NO. It makes you retain more water & then you will be like 800 pounds. Extreme obesity is never a good thing.
The only weight loss is due to your colon being flushed of faeces. That's it - no other effect whatsoever, and it's temporary only. It does not 'detoxify' you either.
In fact colon hydrotherapy is more risk and benefit.
From Wikipedia (check the sources):
The human body naturally removes waste material, and colon cleansing is not necessary except preparatory to a colonoscopy.[4][14] Colon cleansing may disrupt the balance between bacteria and natural chemicals in the bowel, and may interfere with the colon's ability to shed dead cells.[15]
Other rare but serious complications include gastrointestinal perforation from improper insertion,[16][17] and amoebic infection from poorly sterilised equipment.[18] Some colon cleansing regimens disrupt fluid and electrolyte balance which may lead to dehydration and salt depletion, whilst repeated or excessive cleansing programs can lead to anemia and malnutrition.[14]
Excessive use of enemas has also been associated with cardiac problems such as heart failure,[14] and heart attacks related to electrolyte imbalances when used with coffee.[19] The frequent use of enemas or other colon cleansing tools may lead to dependence and an inability to defecate without assistance or withdrawal symptoms.[2][5]
