Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Re " enemas, Coloma's & Colonics Note to of Dewberry Hill. Due to an accident that happened 60 or so years ago, I have had to enemas and then colonics on a regular basis. I started out using regular Fountain syringes, then went to using the JBL Cascade sit on enema bag. I wore out 2 of these over the years. The last one I bought back in 1950 cast $35.00 which was a lot of money in those days for an enema bag. I had my first series of colonics when I was in the service. Following 6 weeks of Basic Training when I was unable to do enemas. my bowels were really impacted. So over the years I have used a variety of enema bags, colomea boards, and home colonic units. I now have a standard professional home colonic unit set up in my bathroom so that I can do weekly colonics. Our summer home, which is an RV type trailer I use a coloma board for tor weekly clean out. And have a professional colonic done when needed. We have just returned from an extended tour of the eastern part of the U.S. We were gone 16 weeks so I had a great opportunity to compare various colon therapy procedures and equipment. If I remember right 7 of the colonics was done using either the Jimmy (2) or the Libbe (5) Therapy equipment. By far the most comfortable colonic unit I have ever used has to be the Libbe It is almost lie a reclining chair. I found the Jimmy to be very old fashioned looking and not any more comfortable than my home coloma board. Of these seven open or gravity type colonic unit the therapist only came in, turned on the equipment, set the timer and all but one left the room to come back about every 10 minutes or so to see if all was OK. The one that stayed sat in a rocker and knitted. And we had an interesting conversation about colon problems. As far as I am concerned other than more comfortable, the open units were no better or worse than my own coloma Board. And the clean out was about the same. The other 9 colonics were given on closed system using a speculum which is connected to the water supply and discharge is through the drain hose with the colon therapist inserting the speculum, controlling the pressure and temperature. All of the therapist stayed at my side through out the treatment, massaging my colon to help move the water in, and to help move the water and colon contents out. This is also a very comfortable procedure. For me, the most uncomfortable part of the entire colonic is the insertion of the speculum. Even when I insert it into my own rectum I hate it. Actually it is not all that uncomfortable on insertion and once in place is totally comfortable. I guess with me it is a phobia of anyone messing around with my anus, including me. In conclusion, I would recommend that anyone planning on doing colonics check with the therapist to find out what type of equipment they use, and if at all possible go with the closed system. The cost is usually ($50.00 to $60.00) the same, as a matter of fact I had to pay $65.00 for a colonic using the Jimmy which was the least comfortable unit used. There are probably 4 or 5 different manufacturers of Closed Colonic machines and equipment. They are all very similar n performance and all meet USDA Standards for Colon Therapy equipment. The biggest variable is the Therapist and I found all of the ones that I had contact with to be very professional. I did try and make sure that the therapist were IACT Trained and Certified. I hope that this might help answer questions for some of the readers, and I will be happy to exchange information with anyone. Contact me at my above E-mail address or write to this site.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 I know this is to Wanda, but it looks to me as if she just might not understand the difference between chat, when you don't want someone to think your left and sending a message to the group. That's what it looks like to me. Re: Digest Number 1239 > Hi Wanda, do you think newbie Ross really spells like that, or > maybe she is just having fun?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 , Stick with the diet and don't worry about your spelling. Don't try to drop all the avoids at once, so your body will adjust easier. Dr. D'Adamo made this suggestion himself. Do not hesitate to ask if you have a question. There are some answers to questions when you have the time at www.dadamo.com. In the right hand top column there are articles from Heidi, Dr Bron, and Dr.D'Adamo. Dr D'adamo no longer takes questions, but Heidi does. There is a lot of information in the archives of each of those. If you have a question, or don't understand something, that's what we who have been here a while are here for. Please don't let the others put you off.

Most researchers say 2 parts Calcium to 1 part Magnesium. Some researchers say the ratio should be more like 1 to 1. Magnesium does require some getting used to by the body, hence, start with small doses several times daily and work up. Many AEDs depelete Magnesium, also. When my son seizes, I give him Magnesium and B complex immediately. I have diaagnoses of FMS and CFIDS and my body needs at least 1200 mg Magnesium daily to minimize muscle spasms severe enough to pull my vertebrae out of alignment. mjh MJH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 What is the difference between cocunut oil, like Fractionated Coconut, or any other? I have organic and was wanting to make an oil but it calls for Fractionated Coconut and I am not sure if I can us what I have. Fractionated coconut oil is different from 76 degree coconut oil which has a melting point of 76 degrees. Fractionated is liquid and typically added to lotions - absorbs wonderfully into the skin.
