    Now it may easily turn out that all the spots that appear _are_ in fact
    insignificant. But it is still a very good idea to be aware of them; to
    not ignore them. And, to take preventive action where possible.

    Preventative action?? Like what??

    I don't know about enemas, and I don't know if you mean colon irrigation
    when you say "flushes". Here is what I wrote much earlier regarding colon
    irrigation, and it still stands:

    I think that it could have a role as a complementary therapy, within a
    wider health/ alt health framework, as a preventative (read deterrent, if
    that is preferable). To be of value, it would need to be used in
    conjunction with diet, exercise, and whatever supplements and other
    components of the health program.

    Repeating the above does not make it true. It is again noted that Toby
    does not offer any objective evidence that colon irrigation has more
    positives than negatives when used in conjunction within a wider alt
    health framework. She simply believes that it is useful. Actually she
    just says that it "could" have a role so I guess even she is not real
    sure of what if anything flushes will do.

    I wonder if Jan, Rod, Gymmie, Toby, et al think that washing their skin more
    frequently would prevent certain skin cancers? Do anything that vigorous
    washing of skin cancer lesions would cure, treat, or slow their spread?

    I guess they just don't see the forest for the feces.

    In all seriousness, I would not even suggest this possibility to them.
    I could just see them spending hours washing and scrubbing themselves
    to get rid of all the toxins, bacteria and other "yukky" stuff they
    cannot even see.

    You see there are people who suffer from a disorder called OCD that
    often engage in compulsive hand washing. Some wash and scrub so
    compulsively that they scrape off the protective layer of skins, get
    terrible infections that can result in life threatening situations.

    Chronic worrying/anxiety can make people do very strange things to
    relieve that anxiety. Anxiety can be worse than physical pain
    resulting in people going to extraordinary lengths to get rid of it.
    Anxiety/depression can manifest with physical symptoms that again
    result in people taking extraordinary and often foolish means to get
    rid of it. We see many of these types of people post regularly in this
    newsgroup.

    Aloha,

    Rich
