Hi everyone,
Yes it is colonic irrigation, the new term is hydrotherapy.
I'll try to explain this for you all. Although I take Potters Herbs twice a week, (ppyllisium husks) that I wasn't digesting my foods correctly, and, since I do a lot of research for clients, this was one of the therapies I researched.
Also a client of mine had it done in London, cost a fortune, and does not when you come out of London, and she was cured of Candida, not immediately, but, with an anti Candida diet for 6 months, she became a new woman.
DOES IT HURT?
No. It may feel a little strange at first, the sensation of having warm water pumped into your colon makes you feel like you want to go to the toilet, but, everything goes down the tube, which you don't see and there is no ordour either. The speculum that is inserted into the rectum is much smaller than a normal stool, and unles syou suffer from piles, you seriuosly don't feel a thing, except for a little push, and then it is in. The whole process is done very modestly, towels everywhere, covering you.
IS IT MESSY?
No, the waste is carried out ont he body enclosed within a tube. There is a clear part for the therapist to view the appearance of the stool and assess the condition of the colon.
BUT I GO TO THE TOILET EVERY MORNING
The colon is lined with pockets which become impacted and prevent the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals and toxins are reabsorbed into the body which can cause health problems.
IS IT SAFE?
Yes.The water is introduced at a low gravitational pressure, so there is absolutely no danger of bowel perforation. All equipment is disposable or disinfected using hospital approved disinfectant to kill all viruses, bacteria and fungi.
This practice was first recorded around 1500 BC. Colonics also help retonify and reshape the colon (which will sag if filled with toxic wastes).
Benefits are observed in the body in the form of clearer skin, greater mental clarity, and energy, fewer headaches and muscles aches and improvements of circulatory, immune and weight problems.
In fact it is the ultimate detoxer.
I felt very tired after my first treatment and my back ached and my stomach was the size of a 7 month pregnant woman. However, the next morning and much farting later, I arose feeling great, and continued to improve during the day. My stomach went flat for the first time in years.
I repeated this two weeks later, and, to my horror, suphurous gas of an appalling ordour came through the tube and my therapist lauged her socks off while I went bright red. She sprayed the room and it went away, and she said how PLEASED she was that this had come out. Apparantly this gas can also stay in the pockets of your colon for years.
During the first treatment some very old undigested meat, (she told me it was pork)[:'(][:'(][:'(]!!! came out, and the faeces were slimy, covered in gunge. The next treatment they were clear, apparantly, just the gas had to come out.
I shall repeat this after Xmas and again in late summer next year, to keep myself cleaner from now on.
I found my therapist chatty and full of knowledge and she helped me no end. I sent some of my clients to her who were equally impressed.
I can't tell you where to find someone because non of you live near me, but if you put in a search on the net perhaps? Or approach a local complementary clinic which is where I found mine? Or look in the phone book?
This is just about the most [:'(][:'(][:'(] subject I have evr written about on HP, but, it is very effective
Love
