Are colonics beneficial in any way?!


Question: Are colonics beneficial in any way.?
Answers:
It really depends on who you talk to.. Some claim its wonderful and necessary, while others say its a complete waste of time and money..

I tend to think the latter is true.. The body is a wonderful, self-regulating organism if we just give it the right tools to do so! With a colonic you are upsetting the delicate balance of good vs bad bacteria in the colon in addition to being invasive.. You also have to remember that a colonic is not a cure all for anything and it is not a "fast" way to detox..

If you are wanting to detox it is going to take time and energy on your part.. Begin by eliminating all processed and artificial food from your diet.. This in a of itself will be a great help in lifing the burden from your body! Take fiber regularly with bentonite clay.. This will help move things along and absorb toxins..

Again, this will take time.. You didn't get this toxic in just a week or two, you wont get better in the same amount of time!Health Question & Answer

No........In fact they can disturb your electrolyte balances if done too often.. I think that people who claim benefits are just happy with the feeling of blowing a bunch of stuff out of their butt.. It is all part of a placebo effect.. As for your colon having large amounts of undigested food etc.. that is completely false.. Your digestive system is entirely self regulating - just leave things alone.. As for "detoxing" your system......another load of crap......there is no such thing - its just another way for people to sell you a product or service you DO NOT NEED..Health Question & Answer
