Ever heard of a fecal transplant? Guess what they do when you kill all the good bacteria in your bowels? You guessed it, fecal transplant.

Ladies were once advised to cleanse their nether regions with Lysol. No joke.

Yogurt has good bacteria in it that will get in there and munch on all the "bad stuff" (as someone put it on here). Your body has it's own cleaning and filtering system.
I look at it this way: If you chow down on antacids, like tums, everyday whether you need them or not, your body will stop its natural acid blocking. The point, if you take over doing tasks your body already knows how to do, it's going to stop doing it. Also, on a special note, those cleanse have a lot of acid in them which can not only kill the good bacteria in your intestinal tract in the form of fiery diarrhea , but an "overdose" of acidic food like lemons can also screw with your bilirubin counts, which would be bad for your liver.
NOT AN EXPERT, this is just things that I have been told by a doctor and watched happen to my step mother. I would research first before you do something like that.
I am a firm believer in the "3 F" cleanse: fat, fiber, and fluids. Get enough of all three of these and your body will do the rest.

That's awesome to know as I eat a cup of yogurt almost daily. Other days I may eat less (gone are the 1 cup size yogurts!) but almost every day I have at least a 5.5 oz or full 227 gram serving of it. Yay me!

Spring cleaning, right?jennifershoo wrote: »Hahaha! Every day there is a post about the master cleanse. It must be spring.
The local "woo, woo" store had a sign out front a couple of days ago: "Time for Spring Cleaning. Come in for cleanses and Ion foot detox" Not sure what an ion foot detox is but I'll pass anyway.
Haha, I'd pass too!0 -

Yes article in the link I posted stated that "feminine hygiene" was a euphemism for "birth control," which was frowned upon in those days....and the Lysol (not surprisingly) was not even effective as birth control but it did contribute to injuries and deaths....
Just goes to show how much of an influence MARKETING has on "health care" - then, and now....0 -

Exactly, I am a person who likes to enjoy life. Starving and drinking nasty liquids all day just to have them come out the other end at 156mph is not my idea of enjoyable! LOL0 -

Yuck-o. I do not recommend any of these "cleanses." Your liver and kidneys cleanse your blood. Your colon moves the crap out properly as it is; stuff does not stay in there forever, no matter what the scaremongers tell you. You don't have worms. Just calculate your caloric and nutrient needs and follow them, and go work out.0
-
I think that when people blast stuff through their systems before it is thoroughly digested, what they see in the toilet scares them into thinking it's "bad stuff" that was lurking inside, and they mistake all the mucus from the irritation for worms. *shakes head* No need to fool yourself and go through all that nastiness in the bathroom.0
-
The thing that gets me -- is if they cleanses did in fact do what they claim -- why in the HECK would anyone want to release that toxic crap back into their blood supply? Fortunately its's all woo and sympathetic magic.0

I'm 2 bowel cleanses in for my lifetime, and the 3rd is looming this summer as I'm due for my colonoscopy. Why the everloving hell someone would intentionally crap their brains out is beyond me. I mean I really wish I didn't have to have 8"-10" of my colon removed, and I really REALLY wish my GI hadn't found a precancerous polyp while doing a scope to confirm diverticula (which is why I had to have part of my colon out). I have to do it every 5 years for life now because of that stupid polyp, and had been banking on not having to go back for 20 years.
Don't crap your brains out in the name of weight loss.0 -

Also, try probiotics before resorting to... shudder... "transplants." God. The amount of puking I'd do from that would probably kill me from dehydration lol.0
