Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm disinclined to believe that an otherwise healthy person has 'plaque' in the colon but I certainly believe that the buildup and retention of 'bacteria' and, in particular, the toxic and/or undesired waste they produce is deserved of colon cleansing through colonics and/or enemas. I'm not into orally taken flushing agents as they give me side effects; I prefer the 'bottom up' cleansing. But after a colonic and/or enema series I feel much much better for days...it seems to make a big difference. So, I'm in total agreement with Robin when it comes to the many benefits of colonics that she mentions. JP > > I have one question for you.
