If you plan to drink a laxative tea for a week, there would be very little point to taking a vitamin. Senna may be an herb, but it's every bit as irritating to your colon as any other laxative would be. If you are constipated, it's one thing- but diarrhea is never anyone's friend. The process would prevent most of the vitamin tablet from being absorbed at all. In order to be absorbed, the tablet has to remain in the system for a little while at least. Colon cleansing isn't necessary anyway- the colon is a self cleaning operation, providing you eat a decent diet. There are no pockets of stuff hanging out- unless you have diverticulitis, in which case diarrhea would be the last thing you'd want – and nothing you eat or drink can leach things like heavy metals out of the body. All you do is hasten the removal of last night's dinner, the helpful bacteria you need for proper digestion, and irritate everything. If you want to take a vitamin tablet for insurance, that's one thing. Along with a decent diet, it's not a bad idea. But the body was designed to get the majority of nutrients from food, not pills, and it has to have a chance to absorb anything to be useful. If I were you, I'd skip the senna and just eat right. If constipation is a problem, best adjust the diet to add more wholegrains and veggies- that to take a laxative at all. Clean your outsides, not your insides, and you'll be a lot healthier.

rafflaw,

I know I made several bad jokes about this but I think there's more going on here. People who work in professional jobs are given the benefit of the doubt all the time. We are taught such people are a priori ethical, intelligent, decent human beings who should be defered to and believed in without question. This idea is widespred in our society despite ample evidence to the contrary (see JT's posts above). It does set up a dangerous situation. No person, by virtue of position should be accorded more respect as a human being than any other person, but we do this regularly. We do it based on income and position. Add to this learned deference the fact that the govt. is pushing a campaign at this time to get tested for colon cancer and it's not impossible to see how this scam worked. We shouldn't minimize people own decisions, (such as investing in Madoff's ponzi scheme), still it's important to understand what social and psychological factors enable such scams to proceed.
