When doctors open up people's bowels during surgery, or examine the colon and so on with endoscopic cameras, they don't find the '10 to 20 pounds of impacted fecal matter and slime' that the colon cleansers claim they need to remove to restore the body's natural balance etc..
This material just does not stick to the bowel wall - if it did it would fester and cause lethal infections etc, and evolutionarily the human species would have died out millenia ago. Flushing the alimentary canal with dozens of gallons of fresh water is actually dangerous as it can drastically affect one's electrolyte balance, which can cause shock and death, and also flush out the complex ecology of flora and fauna that exist within the gut and provide most of the means by which we digest our food. It takes some time to reestablish this balanced community of trillions of individual microorganisms until we are back to optimal digestion, so maybe the weight loss is actually caused by being unable to properly digest food for a few weeks after.
All in all, it's a bunch of hocum - real doctors dont do, or recommend this - remember real doctors are the ones who go to medical school and training for 10 years to absorb the knowledge of hundreds of years of practice and science, and don't go around claiming 'breakthrough' studies that 'the governement and the medical establishment' are trying to suppress, etc. Real doctors are the clever people, who know about the body - anyone else 'involved' in medicine is a fraud and money-grabbing quack who want to prey on your fears and take your money, whilst gambling with your health.
Don't do it.
