I was recently told that I was full of crap! I pondered this question for a moment or two, then headed straight to you, the insightful ones.
So how is one to know if they are truly in need of a cleansing, or as what a colonic preveyor may refer to as detoxification.
Now, if my schooling taught me anything, it was that the colon, also called the large intestine follows the small intestine and comprises the end of the gastrointestinal tract. Now, we learned that most nutrients from food are absorbed in the small intestine. This would entail the colon to absorb water and salts from the stool while it pushes it along through the rectum. Correct?
Wouldn't laxatives work just the same? They promote bowel movements, have been around for atleast 3892 Years!
Colon cleansing refers to a more invasive procedure of water and hoses stuck you-know-where. It's not clear when this practice started.
It's not poo in the toilet that ponders my couriosity, it's the poo in me!
