Phospho-Soda for Colon Cleansing: Benefits, Risks & How To Use

Colon toxicity occurs when a buildup of fecal matter in the colon begins to poison the body. Proponents of colon cleansing, including Dr. Edward F. Group III, believe regular colon cleansing combined with a constipation preventing diet maintains optimum colon health and improves your overall well being. Phospho soda is available as an over-the-counter supplement for colon cleansing, and must be taken with large amounts of clear liquid to prevent dehydration.
