My husband is looking to do a 14 day oral supplement that claims to be a colon cleanse treatment. i wanted to get a proper doctors opinion on this, since im uneducated on the mater. is this safe? is this kind of treatment doctor recommended or no?

Colon cleansing: Is not necessary. It is a scam and can actually create problems. Eating a high fiber diet and drinking 80-100 oz caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily is all you need and a whole lot cheaper and safer. Do not waste your money on colon cleansing or risk your health for that matter.
