    I would expect it to help purge the colon, which would appear to be weight loss, because nothing is staying in there. Agreed. Bad idea.

    “Even though I believe we should promote Chinese medicine,” Mao told him, “I personally do not believe in it. I don’t take Chinese medicine.”

    There is no long, ancient history of cleanses as an effective anything. Mao created "traditional Chinese medicine" because he didn't have enough western-style doctors.
