"works just fine?" That really is a mystery to me--are you up in there looking?

People on the SAD (Standard American Diet, for those who don't know) are typically very stopped up. It has been said that if we don't go #2 several times a day, we are constipated. The comparison is with a baby who goes that often. As we get older, we can become less fecal-licious.

Colonics are raved about in the alternative health community. I am not sure I could go there (or have someone else do the honors) because I am a bit modest. God only knows what would come floating into that tube. But it has definitely been talked about as a great way to purify the body, IF you get a series of them. You do have to also start eating a clean diet or else it will be a temporary benefit.

I say that if you eat high-raw vegan or vedge, you will be eating such a clean, whole diet that you, too, can become fecal-licious
