As far as I know, it's complete nonsense. The cells that line the colon
are sloughed off and replaced every three days, so what would anything
stick to? It's funny that there is this whole body of people who believe
in the impacted colon, and then there's this whole other body of people
(nurses and doctors) who perform colonoscopies and sigmoidoscopies, many
of whom have seen the insides of hundreds of aged colons and have never
seen the alleged impaction. These people know that after a day of
fasting and a pint of magnesium citrate the colon is completely cleaned
out and residue free. You just need to figure out how to get the people
from the first group to talk to the people in the second group.
I recently got to sit in on the sigmoidoscopy of a middle-aged family
member and see the clean mucosa for myself. Colonic irrigation is a huge
commercial phenomenon all based on a scam, and it's not as if colonics
or even enemas are without risk. You can puncture and you can introduce
pathogens.
