The theory behind colon cleansing hails back to the era of the greek and egyptian schools of medicine. Where autointoxication was believed to be responsible for all causes of disease. Autointoxication refers to an ancient theory that food enters the digestive system and rots giving rise to pus which enters the blood stream and causes all manner of ills. By 1919 the idea of autointoxication had run its course being debunked in the professional literature of the time. However despite the fact that there is no evidence of any...

And lately I’ve run into a run of infomercials. I’ve tried to watch with a critical eye. I’ve given up on the ones with the rows of smiling, buff, dancing exercise enthusiasts. I know our increasingly obese American population likes watching the tight bodies but makes no effort – with new gizmos of not – to exercise themselves. It’s just eye candy and another way to blow money on a New Year’s resolution almost no one follows for very long. But beyond the 30-minute exercise-equipment commercials are the more medical ones. Jane Seymour, the British actress, for example, has her name on a line of skin care products. Everyone wants to look younger and, according to Seymour’s experts in white coats...

In either case, its adherents are both misinformed and misguided. As with all quick-fix crash diets, Master Cleanse works initially (because of extremely reduced caloric intake and excessive bowel movements), but as soon as the fast ends and regular eating resumes, the lost weight is quickly regained. As a detoxification regimen, Master Cleanse is both unnecessary and ineffective. Your colon is not a septic tank, building up toxic contents, that needs periodic cleaning. Rather, it is an elegantly evolved perpetually self-cleaning system that empties on a regular, or as-needed, basis. In this regard, consider the wisdom of Dr. Dou...
