Colonics: You're full of shit!
As I delve deeper and deeper into holistic ways to improve my being, time and time again I keep being confronted with colonics, colon cleansing, colon hydrotherapy; whatever your taste. Since what goes in, or whats packed in is just as important, if not more so, as how we maintain our external selves, I decided to do a little research on colonics.
There is, in fact, much to be said about colonics. The practice of cleasing one's colon has been around since the days of the Egyptians. The process itself seems rather simple, although I'm uncertain as to how comfortable this is. I've never had anything in my rectum.....well, maybe that thermometer when I was a baby, but that surely doesn't count now.
I can't really imagine laying there allowing someone to insert a speculum apparatus into my ass. Sorry, but I just don't know about that. So, you know me, I hit the internet and searched colonics in the Atlanta area. I've never had one so I had to at least try and get as much comparitive information as possible. I came upon a number of sites with a wealth of knowledge. I settled on Nile Wellness Center. The reviews on Citysearch were pretty impressive and consistent and the price was definitely right at just $55. While browsing their site for more info, I clicked on the testimonials and while the page loaded I started reading the very first one, shortly thereafter I was looking at the BEFORE and AFTER pictures of one of my friends. She looks amazing, always has, but definitely has a glow about her and is a few pounds lighter. I called my friend, b/c now I have a point of reference and someone who would shoot it to me straight. She and I talked for almost an hour and she just went on and on about how pleased she's been with the results of her colonics.
They recommend that you have 3 within 7-10 days, initially. My friend said she's had 9 of the recommend 12 so far. She goes once a month. Maybe this is the solution to this kangaroo pouch that I can't seem to get rid of. Is this old fecal matter? Mucoid? YUCK
I can only hope my girth will reduce with the colonic and that my sporadic acne clears up. In speaking with Dr. Imani he says that the skin is another way the body detoxifies itself. Well that would explain it. I've gone to dermatologist after dermatologist, had facials, micro derms, etc, etc and no real, lasting improvements. Yes, I have really high expectations of this colonic and possible series of colonics.
Have any of you had a colonic? What was your experience? Anyone interested? Well, I'm kinda nervous anxious about it. I will definitely blog about my experience, hopefully its a good one. I'm going in Friday morning, wish me luck!
Be and do well.....
