Are toxins real?

People claim that enemas get rid of toxins in the intestines, but what are those toxins? Or is it all BS?

It’s all BS. The idea of auto intoxication was debunked years ago. The symptoms of constipation can reliably be reproduced with sterile cotton placed in the rectum. True toxins such as heavy metals require chelating agents such as BAL to remove them.

Most of the true toxins in the environment today won't be touched by an enema.

It's an old idea of the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Do you remember Dr. John Harvey Kellogg?

By the way: on this story is based the movie The Road to Wellville, here the famous enema scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAHhG-PCDQY

And fat soluble organic pollutants are even harder to remove.

Yes, toxins are real. Check a dictionary for the definition. However, enemas/colonics do little, if anything, to remove them from a human body. A blanket claim that any treatment will remove the toxins from your body is a red flag waving over a mountain of bull dung.

If interested in a treatment, ask the provider :

• For a list of the specific toxins the therapy will remove
• What percentage of those toxins will be removed by each session
• What tests they perform or prescribe before and after each treatment (as evidence the therapy works as promised)

I'm not saying such treatments can't be enjoyable or even beneficial. But when a therapist makes unsubstantiated claims as to what the benefits are, I wonder what other lies they will tell me.

Interesting posts. But, there is a definite connection between the gut and brain and how the body works. Keeping the gut running smoothly is important. Will regular enemas remove all toxins ? I doubt it , but fasting and cleansing has been proven to be beneficial, but that can be overdone. Many articles that I have read recommended a two day fast and cleanse no more than monthly. No one can list specific toxins or a percentage. Daily enemas probably are not helpful, but every couple of weeks to take a few baking soda enemas cannot hurt.
