Colonic irrigation machines

Has anyone experienced using one of those large colonic irrigation machines, where you can see the wastes via a large clear tube? I’m very interested in trying this.

I built one a few years ago and used it 2 or 3 times a month. I haven't used it for at least 6 years. I have to get it working again and make a video 😁

I have colonics on a regular basis; however, I don't see the waste in the tube. The therapists rarely comments on what I expel. I am sure that I could ask but I doubt that I ever will.

You’re more likely to be able to see the waste tube on a closed system versus an open system. I don’t have access to a closed system, and cannot see the waste line due to its location. My therapist (?) makes subtle comments like “you’re doing good” or “this session is very effective”. I just lay back and enjoy it, not interested in seeing the results.

I enjoy my colonics. I can see the waste through the clear tube and through a window in the machine. My hygienist is a wonderful woman and she will insert the speculum several times if I ask her. It really feels good. She will also wiggle it a bit. That feels good too.

I have wanted to do this for decades, but my experience getting light-headed with my first bag enema where I didn't use salt has made me wary of doing it, because colonics don't use salt. I had two poorly performed gravity colonics over 25 years ago, but the tube laid on the table beside me. I'm not interested in looking at what comes out, really. I'd just like a machine to be used.

I have been fortunate to be able to go to a number of ladies for my colonics. They have used Woods Gravity tank and various machines. Some have allowed me to see the viewing glass, some not. Some have commented "oh, lots of sweetcorn " or "you are really frothy" others not! And one, who had LIBBE had a camera on the viewing tube with monitors in the treatment room and her office!

I got my certification to give colonics about 10 years ago. Up until about two years ago, I worked off and on part time as a colon hydrotherapist for a naturopathic clinic in my area. I've given hundreds of colonics to both women and men, young and old. With the diets and the junk people eat these days, I highly recommend a colonic at minimum once ever couple months or so. We trained on the Dotolo Toxygen for certification, but the clinic I worked used a Clearwater clinical model machine. I prefer a closed system for several reasons. Everything stays enclosed in a waste hose leaving the speculum, no smells or risk of contamination. I'm a registered nurse, and I perform the speculum insertion into the client's rectum. I'm was already medically trained giving countless enemas to patients. So being trained at doing safe, comfortable rectal insertions is essential for a good colonic and keeping the client calm. Having a speculum inserted might be slightly uncomfortable for just a few brief seconds, but never a painful experience when properly performed. But nervous clients sometimes have some difficulty that first time. That's why you need to be understanding and respect the clients modesty during such a vulnerable process.

Also, with a closed colonic, it's much easier to show the client through the view tube what is being expelled. And I've seen some scary stuff being flushed out of people, especially parasites.

Yes I had a colonic with one of those machines in Sedona. I enjoyed it and felt quite groovy afterwards.

@Nurse Nikki You're an angel of mercy 😇

Post #9.."Nurse Nikki!!!!!!!,"

Thx for your post!!! I too have been seeing a "Colon Hydro Therapist" for now ... quite a few years!!! Funny how that goes... but I can contribute the experience to my still being here at 80 y.o.!!! AND!!! "Still Very Active in LIFE!!!!!!!" Long story, so till later.. butttttt.... I have had he experience of several Therapist ladies and they are all "Angels!!!!!!" All have used the "Closed system" machines and unlike some of the other posters here... we got to see "EVERYTHING@@@!!!" .... After all is done, there is one small comment that one of them mentioned regarding our longevity!! "Death Begins in the Colon!!!"....... The comment is usually followed by... Keep yours Clean!!!" I have to sigh off for now ... things to do in the morning... But I will soon post you a good follow up!!!!!

Till Later...........,

I love getting colonics about once per month, and I’ve been giving them lately to a few friends with a gravity setup I’ve built as well. I’d love to get certified, but there aren’t many certified instructors who offer classes / certification workshops. There is one in San Diego, and I’d love to go for a week of giving and getting colonics, but it’s a bit hard to schedule with life. Maybe someday 🖤

I've had some. I preferred the closed system overall both because I thought it was a better clean out and because of the abdominal massage and company (who might comment on what is coming out).

I used to have regular closed system. There were lots of them in the DFW area. There were a couple in the greater Salt Lake City area where I did some business.

I think these are gone now, but I haven't looked that hard. There was a regulation past in Texas that severely restricted the ability of colonics people to operate that's been years now. So I don't know.

The people that did my colonics were very knowledgeable and taught me a great deal about enemas, but I don't really see any need for them now and it's a good thing because I think they are gone.

The gravity fed machines are mostly just an enema. So, I'm just not interested.

I have so far only had a closed system colonic. It honestly felt really relaxing but kinda erotic ngl. I also was dehydrated so not a lot of a good release; a lot of clear water.

You are 100% tied in at the mercy of your hydrotherapist. I remember her also adding additives for a chamomile/coffee enema until I just could not hold it longer and I got flushed out.

Been doing it for over a year now, a monthly session. They have a mirror where you could see what is going out, but would have to lift my head, so I do not look. My therapist tells me at the end what the "outcome" was....she would normally say that I moved a lot.... I know that after I feel even better than after an enema session, even without the sexual relief I would have in that case....

Yes I have gotten colonic irrigation before and I still occasionally get one. I tried the open and closed system and prefer the closed system because I believe it's more effective for my body. I haven't yet tried a gravity system...

I have used few colonic providers 2 doing it in there adu /clinic and they have the machine on the wall most of the time i can't see it because of the lady seated next to it but here and there is can see some stuff leaving my body and it's great feeling the other 2 I have used don't have the machine but few valves and a waste connection still using the same clear flexible hose and i can see sometimes how waste moving out

But most of the time I just try to relax and get more water coming in

Correct me if I’m wrong or missing something, but isn’t an open system essentially a gravity system? Or is there a Difference?

Not to my experience, but I only had two open system colonis. All the rest were closed, no gravity colonics.

The key difference between open and closed colonics, is the waste..For a closed colonic the speculm, inlet and discharge, fills the anal canal and the waste is piped away. In open colonic, LIBBE or Angel of Water, the inlet pipe is much smaller and the release is into an open receptacle, whence it flows to drain. Open systems are gravity fed. Some closed colonics use a Woods Gravity tank. Others use a machine. When carrying our a fill with a closed colonic, machine or gravity, the therapist will kink the discharge hose.

All systems, open and closed, gravity and machine have their merits. Personally I prefer closed colonic by a machine, but what really matters is the therapist.

@PhillyEnemaSub Ii have had many colonics with both the open and closed systems. My therapist had both types and the open system had a mirror setup where you could easily see the waste tube. With the closed system the waste tub was also easy to see.

I built my own. I just wish it were easier to get the nozzle in.😃

I go for a colonic every 3-4 weeks. Helps tremendously with the constipation from my GLP-1 shots. I’ve gotten to the point where I can fill for about 4L before I release. After 2-3 of those I can feel the cecum start to activate and then I get the satisfying deep cramps and everything flushes out. The last fill or two generally come out clean. I get 6-8 fills per 45 min session. Open system is what my therapist has.

One side note - repeated colonics seem to make enema fills easier. After taking a 1L lower colon flush, I can usually easily take 4L with no cramps. Sometimes I even take the 4L standing up, but I find that standing sometimes irritates my inguinal hernia mesh repair. So I try to take the enemas laying on my back when I can. I can usually get 4L in within 3 minutes. I attribute that fast flow rate to the repeated colonics calming my system down and training it to take water.

In another house I owned years ago there was a nice bathtub that I could use to do a form of colonic irrigation by hooking up a shower hose the the facet outlet 1/2 in npt pipe and then to a 1/2 inch (3/4 I.d.) contraption that included a tee’d off section about 6 inches long with a 1/2 npt fitting for the delivery end of the shower hose and and insertable portion nice rounded off and polished. I could inset it about 6 inches. On the other end of the tee’d section another 6 inches stub of pvc that I could just hold my finger over when I wanted to fill. When I felt the urge to release the water and waste I just left the tube open and the continuous flow from the faucet helped move things along. So it was like a closed system feels but with the advantage of being an open system when I released the water I took in. It was Great clean out with multiple fills and releases.
