Answer to question about colon cleansing

[Guest guest]

A colon cleanse is really nothing to worry about. It is simply

flushing your colon with water from the rectum. I did not experience

any side effects from this procedure, and I've had it done several

times. However, I will say that the very first time I had it done, I

had been fasting for 3 days, and when it was all over, I had some

tingling in my extremities, which I found odd, but it only lasted about

a minute or so, and the tech said that kind of response was normal for some people. I was fine.

I have a friend who did several colonics when she bought a package

deal, and she ended up with way too much water in her and it appears

she had some type of retention problem because her ankles swelled up.

She was the only one I heard of who had any type of issue with a

colonic. I don't know the full story on what happened to her...I believe she went to the emergency room for assistance with the water retention. She is fine today...but I doubt she has done any more colonics.If you look up "benefits of colon cleanse" on a search engine, you will find much info, such as this:The purpose of a colonic procedure is to remove toxic material, relieve intestinal stress, stimulate intestinal muscle function, reconditioning of intestinal muscles and elimination. Healthy colons move and act much like they are beating dough. The movement should be twenty-two beats per minute to process the waste food through the colon.

With colon irrigation, your sense of well being is often dramatically improved.

You feel lighter and more energetic. The body can again take nourishment from

food and defend itself against disease. Natural peristalsis, tone and regularity

are restored and many serious diseases may be averted through this gentle,

sterile, scientific technique. If you do not have a movement for each meal you eat, then you need

help

to get your system in shape. The quickest improvement for those having colonics

is their energy level. They are not as tired as prior to colonics. Next the skin

condition is improved. Other benefits are better assimilation of nutrients, less

body odour and bad breath, and less belly distension.

The importance of keeping our body clean inside as well as out cannot be over

emphasized. You will not be able to secure good health unless, number one, you

clean out your system, and these systems can't be cleaned out if the main drain

is sluggish or plugged up. Our colon is the main drain and if you could see what

has come out of people's unhealthy colons, you would hardly believe it. In

autopsies on colons, seventy percent of the bodies had encrusted faecal matter

and worms and impaction in the colon.

If you think your colon is clean because of your bowel habit, let's

consider a

few more facts. Out of one hundred people, there may be one or two not having

matter lining the walls and pockets of the colon. Of the other ninety-eight,

there are probably fifty who have some very heavy encrustments in the colon; of

the other forty-eight, about half will have up to eight pounds of matter lining

the colon, and the other half will have up to five pounds.

Colonics will not only tell you if you have parasites but also help to remove them. Some symptoms of parasites can include restless

sleeping, fatigue, poor assimilation

and absorption of nutrients, food cravings (especially for sugars and breads),

as well as an inability to feel satisfied after a large meal.

Colonic will also help improve the

beneficial bacteria in your bowel. Even though some good and bad bacteria will be washed out during the session, it is much easier for the body to reproduce beneficial bacteria after a session when bad bacteria and waste have been reduced.

If you tried it once, you know why so many people love it, the benefits outweigh any concerns that you might have. It is absolutely safe and a surprisingly pleasant procedure if done by a well trained holistic practitioner.

P.S. If you have any doubts about the self-healing power of your body,

consult your naturopath or health practitioner for advise!
