" means a recurring event with equal spacing - says nothing about how often the event occurs. An event can be frequent but not regular, or regular but not frequent.
I would go to more if the prices were more reasonable and if the topic presented were closer to my reality of being a good programmer, but not one of the uber geeks of the Silicaon valley elite.

I haven't been to a real trade show since 1996.
That would boost the numbers, I am sure.

The trade shows that would really be relevant for me, as a network administrator, are mostly held on the coasts. So it would be a thousand-mile trip each way to the east coast or closer to twice that far to the left coast. A trip of that magnitude would blow my employer's travel budget for all employees combined for decades.
I do occasionally go to trade shows related to my employer's industry, e.g., held by OLC. Those can be an hour away or less.

New administrative regulations forbid attendance for anyone but the most senior (or politically appointed) scientists at anything which resembles a conference.

NCIC MA.32: A Phase III Randomized Trial of Metformin vs Placebo on Recurrence and Survival in Early Stage Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer
What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is better to receive the drug Metformin, with the usual treatment for breast cancer, or not. To do this, half of the subjects in this study will get Metformin, in addition to their usual treatment. The other half will receive a placebo (a substance that will look identical to the Metformin pills but will not contain any active ingredients) in addition to their usual treatment. The research is being done because previous laboratory work has shown that Metformin may decrease the growth of different types of cancer cells, including breast cancer cells. Research has also shown that Metformin lowers the level of insulin, a hormone found in the blood that can negatively affect breast cancer. No information is yet available on whether Metformin may help prevent breast cancer recurrence in patients like yourself who have had their breast cancer removed by surgery. We do not know whether the use of Metformin will improve the usual treatment for breast cancer.

Mariner tennis having biggest success in years
Angela Moniaga, a junior, is the first Mariner player to play at a local tennis club in Marauders' head coach Rich Mar's seven-year tenure. Having a solid No. 1 singles player helped the Marauders to an 8-8 regular season record, their best finish since 1998.
"She showed up and looked like she had played before," said Mar, who has been the varsity coach at Mariner for five years. "We usually get people just picking up the racket as ninth graders and they've never even hit the ball before. In the past we've relied on people who were athletic and tried to teach them tennis."
Moniaga started taking lessons at the Mill Creek Tennis Club after her freshman year. The Mariner No. 1 singles player isn't the only one to benefit from the extra time on the tennis court. Moniaga is able to share the information she learns, such as knowledge about footwork and where to aim when returning shots, with her Mariner teammates.
"I learn a lot at my tennis club. And what I learn in doubles, for example, I'm able to show my team," Moniaga said. "I can share with them, this is what I do, this is what I've been taught. If you're in this position you should do this."
Taking lessons has given Moniaga a significant advantage on the court this season. She is the lone Mariner player to join a club, while Mar says other schools have freshmen that have been playing for years.
Mar estimated that Wesco South 4A co-champion Jackson had "no less than 10 kids in their program that have significant club experience." He said that facing teams like the Timberwolves and Kamiak, who have several players playing tennis outside of the school program, makes the season an "uphill battle" for the Marauders.
"One thing is having a good No. 1 helps the team because it allows others to play at a slightly easier competition. In addition to that, she brings some of the experience she's gotten in her lessons, so she'll help others with their stroke," Mar said. "In the past we haven't had a solid No. 1, because up here in Washington with the weather they're only playing during the season or a little bit in the summer."
Moniaga is thrilled with the success Mariner has had this season, and hopes to continue that success in the postseason and beyond.
"Our season's going great," she said. "It's been 15 years since our girls won eight matches. I feel very proud of my teammates. We worked hard to get here. I feel like this year we have a better unity as a team. We bond, not only on the courts but outside of the courts. We hang out together off the courts. The unity is probably the strongest it's ever been."
The junior said her motivation for joining a club was to get better. Once she saw what she could do on the court, and how hard she could hit, it sparked a desire to continually get better.
"I like the competition. And I want to prove to myself that I can be just as good," Moniaga said. "I love tennis, so that motivates me to train and get better. After I saw what it was like (at the club) I thought, 'Wow. I really want to get serious with this.'"
Mar said there actually have been meetings among the state's tennis coaches to discuss grouping the schools into divisions, based on the average level of play of the school's players. The divisions would be an effort to make the leagues fairer for the schools that don't feature a lot of club players, such as Mariner.
"Tennis is a weird sport in that you match your best against their best in order," Mar said. "The talk at the coaches meeting has been about structuring the league so there are two or three divisions. That would put all the teams heavy on club players in a high division. Then there'd be a medium division and lower division. You would base it off last season's records.
"It seems like the lower teams are really in support of that. Obviously, we would do really well if we were pitted against teams that had similar groups of players."
Until that happens, Mariner has to rely on its players elevating their game, much like the Marauders have done this season. The Mariner tennis players say this year is unlike any in the past, with the team having a strong bond both on and off the court.
"I think it's the bond with our team this year. Everyone knows each other. Everyone is really friendly," said senior co-captain Christina Han.
Tia Nguyen, a senior on the team this season, wasn't planning on playing this year. But when word broke out that she didn't think she was coming back to the team this year, the Marauders came after her and talked her into returning.
And Nguyen is glad she did.
"Of the four years I've been playing tennis this has been the best," Nguyen said. "At first I wasn't going to play for my senior year. I thought I lost touch with it. But just the fact that I can play for fun. My love for it came back. A lot of girls talked to me (about coming back). Actually, the whole team found out. I don't know how that happened. Even the coach, Mr. Mar, said, 'Hey, I heard about this. Why is this happening?'"
Cristal Rangel Pena, Han's No. 1 doubles partner, said she's really enjoyed her senior year on the team. The duo, who say they try to have a positive attitude on the court no matter what, plan to live together at the University of Washington next year where they hope to continue to play tennis together after high school.
"My partner and I, on every hit, we either say, 'Good job' or 'Nice try.' We're still supportive of one another," Rangel Pena said. "We're all friends."
Last year Rangel Pena and Han got to the divisional tournament but lost in the first round. Moniaga placed fourth at the district tournament. Everyone's hoping to improve their finish this season.
But, most of all, the Marauders players just want to continue to have fun.
"Right now, I think my goal is just to at least tie last year's record in districts," Moniaga said. "Of course, I want to do better. To place third against these great Wesco players would be great. They're just so tough to beat. But I've put in a lot of work and I'll try my best. I'm just really excited. Every year I just want to get better and better. And help out my teammates. I love them and that's what makes me motivated to get better.
"I'm proud of my teammates and I'm proud to represent Mariner. I'm looking forward to the end of this season, and next year's."
