i read your intestines can hold up to a week worth meals even if you have a bowel movement a day. Is this true?

Colonics are unnecessary and can be dangerous, as they can cause an imbalance in your electrolytes. Your body is an amazing machine that cleanses itself. You have mucus and cilia in your intestines that move waste through. If you are worried or wanting to clean things out, a simple enema or laxative would do the trick.

Many swear by them. I remember a friend of mine at work that would rave about it and keep saying that she was going to take me, I avoided it. Even Dr.'s that have to um, clean up before certain procedures have reported that their patients report immediate improvements. I am on a cleansing program which for me is more um, convenient. I have felt better. There are some videos on their site you can check out.

Besdies removing waste/bacteria youre also removing good bacteria that your body needs so you need to keep that in mind. Once in awhile wouldnt hurt but I wouldnt do that on a regular basis.

Yes I have heard this also. My grandmother swore by high colonics and had them regularly until she heard that one can contract AIDS if the practitioner isn't diligent about cleaning the equipment.
