Cleaning Out The Pipes
There are few more uncomfortable feelings than having to defecate, and there are few better feelings than the relief that comes with dropping the kids off at the pool. I suppose that’s why it’s called “relieving” yourself. Taking this positive feeling of being “clean” after going to the bathroom to the next level with colonic irrigation. Some alternative health practitioners promote colonic irrigation, or colon hydroptherapy, as an untapped source of well-being in the modern world.
Colonic irrigation is a process where a disposable plastic tube is put up your butt and warm water is shot up into your colon. A colon hydrotherapist uses a gentle massage technique to help loosen stubborn fecal matter, and after several seconds or a few minutes, the water and crap drains from your colon out of a second tube. Sometimes to add a little holistic twist, herbs or coffee are added to the water during a colonic. A single session lasts 30-45 minutes, depending upon how much poop you have stored up. The process is usually repeated several times in one session, and most colon hydrotherapists insist that it takes several visits to undo a lifetime of impacted bowels. It costs about an average of $150 or more per session to have colon hydrotherapy, so if it’s the route you choose, be prepared to pay. Or you could go the cheap route and buy a kit online to do the procedure yourself.
Enemas and extensive cleansing of the colon date back to ancient Egyptian times. It was once believed that disease started in the colon, and that if food particles or fecal matter remained stagnant in the colon, it would rot and cause disease. Proponents of colonic irrigation claim that a certain amount of the food we eat does not pass through our anus as waste, but rather sits in our colon and leads to disease or improper digestion or constipation.
The reality is, colonic irrigations are most likely unnecessary. The lining of the colon is shed and regenerated each day, so it’s not possible for food to get caught there. Some people go all the time, more than once a day. Other people might go a few days without ever having to sit on a toilet but are still perfectly healthy. Sometimes constipation does cause a problem, but it’s much more healthfully (and comfortably) solved if you improve your diet, such as by adding more fiber and liquids. Whenever someone offers you the one-stop cure-all for your health problems, you should probably run out the door. The conversation should go like this: “Do you feel tired when you wake up for work in the morning?” “Yes.” “Then you need a colonic irrigation!” “Bye!”
There are also several risks associated with colonic irrigation. You don’t need to be a doctor to perform the procedure, so the training any hydrotherapist gets is unlikely to be regulated. If the tubing, water, or any other equipment isn’t sterile, it could cause serious infection or disease. If the hydrotherapist isn’t properly trained, you could be injured in the process, and no one wants their ass torn wide open. Even if the tube is inserted correctly, it can cause pain or cramping. After all, your intestine and colon were designed to push things out, not to be filled with incoming water. There is also a risk of bowel perforation, where a hole is punctured in the colon or large intestine. That can be a life threatening injury. The procedure will also kill off beneficial intestinal flora that are in your colon, so after each colonic irrigation treatment, you have to take acidophilus to reinstate this balance. The more you irrigate, the more intestinal flora you kill and the longer you leave your insides unprotected. It can take up to two weeks, maybe even longer, to restore this balance by taking acidophilus every day. Your call, but I’d keep the tube out of my ass to begin with. Most doctors recommend the same thing.

Hi, all good sense. Keep it up and let’s hope you become popular enough to reach more people, most of whom are getting conned by health scams on a a daily basis one way or another.
well done Roger D
There are alternative ways of doing a colon cleanse…Psyllium husk and some other powders you can mix with juice, will have a really great effect on getting stuff out that is stuck.
Some of the fats, oils and horrendously unhealthy things we put in our bodies, actually Does stick and begins to clog in our intestines, not allowing us to absorb the full nutritional value of the foods we Do need to stay balanced.
Aerobic Bulk Cleanse is my favorite product but you can get cheaper versions of psyllium husk powder from any health food store.
I agree with every reader, why the offensive language???? It doesn’t get the point across any better. This article was superb, and as a nurse, oh so true, too. Keep up the good work, just clean up your words.
Delightful down to earth approach. Agree: Colonic irrigation not the way to deficate.
Being a person with extensive medical background, I was glad.d to see this article. It can be very dangerous. Changing your diet is much more intellegent. I can not believe the high cost!
I concur with the previous author, WELL DONE!! I thought it was interesting, educational, and entertaining- I frankly thought that your choice of words helped to grab and keep the readers attention. Further, I always thought those colonics sounded “pretty shitty”!!!
I had heard about herbal vagina “enema” and tried that a few times over 12 years ago in the bathtub. I didn’t notice any benefit. I have since read that it’s best to let it cleanse on it’s own, naturally. I have read that eating alot of raw fruits and vegetables is the greatest way to keep everything working at it’s BEST! And plenty of water, 8 glasses a day is recommended.
i think that what thise website does is amazing becuase i think first there giving us advise on our health witchis great so if your no satisfied leave thise sight and go find another.
I like your newsletters,they are straight forward and easy to understand. No one needs a college degreeto know what you are talking about.I look forward to reading your newsletters. Keep the good work up! Oh, and I like the tought of humor you add the the subject
A lot of CRAP (no pun intended)
There is nothing wrong with the language used in this article. Words used are very appropriate for the subject chosen. If anyone is offended by the expressions, you are free to discontinue reading….
On the subject of “colonics”, even though I think it sounds gross,if gently and properly done may TEMPORARILY help someone with consipation.
Who knows? A lot of people swear by this procedure.
I personally would not do it, but lets not judge to harshly. Like you said the practice had been in place since forever…
Actually,I thought this was another boring form articles published on the net,so I was not so keen on reading it anyway but I did, and found out that it was really a very interesting piece.The language help to drive the message home(or so I think).
Keep up the good work and always keep me posted.I’ll say once agian;Kudos…..
Good article good info language little blunt but we are discussing a ‘potty’ subject so why not use ‘potty humor’. Our bodies come with the ability to cleans and balance themselves it is when we start putting crap into them that problems occur.
Cleaning Out The Pipes, great article. I know people that use the external approach and the internal method. I believe eating correctly is the best route to take. Adding supplements and extra fiber is also very important in today’s world. Keep up the good work.
Bloody gooood!!!!!!
YOU GUYS HAVE AN ANAL FIXATION. CONSULT YOUR SHRINK! YOUR MOUTHS NEED COLONIC IRRIGATION
I cannot for the life of me figure out why there are so many complants about the writer’s choice of words. If i am not mistaken this newsleter is free of charge, so if you dont like it don’t open it, and most certainly DO NOT READ IT !!!!
Anyway this article was great! A friend of mine was just asking about these and i will HAPPILY share the info with him via email. P.S. and i am a doctor
I thought the article was interesting but not complete. We have been doing colonic’s for over 12 years. The doctor we studied under said what ever state your colon is in so goes your health. The price is 50 to 60 dollars. Ten percent of our nutrition we eat goes through the colon wall into the blood stream,and if there is material there instead 24/7 toxins go in. Death begins in the colon. You should have 3 BM aday most people have 1 not good. You eat 3 x aday go 3 x aday. Some states do not require a license now that is scary. Be a plummer one day and colon therapists the next. not.
very good
