a high enema? Kind of a gross topic but I was reading online about digestive issues and came across an article that talks about people having a huge amount of "old" feces in the intestines and colon. OK, that would make sense, but is a "high enama" safe? Is it something that people with intestinal/digestive issues should do??? It sounds a little over the top for me, but wonder if there is any validity to be doing something like that.

Have a doctor do it, it would be safe. You could also just eat some high probiotic yogurt... It's not a good thing to have old waste in your colon.0

I don't know if it is the same thing as colon hydrotherapy but I did that once and lost 8 pounds of gunk. You are supposed to do it a minimum of 3 times to get fully through the intestines, at least that is what I remember them telling me. It is not the cheapest nor most pleasant experiences but I do believe it is a good thing to do now and again to cleanse your system.

You're doing it wrong0

I always thought your intestines were smooth -- unless you're having medical issues. So any poop that is in there will come out eventually. I don't get the whole enema thing honestly.0

A friend of mine had went to the hospital to have her colin cleaned out. She did it just before she started working out again. Her member name is Trish1800. You should look her up as she knows more about this than I do.0

If you want to "cleanse" save the money and what will be a disgusting experience and just eat fruit and veggies for a few days. That will do the trick!0

Normally I'd recommend doing it drunk, but high is probably ok too.0

OK, If you are going regularly, How can you possibly have "old" waste in there?
If you have some other issues like folds in your intestinal tract that are catching stuff you may want to get checked and if hat is the case then you have bigger issues.
In other words, sounds like a load of crap to me....snake oil medicine.0 -

Do you really think that cleaning poo from your colon is going to make you thinner? Even if you lose weight you are not going to lose fat or anything else that is noticable.0

it all sounds like BS. If you had OLD organic waste in your guts, wouldn't your insides be rotting by now? Wouldn't you be dying of septic shock?0

I keep trying to tell everyone that KFC works wonders for cleaning you out, and it's a much more enjoyable experience!!! Zero calorie food when it takes out more than it put in, and in half the time!0
