Colonics
Colonics - this procedure is used to pump water directly into your colon and the water is then extracted back into a machinery.
The experiences a colleague has had has been neutral. Meaning that he felt the stool that was pulled out of his bowel by the use of the machine, could have been extracted by the end of the day by way of normal bowel movement. The feeling of water gushing into the bowel was unimpressive and felt foreign. The best description is like you need to perform a bowel movement. The feeling after the procedure was no better than prior-to. Some patients would feel dizziness since the natural bacteria living in the colon have been flushed out. It can be dangerous to someone performing a colon hydrotherapy with their bowel since the negative bacteria can proliferate due to the lack of a bacterial balance presence in the bowel.
Other dangers include the possibility of penetrating the bowel and causing severe infections in the bowel. This can also be caused by inserting the tube into the rectum. Although many cities now have this procedure available, I would not recommend such a procedure as the facts and statistics supporting its benefits are futile. The possibility of a yeast infection is also present due to the lack of beneficial bacteria in the colon once water has been flushed through the bowel several times. However as always, if you do decide to persue this, do it at your own caution while understanding these warnings.
