Hello,
I do not have a comment, but do have a question that hopefully you can answer.
What is your opinion re: colon cleanses ie: colonics?
I had watched Dr. Oz’s show this past Thursday and he said that colon cleanses or colonics are just hype. He said that when someone gets a colon cleanse, it not only gets rid of the bad stuff, toxins, but also gets rid of the good stuff as well. Is this true? Would it be better to just do the safe natural cleanses as described above, along with natural herbs?
I have a celiac condition and would it be okay to do the natural cleanses as I also have some digestive issues that go along with my condition. I try to include as much fiber as I can in my diet because I am bothered with constipation at times.
Thank You,
Michelle.
