Depends.  There are people who swear by it.  On the other hand, by
conventional medical standards, it's a totally useless and potentially
hazardous procedure.

The basis for doing it is that "all kinds of junk gets stuck to your
colon and sits in there and poisons you" blah blah blah.  If you were
to ask a doctor, he or she would tell you that nothing sticks to the
colon; in fact, the colon is structured to make it nearly impossible
for anything to stick to it.
