Enemas & Colonic Irrigation

Have any of you come across medicos who are against the use of enemas and then there are others who vouch that colonic irrigation is good for cleaning the gut.

What are your thoughts about this?

My experience is a series of several enemas will clean you out as well as a colonic.

I've tried colonics with three different therapists. One was very anti enema, which I think is ironic. Given they make their income from colonics one can see why they might lean more towards the colonics.

For enjoyment I much prefer enemas, however I would recommend trying a closed system colonic. Very different from an enema, but still an good experience.

Why does a colonic therapist become anti-enema supposedly? I know it's to make them more money, but did they give any reasoning besides "only take the colonics I give you"?

One in particular. She said a client had about ruined their colon using enemas. She was still seeing them for colonics. She did not offer much more detail.

Others claimed the colonic did a better job of cleaning one out. My experience is a series of enemas do a good job

I am sure business is a factor. They will also tell you that colonics clean the entire colon and enemas only get the bottom third i.e. colonics are much more effective. Like chiropractors, they have to justify their voodoo! For me, enemas and colonics are pleasurable - nothing more. Sometimes it is nice to relax by myself with an enema, sometimes it's nice to be pampered and enjoy the "fill and release".

Well, yes it is possible to ruin your colon with an enema. Too hot, hazardous chemicals, too much pressure, physical damage from the nozzle - there are ways. If you are careful you probably aren't going to be at any higher risk than you would with a colonic.

"A series of enemas" is a pretty good way to describe a colonic. There are some slight differences, but not much significant. If you're comparing it to a Fleet there are significant differences, but use a 2+ quart bag of water and the differences start to go away.
