I once heard a pathologist say in an infomercial that after conducting lots of autopsies, he discovered that people’s colons were lined with a crust of digested food that had gotten stuck to the colon over the years. He said that this crust had adhered to the colon wall and was therefore not moving out of the digestive system.

He decided to do something about it since many doctors do not address this problem. So he developed various products (forgot name) to cleanse the digestive tract.

Because it was an informercial, I was a bit suspicious. However, I know that doctors recommend vegetables & 64 ounces of water a day and many of us do not eat/drink that much. So, this guy might have a point. By the way, he was not talking about finding recently eaten food in the colon. This is a slow gradual accumulation over many years.

This crust, which is an accumulation of toxins, may explain colon cancer.

Has anyone tried colon cleansing or detoxification? Did you feel better?

I was interested in doing colonix to cleanse my system and read this on the colonix site:
—-

Internal cleansing/detoxification is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. A fetus or newborn baby should not be exposed to the toxins eliminated from the mother’s body while cleansing. The mother should wait until her baby is weaned completely.

Now I can understand why it would be a bad idea for someone pregnant but why for someone breastfeeding. I currently nurse my 3 month old and would like to continue until he is 1 years old.
I thought the cleanse just cleans out your colon and Im not sure waht other "toxins" would be coming out of my body (are they saying through my milk???). If anyone has some insight, I would appreciate it.

I was recently told that I was full of crap! I pondered this question for a moment or two, then headed straight to you, the insightful ones.

So how is one to know if they are truly in need of a cleansing, or as what a colonic preveyor may refer to as detoxification.

Now, if my schooling taught me anything, it was that the colon, also called the large intestine follows the small intestine and comprises the end of the gastrointestinal tract. Now, we learned that most nutrients from food are absorbed in the small intestine. This would entail the colon to absorb water and salts from the stool while it pushes it along through the rectum. Correct?
Wouldn’t laxatives work just the same? They promote bowel movements, have been around for atleast 3892 Years!
Colon cleansing refers to a more invasive procedure of water and hoses stuck you-know-where. It’s not clear when this practice started.

It’s not poo in the toilet that ponders my couriosity, it’s the poo in me!

I am on a 7 day water fast. If I were to take dietary supplements (such as Hydroxy cut) and I know about it being recalled… that’s not my point. I was just curious if it would disturb the fasting process, such as the detoxification.

Any advice on this would be great
Thanks.

I’ve been seeing all these detoxification teas at glass shops and such and wondered to myself, Do they have to do what they advertise? Sure they say money back guaranteed, but aren’t you the one trying to fraud the government? And if it doesn’t work they never did anything illegal. Do they work yay or nay?

My best friend is an alcoholic. I accompanied him to a alcohol rehab last Wednesday because I finally convinced him to get some help. The doctor and the counselor said that he has to undergo a detoxification first. What is detoxification? Is it really necessary? My best friend is asking me these questions and I don’t know what to answer.
