Intestinal Irrigation: Why, How and When to Flush the Colon

Intestinal Irrigation: Why, How and When to Flush the Colon

Within the last three decades the diagnosis and treatment of bowel troubles have been greatly changed through improved instruments, technique, hygienic measures, and various remedial agents. The domain of surgery of the anus, rectum, etc., has been surprisingly limited, and that of gastro-intestinal hygiene enlarged, together with knowledge of mans assimilative and eliminative organs. Systemic and local hygiene has supplanted drugs and surgery in the treatment of diseases of the anus, rectum, sigmoid flexure, and vermiform appendix. Indeed, the domain of surgery will be restricted to what are still considered incurable diseases if the suggestions of this volume are widely adopted. From a clinical experience extending over a period of thirty-three years, however,as a specialist in diseases of the anus, rectum, and intestinal machinery generally,the author feels warranted in maintaining that, if hygio-therapic measures were taken by both physicians and laymen, surgical clinics and hospitals for operating on anal and rectal diseases and the administering of countless medicinal remedies would enter the stage of therapeutic oblivion. The present work is more comprehensive in its scope than its title, Intestinal Irrigation, would at first thought seem to indicate. It is a practical book on home relief for all the symptoms of that form of internal inflammation known as proctitis and colitis. The measures that may safely be taken by the victim himself, without consulting a physician, are minutely explained; and, that he may understand his own case, every chapter goes more or less extensively into anatomical, physiological, and pathological details. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
