- I don't know, Gordon. I've known alot of people who were full of shit
- and needed a major colon cleaning. ;-) You're right though, there
- is absolutly no reason that this would be necessary or even advisable...

- Cleaning the colon would tend to make the problem worse, since
- the irritation of the colon would make it easier for the remaining
- parasites. Now, if you irrigated the colon with concentrated nitric
- acid or sodium hypochlorite, you just might be able to get rid of
- the parasites (and your colon). ;-).

- Eating hot (HOT!!) spicey food tends to make you more comfortable in
- hot, humid climates.
