| does anyone know someplace i can get a colonic done in seoul or suwon or somewhere nearby? |
Will someone please tell me the benefits of getting this done? What are the plusses and minuses of having this procedure? What does it cost and how often does one need it? |

| Nobody needs it, it's a pseudo-medical procedure that does nothing for your health and is based on a long-since conclusively disproven theory that your colon somehow gets coated with a layer of hardened, dried feces that releases toxins and makes you sick. |

I value your opinion that it's not needed but that really didn't answer the question. What about mercury that may be in your intestines? I think getting this out would be a good thing. I want to hear from people that it worked for or didn't work for, and why. |

What about cadmium, hydrogen, iron, nickel, zinc and phosphorous? What evidence is there that mercury resides in you colon? |

It doesn't get mercury out of your intestines any more effectively than normal defecation does.
It's one of those things where only people who are gullible enough to believe that it actually does something, do it. So you're probably not going to find anyone who actually tried it and says it doesn't work. |

Thats not the intent of this thread? But, I'll play your silly game. What evidence exists to say there isn't? Of course, I would want to get rid of all the harmful heavy metals in my body if they are in my intestines.

| Everything that gets removed from your colon during a colonic would have been removed naturally a day or two afterwards. All it does is remove less-digested feces that would come out anyway naturally. There are no medical benefits, nor any proof of such. |

The Medical Community's Perspective
# While alternative medicine practitioners find colonics helpful for treating conditions ranging from constipation to sinus problems, most medical doctors believe that colonics provide no medical benefits. Doctors believe that the colon naturally eliminates waste materials on its own and feel that a colonic could be harmful, as it might throw off the body's electrolyte balance and cause salt depletion and dehydration. If you are considering having a colonic, you may want to consult your doctor and ask if the procedure will be safe, considering your health history.
