Yeah, 3 days is the same timeframe that I heard. The one absolute fact that I agree with is that colon cleansing is HUGE business, and any fringe fad like that should be greeted with a great deal of...

This is true... but going back to the naysayers, the colon regenerates its cells on a very regular basis, so it always stays healthy.

But it's simply not as functionally sound as it was, which...

In the mid-90s, I heard about the concept of a "Colon Cleansing Bootcamp." Here's how it was described to me at a fitness seminar:

Sounds vaguely familiar... I think my little brother used to watch it when he was a kid. He watched a lot of Nickelodeon, so check on the line-up from Pinwheel and/or other shows from that era.

I'm sure you do have experience, but giving/seeking wholesale advice about such a complex subject as hormonal modification on an Internet forum is probably not a wise idea.
