Are colon/bowel cleansings medically beneficial or necessary?
Sent to Health Experts June 20 12:07 AM

I recently had an attack of diverticulosis and in reading up on the internet, came across advertising sites about products that claim all sorts of parasites etc are robbing one of the best health and their product can help... of course I do not believe the hype but wondered if there is any credibility to cleaning ones bowel regularly with a man made product.

There is no credibility to cleaning ones bowel regularly with any product.

Actually long term regular cleaning can actually cause damage.

A occasional cleansing when needed for constipation is ok but to do it on a regular basis is not good.

As you know, stay away from that Popcorn to lessen your chances of a reoccurrence.
