Colon cleansing

I'm on treatment for hep c and I've been thinking about doing a colon cleansing.  A lot of germs and toxins live in our colons and I thought this might be a good time to flush them out along with the Hep c.  

Is this safe for me right now?  Has anybody else done it?  How does colon cleansing affect the liver?  

I plan on talking to my doctor first but I was hoping some of you might shed some light on the subject.

Yup. They got their degrees alright when it comes to the down netherland. The third degree.

Has any noticed, that the ads to the right of each thread apparently are triggered by key words in the title. Like a lot of colon cleansing ads on the right part of the screen and if you go down to the "vaginal bleeding thread" a lot of vaginal ads :) It's probably been like this for ten years but just wanted you to know how observant I am since I just noticed it today.

I ended my treatment in the hospital with really big problems down there. stop, go, stuck, running and a lot of other ajectives that include bleeding. I think the treatment drugs are really hard on the sensitive cells that line our mouths throat, stomach and intestine. Might not be the best time to try that but colon cleanses are suppose to be great for lowering txins!

They are not on my screen right now. I'm guessing they rotate them on and off. But keep looking and do report back. We do not want you to be deprieved of the American Way :) Yes, I'm serious and I do see the ads. They are on the right. Hopefully, others see them as well. If not, I guess it's time to have a long discussion with my shrink.

OK. Maybe this helps. I don't see the ads now when I'm composing. I also don't see them on the main screen where you can scroll down and look at all the threads. Where the ads appear is when you click on a particular thread heading so you can read the individual posts. The ads then (usually a second or two delay) appear on the right at the top. Are you on a fast cable line? If not, maybe you might have to wait a minute or two for the ads to pop on as they probably come from a different server.
