<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hey there. This is not intestinal suicide. It's a bit hard on your kidneys and if you have bad kidneys I would not suggest it. However, it does do the system allot of good , especialy if only done when neccessary... try not to do it more than once a month. Personally I have used baking soda and water to relieve constipation (not hte major dose your taking but the same idea). I was told it is not harmful to a 'normal' system.
