Hi Marc,

Not fasting. I meant the second option, psyllium along with
anti-parasitic herbal teas etc. What I've read from this list
suggests this is nothing but a good thing to do early on, I just
want to check in since our doctor is so strongly opposed.
Incidentally, when my own father heard what we were doing, he
warned me that he had friends who did colonic cleanses -- and
died soon thereafter! (Gee, thanks Dad.) Now, I've never been
one to take any of my father's wild anecdotes seriously, and he
himself admitted under my close interrogation that no causal
relationship could be established... He just repeated that his
friends appeared relatively well before the cleanse, then
dramatically worse afterwards, and deteriorated quickly. He also
admitted that at least one of them had been battling a serious
illness anyway, which prompted the cleanse. (Hmm...)

I am not, by the way, repeating my father's silly story for any other
reason than to explain my frame of mind about this cleanse
(heightened anxiety) and why I'm asking the question of this list.
What sort of physical stress can we expect? What level of
exhaustion and for how long? I admit I'm hoping for reassurance
but any first-hand experience welcome. The product literature
with the cleanse suggests this process should be a breeze and
if my husband were physically stronger I probably wouldn't think
about it twice.
