No. The earliest recorded practice of colon
hydrotherapy is in 1500B.C. in the ancient Egyptian
document, Ebers Papyrus which dealt with the practice
of medicine. The father of modern medicine Hypocrites
(4th and 5th century B.C.), recorded using enemas for
fever therapy. James A. Wiltsie, M.D. and Joseph E.G.
Waddington, M.D. are modern physicians who promoted
the value of colon hydrotherapy in preventing ill
health and chronic disease conditions. Today, colon
hydrotherapy is available on specialized equipment
certified by the FDA.
