There was an episode of Penn & Tellers BS which debunked the scam of colon cleansing – let’s face it – there’s nothing in nature which sprays water up one’s butt.
It’s natural for fecal matter to pass through the lower intestine, and the vast majority of the time, all of it does come out in the end – the only thing most people in the Western world need to do is eat more fiber & drink a bit more water.

At 24 I rejuvenated to age 8, I drank only a qt of OJ and did a gallon enema daily for a month and passed much waste daily and experienced dramatic healing. I know it works personally, but it’s not easy to clean the walls – particularly past 30 as the buildup thickens.

Tyrrell and the colon cleansers are right but few are able to clean or keep clean to testify. Their problem descriptions are correct but their herbs & methods I’ve found ineffective. I’m still trying to get back to my good cleanse but the liner is very resistant to shedding because the peristaltic action grows weaker w/ age.
I had it once but I didn’t know what I had and threw it away.

It does work and is the most fantastic thing I’ve ever experienced in my life and I’ve been obsessed w/ it since.

JBL Cascade? Sounds like an over-priced speaker set with an unusually long bass tube…

Quote: ” Our modern mode of living is at fault. It is all out of accord with Nature. We eat too much prepared and bland foods. We donâ€™t get enough bulk or roughage to get the right response from the colon. We donâ€™t get enough vigorous exercise.”

Wow, imagine how our colons must look nowadays! However, my own colon is often extremely “airy,” like an empty cellar with a foghorn in it.

I especially like this part: “They affect your brain and nervous system and make you mentally depressed and melancholic.”

The notion that retention of “black bile” causes melancholia was a staple of ancient and medieval medicine. It’s interesting to see this idea still in circulation in 1934.

Isn’t that the truth. I used to try to get some of my gullible friends to read http://www.quackwatch.org , but they preferred to believe whatever scam was going on at the moment!!

The more things change…

A few years back there was a chain e-mail going around that said that after John Wayne died, an autopsy showed that he had 70 lb. of feces impacted in his colon, and that was why he had died. (The e-mail was traced back to a company that sold some kind of “internal bath”.)

To this day people believe it despite the fact that a) John Wayne died of cancer, b) John Wayne probably didn’t weigh 70 pounds total when he died, and c) John Wayne didn’t have an autopsy, but was buried six hours after he died.

People will believe anything as long as it has absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever.
