Detox

Recently, I have been at home with nothing to do (always something to do, just either 1) not worth doing or 2) I am procrastinating) and watching the numerous infomercials that come on television.  Every Saturday and sometimes Sunday they have two or three on the subject of Detox.  They make me laugh ever so much.  I have never openly talked about bowel movements, nor have I seen anyone who did–from size to thickness to color.

You have these supposed doctors (I’m not quite sure what they are) trying to convince you, the person lame enough to be watching an infomercial in the first place, to by their product–usually pills.  They tell you that your colon is clogged up and needs to be emptied (how they know about my colon, I’m not quite sure).  The answer to this problem is their new pill.  But oh no, it is  not a laxitive–makes you poop your guts out–but definitely not a laxitive.  The doctor(s) got very defensive when this subject was brought up.

I learned many other things about the (my?) body.  For instance,  if the colon is not properly detoxed on a regular basis the fecal matter that has not been properly disposed seeps back into the body.  It stays there hardening; the body tries to rid itself of the unuseful substance and sometimes it seeps at the skin.  Do you have embarrasing marks on your body?  Maybe you should detox!!
