I was talking to a co-worker after hearing a commercial for one of the "colon cleansing products"on the XM radio.  We were wondering if these were scams, if they were safe to use, and if they would really work.  We were talking about the  rumor that has gone around: "John Wayne had about 40 something lbs in him when he died." If that was real, Damn it seems like it would be better to get that packed stuff out.

Has anyone here tried one of these, and are you willing to admit you tried it?

I remember getting a case of the squirts one time, and losing a ton of belly weight, so much my pants were loose in the waist. When I came back to work, everyone asked if I'd tried one of the above mentioned products, since my gut was noticeably flatter. So, if it actually works like this, I could understand. I felt a ton better, and I had energy too. It was soon fouled with burgers, and other stuff that's bad for you...........

Everyone responds differently for different food items.  Your body produces enzymes that breaks the food down.  If you don't have the enzyme, such as lactose intolerance, eating that forbidden fruit (food) can have explosive results.  Ask someone who knows.

The radio commercials actually understate the case.  Most people have about 80-100 lbs stuck to the walls of there their intestines like spackle or paste.

Scam.

Just buy some generic metamucil if you don't have enough fiber in your diet.

If there really was "stuff stuck to your intestinal walls like spackle" you would be in a lot of pain, very sick, and eventually die without medical treatment. Otherwise, your GI tract constantly engages in peristalis (muscle contractions to keep everything moving) and secretes mucus and various digestive substances from it's walls so things aren't sticking to them.

There is a condition called diverticulitis where you can get a bump or pocket on the sides of your GI tract where food/feces can get stuck, and that can cause pain and illness. It's controled through having a high-fiber diet, and avoiding foods with seeds or nuts that can pass through the GI tract whole and further irritate the diverticuli (the pockets). If they're bad enough, they get corrected with surgery.

The colon cleanse products are generaly just a huge overdose of psyllium fiber or similar products. This irritates the bowel, and the psyllium and extra mucus your bowel makes turns brown from bile and the normal digestive products, and then you get this huge slimy fiber-gel casting of your colon, and people think the fiber they ate from the cleaning product is the junk that it cleaned out.

Simply adding more fiber to your regular diet will help more than an occasional attempt to purge past neglect. A bowl of High Fiber Bran Cereal per day is a good start. Then work in something like MODERATE amounts of Psyllium Husk. Don't try too much at once. If you do, take video!

They tell you to quit eating and drink their magic juice for a couple of days. Eventually you crap out a horrid ass demon.  You think to yourself 'I didn't eat anything where did this ass demon come from??!?!?? This stuff really works!'

When really the magic juice was full of clay and psyllium which is what the ass demon is made of, nothing that was 'stuck to your colon walls like spackle or paste.'

It is bullshit for the gullible.  It is a pretty good guideline if someome talks to you about 'toxins' or any kind of ass cleaner that they are full of shit and retarded.

I did a body detox at the recommendation of my doc. Went through another Doc that specializes in war veteran detox and health. The first 2 days I shit duraflame logs. Big poop and lots of it. Lost some unneeded weight and felt better after the 30 day detox.

edit: If you are near Kalamazoo, Mich...I would be happy to give you her info. Send me a PM.
One of the issues they have found is that some folks serving in the desert are getting parasites in their body.  The VA never told me that but an independent study by Docs and scientists did. Her son served overseas, had issues, & detoxed too.

Here is the simple answer......
Most of the cleansing product that you consume with these kits is a combination of bentonite and abrasive fillers like ground up corn cob husks.  When you mix this stuff with water and drink it, it solidifies in your intestines and forms a "rope" like bowel movement.  
The scam part is they try to convince you that this "rope" was actually originally in your intestines....which it was not.
Now that aside........
As this rope travels through your small and large intestines, the "rope" brings out with it a lot of God awful rancid slime that has been in the pockets of your small intestine thereby providing a good and needed cleansing of your system.
Final answer........What you think is happening is a scam......but what is also taking place is very beneficial.
Do it.

There is also a prescription that the Dr gives when you get a colonoscopy that will clear any and everything out.

Yep, even a few pounds of something "stuck" would be a bowel obstruction and you'd be getting hospitalized with pains/fever pretty quickly.

It's complete bullshit.

A really big bowel movment and complete evacuation of your bowels *might" be beneficial because it could cause high turnover in your intestinal flora, and it could come back at a better balance of bacteria that improves your GI function. However, there's just as much chance that you could get more of the less desireable bacteria, and get constipated etc...

Just eat lots of fruit/vegetables, whole grains/bran, or take a big heaping spoonful of psyllium powder every day, and some yogurt to up the number of good bugs in your gut.

That or a bottle of Magnesium Citrate, or as I like to call it "Shitrate".   It's in the same spot in the store where they keep the other laxatives.
