IS IT DANGEROUS TO PERFORM COLONIC IRRIGATION ON YOURSELF? ENEMA?

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

Colonic irrigation claims to help indigestion and yeast infections, control blood pressure, restore pH balance, reduce bad odors, clear colon blockage, induce proper blood clotting, stimulate production of white blood cells, help prevent gallstone production, clean the colon of parasites, help loss of concentration, and aid lung congestion, sinus congestion, skin problems, and nail fungus.

The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all.

Not a bad day’s work, but not exactly proven, and yes, potentially dangerous.

He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.

Colonic irrigation (CI) is a procedure in which very large quantities of liquids are infused into the large intestine, or the colon, via the rectum through a tube. The purpose is to detoxify the body through the removal of accumulated waste from the colon. This may involve the use of twenty or more gallons of liquid. Liquids used in colonics may contain coffee, herbs, enzymes, or wheatgrass.

Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.

The machines used for colon therapy are illegal unless used during conventional medical treatment. Colon therapy also can be dangerous. Complications include bowel perforation, heart failure from excessive fluid absorption, electrolyte imbalance, and several outbreaks of serious infections. One case linked to contaminated equipment caused amebiasis, a parasitic infection, in thirty-six people.

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one...characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.
