Thanks for the Info!!!  I never read the original posts and just with
what I saw.  Thanks makes sense now that it was about a purgative.

Well I just read all the others Posts pretty quickly and what I'm
interested in why would I need it really unless I can't take a dump or
something?  Is it really good at getting crap and junk out of my system
and/or bowels that's just sitting in there I'm unaware of or something?
I just really want to know when and why to use it in yours and other
opinions.  For example, Kirt said:

I wonder why he was using it everyday, does it taste good or something?
He explained what it can be used for but I'd like more details if you or
anyone else has any about it properties, uses, and experiences - or even
just what you're heard on the grapevine so to speak - Thanks!!! - :)!!!
