JerryParticipantI’m looking for information from individuals rather than from the Colonic clinics. I have read what they have to offer and was interested in knowing if these benefits actually work. The benefits as stated from a web site: Colon cleansing can provide relief from maladies such as colds and flu, constipation, diarrhea, breath and body odors, fatigue, headaches, sinusitis, allergies, hemorrhoids, weight problems, digestive difficulties, back and muscle aches, knee pain, poor eyesight, poor memory, stress, and the list goes on and on. If any of the above actually helped you, how long did it take to notice the change?

NinkasiParticipantI have no experience with colonic irrigation but have read numerous medical articles that point out that irrigating the colon is not only unnecessary but potentially dangerous. The lower intestine sloughs dead cells every day, so unless you have diverticulosis, nothing is going to get trapped in the colon. Also, irrigation can cause the colon to rupture. In my opinion, I’d stay away from it.

OnewandaParticipantI’m really trying to wrap my brain around how watering the colon will cure poor eyesight. What’s the old saying? “If it sounds too good to be true, it is.”
I’d speak with a trusted medical professional about the risks as well as any benefits that may be had from that procedure. If you are too embarrassed to ask your doctor, there’s another reason not to do it.

AlyParticipantI am not a colon hydrotherapist, but I have been getting colonics for more than 12 years. Despite what medical professionals claim, the colon does build up waste material, and in my experience these treatments are phenomenally beneficial for detox purposes. After my first treatment I watched my diet for a week, increasing fiber intake. A week later I had my second colonic, and within that week’s time lost 12 pounds — simply from waste material. I did not fast or starve myself. I do not know that my eyesight has improved, or any of that sort of thing. But I can assure you that it has given me relief from bouts of constipation and given me increased energy and an overall sense of wellness. The cleansing process normally takes 45 minutes, and right afterward I replace the good bacteria by taking acidophilus tablets and other minerals, including potassium. It is a perfectly safe procedure, and one I recommend highly.
