Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Hi Adrienne, I think what happens is that the bile gets reabsorbed through the small intestine. So, I guess, if the colon is not backed up, there is a better chance of the stuff coming out of the liver to get out before being reabsorbed into the bloodstream and then sent back to the liver again. ----- Original Message ----- From: " Adrienne McLaughlin " <adriennelynn1@...> <gallstones > Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2002 7:35 PM Subject: colonics > > Hi all, > > I just had my first colonic last week, and thought I'd share a few thoughts. After doing as much research about what the benefits/risks involved are, and researching the best person to go to, I decided to give it a try. It was definitely not what I expected. After doing so much bowel cleansing and liver cleansing, I kind of expected it to be a breaze. I experienced several episodes of breaking out in a cold sweat, and dizziness. I'm guessing this was an autonomic nervous system response, not necessarily indicative of anything wrong, but it was not pleasant. The " results " were good, and I'm scheduled for a couple more. > > The practitioner performing the colonic basically said that the liver cleansing would not be as effective without doing a colonic first. I'd not heard that before, and am wondering if anyone has any light to shed on the subject. He said the herbal bowel cleansings I've done were not sufficient to clean the bowel, and the toxins released during the liver cleanse basically would get recycled in the body if the bowel is not " clean. " > > Sometimes it's hard to determine fact from fiction when researching the benefits of alternative health methods. The medical community turns their nose up at the mention of colonics, and I did read a report by a watchdog group that said colonics have no benefit whatsoever. But, when you look at the pictures of diseased bowels, and realize that most Americans, with their processed diets, have bowel problems, and high rates of colon cancer, well.....let's just say that I don't trust the medical ideas of health care. > > Adrienne > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Although I've done the Fat Flush program (which also cleans out the bowel) and a parasite cleanse, something is telling me to think about a colonic. I know nothing about them. Can anyone point me to a website for info.? I'd like to learn a little before a consultation. Are they uncomfortable, do you need to have several, can you find out how " dirty " your colon is before you proceed, are there risks, etc.? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 In taking a colonic, you are comfortable,lying down, the position depends on the machine, some you lay on the side, some on the back. Some put the water in and take the water and feces out, another one, you lay on your back and the tip is in the anus about 3 inches,and the water goes at gravational speed, and you push the water and feces out down a drain. I personally perfer this one. It just depends on what kind the person has. A Colonic is the best thing you can do for yourself. I have a machine and I will tell you now that it helped a great deal in saving my life. I was bad sick and I needed it bad. It is highly recommended. You can do so much better than you can with an enema bag. I know it is scary at first, but it is not bad. The main thing is to relax and let your body work with you and the person helping you. Good Luck. > Although I've done the Fat Flush program (which also cleans out the > bowel) and a parasite cleanse, something is telling me to think about > a colonic. I know nothing about them.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Thanks for the reply. I did some searching and was finding info. about how good they are till I read an article by the NCAHF--National Council Against Health Fraud. It said they are completely useless, lots of risk, etc. Now I'm totally confused. Of course, they also poo-poo chirpractors too and I couldn't live without mine! I'll have to do more reading and searching.
