What is Colonic Irrigation and what are it's pros and cons?
I had a friend who did it and was pleased with the results. I plan on having one done when I go back to the states in May.
While it is possible to loose weight from the procedure, this is not the main goal. The main goal of the procedure is to remove parasites from the colon.
Colonic irrigation is also known as hydrotherapy of the colon, high colonic, entero-lavage, or simply colonic. It is the process of cleansing the colon by passing several gallons of water through it with the use of special equipment. It is similar to an enema but treats the whole colon, not just the lower bowel. This has the effect of flushing out impacted fecal matter, toxins, mucous, and even parasites, that often build up over the passage of time. It is a procedure that should only be undertaken by a qualified practitioner.
The cost of colonic irrigation treatments varies, but is generally between $35-70 per session, which may last from 45 minutes to one hour.

It's a fancy way of saying "enema." It can be helpful in dealing with certain acute or chronic bowel problems, particularly those which manifest as constipation. The main drawback is that many alternative practicioners (y'know, the type who prefer big, obtuse terms like "Colonic Irrigation") want you to do it much more often than anyone has any real need to.
