I hope interest in this subject wanes quickly - I think it's a monumental waste of money. I've seen infomercials on the same subject and they are rather laughable, especially the photos of disected colons. But, as always, to each his own. I'll stick with my Fiber One and salads.

Honeybunch, ITA!! If you're looking for colon blow, Fiber One is the way to go :+
Random colon cleansing thoughts:
It seems to me that enemas aka colon cleansings are basically just a form of purging. Of course they make people feel lighter and lose weight - in my heavy eating disorder phase I did this to myself all the time, along with forced vomiting.
DH asked me once what the difference was between colon cleansing and an enema and I told him "about 300 bucks."
Of course colon cleansing is gussied up with fancy names and dubious claims because really, would anyone pay big bucks for a product that said, "For $500, we'll help you take a poo!" If they were that blunt I think alot of us would think, heck, I can do that myself for FREE.
I once had a friend who swore by them. She told me the enema tech (for lack of better description) discovered a peanut in her colon and claimed it had been in there since 1973. I had this image of the tech in the back of her clinic, carbon dating the reluctant peanut. Let's get real.
People of course are free to do what they want, of course, which is why I didn't post my thoughts in the original thread, except to ask if Chiropractors were allowed to prescribe medicine AT ALL. Here though, I feel free to say that I think it's just some more health and fitness hoo-haa. Seems to be alot of that these days.

Yup, my first instinct was that this was another "magic bullet" promising weight loss and a "flat stomach" without any work. Unless you count walking to and from the comode several times a day a "workout!"

Actually, colon cleansing is imperative to a healthy body. Many people would be shocked about what might be crawling or growing in their colon. However, I think plain old psyllium would do the trick. (which is probably in fiber one). This can be bought at health food stores. I am sure there are a lot of gimmicks, which can make one leary. But, I would not diss it until you try it. You might be shocked about what your intestines are holding. Or, you can just agree to disagree .
Shelley, didn't you know that americans have national colon cleansing week???? We are all doing it!! Just kidding! You are too funny!

Nothing in these threads makes you want to try it??? Wow! Increased energy alone makes me want to try it! You clean your body on the outside, right? Then why not clean the inside? That stuff growing in one's intestines can cause CANCER, ARTHRITIS, CYSTS, ETC. I would check out www.knowthecause.com. Even if you are leary, please look at this site. It makes sense!

Never mind.
You don't have to stick anything anywhere . You can drink stuff through your mouth to clean your intestines.
