The Difference Between A Colonic, Enema And A Colon Detox Program?

During an enema, water is inserted into the rectum through a tube causing the emptying of the lower bowel. Enemas are useful for a quick fixes. However, they only flush loose fecal matter in the lower part of the colon.nnThe ColonicnnA colonic is a type of enema that injects large amounts of water under controlled pressure through the rectum high into the colon for cleansing purposes. Some treatments add things to the water such as peroxide or even herbs. Think of the colonic as a powered enema. It still only captures loose fecal matter, but goes higher into the colon and is more thorough. nnThe problems with this is that they:n• Can actually weaken muscles over time.n• Don't draw from bowel pockets.n• Don't draw from tissue.n• Flush good bacteria along with the bad.n• Can disrupt natural pH balance.n• Run the risk that some water retained in the equipment from another patient's previous use may be injected back into your colon.nnPeriodic colonics aren't a bad thing. They do improve your health, it's just that regular colonics may be too much of a good thing.nnThe Colon Detoxification ProgramnnA good colon detoxification program needs 2 things.nn1. A colon correction formulan2. A colon detoxifiernnColon CorrectionnnA good herbal intestinal corrective provides both cleansing and healing to the entire intestinal system. It stimulates the muscular movement of the colon. It halts rotting and disinfects, soothes, and heals the mucous membrane lining of your entire digestive tract. nnThe herbs used in this type of formula are also antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal.nnColon DetoxificationnnIn contrast with the colon corrective formula, a good detoxifier is cleansing and soothing. The detoxifier formula is a strong purifier and intestinal vacuum. It draws old fecal matter off the walls of your colon and out of any bowel pockets. It also works to draw out poisons, toxins, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and even remove radioactive material such as strontium 90. A good detoxifier will also remove over 2,000 known drug residues.nnThis formula is helpful in irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, and hemorrhoids. And on top of everything else, a good detoxifier will usually eliminate the effects of food poisoning or stomach flu in 20-40 minutes.nnBUT...nnThe colon detox program is not all roses and sunshine; you may experience some gas and bloating. But think about it for a moment. If you were to start a car that had been sitting idle in the garage for years, you wouldn't expect it to start right up. You might have to crank it over several times. It might blow some smoke and backfire several times, maybe even shoot some flames out the tail pipe. But then settle down and begin to purr.nnYour bowel is no different.nnYou may also experience muscular movement, along with occasional cramping and aching, but these effects are minimal if you use a properly designed formula.nnWhat to Look for in an Intestinal Health ProgramnnIn a colon corrective look for a formula that contains all organic herbs such as: nnCape Aloe, Senna, Cascara Sagrada, Barberry Rootbark, Ginger Root, African Bird Pepper, Fennel, and Terminalia chebula. (The Cape Aloe gives it strength, while the fennel makes it gentle.)nnIn a colon detoxifier look for a formula that contains all organic herbs such as: nnPsyllium seeds and husks, Apple Pectin, Montmorillonite Clay, Activated Willow Charcoal, Pau d'arco, Slippery Elm Inner Bark, Marshmallow Root, and Fennel Seed. nnEach offers a unique benefit to the colon detox program as well as an overall effectiveness not available in a colonic. n
