Anyone who's into enemas?

---

I saw this health video here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p45NK4OFzVw] about coffee enemas and it's really interesting.
I can imagine that this is good and that you can remove all kinds of stuff which builds up in the colon. But
I also wonder is this really safe? I am sure if I asked my intern about home enemas he'd tell me not to try it.
And why coffee?
I also wonder is it really true that stuff builds up in the colon? Like parasites? I read a lot about colon parasites. I wonder if
this is really such a common threat.

I also wonder instead of doing an enema to cleanse the colon why not simply drink the stuff you get before a coloscopy?
This also makes it all totally clean otherwise they couldn't examine the colon. Wouldn't this be easier than an enema?

What sucks is that most doctors aren't much of a help when it comes to "alternative" health treatments. They usually don't know
anything about it and then simply say not to do it. Fasting for example would also interest me but at the same time I'd be afraid
of health risks. For example I heard when you fast long and then start eating too fast then your blood electrolytes can get totally
out of balance and you can die. That's really frightening.
Without a doctor telling me how to fast and for how long I'd be too afraid to just try it on my own. :(

Apparently people do feel better after colonic irrigation, but it seems to be just psychology. There's no medical reason to do it. Parasites don't build up in the colon--healthy people don't normally have any.

But I read that toxins build up in the colon and basically prevent absorption of nutrients. What if this is true?
I also heard that when you eat a lot of meat it also builds up there.

No, it's rubbish.

The woman in the video says when she does a juice fast then after days there's still solid stuff coming out and this proves to her that there is build up in the colon.
Not sure if this is really a proof.

The colon removes water, and most juices contain some fibre (indigestible cellulose). After the water is taken out of the juice, solid fibre remains.

I think you're right. I had the same thoughts. Even if you only drink juices you'd sooner or later probably still produce some fecal matter.

I can smell some people's colons. What does that mean?

I want to make a joke here but I'll refrain.... LOL
