    Do toxins exist, there's no such thing? That's like saying that the common cold is just a myth. Of course you can make your body work better than it does. That's the point of training exercises that develop muscles and coordination, is to make it work better. Your body is an amazing efficient machine, but the truth is we don't take care of it. We go to the supermarket, buy our foods, don't look at or understand the ingredients. It looks good and we've developed a trust in that brand. We can blame our local corporations who blame us in buying their products if something goes wrong. We just don't have time.

    It's very convenient to tell yourself that everything is alright as long as you eat right and exercise. As humans, we like to indulge, so we use the excuse of moderation. When we forget about moderation, your new philosophy is... you can't live forever.... fuck it... live life....till something goes wrong.

    I like to compare our body to the water pipes in our bathroom sink that only get filled with water. The entire bathroom is spotless and beautiful, we treat it good. In closer inspection, you look inside the pipe and find it's filthy and disgusting. The walls are filled with hard caked-on grime. In that grime is bacteria, viruses, diseases, fungi, poisons, germs, etc... Just like the walls of our body's natural piping system. We carry this shit with us everyday.

    Can I just ask really quick, since there isn't really science FOR it, what is the science AGAINST it? All anyone has said (doctors included) seems to be limited to oh I've never seen or heard of such a thing so it isn't real. I have no idea what is in those pictures but I'm pretty fucking sure it isn't just a snake made out of maple syrup and lemon juice or whatever...

    It's not even remotely like saying the common cold is a myth. The common cold is a known infectious disease that has been the subject of extensive research for decades - hence a litany of drugs that alleviate its symptoms.

    Can you name one toxin that occurs in humans as a result of poor diet (or anything else of that nature). I don't imagine that you can, given that you're pretty much relying on metaphor and conjecture in your argument, and not fact.

    Facts:
    1. There is a big ugly snake coming out of people's rectums
    2. We don't know what the fuck it is
    3. It comes out of rectums

    Oh an in regards to:

    "It's very convenient to tell yourself that everything is alright as long as you eat right and exercise. As humans, we like to indulge, so we use the excuse of moderation. When we forget about moderation, your new philosophy is... you can't live forever.... fuck it... live life....till something goes wrong."

    It's anything but convenient. Homosapiens have been on the planet for 200,000 years without the master cleanse. What do you think early Homo genus species did? Ate in moderation, and exercised like fuck while hunting for their food.

    You can't write off "moderation and exercise" merely as a convenient argument, as it's pretty much enabled the survival of our species up to this point, you whang.

    • nobody said it was vital, only that it can be helpful.scarabin
    • granted, but the final paragraph is still valid! Everything IS alright if you eat moderately and exerciserascuache

    bum snakes aren't anything new:

    "Various forms of colon cleansing were popular in the 19th and early 20th century.[11] In 1932, Bastedo wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association about his observation of mucus masses being removed by a colon irrigation procedure: “When one sees the dirty gray, brown or blackish sheets, strings and rolled up wormlike masses of tough mucus with a rotten or dead-fish odor that are obtained by colon irrigations, one does not wonder that these patients feel ill and that they obtain relief and show improvement as the result of the irrigation.”[12]"

    detox is the same bullshit as ear candles:

    yeah stuff comes out, but it's nothing to do with toxins etc.
    read up on your science, be skeptical don't just believe what you're told when it comes to science.

    • yeah but we all know earwax exists and I used to extract it often with a kit when I swamismith
    • and I'm not talking about swimmer's earismith
    • but earwax is good shit! It's there to stop dirt and germs getting in your ear. YOU NEEDS IT!rascuache
    • Just the same as you needs your bum snakerascuache
    • fine, but what's wrong with flushing it every once in a while? it's like doing body laundryismith
    • ha ha, bum laundry. it's not so much the act I don't agree with, it's the nature of it. Starving yourself FFS...rascuache
    • you don't starve yourself!sea_sea

    But don't you think that's still pretty much a suggestion that people felt better.

    I'd probably feel better after I shat 2 feet of mucus rope, but without knowing for certain it's up there I don't feel "bad". There's still no recent study that proves that bum snake is bad for you.

    You also forgot to paste this bit:

    "Mucus is a naturally occurring product of the digestive system and plays an important role in protecting it from damage and infection.[4][5] This mucus layer is less than a millimetre thick, but may become thinner or be removed entirely in diseases such as ulcerative colitis, which exposes the surface of the intestine to damage. However, the concept that this mucus layer might form a 'mucoid plaque' has been dismissed by physicians as having no anatomical or physiological basis."

    • I mean, suggestion rather than fact? It's an (almost) 80 year old study...rascuache
    • fat caffein and alcohol all generate more mucus and it builds up. Bad breath is a symptomeieio
    • increased oxygen can help it break down. flushing your stomach and nose out is amazing before and after a coldeieio
    • col is amazing.eieio
    • flushing your stomach as in having your stomach pumped?rascuache
    • no, as in getting rid of all the crap in there already naturally by yourself with water and green foods or whatevereieio
    • if you want to be real hard core drink salt water and puke it up. doctors recommendationeieio
    • ok so the water and green stuff is what I try to do already. After I boil Spinach I save the water and drink it when cold.rascuache
    • cos apparently you lose a lot of the vitamins in spinach when you boil it. Spinach water is fucking rank thoughrascuache
    • in fact it's probably a really dumb idea, but I guess it's a placebo for me cos it makes me feel good!rascuache
    • good enough. I do stuff like that once a week and avoid large meals for the day. forget long 'detox' sessions, i wouldn't lasteieio
    • ...lasteieio
    • forget the placebo...eieio
    • you feel good because it worrkseieio
  • eieio0

    i "detox" every week for a day and just don't eat bad shit most of the time. I also drink green tea and tonnes of water everyday, my mind is fresh and I'm ten times healthier than you all. I think if you really had to "detox" you probably just visitied a chemical dump site or something

    • lol at "I'm ten times healthier than you all"
      ...but you're probably right

    i know your family existed as monkeys running around exercising and shit for 200,000 without the Master Cleanse. Therefore whatever is good enough for those monkeys is good enough for you. Okay turd, you keep following in the footsteps of monkeys. Maybe you'll grow up to be a caveman one day. You live that life and see what happens.

    As for me, I'm outta here.... There's a monkey on my back throwing feces....

    speaking of jesus camp, i heard there was a camp rich people go to where they eat nothing and receive coffee enemas for a week

    costs like 10k

    @scarabin, that would be the Gerson Method (Google)

    I always thought the extra energy thing after a few days of starvation was your body's way of saying ok, clearly you suck at this food gathering business, lets kick it into overdrive and get some damned food before we die.

  • rascuache0

    Ha ha, I was just about to criticise you for resorting to insult, but then I remembered that I called you a whang. Oops :D

    Quite apt I suppose, someone told me the other day that I look a bit like a monkey. I think it's my massive ears.

    Anyway, I'm perfectly happy in the life I'm living thanks, and I'm quite sure that on our respective death beds, neither of us will even remember this thread, so I doubt very much that I'll regret making the choice not to starve myself for a fortnight in the hope that it might make me feel better.

    I'm prepared to send you some monkey poo as a peace offering, on the condition that you will send me your next bum snake.

    Do we got a deal?
