Removing toxins from the body does help the body to lose weight, since fat is partially a way for the body to defend itself from toxins. Some fat is a stress response to toxins, and the stresses from the acidosis caused by toxins. Fat can have a snow-balling effect as excessive weight makes removal of unwanted materials more difficult, while overall weakening the immune system; leading to even more weight gain, stress, and/or Diabetes eventually.
While this method might actually help a little, I do not recommend it. There are better methods which are much cleaner and safer than this approach, and which do not compound the problems by disrupting the intestinal flora, or risking an infection. One of the best things generally going for alternative medicine is that it is less risky and invasive, and it has been that way for reasons. The practitioners usually remember the principal: "First do no harm".

Colonics help in removing stuff that clog your colon. The main aim of colonics is to help relieve constipation as well as de-clog the colon so it's not really intended for weight loss. If you are interested, you could also try colon cleansing or detox diet to lose weight.
Most Colonic therapist will instruct you to take a probiotic to increase the amount of healthy bacteria in your colon before and after. We live in a red meat society and you probably have worms of some sort in your colon. A friend of mine did a series of 4 in a month. He eats a lot of raw fish and lightly cooked red meat, not only did he loose 7 lbs and have a flatter pooch, but he also noticed a lot of worms.
Not in the long run. Initially you will lose some straight afterwards (in the same way that you would if you overdosed on laxatives- you will have an empty intestine). However they have no more effect than that. Also, the risk of getting peritonitis or a punctured colon is also worth considering before you embark upon colonics.
