Answer
Eva,

I wrote an article entitled "Forget those Crystals" and it is on my blog at www.docsaleeby.blogspot.com for your review.  Essentially Colon cleansing via oral methods or by high colonics should be reserved for the very ill and/or for preparations for colonoscopy.  I do not recommend this type of  therapy for those that are well or trying to use this as a method for continued wellness.  High fiber foods and plenty of clean water in your diet should suffice to give you regular BMs.
