Any Gastroenterology majors out there? Is colon cleansing a good or bad idea?

Question

I keep hearing that the colon stores 'plaque' and old fecal matter, toxins etc. on the intestinal walls that can stay there for years. Is it true? Is it a good idea to do a colon cleanse, water or juice fast or enema to clean it out? Please be descriptive and don't just say yes or no. Thanks for your help!

I've never been so grateful for an answer before. Thank you SO much to all the Doctors that contributed and saved me from an unpleasant and costly experience! I can't choose a best answer because all three of you gave comprehensive answers. I guess I'll just put it to a vote and give you all thumbs up! Thanks again!

Answer 1

It is really not a pleasant thing at first, but highly addictive!!! You’ll feel really great, especially after the 3rd one (it goes in series, most of the time) It feels like you can fly and you can loose anything from 2 kg straight (imagine how much we have $%^^& inside) !!! if you have a good specialist you wont experience any discomfort but do make sure you follow the instruction for the preparation for your fist session, its really important. It might sound strange but even breathing will be so easy, its amazing what it can do for your body.

And, yes all that #$%#$%^ accumulates over the years in your colon blocking it and making your physiological functioning difficult, slowly poisoning you. The best option is to do it regularly every 3 to 6 months, for “cleaner” results..

If you wish to do it yourself, start by adding a little of lemon juice to about 2 Lts of lukewarm-hot water, be careful, it may cause you to feel nauseous and painful but its all part of initiation. Do not expect all the 2Lt to work into your system on the first time, but be persistent… best idea, rather seek a specialist and follow the doctor’s instruction, this will give you better results and less discomfort.

Colon cleanses are generally more important for older people (since a lot more junk has accumulated in the colon). You're still young, so it doesn't have that much of a point to being done. From experience I have found the following matter with acne. #1 Apply lavendar oil to the acne. It does a better job than anything you'll buy in the drugstore. Hydrogen peroxide can work as well, but it's a bit more difficult to use correctly. #2 Diet wise, cutting out sugar (and artificial sweeteners) makes a huge huge difference, this was what did the trick for me. Greasy fatty fried foods also contribute to acne but not as much. Basically, the more vegatables you eat (like brocolli) and the less junk you have, the more acne drops. #3 No hair on face. I didn't know why this worked till I talked to a doctor about it, but basically the hair gets inside the skin just from rubbing against it and causes acne to form. #4 If you have chronic acne problems for a long time, it may mean its a sign you have a problem inside your body that hasnt been adressed. A good friend of mine had awful acne on his nose for years that never went away, and one day we tested him for sinusitus (which he had, pretty badly). After a few months, when the sinus's were cleared out, the acne went away, and has not returned. Hope that helps! *and ignore everything kalos says :P

Answer 4

The colon and small intestines are lined with living tissue, and fecal material does not adhere to the lining as if the colon were a drainpipe. (This is the example they use on several of those infomercials!) Ask any surgeon who does intestinal work. Ask any gastroenterologist who does colonoscopies. Toxins are removed by the kidneys and the liver, and only to a small degree by the colon.

Most of the effective medicines we take have been developed in the 20th century. Before that, much of what physicians had to offer were ineffictive nostrums plus enemas and laxatives. Another name for the latter was physics, sometimes spelled "physicks." Indeed, a person who administered physics was called, you guessed it, a physician.

We've come a long way since then, but old ideas die hard. Treat your colon to a diet rich in cereals, fruits and vegetables, a glass of prune juice whenever, and you won't need any harsh laxatives or enemas. It's healthier, cheaper, and definitely more natural. The benefit you get from a colon cleansing is psychological, not physiological.

Answer 5

About 120 years ago, this was a theory that gained some popularity. You may not be shocked to find that medicine has learned a bit since then. It's completely untrue, but these bits of quackery refuse to die. As a matter of fact, as a general rule of thumb, if you see the words "cleansing" or "toxins" in any quasi-medical context, it's almost certainly time to run in the opposite direction, with a firm grasp on your wallet.
When you hit age 50, it's about time to start having colon cancer screening exams, and in preparation for the colonoscopy, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a night on the toilet after drinking an ocean of GoLytley, a perversely named solution if ever there was one. This is done not for any curative powers but simply for purposes of better visualization. Until then, you can save your rear some trouble.

Answer 6

If you're having a colonoscopy tomorrow, colon cleansing is essential. Otherwise, it's not even a good idea.

I've seen thousands of colons, both inside and out, and they do NOT store plaque or anything else.

If you feel strongly about maintaining a healthy colon, eat more fiber. That WILL keep your colon clean, and may help prevent diverticulosis (formation of little pouches in the wall of the colon).

If you start messing with colonics and cleansing solutions, you're likely to upset your electrolyte balance and/or dehydrate yourself. The colonoscopy prep kits are designed to prevent that, but we still see plenty of people who come in for their test dehydrated.
