high colonics

I have frequently wonder what, exactly, a high colonic is. Is there, for example, a low colonic. I know it has something to do with new age health and such, but exactly what it is remains a mystery to me. If anyone could enlighten me I would appreciate it.

Are you referring about this column by Cecil Adams?

Does colonic irrigation do you any good?

Under the assumption that’s what’s meant, I am closing this here and moving this to the appropriate forum: Comments on Cecil’s columns.
