20 gallons of fluid? Insane. That could cause a lot of damage.

Colon Cleansing- What's Involved?

The theory behind colon cleansing goes something like this: Poisonous

" toxins " get into the body from the foods that you eat, the water you drink,

and the environment you live and work in. Some people believe that removing

those toxins, as well as normal bacteria and stool via the colon, can help

you feel better and improve your body function.

Colon cleansing is also called colonic irrigation or colonic hydrotherapy,

and is sometimes referred to as a " high colonic. " As many as 20 gallons of

fluids are pumped into the colon through a tube that's inserted into the

rectum. Probiotics, herbs, enzymes, and other additives can be used in the

solution, and the whole procedure takes about an hour.

Colon cleansing is nothing new: The ancient civilizations are rumored to

have used it, and 19th-century European spas made it a popular health remedy

thousands of years later.

Colon Cleansing: A Question of Benefits

Many people may consider colon cleansing because they think that it reduces

the risk of colon cancer. However, no studies have shown that colon

cleansings have any benefit at all.

Francisco J. Marrero, MD, a gastroenterologist with the Digestive Disease

Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, says there are no

large, randomized trials that show any benefits of colon cleansing and few

studies on the effects of colon cleansing overall.

Dr. Marrero notes that colon cleansing isn't the true, complete cleansing

that many people may think it is because the procedure only flushes out the

colon, not the small bowel. " The only way to clean out the small bowel is

eating a healthy diet of fruits and veggies, " says Marrero.

But while he's never recommended it to any of his patients, Marrero says

there has been success with some individual cases, and he doesn't discourage

the procedure if it makes a patient feel better.

Colon Cleansing: Factor the Risks

Marrero says there can be complications when instilling a large volume of

water into the colon, including worsening any existing hemorrhoids or

creating a puncture wound in the rectum.

This excessive amount of fluids could potentially lead to:

.. Vomiting and nausea

.. Electrolyte (salt) imbalances

.. Fluid in the lungs

.. Heart problems, including abnormal heart rhythms and death

.. Coma

Another big concern is that many colon cleansing practices aren't regulated

or monitored and not all practitioners are knowledgeable or well trained,

which may increase risks. Unless all equipment is clean and sterile, colonic

irrigation could bring infection into the body.

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, do not undergo colon cleansing if

you have:

.. Crohn's disease

.. Severe or internal hemorrhoids

.. Diverticulitis

.. Ulcerative colitis

.. Colon or rectal tumors

.. Heart disease

.. Kidney disease

Colon Cleansing: A Healthier Alternative

Eating the right foods and following a healthy lifestyle can probably

accomplish the same goal as colon cleansing.

" I think the reason [people] get it is for more of a detoxification, " says

Marrero. " But if you don't 'toxify,' you don't need to detoxify. "

If you want to rid your body of dietary toxins and get a clean start, it

might be a better bet to just change your dietary habits. Your body will

naturally work out the bad foods, especially with the help of fruits and

vegetables to clean out your small bowel. Just be sure that these foods are

well washed so that you don't introduce other types of toxins - chemicals

such as pesticides and fertilizer residues - into your body. Focusing on

eating healthy foods poses no risks and is proven to aid digestive and

overall health.

Thank you very much, but I'll stick with my present cleansing model, which so

happens to be pretty much what the doctor recommended. Plenty of veggies and

fruits, as well as a goodly amount of high fiber foods.
