Colonic irrigation
« on: 16/04/2007 09:44:49 »
Is this complementary? oh well I'll post it here and it can always be moved.

Overhearing people the other day talking about colonic irrigation, i wondered if the is any pr oven benefit to having the treatment?

i have heard it can prevent the colon becoming blocked and as such prevent caner! i very much doubt this and personally think all it does is part gullible people from their money and removes what would have naturally left the body with the next...motion.

is there any evedence of proven medical benefits?

This does refer to the cleaning out of the colon right?

    i have heard of all kind of home kits you can buy and things you can do to do them at home. I do not know the truth as to weather they are really beneficial as they say or not. They being the companies selling these fixes! if you will.
