Ambiguity about colon cleanse concept based on wrongly understood body functions
The procedure of medical imaging requiring colon cleanse is carried out to get better results of medical imaging or for preparing the patient one day before the scheduled surgery.
Procedures like colonoscopy or other same type of procedures are also requiring colon cleansing for removal of solid matter causing disturbance in their examination. Liquid foods are advised one day before so that the entire bowl can be irrigated.
The Symptoms Observed Explanation:
The symptoms thought to be associated due to auto-intoxication are headache, fatigued feeling, no of appetite and irritating mood. These are in realty taking place due to presence of mechanically distended bowel with the possibility of occurrence of irritable bowel syndrome, and not due to toxins presence arising out of putrefied food, which is wrongly assumed.
The conclusion is that the colon cleansing benefits thought to be present and promoted are having no justified basis, therefore the claims put forward by the manufacturers and practitioners are having link to the wrongfully understood body functioning.
