I asked a simple question and got back an answer that was stunning in its… um, ignorance?
I had gone to a site called coloncleansingproducts.com to look into the matter of stuff hanging around in your large colon so long that it stuck to the walls and “decayed.” This is a common claim from the colonics people. I have had a colonoscopy and have seen the inside of my own colon, and it’s quite pink and clean as a whistle. I asked the doc whether this is what colons look like inside. He said yes. I asked him if there was stuff in there that’s packed onto the walls and is decaying. He said that never happens, or else if it does happen, it’s a major disease state, but it’s rare.
On this site, there was a product called CleanSonix. On the writeup for this CleanSonix, they claimed that the average person has up to 8 undigested meals decaying in their stomach. (Go to the site and see for yourself.) I found this a bit unbelievable, so I wrote to customer service at coloncleansingproducts.com.
After reading their reply, I am at a loss for words.
Below is the exchange. Read it from the bottom up.
You can search all of the ingredients for the product. For that other information I cannot disclose that as it is proprietary information.

Your writeup on Cleansonix says that the average person has up to 8 undigested meals decaying in their stomach. Can you provide me with medical references for this, please, or other evidence-based references for this? I am curious as to how this happens.
Thanks.
