By the way, I'm not saying that colonic irrigation is necessrily a bad idea. And I have little doubt that people can feel much better as the result of having one. I just don't necessarily believe the common reasoning that is propounded, to explain why people feel better: that stuff that's been there for years finally gets washed out. I do think stuff you ate last week, or yesterday, could still be there, and be making more energy demands, for processing, than the stuff is worth -- in proportion to the amount of energy or building materials that it can supply. It has a low profit margin. And that could make you feel, umm, crappy.<br><br><br><br>
If you are operating at a loss -- the "momentary" energy needed to process what is in your gi is greater than the amount of energy it is supplying -- you will feel ill, lack get-up-and-go. You will usually feel better if you simply wait long enough for your processing system to get over the "hump" -- the point where, after processing has proceeded for awhile, the energy supplied, at any moment, beginss exceeding the energy needed to process it, at that moment. Depending on what you ate, this could take a while, or it could happen never. Getting rid of all of it will give you more get-up-and-go right away. But if you were to do this too frequently, you would obviously start getting rid of so much matter that you won't have enough to supply your spools, buffers (your fatty tissue), and you will start either decreasing in size, or feeling worn out. So it can make you feel better for a short period of time. In the long term, it is wasteful; it wastes food. And, for the most part, you would tend to feel better anyway, if you <b>didn't</b> do it, and feel better for a longer time -- but you would have to <b>wait</b> to feel better.
