The colon cleanser was borne of one’s need to rid the body of toxins based upon the premise that food that entered the lower intestine, decays. Not a novel revelation but the early Egyptians thought correctly that the bacteria and toxins in the intestines were developed as a direct result of the decomposition of rotting matter in the intestines. They also rightly confirmed that said bacteria and toxins could indeed cause illnesses.

Hence, the colon cleanser was created.

Then, not to be outdone, the ancient Greeks took the idea a bit further and began to explore the role of the colon cleanser with focused scientific experiments in biochemistry and in microbiology. They found that the toxins in the colon could actually shorten the lifespan of those studied.

The Greeks went as far as to say that the human body can’t, on its own, rid the body of all the toxins in the colon. In fact they so believed this that they becan to perform surgeries to remove impacted colons.

In the late 19th century and early 20th century this practice subsided as scientists and medical doctors could not find information to support the surgical process as a remedy for impacted or otherwise dirty colons.

In modern times, the medical and scientific community have embraced colon cleansing as a viable alternative to surgery and this methodology has been supported by both the medical community, scientific evidence and by research perfromed by the manufacturers of the marketable colon cleansing products.
