Hi Edna,
I worked for Gastroenterologists for 10 years...you do not need to cleanse your colon!
That's just a way for some scam artists to take your money!! I don't know your age, but, if a Doctor thinks it's necessary to check your colon out, it would be through a colonoscopy...I am 56 and have had 6! And all the hype of colonoscopies being horrible
is so untrue! The very worst thing about it is getting ready for it and even that is very tolerable...You are in a twilight sleep when they do it and won't feel a thing!! PLEASE
check with a doctor in regards to colon cleanses...a gastroenterologist is your very best bet! Sweetstuff
