Ok, so I'm watching the late night scamfomercials....has anyone spotted the elusive mucoid plaque/rope? Anyone...

Members don't see this ad.
 
Are you talking about the colon cleanser ad? That ad is, to use a pun, completely full of ****.

They attributed John Wayne's death in part to having many pounds of stool in his colon. Well, the stool in his colon was probably from the colon cancer and the opiates he was on for pain, ****heads.

Is that the one with the guy promoting some kind of coral calcium and looks as though he just got kicked out of the porn industry?

That's the one I was referring to. His name is "Klee" or something silly like that, and he does have a pornstache.
 
Yes, the John Wayne and Elvis autopsy stories.

Fell asleep before I saw how much he was hawking his products for...I bet he is making a killing ...how could you not... when, regardless of scientific evidence, you you can sell a product that induces a result (mucoid rope) in those (healthy or not) who takes your product.

Got to give it up for the pornstar.....
 
Anyone else besides Yaah and Patholog calling Bulls**t.

To play devil's advocate in support of the pornstar...I once did a junior high experiment with psyllium where the gel conformed to the shape of the containers, but I didn't name it and try to sell it......guess I missed my moment for money, immortality or to be professed a child genius or something.
 
I don't think he ever says how much it costs - you have to call and find out.

What gets me is that he talks about how people LITERALLY (literally!) have fecal materal "caked to the inside" of their intestines, and how his miracle all natural laxative (sorry, it's NOT a laxative!) will remove it and you will instantly feel better. No ****, really? Give anyone a laxative, they have a horrific dump, and they feel better. It's an autonomic response to dumping.

In all the autopsies I have done, yes, there is often fecal material in the colon, but it almost always washes out very easily. Nothing is "caked on." And these are sick people.

Here - I googled it!

Dubious Claims

The rationale for Dual Action Cleanse appears to be based the outdated theory of "autointoxication," which states that stagnation of the large intestine (colon) causes toxins to form that are absorbed and poison the body. Some quackery promoters depict the large intestine as a "sewage system" that becomes a "cesspool" if neglected. Other proponents state that constipation causes hardened feces to accumulate for months (or even years) on the walls of the large intestine and block it from absorbing or eliminating properly. This, they say, causes food to remain undigested and wastes from the blood to be reabsorbed by the body. However, direct observation of the colon during surgical procedures or autopsies found no evidence that hardened feces accumulate on the intestinal walls. Here are some of the Web site claims followed by my comments in brackets:
Dual Action Cleanse "is formulated to maximize one's elimination without causing loose stools or uncomfortable cramping via frequent healthy bowel movements while assisting in cleansing the vital organs and lymphatic system." (The fiber and laxative ingredients probably soften and increase the bulk of the stool, which might be helpful to some people and annoying to others. However, such ingredients do not "cleanse" vital organs or the lymphatic system.)
Total Body Purifier will "support all your body's organs, including filtering organs that keep you toxin free, like the liver and kidneys." (No herb or herbal combination "supports all body organs." Nor does either product improve liver or kidney function.)
Colon Clear Formula will "Unclog your colon and to stay light, clean and toxin free inside." (Real clogging of the colon (intestinal obstruction) would be a reason to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.)
"Cleansing is the first step in a good weight-management program." (Increasing stool bulk, softness, or frequency will not produce significant weight loss.)
"Cleansing often results in weight loss due to elimination of built up fecal matter." (As noted above, "built up fecal matter" is a quack notion.)
"Cleansing can help improve the assimilation of essential nutrients through a well-balanced healthy eating plan." (Increasing stool bulk, softness, or frequency will not increase nutrient absorption.)
"The key objective of an internal cleanse is to support your body's natural ability to have 2-3 bowel movements a day, and to release accumulated toxins in the colon while assisting with overall vital organ health. You can expect less bloat, less water retention, improved energy and vitality." (The fiber and laxative ingredients probably increase stool frequency. However, as noted above, the idea that toxins accumulate is a quack notion.)
Once you have started the detoxifying process you may notice enhanced digestion, better elimination, healthier hair, skin, and nails along with increased energy and less bloat. (Increasing the fiber content of the diet might decrease bloating in some people and increase it in others. However, there is no reason to believe that the product will enhance digestion; improve the health of the hair, skin, and nails; or increase the user's energy.)
Dual Action Cleanse "has changed hundreds of thousands of people's lives through gentle and effective whole body safe and effective internal cleansing." (I find it difficult to believe that the company has sufficient follow-up data to support this claim.)
 
Have you ever heard of the "liver flush"?
Drink a whole bottle of lemon juice, Epsom salts and olive oil - it'll cleanse your bowels (i.e. make you poop "stones" - it is estimated that each of us have on average 2000 stones waiting to be passed.)

Google THAT.

I get it...sort of a poor man's ACTIGALL. Kids, don't try this at home.

What about the lemonade fast? Supposed to eliminate toxins-- lemons, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Called the 'Master Cleanse'. For one week to a month.

http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/bowel/master_cleanse.asp

They want you to follow-up the lemonade fast with a "liver flush" and "probiotics enema". "Cures all that ails you"....
Oh Boy....let me bury my head again ...step 3 in one week.

The fact that the webpage describing it also has a picture of an american flag is absolutely fantastic.

I cannot believe that the american public cannot see through these *****s and their obvious money grabbing plea. For some reason, their cries of "conspiracy theory" are taken as credible, yet the simple fact that a strange looking man with a pornostache is circulating rumors of threads in your colon, cleaning your colon as the solution to health problems, etc, and that his methods are being banned or stifled by "authorities" is not considered suspect? :rolleyes: People are sheep.

A relative of mine was very proud of herself for completing the Liver Flush. So relax. It's not just Americans.

Just eat a big bowl of salad...

It'll clean ya right out man..
 
Thanks for the blog link, my friend, but posting just so you can advertise your blog isn't allowed. See you later.

I wonder, did this person get sucked into the colon cleansing and only after using it figure out it was garbage - and THEN go nuts with the blog? You see, the key is, don't listen to infomercials! If something was really good it would be mainstream - there are no conspiracies in this country - if something is effective people will make money off of it legitimately.
 
Isn't it the product that's the scam, and mucoid plaque is real?

If anything, this just proves that more people should read SDN... and I always thought that huckster looked like John Water's cachectic cousin...

Mucoid plaque is, in fact, demonstrated in the conventional medical literature, but MDs are not trained to recognize it. The following blog will show you the scientific evidence of its existance: http://mucoidplaque.blogspot.com/
 
poo-poo in == poo-poo out.

I'll stick with Stephen Barrett's assessment... he's a righteous dude!

"I have seen several thousand intestinal biopsies and have never seen any [thick mucus-like substance that builds up on the intestinal walls as the body attempts to protect itself from various toxic substances]. This is a complete fabrication with no anatomic basis."

Oh no, we're becoming pawns in the mucoid plaque wars. Where's yaah with his spambusting kit?

I believe the reason people get sucked into this is simple. People are stupid. They believe lies because they want to believe its true. Got that from a book I just finished reading (Wizard's First Rule) instead of studying for step 1. I generally find it true that most people are stupid. :laugh:

I was away - banned now though. For reference, you can always hit that little triangle with the exclamation point in it to report the post, someone will see if it warrants action.
 
Lol! This is a great thread. So recently I was having dinner with a relative who got duped into something like this. It wasn't the porn-stache dual action cleanse guy, but somehow she has it in her head that we all have parasites and that she is much healthier now that she has completed a parasite cleanse. She claims to have passed a few tapeworms and even a little fish with legs. Anyone have any idea what's really going on with her?
 
I'm very skeptical about mucoid plaque. What I don't understand is why a researcher doesn't do one of the cleanses, test the "mucoid plaque" and prove what it's made of. It seems like it would be easy to prove if what came out of you was the ingredients of the cleans, or some sort of "toxins."

Has anyone on here heard of such a study?

Wow. Sorry pal. Looks like your not much of an inventor.
If something was good it would already be mainstream... Sounds a lot like Henry Ellsworth.
 
To all the haters: I used betonite and psyllium without ever hearing about mucoud plaque. I had a few poops that were all tied together. Since I had never seen this before I googled it and saw the closest thing was mucoid plaque. So anyway I kept taking it and it turned out the betonite psyllium came out the same way it went in, normal and thick. None of the mucoid plaque looking stuff came out. So the plaque only came out the first couple days then the mixture magically went back to normal? I don't think so. Mucoid plaque is real.

I'm a little fuzzy on the details because I read this story several years ago from a blog one of my husband's more distant relatives was keeping about her "cancer."

Apparently this individual has some cystic pancreatic lesion that could not be easily resected because it was wrapped partially around her aorta (or something). And, apparently, the biopsy(ies?) could not definitely categorize it as benign or malignant (not sure if this is just due to inability to sample the whole thing or what). So, after wasting an asston of money that her friends, family and co-workers to raised her behalf to pay for some sort of expensive "natural" alternative to warfarin that didn't work particularly well, she was trying to convince some quack doctor to give her "intravenous pancreatic enzyme therapy" (WTF?!?). I guess these pancreatic enzymes are supposed to magically find your cancer and digest it - then, in order to "clear out" all of the necrotic debris from this super-effective cancer fighting regime, you have to have frequent coffee enemas...Since she clearly did not have pancreatic adenocarcinoma, I believe the few "doctors" she approached that offered this "therapy" refused to treat her.

After Googling it today, I think she might have been trying to get some variation of the "Gonzalez protocol" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10368805
 
There is some dude out there who thinks you can cure all cancer with baking soda. Heard someone talking about it and it is out there.

I mean really, give me a ****ing break. If you could really cure cancer with baking soda do you really think thousands of people would die every year because "BIG PHARMA" and "BIG HOSPITAL" are trying to suppress it? What a joke!
