Have you had a colon cleansing, lately?!


Question: How often should this be done?


Answers: How often should this be done?

colons do NOT need to be cleansed like some websites or "doctors" claim. theres no need to take pills 6 times a day just to poop out the "garbage."

if you really want to keep your insides clean, eat the proper amount of fruits and vegetables daily. keep away from red meat and only eat white lean meat, eat lots of fiber, and the body will cleanse itself out.

"There have been real, honest-to-goodness studies on colon cleansing in recent years, he said, but they all have focused on the potential harm: abscesses caused by too much water, rectal perforation and electrolyte imbalance. All that water, usually tens of gallons, washes out the electrolytes that the colon was built to absorb. The water also washes away beneficial bacteria needed for digestion, and not magically only harmful bacteria, as the proponents claim."

I have heard that it can be unhealthy if done to often, or perhaps even at all! But I have also heard that it can make you feel better as far as just living goes.

never

i need one. i dont know how often they should be dont but try 2 every year maybe

nonsense...bowl doesn't need cleaning as long as your bowls are normal.....

No, but I have been wondering about this. I heard you lose some weight when this is done. I heard you can buy pills to do this too.

NOPE

Say What A colon cleansing,, Pure and simple. from top to toe !!!!

your colon does eactly what it is intended for. the only time someone should cleanse their colon is before major surgery or to unblock constipation.

some claim they feel better after a cleansing but it is merely due to not eating right and drinking nothing but fluids so once you begin to eat again...so basically you make yourself feel bad in the duration of cleansing (sort of like fasting), however, your merely purging your intestines which can not only be very painful, but dangerous as well. the other issue is you can acquire a very bad yeast infection because when you cleanse, you also remove the benefitial bacterias that line the inestinal walls. you can set yourself up for chrons, gastrointeritis, diverticulitis and even cancer if done to often. you can also cause a blockage of bile duct stones or gallstones which may require surgery.

it's really a waste.

pun intended.

no

If you have bowel cancer in the family, then you should have one done either every year or every second year. For other people, yes you should have one done every 5 years, mainly because some people who develop bowel cancer have usually had the tumour on their bowel with out even knowing it, until it was too late.
