colonic irrigation?

[squirtle]

Can anyone share their experiances of colonic irrigation please as I am considering having the treatment.

You need mental irrigation.

I understand that this may not be as good for you as some devotees suggest.

Your digestive system includes a complex system of enzymes and bacteria which help the body to digest food and excrete waste correctly. Flushing away impurities will also flush away this bacteria, which may lead to an inbalance in your system.

Get some advice from your GP before you embark on this. An opinion from someone with appropriate knowledge and no commercial gain to make will be worthwhile.

I have had this done before and I did not find it bad but not sure if it did me any good. I know there are mixed reviews about the benefits of this but I feel that surely one flush out now and again must be good for the system. I was quite nervous but the experience was not that bad - during it I did worry I was kinda going to explode all over the lady who was carrying out the procedure but now that I know that does not happen I feel I would not worry about doing it again. I might do it again - basically I feel if you want to try it you should try for yourself.

as my friend said.. "humiliating, yet refreshing"!

[ACtheTROLL]

you have a very apt name for the question

agree with squad and andy ... there are reasons for needing one (practical pre-treatment medical ones)

god didn't make hot water bottles so you could stick them up your ......

if the reason is you read about it in cosmo - change mags

if you find it strangely exciting ... and are a little curious.....

well (as we say round here ) "fill yer boots lass"
in fact if you stand up too quickly ...... ;-(

ive never had it but was talking to a friend who had it done last week and said it made her feel very refreshing, and less lethargic and she would certainly have one again

Thats the reason i was looking into it, as i wat to feel refreshed and i dunno.....flushed . ha.

Ayhow i guess everyone has a different opinion on everything and thats why i put the question out on here.

Sqad617 and ACtheTROLL i appreciate your feelings on this are not really for having the treatment, and yes maybe i do need some mental irrigation, maybe we all do.
