“If colonics really worked, there’d be more research.” Not necessarily. 💰
A proper clinical trial needs ethics approval, researchers, recruitment, data management and safety monitoring, and that costs serious money. Most big trials are funded by drug and device companies, because they need the evidence to get their products approved and sold.
Colon hydrotherapy doesn’t have that engine. There’s no major sponsor and no regulatory deadline pushing anyone to fund large trials, and it’s mostly delivered by small clinics and independent practitioners, not universities and hospitals.
That explains why the research is limited. It doesn’t prove colonics work, and it doesn’t prove they don’t. “There aren’t many studies” is not the same as “science tested it and it failed.”
Before you trust any health headline, ask who paid for the research. 🔍
