The first time my husband had a paralytic ileus was during the height of COVID, early summer 2020. He went to the hospital twice, two different ERs. Both hospitals did CT scans, then sent him home with no treatment. He hadn't moved his bowels (aside from the diarrhea that leaked out around the blockage occasionally) for 2 full weeks. He hadn't eaten in 5 days. He had thrown up water for 3 days. No laxatives had worked-even chugging an entire bottle of magnesium citrate had not been effective. He lay in our bed in the fetal position, moaning, and trembling. I instinctively reached out to comfort him. His skin was cold to the touch. He was white as a ghost. I thought, "He's going to die." I begged him to go to another hospital. He refused, stating it wouldn't make any difference. He also said it would cost too much, as we were already on the hook for the two previous ER visits. He wanted to wait for the surgical referral he was given at Vanderbilt instead. However, we were told that referral wouldn't be processed until the middle of the following week. I began to panic. I desperately searched for a place to get him a colonic on an emergency basis. It was a Saturday afternoon, and most places were closed. Those that were open were booked. In a last-ditch attempt, I reached out to a local place via email. I begged the owner to get my husband in right away, as I was terrified he wouldn't make it through the night. The owner called me almost immediately, and opened a slot for him the next morning. It was Sunday, the next day. I dropped off my husband at the colon hydrotherapy center. About 90 minutes later, he called me to pick him up. He immediately asked for food. He said he felt a great deal better immediately, but there was still some blockage left. The hydrotherapist wanted him to come in for another colonic the next day; that way, she could give his body a short break. He got that second colonic. All told, he had a seven pound blockage in his intestines that was too high up to be seen on the CT scan. No one could tell us why the ileus occurred, and the ER doctors were perfectly content to let him die at home. This happened again within a year, but we booked him for a colonic right away the second time. It cleared up the blockage in one session. I wholeheartedly believe colon hydrotherapy saved my husband's life!
I'm constipated. Do you think I should have this done? Will this practice harm my immune system? i drank a lot of water i ate fiber i did everything but i can't go to the toilet
@@deathstar9297 My husband refuses to have it done unless he absolutely needs it. It makes him feel nauseated, which the hydrotherapist said is normal. I've had it done due to chronic constipation, but it doesn't make me nauseated. Both of us feel better after a session. *This is not medical advice.* I'm not a doctor, but I feel it's safe as long as the hydrotherapist is highly trained, and knowledgeable.
What this doctor is ragging in about is complete hyperbole. We (colon hydrotherapists) DO NOT shove a tube up your ass not pressure wash your colon. We work gently and effectively to offer the relief that your dear doctor could not offer you in the first place. We also perform a complete health intake assessment to ensure that one is healthy enough for this procedure. Enough of this kind of nonsense!!
good story. I believe in it too. and those who make alot of comments about it actually have no idea about it because they have not even researched it. as with everything else, i am sure that something could go wrong such as this person is describing. Millions of Americans down pharmaceuticals everyday with a multitude of terrible side effects but noone is talking about that. Colonics can be quite an amazing therapy.
I couldn’t sit up for more than 10 minutes. Had a deep ache under my sacrum. I think it was due to toxicity from using the contraceptive sponge prior to this for a couple of years. The sponge was eventually banned due to toxic shock syndrome. I think I had a chronic built up of toxins. No Dr. Could help me and for 31/2 years I went through this. My boyfriend would transport me in his van from Dr. to Dr. I had to lay down in the back of his van. Was desperate and heading toward a wheelchair, so went for a series of 6 colonics-one every 3 days. In 2 weeks I could sit up and the ache was completely gone. I was astonished by this. Wasn’t a placebo cause I tried everything prior to this with great hope. I can see how though if your’e old and the lining of your gut is fragile you need to be careful. Home colonics don’t use as much pressure as professional ones. Maybe start with enemas. No med advice here, just some ideas. Yes, be careful, everyone’s different. I was younger when I had them. But what is weird, this doc doesn’t mention the risk with colonoscopies. People have had perforations with those-you even have to sign a release from liability form. And they do a colonic prior to this test, don’t they? I think some of the meds used with these tests have black box warnings also.
That's genuinely what I thought the video was going to talk about. Lots of people don't know about how many micro-organisms are absolutely essential for health and instead just think "Germs bad"
those bacteria are in the small intestine, where food is still digested, the colonics don't reached that, it's only for large intestine where you only hold the crap.
@@angelac2228 impossible. You are born with a microbiome which is unique to you. Killing it will kill you in the long run and food cant help shit bc food gives almost 0% new bacteria.
Exactly!🤦🏽♀️ Since doctors are here to kill you and NOT to heal you. I’m suspicious of anything a doctor says. I don’t trust any of them one bit. Only surgeons they’re amazing😍😂
Yeah..... don't shoot anything up there. However... enemas are used by doctors in hospitals when people (often elderly) are severely constipated. They are quite safe when done properly.
Enemas is so much gentle compared to an colonic irrigation... Water doesn’t go as far and there is no machine to give pressure to the water getting in.
@@ButterNutSqwoosh Of course, it's like everything medical, do it only if needed. If you need an enema, it means you let yourself go until that point! I don't mean you Abby Taylor, it's a general you.
IDK about that nonsense. I had a barium enema when I was younger and they were trying to diagnose my G.E.R.D and they filled me up hella fast and it caused a TON of pressure within 5s.
Colonics always sounded like angry enemas. If you want to be cleaned out, just schedule a Colonoscopy. The prep will make you rethink all your life's choices, and your small intestines will be cleaned out too! 😉
I failed the 4l which was caught early on. I kept thepwing it up due to my bloated stomach. I got a nasal tube and they dripped it in relatively quickly but still more constant which helped with the throwing up. It wasnt fun, one side of my nose they kept trying to ahove it in hurt so much, so hhey changed to the right (and told me it couldn't hurt that bad). well the tube was in and suddenly the left aide of my nose started to bleed like crazy. nurse "oh, now I see why it hurt*. YA THINK?? Ajd I still remmeber ehat the doc said when they put the back alside in (at the same time they did my stomach). He literally aais "og my goah, that's one of the most spastic reactions I have seen". But me thinking it could be a wrong memory decided to ask him if he said that and flat out he said "yep I did, bur I can't believe you actually remember that 😁"
Eat fruits and have a salad everyday. It will change the way you poop. You will be regular you will be done with pooping work in 5 minutes. Fiber does amazing stuff for your stomach and poop. 😊😊 Please note: this is for all those who are below 50 with no teeth problems and no serious medical issues.
Not in your 80’s, and not if you’ve got complications. Nerve damage to the area, ulcers (blood is a constipant), bowl sagging (not being strung up just right)
Add a bit of sweet potato/ pumkin/ butternut squash every day to have similar results. Recipe: chop into small 1 inch cubes, add sugar, cinnamon and a little oil, roast at medium heat till caramelised/slightly crisp on the outside (40 mins in my oven that has no temp dial lol). Delicious!
So true story I had a co-worker that was going on and on about this supplement that you took to make you have a BM where you would allegedly release all of the trapped matter in your colon for over 5 years... I argued with her a little bit becoming frustrated that she didn't believe me that nothing stayed in there for more than 48 hours under any circumstances... and then I called in a board-certified gastroenterologist to support my argument.... But she disagreed with him too. You can lead a horse to water... But you can't teach her about plumbing. It was actually pretty funny because we regularly booked colonoscopies for people and she gave them the instructions for doing the cleansing beforehand but she never put two and two together that obviously the last couple of metres of their digestive tract had to be completely clear for the colonoscopy to work so obviously even magnesium citrate would work for most people.... Yet there was this weird supplement that you could take that would make you have epic five-year BMS.... I'm pretty sure it was some sort of non soluble fiber because you had to take a big scoop of white stuff... Just know that even if you could call in an expert for testimony that doesn't mean that the stupid person you're arguing with will believe it so don't waste your time.
There was an easy way to shut down her arguments. Simply tell her to eat some canned corn for 3 days straight, then check to see what's in the toilet one to two days later. I can eat a lot of fibre in the morning and it will be coming out the other end by nightfall. I was shocked when I had peanuts in the morning and saw them that night again. 😂
I've had that done, but when I was much younger than now. It's better to get the fiber and water your body needs. Green's and fruit, along with warm herbal tea, is the most gentle.

You don't have to use a pipe. You can use small tubing and it doesn't need to go past your rectum. I had severe irritable bowel syndrome 30 years ago. Fasting and colon cleansing got rid of it and most likely saved my life.
That’s not always enough. There’s several types of medications that can cause horrible constipation no matter what your diet is like. Sometimes you absolutely have to choose between blood pressure meds or antiemetics and pooping normally.
@@Annie_Annie__ More fibre will always help with that. If meds are messing with your digestion, more fiber will counteract that. It's simple honestly.
@@mycelia_ow Never grain, we haven't evolved to digest that shit properly. Anything that could be safely eaten raw is without a doubt good for you. Try eating raw wheat, or rather don't.
I agree with the doctor, when you go doing that stuff you should be thinking this probably isn't a good idea, just seems like a bad idea. Then I got to my thinking about flaming hot food like extremely hot wings, and you know how sore and painful your mouth can get, I always remember that at some point that isn't staying in my stomach and it has to pass, and it has been my experience it's known to burn twice only where I sit😱😳🥺😑.
Everybody says so, but I never felt it burning on its way out. Apparently, my mouth is just so much more sensitive to spiciness. Or it gets neutralised somewhere in my gut
Works for most people, but there are medications and conditions that make your bowels move too slowly, and you're left with chronic constipation. Which sucks.
Of course you have high risk of acute complications happening (like perforation) but on the long term you can cause yourself severe hyponatremia because that water you introduce in your colon attracts the salt from your cells, when you flush the water out you flush the salt as well. And not to mention you also destroy your natural gut bacteria. Overall it really does more harm

Thanks so much for your comment, its always some butts that wont to stop people from gaining good health , its ridiculous doctors and no namers like in these comments
Having colonic irrigation has been one of the best decisions I’ve made towards wellness. There are contraindications as with any procedure & special precautions especially for the elderly
Same with vaginal douching. Totally unnecessary! Our bodies take care of our insides just fine. Wash the outside but leave the internal parts alone! My Doctor had the scheduling office remind women to not douche before appointments. They can’t do proper PAP Smears if ya do!
It's kinda two different animals. If you're doing butt stuff it's more sanitary to douche first, and if you've got a horse in the barn it can hurt like hell. Hopefully there's no shit in your vagina that would need flushing out before sex.

Thanks! Karan bhai! My Grandmother had this similar procedure done with a (alternative therapy center) computer operated colon hydrotherapy machine multiple times (but, they over did it) 😮 after which they used caster oil as laxative to further drain the bowls , she was doing fine but then she started feeling a little bit sick and after three days she passed away😢 just the night before her monthly doctor's appointment at the hospital
This is not related to the video at all but I love your content and I’m planning on becoming a doctor someday. Thanks for making such great videos❤ if you wanted to make a video about your experience with undergrad, med school, residency, etc that would be awesome too!
If you hear of something that is supposed to “clean out” your body, remember that your body does that on its own. Your kidneys and liver, and the ecosystem in your gut, vagina, or anywhere else, don’t need help with this. If it does, though, see a doctor, not someone with no medical training, who makes things up as they go along. Good grief.
What you're describing is extremely rare. I've had many sessions of colon hydrotherapy and I ended up feeling so much better, felt lighter and lost weight. It's an amazing procedure to help those with constipation and digestion issues. One session is like pooping in a toilet 15 times
People who offer such “treatments” should be directly liable without the possibility to have their liability waived by their victims, and the entire chain up to the manufacturer should be just as directly liable…
Key takeaway: ANY medical procedure is high risk if you are elderly. So it’s nothing wrong with this, just being elderly or having preexisting conditions.
I was thinking the same thing. There is risk of complication with every treatment, especially prescription drugs but that hasn't stopped doctors from prescribing them early and often.
Thats not what hes saying. Hes saying that the procedure is dangerous to begin with but more so for the elderly OR those with thin walls. Lets not try and reach to change what he said because we don’t agree with his statements.
@@TheFemmeKembut some have higher risk than others. Also bad solutions being advised by doctors for years doesn’t change that something is dangerous or potentially dangerous.
@@captaindestruction9332 yes but i make sure to factor in a preference for western medicine and science when someone advises against holistic practices. I heard a doctor say that there is no need to cleanse because we have cleansing organs. At some point you have to think about what makes sense.

@@PaulLadendorfCan you tell me a little bit more about your story? I am sick and at a point where any food causes me allergies, so I have decided to do the colon cleanse in 10 days but this video makes me afraid
Colonic flush... I'm assuming that's like a pressurized version of an enema? An enema we use gravity and warm distilled water to gently put water in the colon to assist with constipation. Is the idea of a colonic flush to try to actually flush everything out?!
think of a high pressure car wash hose stuck deep inside you. Actually, it takes 3 days, because the first 3 days, they give you a strong laxative and you can't eat, then they stick a hose derp inside and power wash the entire joint🤦 not just a deep enema. it's a whole procedure
It only cleanses the large intestine. At a low pressure of water as you can control the pressure. It’s not a water hose or anywhere near as big or can facilitate that pressure lol! You would have to get multiple treatments and it sounds like the patient did not disclose his medical history of that happened during the procedure. No laxatives involved. You can take a probiotic after in the small chance all of your good bacteria is cleansed and you get C.Diff.

@@mycelia_ow Absolutely, though to a limit, there is like everything an upper limit on how much fibre is good. IBS-C can be made worse with *too much* fibre but most don't have enough anyway so getting more is usually an improvement.
Oh my, that sounds incredibly disturbing. I think its common sense to not shove anything in those areas unless it's absolutely medically necessary and recommended by a doctor. But as you mentioned before, humans seem to have a fascination with wanting to fill holes 🤷
I showed my mother 2 videos about homeopathy, and she still fucking buys it. Omg. It really aggravates me that she's scientifically illiterate. I even looked up one of the ingredients in her fake medicine, and it was MERCURY!!! They call it mercurius vivus. Usually they will have a number followed by either a c or an x. I believe c means it was mixed in 100 ml of water however many times the number is, but x means it was mixed in 10 ml of water however many times the number is. 30c means there is basically no active ingredient in it at all. Because they take one drop then mix it then another drop and mix it 30 times over, but this mercuris vivus solution was 8x, meaning one ml of mercury in 10 ml of water then one ml of that solution in 10 ml 8 times over, meaning the solution is one part mercury for every 100,000,000 parts of water, and one drop of water is about 3.34x10^22 molecules. Homeopathy is insane.
There is a Satvic movement gaining momentum in India. Basically a vegan wholesome livestyle. Its all great, except for the enemas. Please urge those ppl to stop recommending enemas to ppl. They ask you to do it on a regular basis.
@@saranya7892 Enema is hand pumped, from a container, it lubricates and softens whatever is at the end of the pipe. It only takes a few minutes A colonic irrigation is far more invasive and involves shoving a long pipe that functions like a pressure hose very deep inside of you, pumping and spraying high pressure water to clean it out using a machine pump. Colonic irrigation also involves taking a laxative solution to induce diarrhea prior to the invasive cleansing. You can do an enema on yourself just fine, just have you head screwed on and obviously don't do anything stupid, however you really should never get a colonic irrigation unless your doctor prescribes it to you for very specific reasons. However colonic irrigations like this are being done for a fee by non-professionals under the guise of "health and wellness".
I know a case personally where the elderly had late stage pancreatic cancer and needed help with enema fairly regularly in their last few weeks, this happened despite daily doses of laxatives, i am unsure what alternative you think would have been safer for them
I think the important thing is to recognize that these irrigations are medical procedures. As such, their benefit should outweigh their risks (and basically all medical procedures do have risks). Furthermore, they should be performed by people who have been trained in performing them. In the case you described, the patient can find significant relief and I suspect it was performed by someone trained. And thus the benefit was high and the risk small. However, it's a different story with people who find scammy articles online about "detoxing your body" or such. These people are not really sick, so the expected benefit is little. If they're doing it at home by themselves, this also raises the risk of severe complications. So I think this is why the case you described is very different from the one described in the video.
An enema is delivered with much less pressure, so it's safer, I believe. I imagine that when medical staff have to give one to an elderly patient they take even more care.
@@TerrariaLuvr Exactly. An enema only goes in as far as the rectum (last part of digestive tract) to help expel feaces... colonic washes push water up throughout the large intestine under pressure. Not necessary and not worth the risk. If people have an impacted bowel... they should seek medically trained help, not blow water up their colon.
One is a machine run pipe the latter is a hand pump and if the anti bacterial liquid reaches further up you can no longer can get as much nutrition since good bacteria digests foods for you
enema is just lubrication. It clears just what's ready to come out. can be done at home. lubricates what's at the ext pipe in a few minutes. cleanse takes 3 days. first you drink a solution to give you diarrhea, then they stick a hose DEEP into you and use a pressure hose like a car wash hose to clear out every nook and cranny. it's very invasive, and should only be done with your doctor's prescription, for a purpose like a test. but people are getting this done inappropriately , by non professionals, at beauty spas.

I think I can help answer this one! Douches are ok as long as you are using clean water, going slow and keeping it shallow. The problem with colonics is that they send absurdly pressurized water deep into the most fragile part of your colon. If you stay in the rectum (the part of your intestine closest to the exit) and use very gentle pressure there aren’t really too many bad things that can happen. If it feels uncomfortable, then you’re probably causing irritation, so you’d want to reposition.
@@patriciatoomingtheplantpar2558 The vagina is a self cleaning system. The rectum is not! There’s no medical need to clean it yourself, but there are some intimate reasons you may want to do so, in which case it is safe if done properly.

@@eugenie8661 extremes are obviously the exception and not the norm.. most GI conditions are preventable by feeding your micro biome properly with soluble fiber prebiotics and supporting your colon physically with insoluble fiber…when people neglect long enough they develop gi issues like diverticulitis, ibs, etc and then paradoxically a lot of the fiber rich foods that would’ve helped are now off the table because they will aggravate your now compromised gi…it’s a toxic never ending loop at that point.

The first time my husband had a paralytic ileus was during the height of COVID, early summer 2020. He went to the hospital twice, two different ERs. Both hospitals did CT scans, then sent him home with no treatment. He hadn't moved his bowels (aside from the diarrhea that leaked out around the blockage occasionally) for 2 full weeks. He hadn't eaten in 5 days. He had thrown up water for 3 days. No laxatives had worked-even chugging an entire bottle of magnesium citrate had not been effective.
He lay in our bed in the fetal position, moaning, and trembling. I instinctively reached out to comfort him. His skin was cold to the touch. He was white as a ghost. I thought, "He's going to die." I begged him to go to another hospital. He refused, stating it wouldn't make any difference. He also said it would cost too much, as we were already on the hook for the two previous ER visits. He wanted to wait for the surgical referral he was given at Vanderbilt instead. However, we were told that referral wouldn't be processed until the middle of the following week.
I began to panic. I desperately searched for a place to get him a colonic on an emergency basis. It was a Saturday afternoon, and most places were closed. Those that were open were booked. In a last-ditch attempt, I reached out to a local place via email. I begged the owner to get my husband in right away, as I was terrified he wouldn't make it through the night. The owner called me almost immediately, and opened a slot for him the next morning.
It was Sunday, the next day. I dropped off my husband at the colon hydrotherapy center. About 90 minutes later, he called me to pick him up. He immediately asked for food. He said he felt a great deal better immediately, but there was still some blockage left. The hydrotherapist wanted him to come in for another colonic the next day; that way, she could give his body a short break.
He got that second colonic. All told, he had a seven pound blockage in his intestines that was too high up to be seen on the CT scan.
No one could tell us why the ileus occurred, and the ER doctors were perfectly content to let him die at home. This happened again within a year, but we booked him for a colonic right away the second time. It cleared up the blockage in one session.
I wholeheartedly believe colon hydrotherapy saved my husband's life!
I'm constipated. Do you think I should have this done? Will this practice harm my immune system? i drank a lot of water i ate fiber i did everything but i can't go to the toilet
@@deathstar9297 My husband refuses to have it done unless he absolutely needs it. It makes him feel nauseated, which the hydrotherapist said is normal. I've had it done due to chronic constipation, but it doesn't make me nauseated. Both of us feel better after a session. *This is not medical advice.* I'm not a doctor, but I feel it's safe as long as the hydrotherapist is highly trained, and knowledgeable.
What this doctor is ragging in about is complete hyperbole. We (colon hydrotherapists) DO NOT shove a tube up your ass not pressure wash your colon. We work gently and effectively to offer the relief that your dear doctor could not offer you in the first place. We also perform a complete health intake assessment to ensure that one is healthy enough for this procedure. Enough of this kind of nonsense!!
good story. I believe in it too. and those who make alot of comments about it actually have no idea about it because they have not even researched it. as with everything else, i am sure that something could go wrong such as this person is describing. Millions of Americans down pharmaceuticals everyday with a multitude of terrible side effects but noone is talking about that. Colonics can be quite an amazing therapy.
I couldn’t sit up for more than 10 minutes. Had a deep ache under my sacrum. I think it was due to toxicity from using the contraceptive sponge prior to this for a couple of years. The sponge was eventually banned due to toxic shock syndrome. I think I had a chronic built up of toxins. No Dr. Could help me and for 31/2 years I went through this. My boyfriend would transport me in his van from Dr. to Dr. I had to lay down in the back of his van. Was desperate and heading toward a wheelchair, so went for a series of 6 colonics-one every 3 days. In 2 weeks I could sit up and the ache was completely gone. I was astonished by this. Wasn’t a placebo cause I tried everything prior to this with great hope.
I can see how though if your’e old and the lining of your gut is fragile you need to be careful. Home colonics don’t use as much pressure as professional ones. Maybe start with enemas. No med advice here, just some ideas. Yes, be careful, everyone’s different. I was younger when I had them. But what is weird, this doc doesn’t mention the risk with colonoscopies. People have had perforations with those-you even have to sign a release from liability form. And they do a colonic prior to this test, don’t they? I think some of the meds used with these tests have black box warnings also.
Not to mention that these colonic cleanses also clear the 'good' bacteria that you need for healthy poops.
100%
That's genuinely what I thought the video was going to talk about. Lots of people don't know about how many micro-organisms are absolutely essential for health and instead just think "Germs bad"
those bacteria are in the small intestine, where food is still digested, the colonics don't reached that, it's only for large intestine where you only hold the crap.

@@angelac2228 impossible. You are born with a microbiome which is unique to you. Killing it will kill you in the long run and food cant help shit bc food gives almost 0% new bacteria.

So true story I had a co-worker that was going on and on about this supplement that you took to make you have a BM where you would allegedly release all of the trapped matter in your colon for over 5 years... I argued with her a little bit becoming frustrated that she didn't believe me that nothing stayed in there for more than 48 hours under any circumstances... and then I called in a board-certified gastroenterologist to support my argument.... But she disagreed with him too. You can lead a horse to water... But you can't teach her about plumbing.
It was actually pretty funny because we regularly booked colonoscopies for people and she gave them the instructions for doing the cleansing beforehand but she never put two and two together that obviously the last couple of metres of their digestive tract had to be completely clear for the colonoscopy to work so obviously even magnesium citrate would work for most people.... Yet there was this weird supplement that you could take that would make you have epic five-year BMS.... I'm pretty sure it was some sort of non soluble fiber because you had to take a big scoop of white stuff... Just know that even if you could call in an expert for testimony that doesn't mean that the stupid person you're arguing with will believe it so don't waste your time.
Was it psyllium husk? It's white and u do have to take a spoonful of it mixed with water and then drink it..
Was it bentonite clay? I've heard of people using that.
There was an easy way to shut down her arguments. Simply tell her to eat some canned corn for 3 days straight, then check to see what's in the toilet one to two days later. I can eat a lot of fibre in the morning and it will be coming out the other end by nightfall. I was shocked when I had peanuts in the morning and saw them that night again. 😂
@@kdphotos4691😂
I've had that done, but when I was much younger than now. It's better to get the fiber and water your body needs. Green's and fruit, along with warm herbal tea, is the most gentle.

Fiber fiber...
Lots of fresh onions and sometimes spicy chilli peppers😊...
That’s not always enough.
There’s several types of medications that can cause horrible constipation no matter what your diet is like.
Sometimes you absolutely have to choose between blood pressure meds or antiemetics and pooping normally.
@@noegojimmy Yeah, just make sure to include grains and legumes, the highest sources of fiber (and minerals and protein).
@@Annie_Annie__ More fibre will always help with that. If meds are messing with your digestion, more fiber will counteract that. It's simple honestly.
@@mycelia_ow Never grain, we haven't evolved to digest that shit properly.
Anything that could be safely eaten raw is without a doubt good for you.
Try eating raw wheat, or rather don't.
I agree with the doctor, when you go doing that stuff you should be thinking this probably isn't a good idea, just seems like a bad idea. Then I got to my thinking about flaming hot food like extremely hot wings, and you know how sore and painful your mouth can get, I always remember that at some point that isn't staying in my stomach and it has to pass, and it has been my experience it's known to burn twice only where I sit😱😳🥺😑.
I thought it only burns when mixed with oxygen so it doesn't burn your insides?
Everybody says so, but I never felt it burning on its way out. Apparently, my mouth is just so much more sensitive to spiciness. Or it gets neutralised somewhere in my gut
Unless a doctor tells you to do something its same to say you should mess about with anything
I disagree to an extent especially in regards to psychological medicines such as anti depressants
Just eat a decent amount of fiber there is no business of water going in soo deep lol.
I always ate one big papaya if i have constipation and I'm good to go in the evening 😌
And lots of water too.
Works for most people, but there are medications and conditions that make your bowels move too slowly, and you're left with chronic constipation. Which sucks.
Right. You do know high fiber diet actually aggravates constipation? No? Well that figures.
Of course you have high risk of acute complications happening (like perforation) but on the long term you can cause yourself severe hyponatremia because that water you introduce in your colon attracts the salt from your cells, when you flush the water out you flush the salt as well. And not to mention you also destroy your natural gut bacteria. Overall it really does more harm
Didn’t think it that way
But I guess it depend on the duration of the “flushing” and the frequency
IMO osmotic imbalance wouldn’t occur
That's why being gay is stupid 😂

I agree with you, the colonic irrigation does work
Having colonic irrigation has been one of the best decisions I’ve made towards wellness. There are contraindications as with any procedure & special precautions especially for the elderly
Same with vaginal douching. Totally unnecessary! Our bodies take care of our insides just fine. Wash the outside but leave the internal parts alone! My Doctor had the scheduling office remind women to not douche before appointments. They can’t do proper PAP Smears if ya do!
It's kinda two different animals. If you're doing butt stuff it's more sanitary to douche first, and if you've got a horse in the barn it can hurt like hell. Hopefully there's no shit in your vagina that would need flushing out before sex.

Eat an Indian bael (Aegle marmelos) a day to avoid constipation and it also help to normalize your poo.
If you hear of something that is supposed to “clean out” your body, remember that your body does that on its own. Your kidneys and liver, and the ecosystem in your gut, vagina, or anywhere else, don’t need help with this. If it does, though, see a doctor, not someone with no medical training, who makes things up as they go along. Good grief.
Thanks Beth😂
Not when you have parasites it doesn’t!!
What you're describing is extremely rare. I've had many sessions of colon hydrotherapy and I ended up feeling so much better, felt lighter and lost weight. It's an amazing procedure to help those with constipation and digestion issues. One session is like pooping in a toilet 15 times
People who offer such “treatments” should be directly liable without the possibility to have their liability waived by their victims, and the entire chain up to the manufacturer should be just as directly liable…

Key takeaway: ANY medical procedure is high risk if you are elderly. So it’s nothing wrong with this, just being elderly or having preexisting conditions.

Colonic flush... I'm assuming that's like a pressurized version of an enema? An enema we use gravity and warm distilled water to gently put water in the colon to assist with constipation. Is the idea of a colonic flush to try to actually flush everything out?!
think of a high pressure car wash hose stuck deep inside you. Actually, it takes 3 days, because the first 3 days, they give you a strong laxative and you can't eat, then they stick a hose derp inside and power wash the entire joint🤦
not just a deep enema. it's a whole procedure
It only cleanses the large intestine. At a low pressure of water as you can control the pressure. It’s not a water hose or anywhere near as big or can facilitate that pressure lol! You would have to get multiple treatments and it sounds like the patient did not disclose his medical history of that happened during the procedure. No laxatives involved. You can take a probiotic after in the small chance all of your good bacteria is cleansed and you get C.Diff.

I showed my mother 2 videos about homeopathy, and she still fucking buys it. Omg. It really aggravates me that she's scientifically illiterate.

I believe c means it was mixed in 100 ml of water however many times the number is, but x means it was mixed in 10 ml of water however many times the number is. 30c means there is basically no active ingredient in it at all. Because they take one drop then mix it then another drop and mix it 30 times over, but this mercuris vivus solution was 8x, meaning one ml of mercury in 10 ml of water then one ml of that solution in 10 ml 8 times over, meaning the solution is one part mercury for every 100,000,000 parts of water, and one drop of water is about 3.34x10^22 molecules. Homeopathy is insane.

An enema is not the same as a colon irrigation
@@profsoakwhat's the difference between them?
@@saranya7892 Enema is hand pumped, from a container, it lubricates and softens whatever is at the end of the pipe. It only takes a few minutes
A colonic irrigation is far more invasive and involves shoving a long pipe that functions like a pressure hose very deep inside of you, pumping and spraying high pressure water to clean it out using a machine pump. Colonic irrigation also involves taking a laxative solution to induce diarrhea prior to the invasive cleansing.
You can do an enema on yourself just fine, just have you head screwed on and obviously don't do anything stupid, however you really should never get a colonic irrigation unless your doctor prescribes it to you for very specific reasons. However colonic irrigations like this are being done for a fee by non-professionals under the guise of "health and wellness".
As someone else said, enemas are much safer. But they are not meant to be done every day, only use when you need one.
Thank you for sharing your one horrible story and generalizing it for the entire group of us. Incredible scientific reasoning
I know a case personally where the elderly had late stage pancreatic cancer and needed help with enema fairly regularly in their last few weeks, this happened despite daily doses of laxatives, i am unsure what alternative you think would have been safer for them
I think the important thing is to recognize that these irrigations are medical procedures. As such, their benefit should outweigh their risks (and basically all medical procedures do have risks). Furthermore, they should be performed by people who have been trained in performing them. In the case you described, the patient can find significant relief and I suspect it was performed by someone trained. And thus the benefit was high and the risk small. However, it's a different story with people who find scammy articles online about "detoxing your body" or such. These people are not really sick, so the expected benefit is little. If they're doing it at home by themselves, this also raises the risk of severe complications. So I think this is why the case you described is very different from the one described in the video.
@@itsmejulia1 thanks for responding, that's a fair comment, and yes the aforementioned patient received enema through medical professionals
An enema is delivered with much less pressure, so it's safer, I believe. I imagine that when medical staff have to give one to an elderly patient they take even more care.
Enemas and irrigations are two different things.
@@TerrariaLuvr Exactly. An enema only goes in as far as the rectum (last part of digestive tract) to help expel feaces... colonic washes push water up throughout the large intestine under pressure.
Not necessary and not worth the risk. If people have an impacted bowel... they should seek medically trained help, not blow water up their colon.
What's the difference between this cleanse and an enema ?
One is a machine run pipe the latter is a hand pump and if the anti bacterial liquid reaches further up you can no longer can get as much nutrition since good bacteria digests foods for you
enema is just lubrication. It clears just what's ready to come out. can be done at home. lubricates what's at the ext pipe in a few minutes.
cleanse takes 3 days. first you drink a solution to give you diarrhea, then they stick a hose DEEP into you and use a pressure hose like a car wash hose to clear out every nook and cranny.
it's very invasive, and should only be done with your doctor's prescription, for a purpose like a test. but people are getting this done inappropriately , by non professionals, at beauty spas.

@@samiaramdani7569 I'm constipated. Do you think I should have this done? Will this practice harm my immune system? i drank a lot of water i ate fiber i did everything but i can't go to the toilet
So scary! I get colonoscopies every 2 years. That's enough colon activity for me 😅
I watched something years ago about a couple who gave themselves daily enemas using brewed coffee. It was gravity fed though so I don't think they needed to worry about a perforating power wash...
Didn’t Diana have colonic irrigation? Why didn’t they advise her of its dangers?
At least half of A&E would clear if people stopped putting stuff in places it doesn't belong lol
For Americans, A&E is what the United Kingdom calls an ER.
The best colon cleanse is doing a multiple day water fast. 2-3 days. Your body will release everything in the colon
Im actually glad this appeared because just two days ago this / you were the person (the doctor) i wanted to ask this question i had. Are douches okay to do?
Don't know if anyone asked this already but does this motion/feeling apply to basic "douching"? Compare contrast doc, anyone?
I think I can help answer this one! Douches are ok as long as you are using clean water, going slow and keeping it shallow. The problem with colonics is that they send absurdly pressurized water deep into the most fragile part of your colon. If you stay in the rectum (the part of your intestine closest to the exit) and use very gentle pressure there aren’t really too many bad things that can happen. If it feels uncomfortable, then you’re probably causing irritation, so you’d want to reposition.
No! It's a self cleaning system, nothing to irrigate completely unnecessary unless it's prescribed
don't douche! whatever for?just cleanse externally with water like normal
@@patriciatoomingtheplantpar2558 The vagina is a self cleaning system. The rectum is not! There’s no medical need to clean it yourself, but there are some intimate reasons you may want to do so, in which case it is safe if done properly.
@@politereminder6284 Hopefully this isn’t met with judgement but I would like to answer you honestly: Anal douching is not necessary by any means, but is sometimes used to prepare for intimate acts involving that region.
No satvic movement channel is haramed in this video 😅😅😅
Speak for yourself! With all the crazy stimulus influencers do… this isn’t so bad when it’s short! Sometimes the hand whaling is to much…. And don’t get me started in the loud and sometimes inappropriate music.
Back in the day you had to get an enema when you went into labor. I hated that and never had another one so why would anyone do the cleanse lol.
yeah I got one before my c- section too.... are they not the norm anymore?
@@sisterssquad909 my daughter never had to have one so I am not sure when they stopped making you have them before.
The kidneys and liver are self cleaning, aren’t they Doc?
Yes and the colon
Ppl used to give bowel wash - something similar to what Dr. Karan talks - to patients with hepatic encephalopathy. But the practice is abandoned long time back Coz of these risks. At the same time giving it does not improve outcome
I have to have a colonoscopy before age 30 due to my mom's stage IV colon cancer before age 50. It's in 2 days and I am freaking terrified. Tomorrow I have to do the prep which is called "golytely", a huge container of electrolyte solution and polyethylene glycol. Plus ducolax. It creates a waterfall of terror situation in the bathroom. Then the day of the procedure, just knowing I will be going down for a nap under anesthesia, waking up knowing what happened while I was "asleep" 😖 and I'm terrified of what the doctor might find since the type of cancer my mom has starts in childhood with a carpeting of tumors in the colon, and I've had IBS my whole life... I'm a young mom. I'm doing this so I can get the necessary treatment if the surgeon finds anything so I can be around for my kids but it is absolutely terrifying. People are concerned about so many petty things nowadays and it's a real eye opener when you could be facing cancer before the age of 30.
Some people's digestive systems don't get rid of the waste properly and it remains inside of the colon
It's funny that you've chosen today of all days to uploadabout stoma. I have a friend whose a rn and was telling me about her patient with the same problem just yesterday, and how the smell was stuck in her nose and giving her constant nausea.
No joke, the smells do stick with you some times! The nausea probably comes from the fact that she knows the reason she can still smell it is because she has some of the particles clinging to the inside of her nasal cavity! 😅
Yep something going in and not out is usually bad
This guy really enjoys talking about stomach and anus related health topics.
his specialty
This “doctor “ has never CURED or HEALED a single person in his career 😂
Do I have to worry about this happening with an enema?
No
@@DrKaran thank you. You are a legend
Colonic irrigation.. huh?🤣 that’s a sentence alright haha
Listen to Dr Karan - NO butt stuff!
Haha
And so what if I like it, gently?
yikes would not like that
Nope nope nope
Doctors got some nice eyelashes 😏
What about if you want to have some backdoor fun and you want to swipe the floor before entering?
Use an enema not a colonic flush. Enemas are way safer.
That backdoor fun you call, is more dangerous. People get perforation from that activity, and it weakens anal splinters. High risk low reward, YALL aren’t educated on this so sad
@@crystalnoname6046 i had to Google enema, and I thought it's the same as a colonic flush. I also didn't know, that some use special liquids for that...🤨
All right, then an enema, with water and a little pumping ball is fine? 😁
Look no crazy hand movements and I still think the info is good!
Be careful using showerheads... sudden temperature fluctuations! Ouch!
Your video came across my timeline as I am looking up this procedure because I am thinking about scheduling it myself. What do you suggest a person like myself do to clean out my colon? Also what do you think I should ask the professionals that are administering the procedure about side effects...
Can you discuss Linzess, a medication that is prescribed for chronic constipation? I have an elderly relative who really suffers with it, and I wonder if it is safe for her to use? Thank you.
Since it's a prescription, best to talk about that with her personal prescribing physician about the pros and cons
Bottoms: Guess I'll die
For the love of god just use condoms and lube
A colonic cleanse with a jet is different from, say, a normal laxative or enema. You can still use dulcolax and suppositories to prepare for the deed
@@empyie666The colon is meant as a transit for feces.
If there is a constipation issue, then testing to find out why is better.
Examples:
Thyroid disease
Diet (less fibre can be better)
Hydration
Prescription med side effect
Nutritional deficiency
Gastroparesis
Diabetes
and more.
Another thing to mention is that If you're going to be with your partner and engage in that, is that the rectum is different from the colon. You really just need to empty the rectum, you don't need a Full cleanse through the colon. The colon is a lot bigger!
@@empyie666hb guys and a guy doin it
It Is Not dangerous if done per instructions
It is very freeing & healing
I'd rather have a colonoscopy....
Noted to never mess the back door
I'm from Romania and I remember my mum doing this to us when we were children..I think the water had garlic in it.she probably had no idea of the dangers.
I keep thinking about Nutty Professor, The Klumps and the dinner scene.
Good to know, Doc. Ty. ❤
So what does he advise for constipation and bloating? How can we detox our colon?
Colonic mucosa is quite good at absorbing certain substances. Many medications can be administered rectally.
We had a case where a gentleman had problems vomiting and couldn't keep enough alcohol down to prevent him going into serious alcohol withdrawal.
His caring and ingenious wife decided she would administer rectal vodka via an enema.
He quickly achieved sufficient alcohol level to end his life.
Be careful what you put in there, people!
Yogis have been sticking bamboo up their you know whats for ages. You've stated one case from an elderly woman that was frail to try to discredit something that has worked for thousands of people
Disimpaction works but just for the lower portion of rectum.
