Colonic Irrigation
Colonic irrigation, also sometimes called colon therapy or colon hydrotherapy, is a procedure in which very large quantities of liquids are infused into the colon via the rectum through a tube, a few pints at a time. This is done in an effort to wash away and remove the contents of the colon.
Colonic irrigation differs from an ordinary enema, which involves infusing a lesser amount of liquid into the rectum only. A "high colonic" may involve the use of twenty or more gallons or fluid, pumped by a machine or transmitted with a gravity-feed apparatus. Liquids used in colonics may include coffee, herbs, enzymes, wheatgrass extract, or many other substances. Proponents of the procedure advertise that "all disease and death begin in the colon." Proponents believe that colonics detoxify the body, and claim that regular colon cleansing is necessary to maintain health. (Information from William T. Jarvis, PhD)
