My impression is that, although some individuals, especially those who tend to be constipated, may have problems with waste not moving through the bowels, most people can pretty much completely evacuate with laxatives like Epsom Salt. I also do not believe that most people have mucoid plaque completely covering their intestines.
On the other hand, I don't disbelieve the reports of these things coming out during a process of bowel cleansing. From my (slight experience and) reading on Hygienic Fasting I have come to the conclusion that most of this mucoid plaque is an exudate from the bowel as a result of the cleansing process.

When we talk about colon cleanses, I keep hearing or reading about all the gunk that is impacted into the colon, causing all kinds of health problems. There's even a guy on late-night TV around here selling "The Almighty Cleanse" who shows pictures of what this stuff impacting the colon looks like, and he claims that John Wayne's autopsy showed he had 40 pounds of gunk in his colon. Okay, the logic problem I have here is, I had a colonoscopy done last year, and I was awake and watching the monitor with the doctor. I had, of course, done the epsom salt thing the night before to clean things out. I didn't see any gunk stuck to the lining of my colon. Is it really possible that I have this rubber tire stuff further up my in my intestinal system, and that none of it is in the lower part that can be viewed by colonoscopy? I'm working with a Naturopath right now, and she has recommended that I take a product called OxyCleanse for a while. I'm happy to do that. It just defies logic to me that the bottom of my colon can be cleaned out so quickly with just that drink the doctor had me take the night before the colonoscopy, but the stuff further upstream hasn't been moved by the same stuff..... BTW, I have pretty regular bowel movements, once or twice a day. They are light brown in color, do not float, are not hard to expel, and seem to have decent "girth." The reason I'm working with the Naturopath is to get rid of about 80 pounds of extra weight and get my blood pressure down with natural means. I've tried adding Magnesium and Calcium, but I have been unsuccessful on my own, so I thought I'd enlist the aid of a pro.... Thanks for any input anybody would care to share....and I'm happy to move to OT if this becomes a big discussion. Linda -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
