While I definitely agree with you that the junk really clogs and impacts the intestines, the use of Epsom Salts can significantly undo this problem.
I also agree with you that eating raw vegetables is certainly better for you in this respect, they just are not palatable for some.
Epsom Salts is a wonderful natural chemical that does the equivalent of a reverse flush on your intestines. The high concentration of this Magnesium salt literally pulls water back through the intestinal walls and breaks a lot of the gunk free where it can be passed out of the body.
