"Intestinal Irrigation: Why, How, and When to Flush the Colon" by Alcinoous B. Jamison, M.D. is a practical health guide that discusses gastrointestinal hygiene, likely written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the benefits of enemas as a method for flushing the colon and addresses various bowel disorders, particularly inflammation-related conditions like proctitis and colitis. It aims to offer readers relief from constipation and a better understanding of their digestive health. The opening of this work outlines the author's perspective on gastrointestinal health, emphasizing the historical importance and practicality of enemas for individuals experiencing constipation and related symptoms. Jamison provides insights from his thirty-three years of clinical experience, arguing that many diseases can stem from proctitis, particularly in the context of modern lifestyles that neglect proper bowel care. He critiques both medical professionals and laymen for their approaches to bowel health, urging a greater focus on cleaning the gastrointestinal tract as a foundational aspect of good health. Through this initial exploration, readers are introduced to the author's belief in the necessity of regular internal cleansing methods to counteract common ailments linked to digestive dysfunction.
