The best approach of all focuses on reducing the self-generated level of toxemia, cleansing to remove deposits of old toxemia, rebuilding the organs of elimination and digestion to prevent the formation of new toxemia, and then, to alleviate the current symptoms and make it easier for the patient to be patient while their body heals, the healer raises artificially and temporarily the vital force with vitamins, massage, acupressure, etc.  This wise and benevolent physician is going to have the highest cure rate among those wise patients who will accept the prescription, but will not make as much money because the patients permanently get better and no longer need a physician.  There’s not nearly as much repeat business.

Colonics are one of the best types of medicine.  They clean up deposits of old toxemia (though there are sure to be other deposits in the body’s tissues colonics do not touch).  Colon cleansing reduces the formation of new toxemia from putrefying fecal matter (but dietary reform is necessary to maximize this benefit).  Most noticeable to the patient, a colonic immediately alleviates current symptoms by almost instantly reducing the current toxic load.  A well-done enema or colonic is such a powerful technique that a single one will often make a severe headache vanish, make an onsetting cold go away, end a bout of sinusitis, end an asthmatic attack, reduce the pain of acute arthritic inflammation, reduce or stop an allergic reaction.  Enemas are also thrifty:  they are self-administered and can prevent most doctor’s visits seeking relief for acute conditions.

Diseases of the colon itself, including chronic constipation, colitis, diverteculitis, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, and mucous colitis, are often cured solely by an intensive series of several dozen colonics given close together.  Contrary to popular belief, many people think that if they have dysentery or other forms of loose stools that a colonic is the last thing they need.  Surprisingly, a series of colonics will eliminate many of these conditions as well.  People with chronic diarrhea or loose stools are usually very badly constipated.  This may seem a contradiction in terms but it will be explained shortly.

A century ago there was much less scientific data about the functioning of the human body.  Then it was easy for a hygienically-oriented physician to come to believe that colonics were the single best medicine available.  The doctor practicing nothing but colonics will have a very high rate of cure and a lot of very satisfied clients.  Most importantly, this medicine will have done no harm.
