This cannot be healthy..colon cleansing question?

Is going to a russian doctor each month to get your colon cleansed a good idea?
I only did a tiny bit of research by googling “Cons of colon cleansing” and “they” recommend finding a highly-skilled doctor; someone who knows what they’re doing 100 percent.

Pass this advice along to your friend. All colon cleansing products are scams. Colon cleansing is wholly unnecessary and a complete waste of time, money and effort. Regardless of marketing hype, regardless of ingredients, regardless of method, regardless of testimonials, colon cleansing is quite purely and simply medical quackery. The one exception to this is when it’s prescribed medically as in preparation for an examination such as colonoscopy.

The main reason is that the colon is a continuously self-cleaning system. Everyone knows that food goes in at the top of the GI tract and the leftover waste material quite naturally comes out the other end.

There is little scientific evidence to support or refute the benefits of colon cleansing, critics say it’s generally unnecessary and at times may even be harmful. Although doctors prescribe colon cleansing as preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy, most don’t recommend it for detoxification. Their reasoning is simple: The digestive system and bowel naturally eliminate waste material and bacteria — your body doesn’t need enemas or special diets or pills to do this.

If you are considering colon cleansing, consider trying these steps first:

* Drink plenty of fluids, including water
* Eat a diet rich in fiber
* Get regular exercise

Simple solution to get the same result, and you saved your money.
