A while back I saw on TV where you could wash out our colon or intestines. Does!

Answers:
Please don't waste your money,colonics,are procedures where a tube is inserted in the rectum and an amount of water usually 5-10 gallons of water are pumped through the large intestine.They deplete good bacteria in the bowel,setting you up for a risk of a bad baterial overgrowth and even infection if the equipment is not properly sterilized.If you want to maximize colon health start eating more organic fruits and vegetables,avoid wheat which is like a glue that sticks to your intestinal wall,and drink enough water,take a probiotic supplement to replace beneficial flora in the gut.If you have problems with constipation the natural herb senna gives gentle relief.As the previous poster said,colonics and enemas are only for medical procedures and not meant to "cleanse" you of anything.

Colon cleansing is not necessary. Not only does colon cleansing provide no benefit, it can be downright dangerous. Contrary to popular belief, the inside of the colon -- the end of the large intestine -- isn't dirty and does not need to be cleaned out. Mother Nature does that on her own by making sure that waste passes through and out of your body, taking impurities with it. There is no medical reason whatsoever for having a cleansing enema. Enemas are only for treating stubborn constipation and for preparing the colon for a test (for example, a barium enema) or for surgery. If you want to flush out impurities from your body, have another glass of water instead.

Well, I've gone to Thailand twice for professional colonic cleansing - mostly due to the fact that the resort is in an idyllic little part of the world, but I returned for a second round because I felt like an 8 year old after the first time! (in other words: it was fabulous) I will post the website below, but there are many more available from which to choose. And, I do recommend doing it at least once in your lifetime.
I arrived exhausted, burned-out, and needing a vacation. I left with unsurpassed energy, clear skin, sparkling (and lighter-in-color) eyes, feeling completely revitalized in body, mind, and soul.
The second time was not nearly as amazing as the first, however. I don't want to go into the details too much here, but suffice it to say, the testimonials you can find on the site would all be what I have experienced. It is not like basic **** - it's like something that, once seen, one realizes "Yeah, that should have come out of my body." (think: black rubber)
And, after the first 11 days of fasting and twice-a-day colonics, plus an extravagant list of other pleasures - such as greeting the day with a yoga-on-the-beach session; followed by a two-hour whole body Thai massage in an open-sided teak bungalow with fresh sea breezes wafting in; or a 1 hour foot massage and refloxology session, followed by a body mud scrub and steam bath; followed by a facial; followed by another 2-hour Thai massage treatment; followed by a Reiki session on a mountaintop; followed by a long mountain hike; followed by a glass of fresh coconut water served from the coconut.followed by an hour of quiet soul-searching meditation as the sun goes down.followed by a long night of sleeping perfectly peacefully.followed by another day of the same.
