Anyone heard of a colon cleanes? Whats your opinion?

I have a friend 1 year above me studying nutritional sci. And she said it's good to detox and cleanes the colon 1-2 times a year. Why is this? Have any of you tried it? If so was it home made, clean eating or a product.

Sorry for sommany questions, i googled it but there are way too many scams surrounding it. Would rather ask others for their honest opinions :) thanks all

    There is absolutely no need to do a colon cleanse.

    Your friend is wrong. Your body functions, especially pooping, cleans your colon just fine.

    Unless you have some gastrointestinal disease that prevents proper functioning, there is no need to cleanse your colon. Fiber and water will push things along just fine.

    I've got a leaf blower that I could put in reverse. Would that work?

    Bottle brush. A little uncomfortable, but really effective. Or you could just lay off of the cheese, up your fiber and let your body do it's natural thing. Either way, cleansed.

    And I can't imagine why anyone would choose to do the prep (or a colon cleanse) if they had a choice. It's not fun.

    A co-worker did the "Master Cleanse" which consists of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper and that's all she could have for 10 days to "cleanse" herself. She finished the 10 days just recently and then got very sick and looks exhausted.
