Cleansing Techniques...

Hi there, I have been, off and on, reading a book on Kriya Yoga. I was trucking along fine and found may interesting thoughts.. but I have to admit, I feel a little strange about the cleansing techniques. Some of them just don't seem safe. Such as the stomach cleansing- where you train yourself to swallow 3-5 ft of cloth and then pull it out of your mouth. 

Are these techniques still used, or is it an old practice that has fallen by the wayside? Are there different newer techniques that might be a little more sound?
