Is colon cleansing necessary or is it a scam?

I think it might be a scam because I saw it on two infomercials, one involving some tool named Donald Barrett who has done “shows” (an infomercial disguised as a show) with Kevin Trudeau, and I’m sure everyone knows how much of a straight shooter Kevin is. The colon cleansing infomercial was with someone named Klee or Clee something (and Donald), but.. it all kind of sounded like BS. I don’t think feces would build up on the walls of your colon, but then again I was sort of worried since he said it was basically mucous in the colon. Worried me because I accidently swallow a lot of mucous a lot because I’m congested in the mornings quite a bit. So is colon cleansing real or is it a hoax to make money off of the ignorant?

High colonics (or enemas) are useful if you are bound up and need to loosen that which is ‘stuck’. Any mucous going through your stomach is going to be broken down by the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. People with insufficient fiber in their system do not have the same efficient peristaltic waves to push waste through, and so you can have little bits stuck along the sides, and an enema CAN knock you down several pounds (ugly, but true…). Still, that or laxatives are not something you should use unless your doctor directs you to.
