Colon cleansing is neither safe nor necessary for anyone. Look it up at reputable medical sites online or go to www.quackwatch.org

 

Don't do it! The colon is designed to work fine without any intrusive "cleaning". That oft repeated mantra about there being all sorts of toxins in the body is nonsense.
