Demystifying ‘colonics’ or colon/bowel cleansing scams
Morning,
Here’s a newsflash for you - if you eat 5 pounds of food, for at least the next 1/2 minute, you’ll weigh 5 pounds more.
It’s common sense, right? Until you digest and pass out whatever remains, your weight will increase by whatever you eat.
This is nothing to worry about - it’s the way we’re designed. However, alas, there are lots of folks out there who want to scare you about this simple process, and tell you that you need a ‘colon cleansing’ to help you attain better health or even lose weight.
It’s a darned shame! So I’ve researched some colon cleansing and other detox de-scamming resources for you:
- Colon cleansing - Harmful or helpful?
- Confessions of a Quack Buster - colon cleansing
- Mucoid Plaque - A Dubious Idea
- Is Colon Cleansing a Scam?
- I’ve Tried that - Colon Cleansing
- The Truth Behind Colonics
If you take the time to read all of the above, methinks you’ll see….it’s a scam, through and through. ‘Selling the Dream’ (in this case, health or losing weight) is one of the ways scamsters simply try to make money off of honest folk like you.
Don’t get taking in by it.
Enjoy,
Barbara
