I have been wanting to cleanse the colon. I asked my Dr. and he said no. I asked him why he said just don't be silly.

so to actually answer your question... its a matter of bacteriaand cloride loss, alot of the cloride in your body is stored there, and if you *flush* it all out regularly, you could endaner your health...
another good reason is that it isnt really a necesary thing to do, and as a matter of fact, you could slow the muscular contractions in there, and thereby make yourself more dependant on that sort of help...
if you are seriously thinking that you may be sorta backed up in there, try eating a high fiber dinner, breakfast and lunch for a few days... so go have a salad, eat some high fiber bread and pasta with a side of spinach.. and look out

He's right, stop being silly. Colonic cleansing is not necessary as the bacteria normally occuring within your colon takes care of that aspect. Colonics are a waste of time and money and not at all necessary. Listen to your doctor.

our colon is colonized with beneficial bacteria that help to break down the foods we eat. Colon cleansing kills those bacteria and does more harm than good. The only time it is appropriate to do a colon cleansing is before a surgery on the colon itself, to prevent the beneficial bacteria from infecting the rest of the body. Your doctor is right, don't be silly.

Get a second opinion. If he won't tell you why he might not answer other more important questions. I would question why your doctor is not answering your question. Colon cleansing comes in other forms to. Taking fiber regularly is a form of colon cleansing.

Are you talking about doing an herbal cleanse?..... Most doctors think anything herbal or natural are foolish. Keep in mind doctors go to school for several years and are taught the only way to help a person is to cut, burn, or drug them (I'm speaking generally of course, not all doctors think that way). I'm not against doctors, but they don't know everything, and those who do agree with using natural methods are often looked down on in the medical community, so there is a definite downside to them even looking into it.
In any case, you deserve a doctor who is willing to answer any question you have, even if he thinks it is silly.

Do not let some opportunist stick anything in you - they're running scams. Colonics are not necessary and you could even dehydrate and on top of that it costs money.
Just eat a healthy diet and nature will take its course, it's how the body functions.
