Sue, we’ve already gone where we shouldn’t so what the hell, I’ll add my dos centavos.
Last year I had a severe bout of flu. I didn’t have the energy to eat and it took many gallons of gatorate to keep me hydrated. I’d drink a quart and it would run through my G.I. tract in a matter of minutes. I think you may be right on the mucous thing. I got over the flu in a weekend but my bowels weren’t right for weeks after that.
Um, I can’t believe I’m still reading this thread, but it does have a certain horrible fascination.
Your colon produces mucous in response to irritation. The stuff in ColonBlow is very irritating. That’s it.
Also, unless you have some sort of disease or blockage, your colon is emptied frequently. These stories of the appearance of long-dead meals are just not plausible.
My question is, why have I never run across a woman who is concerned about these things? What is it with men and their bowels?
I’m actually posting to this thread…OMG. (blush)
Ok, Cher, I’ve recently become way more educated about the bowels than I ever wanted to be. I am a female that is now concerned about this stuff.
There, ya happy now?
Magdalene, I’ve tried that exact thing. It does not work. I don’t know why. I used a digital scale, and experimented several times, with the same result always. It’s mystified me for years, why your weight doesn’t change at all, despite your obvious loss of a at least a few ounces. Hmmm…
Well, aenea, you probably have a reason. I’m talking about otherwise perfectly healthy guys.
I first became curious about this when a neighbor of ours went into the “high colonics” business.
Jet-powered enema? Uh—no, thanks. I’ll just keep my toxins.
Have you ever tried playing football with a colostomy bag? 
aenea, maybe that’s a question for Uncle Cece?
Mods, I apologize for my pit-like earlier post in this thread. What I meant to say was:
“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyy ho!”
repeats to herself in mind: “Never open a thread with the word ‘Colonblow,’ never open a thread with the word ‘Colonblow,’ never…”
I thought this thread was going to be about our dear friend Oldscratch.
:rolleyes:

I think the spelling is golytely. I have had the honor of forcing it down many an animal’s throat before a scoping. Nasty stuff.

Ok, is this or is this not related to the SNL “commercial” for the product of the same name?? Too weird…
Well, this certainly has stirred up a lot of pungent discussion (pun intended).
Keep in mind that this is at most a twice-a year thing for me, like changing storm windows or steaming carpets.
BTW, you do get a lot of interested people when you wear the shirt out to a bar or club.
As to why the men in this thread are responding more favorably, well, we’re just plain full of shit.
I work in the bond market AND I’m an Aries, so you can tell that I’m exceptionally full of shit. 
Add this to the “Ministry-in-a box” that I got from the Universal Life Church of Modesto, CA as my strange, foolish, or just plain stupid Internet purchases. OTOH, I now have clean bowels and can marry people, so I think I’m doing pretty good.
You are a complete party pooper.
I did a completely non-scientific experiment here.
I visited with 6 women here in the office each for less than a minute. ALL OF THEM were very interested in the topic. Especially from the perspective of a ‘health’ process. Your colon produces mucus for EVERYTHING and it is not cleaned out on its own. That would be to suggest that we are all squeaky clean despite a diet of McD’s 3 times a week. I recently visited the MGM Hotel in Vegas. They have 2 lions living in the hotel, maybe you all have seen them. The lions ( who live like kings ) fast ONCE A WEEK for an internal cleanse. Hmmmmm… lions need to cleanse but we don’t?? What ever. We all have nasty crap rotting in us.
::crying:: Oh. My. God. ::wiping tears::
This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. When I first saw the thread, I thought “SNL” with Will Farrell sitting on this mountain of bran cereal.
Will Farrell? You sure? I seem to remember it being Kevin Nealon…
I’m pretty sure it was the late, great Phil Hartman who was in the original Colonblow ad.
Phil Hartman it was.
“Why, it take 10,000 bowls of your cereal to equal the amount of fiber in one bowl of Colonblow!” The funniest thing that has ever beeon on SNL, in my opinion.
Of course, there was also “Super Colonblow,” which came in the little tiny box.
[hello, John]
kids:
“We like Quarry 'cause it’s crunchy.”
mom (Jane Curtain?):
“I like Quarry 'cause it’s mined.”
[good-bye, John]
Yes, it is cleaned out all on it’s own. Here’s a quote from Dr. Andrew Weil, just as one citation:
“The colon sheds its entire lining and regenerates it every day, so it’s impossible for anything to build up on its walls.”
This is not to say that McDonald’s 3 times a week is doing great things for your body. Just that people typically do not need any extraordinary measures beyond a bit of fiber and sufficient water to clean out their bowels. All this stuff about rotting and toxins just ain’t so.
More fiber and more water is better, of course, but spending money on stuff like Colonblow is just not warranted and may actually be harmful if used too frequently.
As for the lions, well most meat eaters probably fast pretty frequently, out of necessity, and their bodies may have evolved to function best that way.
Didn’t Cecil do something on this? I just get all twitchy when I hear people talking about “toxins” and “cleansing”–especially if it comes with a pricetag.
Here’s a more detailed discussion, from Tufts University:
http://www.lifestylemanagement.com/lma/books/nov2.htm
My theory is that when people get stressed out they like to do something to regain control–and popping vitamins and herbs is a way of doing that without going through the far more difficult process of developing really healthy habits.
There’s also the guilt factor. Doing a juice regimen or taking Colonblow is like going to confession–psychologically purifying yourself after taking in all sorts of “sinful” food and drink.
Blah blah blah blah…
totally disagree. the results also speak for themselves. you need a good colonblow, then come back and talk about what you see. your story would be very different.
psycho whatever. its way more simple than you make it. its not about any of that. true, the u.s. has horrible diet and disciplined eating is great for everyone. likely?? i don’t think so. nutrition and cleansing are great ways for people to make decisions for themselves, rather than depend on everyone else to tell you how to think. its simple. poop out icky stuff. you are convinced that someone with a doctorate must tell you what is and isn’t good for you. something new, make a decision for yourself.
the lions… not evolution. the lions keeper doesn’t feed them on the 7th day.
lets not get away from the real issue at hand. light-hearted discussion about a universally hilarious topic, poopin’
