Cleaning And Detoxifying The Colon
Once you look at the requirements of a good intestinal program, it's easy to see that no one formula or magic pill can accomplish it all.
Thoughts on Enemas and Colonics During an enema, water is inserted into the rectum through a tube, causing the emptying of the lower bowel. Enemas are useful for a quick fix, particularly when you are "temporarily" backed up. However, they only flush loose fecal matter in the lower part of the colon, and they do nothing to restore normal functioning to the colon.
A colonic is a type of enema that injects large amounts of water, under controlled pressure, through the rectum and high into the colon for cleansing purposes. Some treatments add ingredients to the water, such as peroxide, herbs, or coffee, to bolster the cleansing action. Think of the colonic as a powered enema—it still only captures loose fecal matter, but goes higher into the colon and is more thorough.
Colonics do work to flush loose waste and sediment from rectum and lower intestine, but they have several drawbacks. They can actually weaken bowel muscles over time. Colonics don't draw toxins from bowel pockets or from tissue. They do, however, flush all bacteria out—the good as well as the bad. Colonics can also disrupt natural pH (acid/alkaline) balance. Finally, you run the risk that some water retained in the equipment from another patient's previous use may be injected into your colon. Although the equipment is designed to prevent this, a sloppy operator can negate these mechanisms. Yech!
However, if you are so inclined, periodic colonics are not necessarily a bad thing. They can definitely improve your health and sense of well-being. Regular colonics, on the other hand, may be too much of a good thing."
