I posted this on Shhh a while back.
=====================
I would recommend it.
I went to Samui for a week long fast and course of colonic irrigation.
I did it because i had been drinking to excess and eating too much fast food and red meat, and felt like resetting my body and trying to get healthy.
You basically stop eating, and are given fruit juices, and vitamins etc to keep you going as well as the wheat grass to flush you through.
This isnt bad for you, and if i can stop eating for a week, then anyone can.
You irrigate your colon daily, and after the first couple of days you can decide if you want coffee or garlic in it, or can have just plain water.
It was all self administered, and although not the greatest experience i've ever had, wasnt painful.
After the 3rd day or so you really notice the difference in what is coming out, and you see that you are getting a good cleaning out.
The stuff that was coming out in the end was like the jelly from a pork pie, but dark green and stank, so it was good to get that off of the walls of the intestines.
You also do a liver flush which gets rid of alot of white "stones" from your liver.
I had fucking loads, and it worried me a little that i had treated my body so badly for so long.
That was the worst part actually, as you get a right dose of the shits from the liver salts, but its all for the good and only lasts a morning.
After the 4th day i felt happy for no particular reason, and just generally contented.
They reckon this is your natural state, and normal after getting rid of so many toxins from your system.
A natural high if you will.
I left the place a week later a stone lighter, full of energy and alot happier in myself.
This all changed when i met my mates, and started retoxing again, but thats another story.
The downside is that you are fairly hungry for the most part, and i had some fucked up repeating dreams about cheeseburgers and spaghetti bolognese.
Also it ended up being about £700 for the week, which considering the basic accomodation may not be considered great value, but i suppose you are paying for the treatment.
You also get a Thai massage daily, as well as yoga classes which at first i didnt like the sound of, but turned out to be a challenging work out and made me feel alot more flexible.
It is right on the beach and is a nice spot, apart from the fact the ferry pier is right next to it.
I spent a fair bit of time just dossing in a hammock and staring out to sea which was a good mental rest.
Have a look on
http://www.thinkdetox.com/Its not as airy fairy as it sounds, but i reckon it could be if you get a hardcore bunch there when you are there.
I was lucky and had a mix of people who i would never have met before, and turned out to be sound characters.
Hope that helps mate.

==================
All in all a good experience for me, and whether or not there is any basis for it working it made me feel alot better.
