I was hanging out with a friend today who is very open to alternative medicine practices and is currently on a “vacation from solid food (VSF)” or “juice feast.” She is planning on doing this for 92 days (!!!) to remove mucoid plaque. This was all news to me, but I have a feeling you might have heard of mucoid plaque before. I can’t tell if this is an actual thing or some sort of flat earth conspiracy. Is this a real thing?
Thanks,
Lindsey
Flat earth conspiracy type of thing
These may help..

They all said no, never. I asked if i could witness this for myself and over the next few days, they let me witness several colonoscopies and took picture of others they had done on patients who had serious disease to show me. Nothing. I asked if I could have the pictures if I took the patients name off of them and they agreed. I still have them. I used to have them posted on my website, with a discussion about this, and can put the picture back up (i would have to see if I can find the discussion). This include pictures of colons with all kinds of bowel problems including polyps, diverticulosis, IBD, cancer, ulceration, etc and while you can see these pathologies, there is not one drop of mucoid plaque anywhere.
Someone, who sold one of these expensive 3 month detox programs, responded to this once telling me that the reason these colons all looked so clean was because they all had to have the colonoscopy cleansing (or a laxative) solution the night before. I said, well it is true that they do have to take a cleansing solution the day before but based on the colonoscopies I have seen and the picture of them, this cleansing solution left all the colons spotless. This means the simple cleansing (or laxative) solution works much better (and is way cheaper) then your expensive 90 day cleansing solution. It worked miraculously overnight!
There are over 10 million colonoscopies done every year in the USA. No one has ever documented pounds (let alone any amount) of this mucoid plaque present in the colon or coming out from the cleansing solution.
