Why not just use enemas, suppositories or laxatives instead?

Creative Lifeflow FAQ's - For Colon Hydrotherapy
Enemas typically aren't as thorough as a colonic. I am a certified trained professional and will make the experience more comfortable and successful. Suppositories and laxatives can both be irritating to your colon, even if you are taking an herbal form. Colonics are more natural in that they stimulate peristalsis of the colon muscles and help to establish regularity. Laxatives cause the colon to spasm due to aggravation.

Do I need to take an enema?

Christine's Cleanse Corner - ?juva Cleansing Program - Frequ...
The ?juva program goes a long way to remove tremendous amounts of toxins and wastes from the body. However, due to poor diet, lack of tone in the intestines, blockages and lack of peristaltic action, the intestines may sometimes need a little more help in the form of an enema. Cleaning the lower intestines with the pure water of an enema can definitely help remove even more wastes and blockages. In summary, enemas may not be necessary, but they are often very helpful.

Do I have to have an enema when I arrive?

Women and Children - Lactation - Carolinas Healthcare
Yes! If you desire direct rooming-in (keeping the baby with you 24/7 without sending it to the nursery) your labor and delivery nurse will notify your pediatrician after delivery to report the condition of your newborn and the order will be received at that time.

What is the proper position to use while taking an enema?

Max Gerson Therapy For Cancer
There is some controversy about the best position for taking an enema, as conventional protocol is backwards from Dr. Gerson's instructions.

Dr. Gerson insisted that the best position was for the patient to lie on their right side, legs comfortably pulled up, relaxed, and breathing deeply.

It appears to be important to cleanse the colon, but why not use suppositories or laxatives instead?

ENEMA faq questions
Well, every thing has its proper place, but these things aren't substitutes for enemas or colonics. Enemas are useful for short-term release of the colon. Usually, one or two litres of water are used to do that and it will of course not work as deep as a colonic which uses 40-80 litre in one session. Suppositories and laxatives particularly herbal laxatives, are formulated for various purposes, such as: to undo the effects of temporary constipation, to prepare for surgery, etc.

Why not use enemas, suppositories or laxatives instead of having a colonic irrigation?

Colon Irrigation Melbourne
The over the counter products are not substitutes for colonies. Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum (the lower part of the colon). Suppositories are intended to do the same thing. Laxatives, particularly herbal laxatives, are intended to undo the effects of temporary constipation. But the most successful method to cleanse your colon is colonic irrigation.

Why do I need to take Moflora, can't I just use plants and herbs in my daily diet?

Christine's Cleanse Corner - ?juva Cleansing Program - Frequ...
You could. Onion and garlic can help regenerate beneficial intestinal bacteria, however, only small changes will be noticed if there are insufficient amounts of healthy bacterial flora to begin with (due to loss from antibiotics, stress, etc.) Grown on a chicory base, the human-specific probiotic cultures contained in Moflora are specifically designed to give your intestinal tract the boost it needs to regain its optimal bacterial balance.

Why not take laxatives?

FAQ
Laxatives are irritants and damage receptor cells and may lead to a sluggish bowel and less ability to eliminate waste on your own (dependency may occur).

Are laxatives dangerous?

FAQ
Laxatives are very dangerous medications. Many anorexics and bulimics take them in the mistaken belief that they aid weight loss. I myself took them for about a year, overdosing at least once or twice a week. Laxatives are very addictive and, as the sufferer's body becomes dependent on them, it can no longer carry out its natural functions unaided. Laxatives do not actually cause weight loss because they work on the bowels and once food has reached that point, all the calories have been removed.

Why can't I just chop up a veggie, or even give it whole?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
The veggies need to be pulped up using something like a blender, juicer or food processor. You are aiming for something a bit like the vegetable matter found in the stomach of a prey animal. The reason for this is that dogs can not digest cellulose. Cell walls of plants are made of cellulose, so for our dogs to get the nutrients out of them, we need to crush the cell walls.
