Hi Nora and Elchanan

This mucoid plaque theory is another thing I have a hard time

understanding if it's for real or a myth as you call it. I recall

Dr. Doug Graham explaining that the lining of the colon is much like

the lining of our mouth. And we know food doesn't stick to the sides

of our mouth so it makes perfect sense that it wouldn't stick to the

sides of our colons. So with that understanding the mucoid plaque

theory has to be a myth.

Also about 3 years ago my husband had a colonoscopy. He had to take

some yucky stuff beforehand that would make him clean out his colon

before he went to the hospital. With all the horror stories I read

about I expected that he would be on the can all night and he would

be eliminating identifiable things he hadn't eaten in 20 years. Well

he didn't really eliminate that much stuff. And when he was in the

hospital the next day I got to see pictures of the inside of his

colon and like you said it was nice and pink and clean looking.

But then I read someone like John Rose who does believe in mucoid

plaque and claims that by doing a cleanse he lost something like 15

lbs. He says and I'm not quoting here so my figures could be off but

he said something like he only had like 5% bodyfat, was in great

shape yet when he did this cleanse he had all this stuff coming out

of him that been in him for years. John Rose is someone who

advocates a raw food diet and I believe his method of doing a cleanse

is with an all juice 'fast'. He may use herbs too I'm not sure.

Anyway John is a person who I think is respectable with the raw food

movement and so I wonder how he can come to such a different

conclusion.

Also I've read books written by Dr. N.W. Walker (Colon Health) and

Arnold Ehret who share similar stories of petrified waste encrusted

on the walls of the colon along with worms and other nasty stuff.

Walker explains that eating a cooked or processed food leaves a

coating on the inner walls of the colon much like plaster.

When I read these things it sounds believable and I can't imagine why

they would lie. Which doesn't mean I think you guys are lying. I

just don't understand how there can be such a vast difference in

opinion...

Hi there rawesome,

That there is no plaque is not really a matter of opinion. Thousands of

surgeons and nurses, hundreds of thousands of colonoscopies, all with the

same result. It is almost unimaginable that all those people are telling one

orchestrated lie, even to the most diehard lover of conspiracy theories.

What you saw on the camera, before your own eyes, is what everyone sees:

nice pink intestine.

The lining of the mouth and that of the intestine are indeed both made of

goblet cells, named for their shape. These cells are sloughed off and

replaced daily (or very nearly so), there is literally no possibility that

anything has time to stick to them in any permanent way. All such thinking

is just nonsense.

The RF world is just as filled with its own nonsense as is the rest of the

world, and this should not surprise us at all. My advice is simple: listen

to the teachers who are NOT selling products (other than perhaps educational

products such as books and tapes). All the others have just as much vested

interest in selling their products as does any other purveyor of " health "

products.

What comes out of the colon during a cleanse is the cleanse itself, heavy,

indigestible, water-hogging stuff that the body wants to eliminate as

quickly and completely as possible.

And as for weight loss during such a cleanse, most colon cleanses involved a

continuous reduction of eating throughout the cleanse. As one ingests fewer

and fewer calories, one creates a partial fasting state, and weight loss is

quite understandable. Further, if the person is someone who typically

consumes a large quantity of salt, sodium chloride in ANY form, then we

would anticipate an enormous loss of water weight in a very short time,

under conditions of a partial fast where salt is withheld.

Hope this explanation is helpful,

Elchanan
