Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

You ever hear this idea that we have five 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

columbas, which is a combination of an enema and a colonic, which was invented by Bernard Jensen,

who wrote the book on colonizing. I went to his home. He lived in a trailer in San Diego,

and I bought his kits, and I've done many

of his colonics over the years. And looking back at that, the problem was, I never fixed my diet.

So you'd go on a seven-day kind of a Colema cleanse, where you're doing this Cole twice a day morning at night and then you're not

eating any food you're taking cillium seed apple juice which is filled with sugar and a bunch of

vitamins and literally i was starving because my blood sugars were up and down because of the apple juice. I never

got into ketosis. And I was just dreaming about eating a pizza because they never told you to

consume electrolytes or sea salt. So I was so craving something salty. And little that I know, I was very deficient in

sodium. And that was actually quite dangerous to drink all this fluid and then to eliminate all this

fluid. So you really need to know what you're doing if you're going to do a colon cleanse.

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

people, but I don't think it's the average. I think the average person who eliminates between

14 to 16 ounces of poop a day, usually does not have an impacted colon or constipation. Now, that's a 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.
