Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

You ever hear this idea that we have 5 to 10 to 20 pounds of toxic poop stuck in our

colons. So today we're going to talk about if that's actually a myth or if there's some truth in it.

Now, I have done every cleanse that has ever been invented. I've done colonics. I've done

colemas, which is a combination of an enocolonic, which was invented by Bernard Jensen who wrote

the book on colon cleansing. I went to his home. He lived in a trailer in San Diego and I bought his

cleanse. Now, how much toxic material is actually in someone? Could it be 5, 10, 20 pounds? Maybe with

generality. You know, a lot of people do have constipation and they could be holding a lot more waste.

However, I did not think it's like 10 or even 20 pounds. Now, in practice, there was one lady who

came in to see me that was severely constipated. She was going to the bathroom once a month. I'm not
