Benefits or risks of colonics?

My friend is doing it on Monday and we heard that you can lose 10 lbs. Have any of you ever done it and would you recommend it? What's your take on it?

Colonic are an absolute crock. The colon contains and passes unabsorbed food and bacteria. There are no toxic wastes accumulated. The risk of ruptured colon or shock are real.

I've never had a colonic. But I do know that you won't lose ten pounds from it. I would be embarrassed to have someone do that to me. It's not worth the pound or two you could lose. And any weight loss you might experience is not going to be permanent.
