Which is why this article made an impression on me. It wasn't some newagy whatever trying to sell me something. It was a sceptic that actually went through it all for curiosity sake. I'm guessing somethings expelled are just normal mucus and lining. I know flushing to extreamly actually does damage more than helps. So I really wonder about people frequently flushing their systems. But I have fasted at times and felt better for it.
However... I must say I found it rather bizzare that they had chunks of undigested "old" food come out. Anywhere food is in your digestive tract it has digestive enzymes thrown at it. Harshest I think is the stomach but as it progresses through it becomes more processed. Whole chunks are more likely comming from closer to the stomach. Very odd that somethign that old would be stuck there. I can however see a marble possibly getting stuck in a small diverticulosis. All sorts of weird things happen to our guts and no doubt spasims caused by some of the diet forced it up and out if it was in such a pocket.
Btw I have had full and partial intestinal blockages. I overcame them without surgery. They actually turned up during boughts of the flu and other things. One saw me vomit up a bathroom sink full of blood no joke. It looked like coffe grinds and stuff. I was rather freaked out by it but the doc put my mind at ease. I've not had a simlar attack since.
I currently deal with severe GERD and mild-mod IBS. I've also had one colon polyp removed and at one point I had bleeding ulcers(not stress... it was from picking up something on the job site when I worked at a heritage house). I also have had my gallbladder removed. So I do understand tummy troubles and I also understand well that certain "trendy" new age things aren't as mellow, safe/harmless as some would have you believe. I've had someone try to get me to do some newagy things before and refused on the basics of no scientific evidence. They I got the whole "doctors don't want you know know this works because you'd visit them less and they'd make less money" conspiracy of the "establishment" theory. :P I know enough docs that if they thought it was viable for x thing they'd introduce it.(I can say that after what my daughter went through when terminally ill and my son went through with his special needs)
So no worry I'll take it with a grain of salt. I just found the results interesting considering it came from a non biased perviously sceptical person in that article. Making that "cleaning" out to be possibly benificial. Which makes it worth taking a look. If it was some canned article or somethign from a new age magazine I might not fully trust it. |
