Re: pain, no fats, and colonics

[Guest guest]

Hi Dawn,

I've posted about my doing colonics before, but don't know if I've related the

actual experience or not. It has been a very positive experience for me,

although I no longer have my GB. The practitioner who does my colonics has said

I most likely have a spastic bowel (one with kinks, or abnormal twists and

turns), which explains why I experienced quite a bit of cramping and broke out

in cold sweats during the first several colonics. The last one I did, #7 last

week, was a breaze in the sense that there was very little cramping. My

practitioner told me that the liver cleanse is much more successful if your

bowel is clean. It has to do with the toxins your liver releases during the

cleanse. If you're clogged up, so to speak, the toxins will just be recycled in

your body.

For those who don't care to read more graphic details, just stop reading now.

It is important to go to a very experienced practitioner, one who is gentle, but

knows when to massage deeply, and one who is patient...it should take at least

an hour for your first session.

You usually prepare by undressing from the waist down, and then lying on your

side covered by a sheet. The practitioner inserts a tube(s) ( one for the water

to go in, and one for the waste to come out) and you roll over to your back. He

then slowly allows water to fill the tube up to the outside of your body, then

he says, " Are you ready, " and the water slowly enters your bowel; it's usually

warm in temperature. As soon as you experience a feeling of being too full, you

tell him, and he stops the water flow. During the time the waste is coming out,

he massages the bowel, and occasionally massages pressure points on the upper

thighs. The first time, I was not able to hold much water without experiencing

quite a bit of cramping...this, after doing a lot of herbal bowel cleansing and

8 liver cleanses. My husband, on the other hand, who's had no bowel problems,

felt very little cramping...but, everyone is different. Each successive colonic

I've done, there was improvement. The most marked difference I felt though was

the last one I did. The first 6 I did 1 week apart, and then waited 2 weeks

between 6 and 7. I'm going back for #8 after another 2 week interval. He said

I should be able to wait 1 month after that.

Hope I've been helpful.

Thanks Adrienne. What is the approx cost per session if you don't

mine my asking? I don't think there is anyone in my area that does

these, but I'll call the health food store and see if they know. Dawn
