Not safe: Colon cleansing can cause electrolyte imbalances in your blood, and in my opinion are not safe. A natural way to regulate your bowel function would be to eat a diet rich in fiber and drink sufficient water.

Please ask yourself: Did a real physician ever recommend this dangerous and unnecessary experience? Does any ethical medical provider you trust recommend this procedure? Your bowel function is good, by your own report. No need to mess with your health.
