Medical dodctors do't usually do colonics. As a matter of fact, they generally don't approve of colonics and are not trained in the procedure. Also, most do not favor enemas and are inclined to recommend laxitives and drinking lots of water and eating fiber. This is all too bad that the trend is in this direction since I feel there is benefit to colonics and enemas. Personally, I'm inclined toward enemas because of the minimal cost and feel that done properly they are as effective as colonics. They are, however, more time consuming.

Most colonic practitioners are not of any particular training dicipline..a few are R.N.'s, a few have formal training by the "Colonic" organization, some have been trained by existing therapists and perhaps a very few come from the naturopathic area. There are even a very few chiropractors who are way afar from their field of skelital (sp?0 manipulation. I think this web site provides a lot of good information although a few bizarre opinions surface from time to time. Hope this helps.
