A member asked:
What is the best way to cleanse the liver, kidney and intestines? does the colon hydrotherapy really help to remove parasites and toxins from the intestines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your kidneys don't need "cleaning" and your intestinal tract is self cleansing. Colonic irrigation is based on the concept of "purging" that has been around in some form for centuries. Before science learned what caused different diseases it was felt that some type of imbalance of the "4 types of body fluids"(Humors) caused disease. Calomel to induce vomiting and blood letting were prevalent.
