Who's Down With The Cleanse?!?

This is what we could expect...

A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients(predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?'
3. 'Can you hear me NOW?'
4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?'
5. 'You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married.'
6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?'
7. 'You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out...'
8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!'
9. 'If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
10. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.'
11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?'
12. 'God, now I know why I am not gay.'

And the best one of all.

13. 'Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?'

Sorry Justin, but the idea that you can "cleanse the poisons out" is nothing but new-age garbage. Will it hurt you? Not necessarily, though it has the potential to seriously throw your calcium and sodium levels out of whack and cause all manner of minor (and not so minor) neurological problems.

You have a liver and kidneys and, despite years of heavy drinking, they're still likely working just fine. Those poisons you want flushed? They're in your muscles, they're in your blood, they're in your bones. If they need flushing your liver will do the job; it just takes time. There's one place they're not, and that's in your colon. All that's in your colon and lower GI tract is the "waste" that was going to get expelled anyway and whatever water your GI tract hasn't yet absorbed.

You might feel better after this ordeal is done, but it's all a combination of food-triggered seratonin releases and the placebo effect. You feel better because you expect to feel better and you'll be back to baseline after a single day of regular eating. Never take the word of anecdotal "evidence" when it comes to medical health advice. It's a story, not evidence, and you shouldn't potentially put your life in the hands of a hippy pamphlet anyway.
