Could somebody please explain to me exactly what a colon cleansing consists of? Do you take some kind of turbo laxative, or is it more of an enema kind of deal? What are the supposed health benefits that are derived from this? Thanks.

There are many different types and ways to do a colon cleansing. Easy and less aggressive is to go to a health food store and ask them to show you their colon cleansing products. The ones I've used in the past have 2 different pills you take twice a day and in about 3 days it will start working to clean you out. I am not saying you have this rush to get to the bathroom, but it will start your cleansing and will continue for as long as you take the pills..0

Um, yeah... after doing a bit of research I see that this is not really recommended or healthy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good poop as much as the next person, but this seems a bit much. I'm not really sure why anybody would actually intentionally give themselves the scoots to "flush out the toxins" (which apparently actually removes the good bacteria from your digestive tract), when a healthy diet with lots of fiber accomplishes the same thing in a much safer and less stressfull manner. To those that apparently enjoy this kind of thing, have fun (I guess). I don't think I'll be joining you any time soon!0
