Also, just watch Discovery Health, or TLC, etc. You'll eventually see a few colonoscopies yourself, and even in "unhealthy" people, you never see anything but normal tissue...

That is not being covered by fecal matter.

My personal opinion is that your body can clean itself, and you don't have a bunch of toxins stuck in your colon.
Lots of people are bloated and filled with unnecessary crap. I gained and lost ten lbs. over the holidays eating more animal products and drinking more and then stopping.
