Am I old enough to get a colonic?
I’m a 15 year old semipro ballerina who wants to lose weight (now im 5’2" and 102 lbs). I have done a lot of colon cleansing laxatives but now me and my mom want me to get a colonic. I have also done alot of dieting. Would it be effective? How much weight would I lose?

No it would not be effective, and you would never lose weight permanently. Colonics are absurd quackery. They can often be dangerous.
just throw up after every meal like i do, works like a charm.
The amount of weight you will use will be relative to the contents of your colon, and thus this small weight loss is very temporary. You run the risk of damage to the rectum, amoebiasis if improperly sterilized equipment is used, electrolyte imbalances, and frequent use of colon cleansing products and procedures can cause dependence on laxatives or enemas to defecate.
Also , there is no such thing as ”detox’ in the respect, as real detoxification of foreign substances happens in the liver and kidneys.
Colon cleansing is an alt med scam, and should be avoided.

Look in your Yellow pages of your local phone book under Colonic Irrigation and call the therapist for professional advice about this. I don’t think that 15 is to young but the weight loss is very temporary.
