    Anyone ever see that episode of Penn & Teller: Bulls**t! where they went to a health food store with a hidden camera and started asking questions about the products being sold? The store attendant got the purpose of a lot of the products wrong.

    Granted, it was only one heath food store and one attendant so it may not be representative of the health food industry. Then again I don't think health food store attendants are required to seek certification to give advice about health. Here in the Philippines, it is illegal for that pharmacists to give health advice with regards to medicine since it's considered practicing medicine.

    Now,when i do this i get a 30 day cleanse,anti-oxident,good bacteria,green veggi replacement,hair,skin and nail,and a good multi-vitamin.I take the multi-vitamin,hair skin and nails,and my green veggi replacement vitamin already.
    I pulled this off another site...


    So far, researchers have identified more than 500 different types of bacteria that grow naturally in your colon. Almost all are harmless and some break down the unabsorbed carbohydrates into short chain fatty acids that are necessary for your health. These short chain fatty acids are absorbed from your colon can help to heal ulcers, prevent colon and other cancers, reduce the pain of arthritis or psoriasis, lower cholesterol, lower high blood pressure and help to prevent heart attacks.

    Enemas, laxatives and other colon-cleansing products can deprive you of good bacteria and these healthful short chain fatty acids, and cause you to lose basic nutrients from your colon. If you suffer from frequent constipation, try removing all refined carbohydrates from your diet (all foods made with flour, white rice or milled corn), and drinking more fluid. If that does not relieve the problem, check with your doctor.

      Your right,everyday a company puts out a product and they want you to believe it,buy it.Everything you buy comes from someone who wants to make money,so people will tell you anything to make money.You bought the atkins book right?Same thing.A healthy diet and exercise is the best thing for you.I just happened to grow up w/people who practice natural health,healing.Your multi-vitamin probally comes from the same place as the colon/detox.

        Most importantly taking in 25 gr. minimally of fiber is your intestional wash cloth.
        You can do this by adding in
        psyllium powder
        flax meal
        extra veggies
        Make it a happy low carb life!

          Assuming you've already bought the stuff, and assuming your body is polluted and/or constipated, you should read the label.
          What are the active ingredients? (I've seen various products claiming to cleanse your colon and or system of different things.)
          What I can tell you is you will probably acomplish the cleansing of BOTH simply by DOING the induction. My choice would be eat some non-digestible fiber and drink a few pinches of epsom salts (dissolved!!!) - works pretty quick. And drink LOTS OF WATER.
          Good luck!
