It might have some basis in fact.  From what I have read and figured
out, DNA has lots of genes that are either turned on or off.  One of the
quickest and easiest methods of causing a gene to switch on or off is
through emotions, which helps explain why different ailments are often
associated with different emotions, and why changing one's thinking can
cause miraculous cures for things like cancer.  It appears that these
switches can also be flipped by environmental factors as well, and can
program things like immunity when continually exposed to a toxin.  So if
you consider the gene's response to emotion by turning on or off as
being "emotions stored in the colon", it does make some sense. And if a
cleanse can restore these switches to their "proper"  or former settings
(which I do not know if it can or not), then what was written above
could actually make some sense.

Consider that when a person receives an organ transplant, they will
often feel the emotions, likes and dislikes of the doner until the
tissue can change it's emotional attachments.  Researchers were shocked
when this first became apparent, yet if you ask a alternative
practicioners you will ususally get a response like "well yeah, of
course", since they are aware of the effect of emotions and subtle
energies on the body.
