Why we never see any advertising for enemas?

Within the last week, I have seen ads on television touting

Dulcolax,Miralax, Benefiber, Metamucil, Activia, Muselix

and a half hour long "infomercial" hawking a "colon

cleanser" which is packaged in a plastic can. Other

personal "health and beauty aids" that I have seen

promoted include diarhea medications, warming lubricants,

feminine sprays, also viagra, cialas, and most recently low

I saw a silicone clitoral stimulator made by Trojan

advertised. You name it and it is advertised prominently

and often on tv and often in prime time.

But what about enemas? Is there such a taboo on enemas

that you never see any advertising? Why won't the networks

allow advertising and education about this natural, time

tested remedy? Is a bulb or bag pictured in a drug store

box so taboo and controversial that it would cause more

controversy or public harm that the clitoral stimulator I

did see in the aforementioned ad?

Won't it take education and advertising to bring the enema

back from the dark ages into the light again?

The industries skirt around what they think are "safe" topics and anything involving the actual insertion of an enema is still not considered appropiate in public."Why" is a good question.Seems like the general concensus is that no one wants to tackle that subject when you can use everything under the sun to avoid it.It's easier to use oral aids to correct the problem than causing what is perceived as an invasion of one's privacy.Just my take on the question.

You are right, it has alot to do with public opinoin.People do not want to labeled.

As they say in the political arena, "Follow the money."

There is no money to be made in enemas, but there is in prescribing drugs.

The Cave Man

The orthodox industrial medical establishment motive is profit..

surgery and patent drugs are highly profitable,,,

enemas are not....period

You normally do not see advertisements for top selling items. Fleet enemas are in the top five of the most sold items in drugstores in the USA.

I too have been wondering when the media will come around and admit that all the drugs for colon health are are waste of money when in fact a nice warm soapy enema will work just fine,On the other hand,the media makes big bucks selling commercial air time.So,I guess,it's up to us to spread the word,hopefully,some newspaper or mag writer will fine out that enemas do a better job and get the word out.I promise to do my part. Let the good times FLOW.

Low profit potential and not considered hi-tech and therefore sexy (how little they know).

Hay give it time When I was growing up there were no such things on TV they would barely hint at "femanine products" and the only bra you ever saw was on a plastic torso 'cross my heart'! You can even hear some of those 7 words now and again. And a bear with TP stuck to it's butt?? We've come a long way.

You buy a bag and with care you use it for years there is no profit there. Need I say more?
