You have other medical issues you need to have checked out if you have food staying in your systems for years and years. If your food isn't being digested properly you have an issue.
There's an ad on the radio for some product that talks about the "pounds of toxic waste and sludge" in your system that needs to be "cleaned out".
How come none of the thousands of autopsies done over the past century or so have found "pounds of toxic waste and sludge" in cadavers? I think this ridiculous belief goes back to some quack claims in the 19th century.
I had to clean myself out prior to my last colonoscopy. How come "pounds of toxic waste and sludge" didn't come out, and the doctor didn't comment on the "pounds of toxic waste and sludge" he saw on the scope when he was up in there?
Good Lord, I can't believe the complete and utter garbage people buy into.8 -

No reason to do this either unless medically necessary.
And by "medically necessary" I don't mean by eating imaginary toxins.
Exactly.
My mom has Crohn's also. She is in remission these days but still has to have regular colonoscopies. It really is no fun and I don't understand why people would willingly do that to themselves.0 -

You should watch Penn and Tellers show "*kitten*" they have an episode where they debunk the health claims. Very insightful. Best wishes0

That reason was covered in the enemas thread!

colonic hydrotherapy? So like...shooting saline up your butt? I suppose there would be some shortterm weightloss associated with that sure. Don't think it would do very much for your health.
Not sure about cost. I mean you could probably put a hose in your rectum for free get the same effect.3 -
Did anybody see that episode of Impractical Jokers where the lady said she loves colonics? She wasn't ashamed either. She signed the release.0

Grr. I can't find that exact clip, but I think it was in Season 2, Episode 6.1 -

Exactly. I don't have to try it to know it's bogus. All I have to do is research for half an hour.0 -

Why would anyone do these things to themselves? You would need to pay me an awesome sum in order to even consider it for a second before saying no.0

Oh dear lord, I just got a chance to read the entire thread - hilarious!
I do understand why the idea of cleansing could be so appealing to some. If you think about it, the sludge we eliminate is pretty disgusting and is associated with all kinds of negative symbolism. Centuries of folk medicine says flush it out for a cleaner, healthier body. You can see the result with your own eyes!
The science that refutes this theory hasn't been around all that long, comparatively, and isn't generally discussed and supported on the popular talk shows, because let's face it there isn't much profit associated with telling people not to buy stuff. And snake-oil sells, whether it's Dr. Smith's Cure-All Tonic (proven to have cured REAL PEOPLE at the brink of death) or relief from the "rotting poop" clogging up your intestines. Check this out. It was the first thing that came up when I googled "colonics": Horrifying.

Legit science can be hard for people to access when it's buried in all the popular crap-science (ha!) hype. Most people who do cleanses aren't going to read articles based on peer-reviewed papers by people they're never heard of. They're going to listen to people like Dr. Oz (he's a real Dr., right?) because there he is front and center in their living rooms telling them what they want to hear (proven to have cured REAL PEOPLE) - same old snake oil, same old scare tactics, same old predators.
As someone said above, it makes me sick.1 -

I'm pretty sure the entire point of being a sapient species is the ability to know that it's a bad idea to lick an electrical socket without actually needing to lick an electrical socket to learn that.8 -
I love colon hydrotherapy! It is so refreshing to get that suits out LOL.
It is not a miracle cure for anything. Most people do not have much accumulated waste and have no reason to do it aside from the rapid absorption of water makes you feel a little high.
That said...
I take meds that slow my bowel to a crazy degree. To avoid dependency I basically never use stimulants. Fibre supplements make it worse even though I drink literally a gallon of water and day. Prunes I eat because they are tasty but do not seem to help and PEG makes me nauseated so I can only use it for short periods.
Using fleet enemas clears up the rectum but nothing else. Fleet oral is useful on occasion but can mess with your electrolytes. Same with Pico salax. One of my meds makes me highly susceptible to electrolyte imbalances so thats out much of the time. And they are all so salty I sometimes vomit.
Enter colonics. The person who owns the place I go to is a 20 year friend of mine. The piece that touches you is sterile and disposable. The toilet chair is disinfected before every use. The first time I went I had thrown my whole arsenal at the problem to no avail. I could feel a mass up in my hepatic flexure. So off I went and alternately filled then emptied and eventually dislodged something the size of an orange that got stuck in the outlet pipe and took a while to flush through.
Now that I have thoroughly grossed you out you can see that in rare cases it is a miracle cure. Cheers!

Yeah...
This is still not advisable for the general population looking to lose weight.0
