A member asked:
Are colonics of any medical benefit or is it based on new age myths there is conflicting info from doctors ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Health Benefit: I have never once heard of a physician recommending colonics. This fad has not been fueled by any medically valid medical need or condition. Your Body has a marvelous mechanism for eliminating waste through urine or through stool. No reason to mess around with an elimination system that is already working well.
