colonics/enemas

[Guest guest]

Has anyone ever looked into having child (that's old enough) get

colonic? So much is said about the health of the colon...I am just

starting to read " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " where it describes

undigested foods laying in the gut. It seems like it would be a good

place to start.

The intro SCD has a remarkable way of helping the body to naturaly

poop all this cr** out. YOu are right the gut is full of

junk...thanks to eating the SADiet (standard American Diet).

Although the most care needs to be played.... in the past Dr. Haas did

do enemas with his patients also. But to be honest this can be very

DANGEROUS and this is why ELAINE did not mention it in her book! If a

child has an undiagnosed stenosis or kink...it can cause hemorage of

the intestine and death. When doing an enema you first force the

stuff/bacteria/and bad gut guys up before it comes out again...this

also in controversial.

Maybe do what we did an stick with the intro for a good ten days. If

you can tolerate it that long. Detoxes the body, plus causes one heck

of a die off. We truly lost so much poop, it was truly alarming that

first two weeks.

Sincerely, Antoinette (entire family of five SCDiet going on 3

months...and finnaly healing)

I apologize. I asked this question too soon. After posting, I found

a reference to use of enemas in McBride's book. It discusses the use

of them in cases of severe/painful constipation. She talks of them

being " safe and effective procedure " that is " as old as humans are. "

While " a lot of people in the West find the subject of enemas

repulsive...the enema kit is a common tool found in family bathrooms

in many eastern countries, performed without medical assistance or

prescription... " Then she goes on to describe how to perform one and

suggests using a probiotic in the water. She goes on to say that

someone with persistent constipation should have a daily enema every

night before bed followed with a warm therapeutic bath (epsom salts,

sea weed powder, cider vinegar, or sea salt). She hopes that the

diet/supplements will relieve constipation, but for cases where it

persists, use enemas. Constipation is extremely harmful to the whole

body and lays the ground for all sorts of digestive disorders, etc.

I'm not sure how many of our children have kinks in their bowels which

would pose a danger. While it is possible, how common is it?

Anyway, I think this could be a worthwhile for those whose children,

like mine, are suffering severe abdominal pain from time to time (from

constipation). When the diet does correct the constipation, then it

wouldn't be necessary anymore.
