Colon Cleanse?

**MuleSkinner** · 10-26-2007, 01:32 PM

So just bought the herbs/supplements for a month long colon cleanse. Anyone ever done one of these? Little freaked out/fascinated at the same time.

You fucking hipster.

Whats next? Tight pants and an upper colonic?

**FreakofSnow** · 10-26-2007, 01:35 PM

My colon was just cleansed only moments go, not by herbal means, but by my mother in laws bean/veggie crockpot mix. That sucker cleaned me out.

Good luck and stay close to a toilet.

Happy Pooping!

why is poo so in?

MS, how much research have you done? I was fascinated for a while too, but when I spoke to a couple traditional doctors they made the point that by stripping all the plaque from the walls of your intestine you are making yourself extremely vulnerable to infections and disease.

We build up the plaque over the decades and it makes us resilient to ward off any light disturbance that could be regularly found in something as simple as a not fully washed piece of lettuce.

When it came down to it for me personally, the risks outweighed the potential benefits. Just make sure you go into this fully aware of the benefits and risks. My $.02.....

Appreciate the advice - I have done a little research and after that - voted for a pretty mild cleanse and am taking the probotics that put the good bacteria back. I have had a few friends who did this one with good results. We shall see -

Ugh. Are you kidding me?

Ever had a colonoscopy? They give you this stuff called GoLytely (can't stop thinking of Breakfast at Tiffany's) that does the trick in 8 hours. No need to do anything for a month unless you are *REALLY* fascinated by the shits.

I do the "Master Cleanser". I just finished one actually. I was planning on doing it for 14days but once the Red Sox made it to the world series, I was truthful with myself and quit so I could get bombed during the games.

That's what being a true Master is all about.

Why not just drink lots of water and get on a balanced diet with plenty of fiber if you want. The cleanse is really just a bunch of super strong diuretics, just like weight loss pills. They are a scam unless you just really like wiping you ass that much.

It's hard to meet that kind of satisfaction, though.

It's okay to do once in a while (maybe only once a year), but beyond that, can be very unhealthy. As someone mentioned above, you can strip your body of needed minerals, mainly the potassium around the heart, leaving you susceptible to many infections. I actually know someone who died from strep throat (the strep travelled to her heart), because she did too many colon cleanses, and so didn't have the needed defenses. True story. People in LA are overly obsessed with their colon, being thin, and being toxin free.

But you'll be amazed at how sparkly bright your eyes are, after your first cleanse.

Taking healthy-trendy shit inducing herbal drugs strips potassium from around the heart?

Honest, I'm new to this shit.

Poo is the new black.

But... I think I want to.

**_SouthLake_** · 10-26-2007, 02:37 PM

I have to say that I am impressed there have been 18 replies...in one hour...about the topic of poop. Poop is a funny word.

Death due to self induced "healthy" diarrhea

Shitty material for a tombstone.

I just want to know when and why the front-bum was superseded by poo.

I did Colon Blow once - the plaque stayed, but the Psyllium Husks scoured a bunch of shit (sorry) out. I literally felt lighter. I noticed no difference in how I felt, so pretty much consider it a waste of money.
