Colon Cleanser!!!

I'm with Songbyrd on this one, sorry. The human body, after millions of years of evolution and being a carnivore, has developed extremely effective techniques to keep the body clean of toxins. We have organs that are dedicated to nothing other then cleaning the body and blood of the "bad stuff".

Are Humans Carnivores or Herbivores?
September 9th, 2005 by Steve Pavlina

Are human beings anatomically more similar to natural carnivores or to natural herbivores?
Let’s find out….

Intestinal tract length. Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores.

Stomach acidity. Carnivores’ stomachs are 20x more acidic than the stomachs of herbivores. Human stomach acidity matches that of herbivores.

Saliva. The saliva of carnivores is acidic. The saliva of herbivores is alkaline, which helps pre-digest plant foods. Human saliva is alkaline.

Shape of intestines. Carnivore bowels are smooth, shaped like a pipe, so meat passes through quickly — they don’t have bumps or pockets. Herbivore bowels are bumpy and pouch-like with lots of pockets, like a windy mountain road, so plant foods pass through slowly for optimal nutrient absorption. Human bowels have the same characteristics as those of herbivores.

Fiber. Carnivores don’t require fiber to help move food through their short and smooth digestive tracts. Herbivores require dietary fiber to move food through their long and bumpy digestive tracts, to prevent the bowels from becoming clogged with rotting food. Humans have the same requirement as herbivores.

Cholesterol. Cholesterol is not a problem for a carnivore’s digestive system. A carnivore such as a cat can handle a high-cholesterol diet without negative health consequences. A human cannot. Humans have zero dietary need for cholesterol because our bodies manufacture all we need. Cholesterol is only found in animal foods, never in plant foods. A plant-based diet is by definition cholesterol-free.

Claws and teeth. Carnivores have claws, sharp front teeth capable of subduing prey, and no flat molars for chewing. Herbivores have no claws or sharp front teeth capable of subduing prey, but they have flat molars for chewing. Humans have the same characteristics as herbivores.

We're neither carnivorous nor herbivorous. We're omnivorous. We can chew, swallow, and digest meat. This 'author' failed to note that, while herbivorous animals can digest cellulose, we cannot. We are capable of 'subduing prey' because we walk upright, have opposable thumbs, and possess weapons. Whether we chose to eat meat or not is a personal choice, but we are fully capable of it.

not to sound mean, I really am not trying to be, but I loooked up the guy who wrote this article because it was missing some obvious stuff (that Songbyrd has posted). He calls himself a Personal Development Blogger who has a degree in Computer Science and Math. I'm sorry, that just doesn't do it for me.

There's been a number of posts on this subject but the general concensus is that they are unnecessary and do not contribute to weight loss. Just a waste of money.

Okay, sounds like it's time for me to write a LINUX manual! :laugh:

Since most of you have "poo pooed" :laugh: the idea of colon cleansing ...
I guess it's time to flush this thread down the toilet.

For those of you who are open minded to the idea of colon therapy ( I AM NOT talking about taking herbal remedies, pills & tonics here) I will give you a brief update of my experience.

I choose this treatment option because for years, I have been experiencing irregular, narrow and stringy bm's that left me still feeling like I had stuff to void. I also had a long history of fast food, black soda pop, and heavy sticky cheese in my diet. Even after 6 weeks of high vegetable, high fiber, high fruit diet, I was still not feeling completely emptied after a bowel movement.

I was nervous about the treatment but so far have been thrilled with the results. It's been 3 full days since my colonic cleansing session and I am experiencing the most effortless, large quantity, not too soft, no cramping, bowel movements of my life. I go in the morning and again in the afternoon and feel completely empty afterwards.

I no longer have a bloated, distended stomach (other than some fat) and have taken my belt up 2 notches. I am down 2 more pounds this morning which could be due to either my diet or my colon functioning better ... who knows for sure. (I won't update my ticker with that information until my weigh in day on Monday.)

I am still fully prepared to update you with negative news, if I have any in the future.
Learn as much as you can people and then follow your own instincts

Um....I think I'll stick with the popcorn idea!!! :laugh:

wannaBme

Let's start a new fad !!!
:noway: Popcorn Colon Cleansing:noway:

We'll be RICH in no time !!

... We'll sell special formulated popcorn seeds that are bred for there "scratchiness" to scrap the intestinal walls ... of course, they'll need to buy our specially manufactured popcorn popper that pops the seeds at precisely the right temperature ... we'll add omega 3's & 6's, and probiotics, and fiber ... to turbo charge cleaning the body systems ... It'll be a SUPER deal at only 3 payments of $19.95 (not including shipping and handling).

Popcorn Colon Cleansing ... makes me think of "popcorn fart" ..
Where did that saying come from?:laugh:

Geez .. I'm losing it ... I better get back to work !!
