I've seen those late night infomercials, it's nothing a can of strong chili can't clear up. After chili I'll have a 45-minute bowel movement, that'll keep me nice and cleansed.

You shouldn't be "colon cleansing" at all. Ever!
Worthless quackery. There is NO scientific evidence to support ANY need to "cleanse" your colon. Your colon cleanses itself, and you DO NOT get any "impacted" fecal material in there AT ALL. It is all a MYTH.

As far as "detoxing" goes, what nonsense. Your body "detoxes" itself constantly. Drinking lots of water will do NOTHING to speed the process, despite what some fools believe. Funky herbal preparations will do nothing special either.
Here's the plan:
1. You need to decide what "toxin" (or toxins) you want to get rid of.
2. Have a laboratory MEASURE how much of this "toxin" you have now.
3. Try the "detox".
4. Get re-measured for the "toxin"
I can safely predict NO difference. The whole concept of "toxins" and "detoxing" is ridiculous nonsense. Save your money.
