Sorry so late arriving to the party. Since you asked about cleansing, I think Kurt pointed you in the right direction asking for Peaboy's input. We were taught that colon(and GI in general) cleansing is an ineffective, age old practice. I am not familiar with one shred of evidence that 'cleansing' does anything other than make you poop like crazy...I don't claim to know everything, just have been taught to practice evidence-based medicine, and the objective evidence for cleansing does not exist. But it certainly seems to satisfy a psychological need in many to sit on the toilet, so if it floats your boat, go for it. Just be careful what you use-buy your stuff from Peaboy or someone of equally good repute
Here is a simple blurb on the topic courtesy of the Mayo minds http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/colon-cleansing/AN00065/METHOD=print
My brother is an internal medicine MD at Johns Hopkins. He is of the same opinion as Skunky that there is no positive physical effect of "cleansing". As pointed out, there may be a positive pscyhological effect for some though. But be careful, he has treated people in cases where cleansing was over done.

Nothing has happened yet. But I feel it coming. I put too much cayenne pepper in the mix.
