The concept of colon cleanse depends on the presence of auto-intoxication due accumulation of putrefied fecal matter lining the walls of the large intestine which starts harboring disease causing pathogens as a result of which toxins are produced day and night producing non-specific disease symptoms leading to increased ill health finding no relief with traditional medications.
Auto-intoxication was well accepted by the medical fraternity from the last period of nineteenth century and continued till early part of twentieth century. As a consequence of advances in medical science there was presence of no evidence suggesting existence of auto-intoxication hence its belief started waning out in the medical practitioners circle.
All this has not diminished the belief of general public and the auto-intoxication concept is being aggressively promoted by practitioners of alternative medicine as well as companies promoting their herbal supplements for colon cleansing effect through the internet and other publicity media. The distributors of companies following direct selling channel are selling these supplements through their door to door campaigns.
