The Dangers Of Colon Cleansing
Holistic healing and other healing alternatives are gaining popularity with the public. Many health gurus recommend
colon cleansing, but it is rare to find a medical doctor who fully agrees that colon cleansing is a necessity.
What Is Colon Cleansing?
Colon cleansing enthusiasts believe that ailments such as acne, candida, constipation, brain fog, or heaviness in
the stomach are related in some way to your colon. If this is true, how come medical doctors are not exactly
excited about the benefits of colon cleansing? In fact, dangers of colon cleansing are more than the
remunerations.
The colon is our body's waste processing system. It extracts water away from our feces, maintaining our body's
water balance as well as vitamin absorption. Colon cleansing has two types, the first is taking a powder or liquid
supplement, and the other is colonic hydrotherapy or irrigation.
Colonic irrigation or hydrotherapy is a type of colon cleansing wherein a rubber tube is inserted into your rectum
and flushing your colon with water. The other type of colon cleansing system is to use a colon cleanser. A colon
cleanser can either be in liquid or powder form. There will be a program in which you will follow, but the gist is
that the colon cleanser is to be taken orally for the duration of the program.
The Real Dangers Of Colon Cleansing
According to scientists the dangers of colon cleansing are irrefutable. When you do colon cleansing, you are
interfering with the body's natural cycle. This interference may disrupt the natural relationship of our body with
that of the natural bacteria and chemicals present in our colon.
Like mentioned above, colonic irrigation involves inserting a tube up into your unmentionable and flushing the
colon with a water or liquid substance. Now the problem is that; how sure are you that the equipments used are
properly sterilized? You could end up with an infection if the rubber tubing and other equipments are
contaminated.
The risk of the colon wall rupturing, and too much water absorption are another dangers of colon cleansing worth
looking into. When you get colon hydrotherapy there is a chance that you might take up too much water. This can
lead to heart failure, water inside your lungs, and chemical imbalance.
Colon cleansers on the other hand are also not such a good idea. Most of these supplements are not FDA approved.
You don't know what kind of ingredients they put into those liquid or powdered colon cleansers. They can make
declarations which are not backed by hard facts.
With all the dangers of colon cleansing mentioned above, the most prominent is the damage it makes on your pockets.
Colon cleansing supplements and irrigation or hydrotherapy procedures are very expensive.
Conclusion
Before believing all the media and alternative healing hype you should be responsible enough to familiarize
yourself with the dangers of colon cleansing. Just because it is well advertised and people endorse it does not
mean it is necessarily good for you.
