All nonsense. No time to write now - didn't read other posts today about
colons, but I'll quickly put in my two cents here - colon walls shed and
rebuild every day. Stuff doesn't cling, or if it does, it's out of there
soon. No GI, no colon cancer specialist, no colonic hydrotherapist, no
patient of any bowel related disorder who has to have frequent
monitoring of thier colon, no one I have ever talked to, in all my years
in this field, has ever said that they've seen "ancient fecal matter" or
anything else "clinging" to the wall of the intestine. I hope that's not
what's been posted here. There are plenty of bowel problems, that's for
sure, and diet is hugely important. But it's more complex than the
supplement companies and health-ffod-store "colon books" would like you
believe.
Love Liza
