Did mine the night b4 my colonoscopy. I would prefer to do them off cycle because a lot of the regiments have you on liquid diet etc for a day or so.

What are you using for this might I ask??

 

[HOTROCKS]

When your ready to do a fast .
Not a totaly fast ,but maybe a juice.
I would say start the night before when you are off for a day or so.
Epsom Salts

never

i think it's all marketing hype and scare tactics. 1 tablespoon of metmucil before bed every night will keep you normal.

Tom is correct, and I'll tell you why. If I didn't honestly know, I'd think he's just blowing smoke up our asses.

I had a procedure done very similar to a colonoscopy done yesturday...I asked him 2 things at the end. One was, is the myth true that everyone has about 5 pounds of meat in their intest. He said yes that's actually true. I asked him can you recommend a colon cleanser? He said, they're nothing but a gimmic and dont work at all...this is from an actual Dr now.
So, dont waste your money on them, if you need one done, the Dr will give you one that will do it.

Do you believe "everything" a doctor says ?
I'd hope not !
It you ask an orthopedic doc about chiropractics he will tell you that they are quacks.
Ask a doctor something he/she doesn’t know about , especially something holistic , he will answer as he did you .
I would have asked him how he knows that to be true .

....
How does he not know what works to clean someone out, when that's all he deals with? Peoples insides from the rear up.
That's fine, don't believe it, I'll save my money.
I believe him because I trust him, another reason why he is my Dr. My mother refered me to him, and my actual Dr(for about 10 years or more refered me to him)



@Tom, haha, you're right, and hey, it's free too! To gimmic there.
Just wondering, how did you find out about them not working?

i think colon cleanses are a load of crap. just keep fiber intake at a reasonable rate.

 

[617ricky]

They're a total load of shit. The ones that have the pictures of the stuff that "comes out of you" - not true at all. I read that the only real way that someone would have 20 lbs of "undigested fecal matter" in them, was if they had something wrong with their digestive system, or if they were an opiate addict who barely shit.. other than that, those infomercials for colon cleansing are BS.

Finally some people with just a tad bit of healthy critical thinking. I always love it when people say things like, "do you actually believe what your doctor says", etc. Ya, how ridiculous to believe a professional who has spent the greater part of their adult life and a couple hundred thousand dollars to studying the human body and practicing their knowledge ~60 hrs a week. Much better to take the word of some quack who's read a few internet articles, taken an online class by other quacks, or someone who just has a gross misunderstanding of the human body.

The world would be such a better place if people were forced at some point in their lives to take some time to learn about their own physiology. You wouldn't see late night commercials about wonder pill X or Y, nor would you see illegitimate health practitioners hawking their snake oil to the masses online.

Unfortunately it always seems BB'ers are looking for the miracle edge, the latest and greatest, and are typically the first to fall victim to clever marketing or too good to be true scenario. Sad really, I see it all the time.

And yes most chiropractors are full of shit.

I'm assuming you meant cleanse, and what exactly is a "cleanse"? What is it that is dirty?

that might be the best post ive seen on this board. That type of thinking can apply to alot of things actually. I think alot of people just honestly LIKE being difficult or arguing with others

 

[FordTurboDiesel]

Weren't epsom salts used more for things like Liver cleanses?

Ive used a Dr. Natura cleanse before and you do get some nasty shit out of you, however, up until a couple years ago I was on a strict TacoBell and BK diet. (lifestyle change)
I have more or less changed my stance that they are suitable for an application like I was in. I was just eating shit for years and years and years....Maybe it was good to do...maybe it wasn't. I saw some shit though (pun intended). LOL

 

[Pekkerwood]

I certainly was "cleansed" in the lower colon. I had not one ounce of "undigested" anything. I saw the video monitor whilst the procedure was taking place. Now, I did not have the additional procedure where they go in from the other end, but one of my business associates did and said it was the same deal, clean as a whistle.

I do not claim to be an expert on aholes although used to read elitefitness website back in the day.

Very good article. Thanks for posting that Tom. I believe it depends on how you eat. Just keep the fiber high and eat food with high nutritional value. Drink lots of water. Works for me. I poop like a cheeekin the size of an elephant.
