In my opinion, the best colon cleanses are done by certified colon hydrotherapists using equipment specifically designed for this purpose. The procedure normally takes 1-1 1/2 hours and is very comfortable and private. The idea is to be able to irrigate the colon up to the ileo-cecal junction.

At home, using an enema, it is only possible to irrigate the colon a relatively short distance. Oral "colon cleanses" are simply a mixture of cathartic herbs and fiber and work by creating diarrhea to "flush" the system. As long as colon cleanses do not become a substitute for normal bowel movements, they can be done safely by most adults as part of a more complete de-tox or cleansing program. Some cautions are noted for people with certain bowel diseases and health conditions, so it is helpful to consult your health care practitioner prior to having a cleanse.Dr. Karen Benton, NDwww.countrydoc.com
