Author: Alan LimThat is the perception being “cultivated” here. http://www.curedisease.info/2010/01/colon-cancer-statistics-2009/">Colon Cancer Statistics 2009 However, after reading medical literature on this issue, it came as a shock to know that one does not necessarily have to die if one does not undergo chemotherapy.

Colon Cancer Surgery BagIn the early days, they were known as "clysters." Enemas are a popular way of detoxifying the digestive tract. One can find extensive information on the various types of enemas by visiting leading online resources devoted to the subject. Enemas act as a bowel stimulant. When an enema is performed, the patient expels feces. Bowel simulating enemas usually consist of water, sometimes with baking soda or a mild soap dissolved in it.
