What are the pros and cons of colonics?!


Question:

What are the pros and cons of colonics?


Answers:

There's a lot of pseudoscience insisting that toxic levels of waste build up in the colon, 'poisoning' you. It's total hogwash.

What will a colonic do for you? It'll empty the colon, for very short-term weight loss of waste that would have worked its way out over the next day or two. If you're anal-erotic, it may arouse you. If you suffer from hemorrhoids, it may soften the stool to allow it to pass more comfortably. If you happen to be constipated, the problem will be solved, temporarily.

The con is that it's absolutely unnecessary. You'd be better off eating whole grains, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and drinking enough to be properly hydrated all the time. In addition, in many states there's no regulation or training of those who administer colonics, so the potential for unsantiary equipment or injury is present.
