Someone was telling me how we have like ten pounds of waste in our stomaches and shit pipes that we cant get rid of through simple clean diets. He was saying its a cleansing system that you do for a week or a month which helps with your gut.

Im really unfamiliar in this area, can anyone bring some light on the subject?

High fiber diet is all you need.

Colon cleansers are a big scam.

+1. You don't need any special 'cleansing' program, just incorporate more fiber into your diet.

I've also found that going to mexico is a good way to clean your colon.

The whole topic of "toxicity" and "cleansing" is not all that well-understood, I think. And for some reason it tends to bring out anger in most people on these boards. Not sure why.

But anyways, of course there will be scam-like products out there; there's bullshit everywhere in the nutrition and supplement world. Assuming you're pretty young, you probably don't "need" to do much but consume more fiber (and increase your water intake as well). You should do this gradually as well because too much fibre (when your system isn't used to it) can clog you up.

I don't know where all this scam business came from, but herbs like Golden Seal and Milk Thistle tend to be recommended by physicians. Many cleansing products use very basic things that people use separately quite often, ginger, cayenne, etc.

Perhaps the scam is in their advertisement statements. But most of them consist of fiber (or a multi-fiber), and very basic herbs like I listed above. Are they magical? No. Do they do something geared towards improving health? More times than not, yes.

Yeah I was referring more to the colon cleansing 'scams.' Not really scams I guess in that they do work, but overpriced for what they are for the most part which is fiber/multi fiber supps. 50 dollars for a fancy package when you could justr spend 10 bucks for 150 servings of ****mucil.
