what is the purpose of a colonic? Does it really help and how many do you nee!
Question:
Answers:
This is from the Colonic Association website:
"Well, waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time, (i.e. impacted faeces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, worms, etc.), poses several problems. First this material is quite toxic (poisonous). These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. Second, impacted materials impair the colon's ability to assimilate minerals and bacteria- produced vitamins. And finally, a buildup of material on the colon wall can inhibit muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements, constipation, and the result of these disorders."
I have had many and I always feel better afterward. Friends of mine have had dramatic weight loss (12 lbs in one case); that hasn't happened to me, but my waist did get smaller & my clothes looser.

The purpose is to cleanse the lower intestines of matter that has built up, thereby reducing the possibility that it could leak into the blood stream. (In theory) Many people swear by them. You should start to feel better immediately but would have to figure out how many times by going to a qualified professional.
There's absolutely NO scientific proof they help and the procedure also carries a number of risks including infection, rupture and disruption of intestinal flora. If that's not enough, a study in Texas found that not even one practitioner performing this procedure had any medical training at all.
It's to clean out any old, stuck waste from your colon. You feel better after just one: lighter, emptier.
