Colon cleansing….is it worth it, and if so, what kind should I buy?
I’ve seen those infomercials for colon cleansing where they claim if you use the products, ropes of built-up "gunk" coating the insides of your colon will come out.
My first question is, do any of these actually work or it is just a bunch of propaganda?
My second question is, if this does work, which one would you all suggest is the best product?
Thanks for you help!!!

You should really read this article on quackwatch.org: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/gastro.html
That site is kind of like the medical version of snopes.com. The article talks about the whole "colon cleansing" fad. The general conclusion seems to be that colon cleansing is unnecessary, and may or may not be harmful.
If you think about it, after millions of years of evolution, it wouldn’t make sense that your colon couldn’t take care of cleaning itself. Colon cleansing, though promoted by "natural health" types, is a very unnatural thing to do.
It’s been proven through quite a few independent studies to be nothing more than quackery.
I would not use that particular product specifically. There is a lot of truth to what they are saying though. Most of the fiber that would have been in our food has been processed out of it. I would though first try and eating more fiber first. And increasing the amount of water you drink. It helps the body process the fiber you eat. There are products that claim to cleanse your colon, but they have not always been proven to be effective. There are better products available that are often never even heard about on television or radio. I would try to find a product that is natural in your health food store first.
don’t do any colon cleansing,i know someone who tried it and that person was crapping blood.
Quackery! As someone who has had a colonoscopy, and I’ve seen images of the inside of my colon, it’s pretty smooth skin in there. Yes, you have to take laxatives for a couple of days before, but there’s no coating of the skin.
