Today, I've got this article, in my email, and it got me thinking...(that's a 'plus', for me)
Next's an excerpt, just as food for thought .......Let’s see the facts behind mucous plaque and undigested food rotting in the colon.
If it were there, makes you wonder why it never shows up in colon surgeries or autopsies. You’d think that when the doctor opens up the colon he would see this mess of undigested food and mucous plaque.
Funny enough it’s never reported. And some colon surgeons even say that after thousands of operations they’ve never seen it.
That’s because it only exists in the minds of the people who sell colon cleansing products.
When you understand even a bit of physiology, it’s clear your colon cannot house years’ worth of undigested and rotting food.
Think of the colon as a tube. If it were filled with undigested food that pipe would be blocked. You still go to the toilet, so obviously the pipe is still open.
But they say: ‘no, but it’s stuck to the colon walls, so the colon is not blocked, it’s only narrower’.
Interesting. I guess they forgot that the colon wall keeps renewing itself all the time. It keeps shedding off old cells off and replacing them with new ones. It happens so rapidly that every 7 hours the whole lining is replaced.
For something to stick there it would have to reattach itself over 3 times a day. That’s about 1000 times a year.
Quite a feat for a rotting piece of undigested food.
This is just one of the quacks the natural health field is riddled with. Unfortunately many well meaning people both believe into these and repeat them to their friends as solid facts.
