Is really a benefit to health? Do you really carry around pounds of undigested food in your gut? Are any of the pills legit, or do you have to get hooked up to a machine? Do any (mainstream) doctors recommend it? What’s the deal?

It’s an excellent way to make money off stupid people. Way back in the snake oil days, they sold elixers that would rid your body of all sorts of nasty things and make you feel wonderful! It was mostly epsom salts, a laxative. It did make you feel good–emptier and lighter, anyway. And yes, you’d be surprised at all the stuff that comes out if you take a laxative. But that’s stuff that shouldn’t have come out yet. It takes several hours for food to wend its way through your digestive tract, so of course you’re going to have pounds of food in there in the process of being digested. Pretty much all the time. That’s normal. Colon cleansing is a snake oil deal. Turn your back on it.
The fact is most of us eat unhealthy foods. We consume fast foods, buy foods with chemical additives and even our fruit and veggies are grown in soil that is depleted of nutrients. Added to that, we drink far to much coffee and sugary sodas. It’s no wonder our body could do with some help to get rid of all this junk.
You don’t have to rush out and buy colon cleansers. Go on a fruit fast once a week or better still, eat fresh fruit every morning until noon. Organic fruit if possible. Fruit flushes out the toxins that have built up in your system because of the bad food and drink habits we seem to have.
I think the colon cleanse is a series of drinks and possibly pills you take to cleanse your colon. I have heard it is very good for you and I have heard its not researched enough and not necessary. People should just watch what they eat instead of trying to repel what they eat!
i saw some paid program early in the morning about the colon cleansing i honestly think its a bunch of crap
