    Default Had a colonic today - LONG!

    This is MY PERSONAL experience. Everyone has different experiences so dont take everything to heart. Everything listed is what my girl said to do. YOUR person may give you other directions, etc... Cecilia is at Blissful Health in Waipahu, HI. She is a healer, very strict vegan and into holistic healing. I loved her but everyone has different tastes in things so check out people who do colonics in your area and make sure you are comfortable with them!

    So, after all the chit chat Ive been hearing about colonics I decided to go get one done. I found a great place here with a great machine. There are different types of machines... some are very impersonal and embarassing and the lady that does the colonics said she hated it and waited 10 years before getting another because of the machine. She has a great machine... its kinda like a toilet you lay down on. There is a tube about 3 feet long by 3 inches wide that is clear that you can see what is comming out of you.

    Before you get one go check out the place and have them show you the machine. This one is a light blue one and very nice.

    First she recommends getting a colonic once a week for 12 weeks (depending on your body, etc)

    For the first 3 nights before the colonic I was told to take a piece of wool soaked in CASTOR OIL and place it on my abdomen, cover with a sheet of plastic and then top with a hot water bottle on it OR a heating pad on low. Leave it on for 30 minutes then remove the heat and massage for 20 minutes. Return the heat and leave on for another 30 minutes.

    Castor Oil penetrates the skin and is good for all kinda of things (do a search on google for old remedies!) It helps lubricate the intestine to get things going.

    After this you take one teaspoon of Olive Oil (super gross)

    The 3 days before the colonic I wasnt to eat any beef or pork because its hard to digest... chicken and fish are ok. Also not to eat any gassy foods (explained later)

    The morning of the colonic I drank 2 bottles of water (about 30 ounces) and went in. Cecilia greeted me and took me into the room.

    The tube that goes in you is smaller than your pinky in width... about the size of an at home enema... she told me to undress from the waist down and bring my shirt up to just under the breasts. Lay down on the "table/bed/toilet thingy) and insert the tube with lots of lube. Then cover with a sheet. She then put on some mellow music and turned the lights on low. If I look to my left by the floor is the clear tube where everything comes out.

    She then turns on the water. At first it felt that I had to go pee really bad... then it turned into a feeling of (this is gross) really bad food poisoning with diarrhea... it HURTS. as the water goes into you through the tube when you push out the water --- when you push the tube kinda goes to the side and everything comes out into the bed/toilet under you.

    During this process she massaged my stomach and would hit tender spots. She would expain what was comming out. Mine was 90% water with bubbles in it. I thought it would be a bunch of poo and was very surprised. She told me what not to eat to avoid the bubbles and said this was the cause of all my bloating and constipation. The bubbles are a gas and they dont just "pop" when your digested food come into contact with them... they make it harder for your food to get through your colon.

    It lasted about 45 minutes... I would "fill up" and the pain would be so bad at times I was tearing up then it would release and it felt great.

    After I was done my little tummy was GONE. She said it would take about 5 appointments before I started getting the little crevices of my intesting clean. My mom, who went the day before did much better than me... she would only need about 3 but 12 colonics will really cleanse you. My mom also said hers was only about 40% gas the rest digested food (she eats a LOT BETTER than I do) but I eat organic and free range now that I live with her....along with all kinda of other stuff!

    After the appointment I took a teaspoon of acodiphilis culture which is a liquid you can buy at the local natural food store.. it is natural bacteria and tastes like melted yogurt with no sugar... nasty.

    I was also told that my constipation may be caused by low enzymes and that I should drink a glass of fresh pineapple juice every morning... (easy when living in HI, may get expensive for someone who lives in NY or so... dunno)

    She also recommends a diet of all certified organic (key word being CERTIFIED) and free range beef, pork, chicken. She actually doesnt recommend eating pork or beef but if you DO eat it to make sure its free range.

    Anywho - that was my experience.. have 2 more this comming and next Thursdays...

    Any questions lemme know!

    Careful with those. People have ruptured their intestines. Also, i find it redundant b/c the gastrointestinal lining sheds itself every three days, making it impossible for stuff to build up unless you're impacted.

    Ive done a lot of reading up on this... theyve been doing them for hundreds of years... it used to be used as a healer... religious reasons.

    I think it was great and have 2 more comming up... I guess if you turned on a faucet full blast it could rupture you... which is why people need to do research on the person doing the procedure. There are risks in EVERYTHING and im so sick of doctors, bull sh*t "diseases" and commercials for heartburn that im taking a holistic route now.

    Just some interesting stuff I learned... heartburn which is now called "acid reflux disease".... ok... once something is listed as a "disease" it can ONLY BE TREATED BY MEDICATION. I, or anyone else for that matter, cannot go on TV and say if you drink a 3-4 tablespoons of Raw Organic Apple CiderVinegar with Mother (an enzyme) it will get rid of it I would go to jail because once something is listed as a "disease" it can ONLY be treated by medication. Freedom of speech my ass. Odd huh, makes you wonder what else that is called a "disease" can he healed by natural methods... no one can go on TV and tell you about them because theyll go to jain. Heartburn is actually a LACK OF ACID. When you take a OTC Med it coats the stomach and gets rid of ALL THE ACIDS which makes your body MAKE MORE because now it has NONE... get it? So, since vinegar is acidic taking a teaspoon will get rid of "acid reflux disease" i.e. Heartburn...

    Point being - I just dont think all these chemicals can be good for your body... people werent getting all these diseases before all these chemicals were made... there is even a natural cure for herpes AND cancer (early stages)....

    If youre interested in these types of things I really recommend the book "Natural Cures they dont want you to know about" its by Kevin Trudeau.... its GREAT.. he rants a little bit because hes just pissed off about things.. youll see when you read it... point being.. he does not sell anything - he doesnt have a website selling you some "cure" for stuff. His website will send you to other sites with remedies and recommend other books and such.

    Anywho - whatever you choose to do is your business.... theres always the good and bad in ANYTHING YOU DO. Should I drink 3-4 tablespoons of vinegar or take a daily chemical pill to get rid of heartburn? Gee... dumb question huh? Should I get a colonic to rid toxins in my body? Is it worth the risk of my abdomen imploding? For me, yes...

    Another good Book - Fast Food Nation - not what I thought it would be and I havent eaten a bite of fast food since I read it.. along with Kevins book... Ive seriously started making my body a top priority... what sucks here is that theres no certified organic foods here... were having to have them mailed over from Oregon... but its worth it...

    EDITED TO ADD: Sorry bout my little rant... another thing Ive learned in my research of stuff is that a lot of naturalistic and holistic healers think that the high instances of breast cancer in women (1 in 7 will get it in their lifetime) is caused by the chemicals in deoderant getting in your lymphnodes.. ok... done ranting...

    Tell it, sista! Esp. with the deodorant, a lot of people think it's crap, but the aluminun from deodorant really does get into your body through smalls tears in the skin after you shave. So if you have to wear deo (which we all do, pretty much), apply it as far from shaving your pits as possible.

    As for the clonics, I don't know if I'd ever do that...at this point, I like to think that my body is pretty self-cleansing- that as long as I put good stuff in, it'll take care of itself, more or less. I'm scared of the food-poisoning feeling- blech! But I'm very glad you're finding it rewarding.

    This is NOT true. There are a lot of ways that you get food trapped into the folds of your colon. If you are not drinking enough water, food wastes become harder to pass which causes constipation. Constipation, in and of itself, is literally a pain in the ass. However, as your body continues to try to move the stuff, your intestines will begin to get stretched out...which will cause more problems in the future. Of course, this is a big problem for people who are chronically constipated...

    The other thing I learned while doing research, et al. MOST of the average food of the average American is filled with, not just tons of fats, but other types of chemicals used to preserve the food, or the hormones to keep the cows producing lots of milk without impregnating them, or the steroids given to animals to make them bigger. The bad thing about is that those chemicals cause ulcers, intestinal sores, etc, etc, etc. One bad, bad thing about intestinal sores is that it is a "hole" in the lining of the intestine. This causes food to become trapped into those little pockets and thus is the start of your intestinal problems.

    While it is VERY important for people to thoroughly research everything before committing to doing anything (like colonics), it's a step in the right direction. Like Audrey mentioned a diet filled with CERTIFIED organic foods is the best way to prevent a lot of these ailments.

    *NOTE: I would never recommend that ANYONE eat pork. Pork contains trichinosis (well, any meat CAN, but Pork has the most incidences). If you do not fully cook it, you can get Trichinosis...which is a nasty parasite that burrows into your muscles...ick.

    I once actually asked my doctor about colonics (because I had read something about simple enemas causing harm) - she said that she didn't see it would be particularly necessary or beneficial (she also believed that the problem was better looked after from the inside out, largely by eating enough fibre) but that she had never heard of anyone actually being hurt by one. (i.e harmless placebo). I would be interested in the number of times some has been ruptured by this.

    First off, thanks for sharing, I've been intrested in the idea of getting one, but didn't really know much about it. I was wondering how much this all cost for you?

    A cheap and easy deodorant subsitutue: Mix Baking soda and cors starch 50/50. I apply with a powder puff, and then use a stiff clothing brush to knock excess off my clothes.

    You can also get a nautural doeodrant (like Toms of Maine) at many drugstores and vitamin sotres.

    As a last resort, Adiddas makes a deodorant with absorbat cotton fibres.

    The lady I go to charges $75 each or a set of 3 for $210 or a set of 6 for $390. I got the set of 3 and Ill go from there...

    Jenny - you need to read the book I recommended by Kevin Trudeau - he was in the conspiracy of the FDA and FTC... along with the government to hide all natural cures.. heres a quote from the FDA - this is a LAW that the FDA made up - it did NOT have to pass congress...

    "Only a DRUG can treat, cure or prevent a disease" Funny huh? (this is all from the book) So, if I was to say eating an orange will cure scurvy I could go to jail for selling a DRUG without a liscense... even tho we all know an orange is not a drug. A natural remedy cannot be patented therefor its not a drug therefor it CANNOT TREAT, CURE, or PREVENT A DISEASE.... it is a VERY GOOD book... doctors are taught the only ways to TREAT, CURE or PREVENT a disease is to take DRUGS or CUT IT OUT... so of COURSE your doctor will say no to colonics...

    A recommend that EVERYONE get a copy of this book - Kevin was involved in this indusrty and all the corruption... he got screwed and sent to jail and was so pissed off that he wrote this book to expose the corruption... along with the fact that when he was 21 he was diagnosed with a DISEASE that the doctors said was uncurable and he went to a holistic healer was given a remedy and it healed on its own. He then went back to the doctors to get re-tested and when it was gone he told them what happened.. they told him that they must have diagnosed him WRONG... ANYTHING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NATURAL CURES FOR ALMOST ANY AILMENT...

    Anywho - you can tell when reading the book that hes "mad as hell" because he says just that... about the healthcare industry.

    Hope you get the gist of what Im saying... I believe nothing a doctor says to me. Oh - another thing - even my own UNCLE who is a doctor calls himself a "legal drug pusher" this is his JOB - he gets money, trips and all kinds of incentives from drug companies to prescribe their drugs. All drugs have side effects which will cause more problems that youll need MORE drugs for... its a money making machine and Im done with it...

    That's why I'm going into natural medicine nstead of western. Everyone's pushing me to go western, but I'm SO not interested in becoming part of that machine. I like the natural approach, which is basically "restore balance to your body so it can take care of itself". I respect specialists a bit more, but clinic doctors can kiss my ass.

    I will look into that book, Audrey. I get periodic mailings from a compnay that distributes it (he has a newsletter too, right?), and have been ignoring it because I thought it was a scam.

    Also, Kevin Trudeau shows up in the Alt.and Holistic Health indexes if you have journal access-

    Yes he has a newsletter - definately not a scam - seriously go to a bookstore - read the first few pages and youll end up buying it - its very interesting... id say go into Natural Med - theres not enough people out there going to natural route - people always go Western for the money but I seriously think a lot of people are going to start going natural with the high prices and all the politics behind it - good luck!

    I use Lavilin for my armpits I don't know if you have it in the states but I find it here in the health stores. It's just a paste that you put under your arm (or anywhere you want) and it will make you not stink for like 2-4 weeks than you reapply. For me it works great ! It is all natural and most important alluminum free.

    What an experience you had there. The hurting seems like what go through some days where I dont even want to move. At least it goes away at the end of your treatment. Im afraid of pooping forever after the colonic. I still havent gotten one...my bum might get really angry with me after.

    Crystal- wow that is some good stuff to last 2-4 weeks. I might try alluminim free deo too now.

    All this talk of freaky preserved food sounds scary. Ive been slowly making the move to ALL food being hunted or harvested.

    Ya know I had the colonic 2 days ago and just went potty for the first time a couple hours ago. You definately wont be crapping all day... lol... it took my mom a couple days to go too because youre all cleaned out in your lower intestine and the food needs time to travel down i guess...I definately need it done a few more times to get regular like I should be. I usually only go a couple times a WEEK which is really bad for you... you should go 2-3 times a DAY - I dont think ive done that since i was a newborn...

    Wow, that is so cool Audrey!!!

    I have been considering it for a while anyway.

    Could you please do me a small favor? The next time you go, please ask the lady that oversees it if having cronic diahreah is a problem? And would I still be able to have it done because of this problem.

    I had my gall bladder removed 8 yrs ago, and ever since then I've had problems with diahreah.

    Thanks for posting, sounds cool.

    Does it make your tummy flatter? Im like 115 lbs,but always seem to have a tiny pouch. I dont drink or eat badly neither,Im wondering if a colonic would get rid of it. Side note..can you request that your colonic person be a woman? Hate for it to be a man.
