Hello missies,

Has anyone ever had this done? Is it good? Does it help weight-loss? Any estimation on costs?? Finally anywhere in the west Sligo/Mayo/Galway doing it?

Sorry for all the q's but I've been hearing good thing about it but was always too prudish/squeamish to go!!

All info gratefully accepted!

Thanks.

[Mrs Brideog]

Fair play to you for asking! I thought of asking the same before but was too embarrassed! I have never had it done but there was a programme on tv before about it and they found fully-formed food, mushrooms I think, in one person and they hadn't eaten mushrooms in years. Their body was unable to get it out. A friend of my sister had it done and he said it was like drinking a cup of tea backwards but he did say he felt good after it.

Well mrs Brideog... I was threatening to ask for ages and I got brave tonight... It's one thing asking but a whole other ball game doing it some of me is brave and some of me is eugh!! kinda thinking it would be good start to healthy lifestyle.. Detox and all..

[Mrs Brideog]

Yeah, have you done any research on it?

[livingabroad]

I've done a lot of reading on it and apparently lots of the health claims are completely bogus. I think the training aspect of those carrying it out is a big issue - for any other procedure you wouldn't let someone with medical training do something so invasive! Read this during the week - its the daily mail so not exactly top notch journalism!!

This is supposed to remove harmful toxins from the body, encourage the growth of healthy bacteria, boost the immune system and even help weight loss.

But U.S. scientists say there is no scientific evidence to back up any of these benefits.

The team from Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, looked at 20 published studies on the effects of colonic irrigation.

They found patients often suffered side-effects including cramping, bloating, nausea, vomiting, kidney failure and a loss of key chemicals from the body.

The scientists also point out that many professionals who carry out colonic irrigation have no medical training

They have no medical training and it doesn't help weight loss. It is not a good idea to introduce large amounts of water into the body where it shouldn't be in the first place. I have read a lot of scientific journals relating to so called "weight loss aides" and pretty much all of them have been proven to do nothing at all to help weight loss, and may actually seriously harm a person (An unemployed scientist has to do something with her time! )

If you think about it, it makes no sense that putting lots of water into you could possibly help boost the immune system. There have been a number of medical problems resulting from forcing water into an anal cavity and rupturing the small intestine, which is pretty awful!

I would steer clear, save your money and just keep going with exercise and a healthy diet. There are no miracle cures, it is simply burning more calories than you consume each day, and you will lose weight.

[Mrs Brideog]

God, it sounds awful! That's what I meant about the research. You hear rumours alright but it's definitely a good idea to do research first. Yeah, when you think about it the way LMEC has said it, it's amazing that people (including me) can buy into the hype and false advertisements.

[HappyLamb]

I'm no longer brave .. Just eugh!!! I don't think it was the weight loss bit that intrigued me as much as just being healthier without any old stuff inside if u know what I mean.. U dint wanna be too graphic..I was kinda horrified at the thought of old food lingering around... Thought it might be better out.. Think I'll stick to the vitamin supplements and walking the doggies.. I don't fancy risking any of the potential mishaps... Thanks missies

Well I used to buy into them myself, because it sounds believable. I only started to doubt what was advertised when I started doing my masters degree, and I realised that people can publish whatever they want and nobody can stop them (even in medical journals, there are correct experiments and completely crap ones!) So I began to get more critical about what people tell me before buying into the hype. Unfortunately, some people don't always want the truth about some of these things, and get very annoyed when you tell them they should not waste their money on it, as they are so desperate to lose weight/get healthy/grow their hair faster/become more tanned/etc. I guess you can only advise people and hopefully the advertisers will eventually stop conning people out of money.

Stick with the dog walking and vitamins is right!

I agree with Letmeeatcake & would recommend drinking plenty of water daily plus a balanced diet & daily excercise, this will help your body keep everything on the move naturally.

I've had it done, absolutely awful, it made me feel sick and did not "unblock" me, sorry if that's a little graffic for you but that's a colonic. I bought a course of 3 and had to cancel the other 2 sessions cause i couldn't face going back.

The session made me feel nauseous, bloated and very disappointed. Personally I would not recommend
