linfoki commented that the doctor made no mention of plaque build up in his colon.

BlankIts very interesting that you should say this, These doctors and surgeons

when they are doing these colon checks via cameras must just see layers of

hardened (crud) why don't they say anything?

I suppose 'they' think its normal to have all this build up.

What about when they take out a piece of colon. what if that is all fouled up,

and the two ends that they join up are also cruddy, do they get a small pick axe

and chip it away (lol)

Thanks for expressing my doubts on the matter. If you have ever done

a colonoscopy and looked at the screen, you will note that the

preparation (laxative, enema or both) has done an extremely good job

of cleaning the interior of the colon down to the flesh. In those

rare cases where the patient has *not* done an adequate job, the

radiologist makes that fact known. (And may necessitate doing the

procedure once again, with proper preparation that time.)

So that puts into serious doubt the need for any sort of cleansing

more thorough, say, than a normal dose of Epsom salts (one teaspoon,

BTW). And also makes one wonder whatever became of " ropies " from the

bowel.

>I suppose 'they' think its normal to have all this build up.

My explanation is a bit more skeptical.

Has anyone reason to dispute my observation?
