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.

Gene; sorry to hear the plant closed Gene- I guess I'm in the same boat- Relapsed and waiting to get back on the rat poison; take good care and stay in touch.

Fish- Ewwww; my daughter works as a vet tech here in town- I'm somewhat familiar with that technique. Although I might be a tad closer geographicaly, your expertise trumps geography by a long shot. Let me know how everything came out, Bill

Hey speak for yourself, my stach is alive and well these days.....positively neanderthalllllll

Current hubby has had a stache for decades, mostly to please me... his looks a lot better than mine...

Jim, I posted this once, but you may have missed it: couple of weeks ago my kids took the grandbabies for ice cream... and for some reason gave the two year old her own cone.  On the way back, the 4 yo is saying mMMOOMMM its all over her,,,, MOMMMM, so they handed a wad of kleenex to the back seat... MMMOOOOMMMMM its everywhere.... "well is it anywhere you can't clean it up?"""" MMMMMOOOOOMMMMMMM its on her magenta............I thought it was vagenta, but I went straight to the mommys mouth... so to speak..

Also, I know you have an inquisitive scientific mind, and the wonders of earthmotherwomb.....leave you completely befuddled... I applaud you for trying to understand the mysteries...

next??

I mean, really. What did you all expect from a colon cleansing thread and a toilet bowl thread in the same day? Too bad Goof's in Europe and CDM's is wherever. Guess the rest of us will have to do the heavy lifting.

Hate it when I blow those punch lines. Last line should read:

" Especially when I meet a vagina I want to know better"

Ah, yes, the women's health thread. Let's see, the lady asks: "
My question what is causing the bleeding could it be
per-menapause or mabye cortistone. I am worried sick about it."
-----
You know I would also be worried sick if my vagina started bleeding cause the last time I looked I don't have one. But seriously, this is America and Vagina's have a right to bleed if they want to. I mean it seems to happen all the time -- doesn't it men -- especially when you happen to meet you want to know better.

Jim-- if your theory holds true, someone should alert Susan400- she'll be able to see them in her sleep.

I just clicked on the advertise on this site link and it offers a space on this thread only! interesting technology. we do get a lot of snake oil sales there too, unfortunately.  I wonder how the colon cleansing people find out or are squeezed in as soon as the thread starts?  are they alerted or do they have an account with google that automatically yields a space for them without MH proofreading?

Giving this more though, the second theory seems to hold more water and also supports my position that the longer you treat the more post treatment sides. I beleive Cuteus treated 72 weeks and I treated 54 weeks and we both see the miraged ads. Chevy on the other hand, I think only treated 24 weeks and she doesn't see any ads. I've alerted double dose because he's doing independent research on post treatment side effects and this certainly is something he might want to explore further.

don't remember the banner, but the ads are by google, and we can click to advertise at the end of the ads column.  maybe it is blocked by some folks's firewall or something?

Alady: I don't see any ads in here ever.
----------------
Well, since you don't see them, and Cuteus and I see them, I can only come to two conclusions. Either you can't see them because it's some sort of undocumented tx side effect, or Cuteus and myself do see them because it's some sort or post tx undocumented side effect. If the latter, I hope it's not permanent cause maybe it will spread and we'll start seeing ads EVERYWHERE.

OK. Cancelled. But I believe the ads did disappear for a period of time recently (I've actually noticed them earlier just didn't realize they were tripped by key words) and were replaced by a big banner ad on the bottom of the page. I think it was Tylenol PM or something like that. Do you remember that?

they are real and they have not been there for10yrs.  they are triggered by key words, even within the thread if another topic becomes prominent. MH started them a couple of yrs back, when many here did not seem enthusiastic about paying a minimal yrly fee to be here. They have to support the site somehow.  I only donated once in my 3 yrs here.
so, jm, cancel the appt at the cuckoo's nest.
