Colonic?!!!!?

Any cleansing program should begin in the colon, the last portion of the digestive system. The colon’s job is to compact the chime, absorb water, and receive B-vitamins that are produced by healthy intestinal bacteria.One of the most renowned nutrition experts in the world, Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., author of many popular health books, states:

“It has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people's health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place.”

We could actually compare the function of the colon in our bodies to a sewer system in a large city. Just imagine for a second what would happen if the sewers in our area became clogged by some debris. Undoubtedly, within a short time the whole neighborhood would be filled with filth and an unbearable stench. This is the same process that occurs in our bodies when the elimination system is not functioning properly. When the colon is clean and healthy, we experience an overall well-being. When it is congested with stagnant waste, poisons back up into the system and pollute the inner environment. This is called autointoxication or self-poisoning.

Signs of self-poisoning

In her best-selling book, Internal Cleansing, Dr. Linda Berry, a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist, summarizes the symptoms of self-poisoning.

“If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be experiencing autointoxication (a process

whereby you are poisoned by substances produced by your own body as a result of inadequate digestion

and elimination), and therefore you might want to consider some type of internal cleansing program:

*Allergy or intolerance to certain foods, Bad breath and foul-smelling gas and stools

*Constipation, diarrhea, sluggish elimination, irregular bowel movements, Frequent congestion, colds, viruses

*Flatulence or gas and frequent intestinal disorders, Frequent headaches for no apparent reason

*General aches and pains that migrate from one place to another, Intolerance to fatty foods

*Low energy; loss of vitality for no apparent reason, Lower back pain

*Lowered resistance to infections, Needing to sleep a long time

*Pain in your liver or gall bladder, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast soreness, vaginal infections

*Skin problems, rashes, boils, pimples, acne

If you have severe symptoms or any serious disorders, seek the attention of a competent health care provider. The above list is only meant to indicate some of the symptoms of autointoxication. Anyone who has been on a Standard American Diet for more than two years would benefit from periodic cleansing, especially if you live in an urban area.

Every cell of our body is affected by self-poisoning. When the toxins accumulate in the nervous system, we feel irritable and depressed. We feel weak if they back up into the heart, bloated if they reach the stomach and our breath is foul if they reach the lungs. If the poisons try to escape through our skin, rashes and blotches develop, or we look pale and our skin appears wrinkly. If the toxins make it to the glands, we feel fatigued, lethargic, our sex drive may cease and we appear to look much older than our actual age.

PS: This subject is far to complicated to explain here in full However, if you check my website in about two to three days I should have posted this article in full , for now I hope this answered your question.

It is a procedure that some people have to cleanse their colon. Compare it to a radiator flush. They do it for other reasons. Someone I know has crones and he seems to feel better after. I do know that many people never rid of all the waste in their systems naturally. They say this procedure can get the "packed waste" out. I've read about it. People mainly want the excess out of their bodies.

it is an enema. They pump, (VERY slowly using gravity), water or some other cleansing agent into your bum. (your colon.) It is to clean our your "pipes". Usually the result is a lot of very yucky stuff getting hurried out of your system. It shouldn't be painful at all, more embarrassing, if that sort of thing bothers you. It could be to check your colon health or to relieve an impaction (when you have been backed up for a while...)

Colonics is getting your color cleaned. They stick a hose up there and clean it out...

I actually did this yesterday. I lost 6 pounds, and of course I felt like crap because it pretty much cleaned out all the good and bad stuff in my colon... I had to take a multi vitamin and a nap.

It's good to do though to get all excess waste out! I do it like once a month.

a colonic is when you hose out your intestines. You put water or another liquid into your rectum and keep doing it until all of the feces are removed. Supposedly, you will lose weight.

having to do with your colon.

not " : "

it's in your bum, which should be checked regularly for 'colon cancer'.

never had one, but I hear the results are pretty crappy sometimes...
