A question about bowel health....

[Guest guest]

I'm trying to resolve a conflict in my mind, and it occurs to me that the

excellent minds in this

group might have the answers....

When we talk about colon cleanses, I keep hearing or reading about all the gunk

that is impacted

into the colon, causing all kinds of health problems. There's even a guy on

late-night TV around

here selling " The Almighty Cleanse " who shows pictures of what this stuff

impacting the colon

looks like, and he claims that Wayne's autopsy showed he had 40 pounds of

gunk in his colon.

Okay, the logic problem I have here is, I had a colonoscopy done last year, and

I was awake and

watching the monitor with the doctor. I had, of course, done the epsom salt

thing the night

before to clean things out. I didn't see any gunk stuck to the lining of my

colon.

Is it really possible that I have this rubber tire stuff further up my in my

intestinal system,

and that none of it is in the lower part that can be viewed by colonoscopy?

I'm working with a Naturopath right now, and she has recommended that I take a

product called

OxyCleanse for a while. I'm happy to do that. It just defies logic to me that

the bottom of my

colon can be cleaned out so quickly with just that drink the doctor had me take

the night before

the colonoscopy, but the stuff further upstream hasn't been moved by the same

stuff.....

BTW, I have pretty regular bowel movements, once or twice a day. They are light

brown in color,

do not float, are not hard to expel, and seem to have decent " girth. "

The reason I'm working with the Naturopath is to get rid of about 80 pounds of

extra weight and

get my blood pressure down with natural means. I've tried adding Magnesium and

Calcium per Dr.

Pressman, but I have been unsuccessful on my own, so I thought I'd enlist the

aid of a pro....

Thanks for any input anybody would care to share....
