Hereās a question that might ruffle some feathersā¦
āIf colon hydrotherapy is so beneficial, why doesnāt my doctor recommend it?ā
Well⦠did you know colonic irrigation actually has a history in medical practice? It was discussed in medical literature more than 100 years ago, studied by physicians, and colonic irrigation equipment could even be found in hospitals during the early 20th century.
So maybe the conversation shouldnāt end with:
āMy doctor doesnāt offer it, so it must not have value.ā
Maybe we should be asking more questions.
What determines which therapies stay inside our modern healthcare system?
What role do research, standardization, insurance coverage and reimbursement play?
And where does supportive, preventative and holistic care fit into the conversation?
Colonics are not a cure-all, and they do not replace medical care from your doctor. But colon hydrotherapy didnāt suddenly appear on Instagram as some trendy ādetox.ā It has a documented history in medicine.
Today, it primarily exists outside conventional medical care ā and I think that history is worth knowing.
Your doctor can be an incredibly important part of your healthcare team without being the only resource you use to care for your body.
Get curious. Ask questions. Learn how your digestive system works.
And maybe itās time we stop treating talking about P**P like itās taboo. š©š The colon deserves a seat at the wellness table.
