Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 can they sedate you? i have had a lower GI and a colonoscopy and now i'm really weird about things going 'up there'. From: " joanneinpain " <joanneinpain@...> Reply- Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 01:32:08 -0000 Subject: what are colonics? They are amazing! I had heard about them before but had no clue about the importance of keeping our bowels clear and running like a steam engine. We should be having 3 bowel movements a day. If not, we are storing all those toxins in the colon and eventually it builds up on the walls of the colon causing a " mucoid plaque " . This can stay there for years and cause auto toxicity (self poisoning). Colonics are similar to an enema but it reaches much higher. The colon is 5 feet long so an enema really doesn't get it. And one colonic doesn't even scratch the surface. The water goes in and out with the therapist sitting by your side asking you when you feel full. You need to try to hold water in while she massages your abdomen for a while and sometimes it take a while before the flood gates open. They use between 25 and 30 gallons of water per session! It is not painful although I felt a release afterwards called a healing crisis. Tears seem to flow freely and you feel wiped out almost like having a baby. There are ways to prepare for your colonic to make it more beneficial like fasting for 2 days on vegies and fruits and using psyllium fiber. My therapist has you do a cleansing drink the night before with lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, onion and ceyenne pepper. It is gross but effective. The cost is about 60 dollars and it takes over an hour. Have fun! Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Wow, I don't know about all that! I'm not sure I could do that. But, I guess if I don't start getting things moving right, I'll have to do something. Pam > They are amazing!
