I am trying to find out if there is any
other definition for colonic in the
medical field that is different that the
usual cleansing of the colon with fluids
via the rectum. Is there some other
medical definition for what this is?

Spontaneous Colonic Posted: 12-12-05 19:01pm
I've had both colonics and enemas. As for
colonics, i've pretty much found that the
"mainstream" medical community does not
really do colonics on any great scale.
That's not to say that mds and rns and
others in the medical field don't do them,
because they are out there and do these
procedures. Then too, those, for the most
part who are into administering colonics,
are for the mosrt part , though, again not
all ,are opposed to enemas for various
reasons. So, I think to sort of guide you
in this area, i'd say that the use of the
terms colonic irrigation or cleansing is
more likely to be the terms used in
naturopathic, holistic and alternative
medicine practices. And in the mainstream
medical community, you'll find the use of
"enemas" as fairly common when the
procedure is required. I think you're
pretty limited to three major terms used
for the introduction of water into the
rectum for the purpose of cleansing the
colon as enema, colonic irrigation or
colonic cleansing. And finally, i've
heard pros and cons for both enemas and
colonics, and I think it depends on who
you go to and their respective personal
feelings on the issue of colonics and
enemas. Please post if you have any more
info on this.
