We’ve all seen the infomercials on the subject of colon cleansing. Yes, I have been awake at 2am learning how disgusting my colon is and how I need to clean it. I always figured a good swig of Jack Daniels would do the trick, but apparently not. I’ve met a few people that I assumed needed a good colon cleanse, but all joking aside, does it really work? The low down? I don’t know. Many sites, including healthynewage.com claim this is the way to get your body back into good working order. You see the picture below, right? Would this not scare the living day lights out of you if you looked into your toilet and saw this floating around? It would me. But the owner of the site says, “But what I saw–although far more gross than the picture below–made me feel…joyous.” I am afraid to ask how much more gross his mucoid plaque was- I know I’d be running to the emergency room, afraid I had just passed my large intestines. I know I’m supposed to eat healthy, exercise, stay stress free, but as for cleansing my colon? To be honest- I’m not quite sure. If I were to do it, I would definitely ask my doctor first- just to make sure I wasn’t going to damage anything on the inside that I really need. Have any of you considered alternative healing when it comes to ridding your body of toxins? If so, what has your experience been? Good, or bad? I’m actually very curious about the subject. I’ve always been told I was full of crap- maybe I really am.
