Colonics: Part Deux
This morning was my appointment for my colon hydrotherapy (this is the new fancy name for colonic). I'd mapped the place out already but with morning rush hour traffic and the fact that I would be passing through downtown Atlanta (traffic oasis) I decided to leave home an hour early. Surprisingly, I got from my house to Nile Wellness Center in just under 30 mins.
I was kinda full of water b/c I drank almost 70 oz from the time I got up this morning until I parked in front of the bldg. They tell you to drink 64 oz the night before. Well, after drinking almost 100 oz and sweating it out at the gym I thought it might be best to have too much than not enough. I digress...
Shortly after I'd settled into the book I checked out from the library, " Half-Assed: A weightloss memoir" by Janette something (the book is in the trunk of my car) Dr. Imani pulled up. It's 7:35am. He gave me a friendly smile, spoke, unlocked this office and walked in but left the door cracked. I didn't want to just walk in since I was so early and I knew there were preparatory things he needed to do. Around quarter til, he walked up to my car and asked if I was Felecia and invited me to come in so that we could get started.
Dr. Amani is a very patient and well-spoken man. I had a thousand questions for him and he answered a thousand twenty-two. He gave me so much information in about 15 mins, that I'll have to post separately about those. Back to the point of order: the colonic. He takes me into this room that is lit with candles and has some nice music playing. I feel like I'm about to be romanced
. There this machine, called the Colonez (I think thats what I saw). He sits down on and it shows me how I need to mount this thing, give me lubricant, a latex glove, and that thin, thin, piece of tissue paper like you get at the doctor's office for the pap to cover from the waist down. I knew this was going to take me a while.
WARNING: TOO MUCH INFO ABOUT TO BE SHARED, CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!
He gives me instruction and tells me to ring the bell when I'm ready and he leaves the room. I have never, never, eva had anything inserted into my anus/rectum. No, not even the doctor has so much as placed a finger in that zone b/c I clinch up like your face would if you bit into a lemon. I knew would I had to do so I talked myself through it. About 6 mins later I was on the machine ready to go. I ring the bell.
Dr. Amani comes back in all smiles and starts talking as he starts turning things on on this huge contraption. As he's talking I can't really hear him b/c one I feel really weird laying on this thing with something stuck up my ass, and worse now my colon is being filled with water (as he's talking) and I have this urgent need to push. So out comes the first batch of waste, toxins, God only knows what and he's acting as if birds are chirping. I'm feeling a little embarrassed but he assures me that everything is happening as it should. He talks some more, all I can here is what's coming out of my rear end. He leaves the room and comes back with a warm compress to put on my stomach. I lay there telling myself to relax the butt muscles and just let it flow and I do and it did.
They recommend that you have a total of 3 within 7-10 days. I've scheduled my remaining 2 for Tues. (7/15, my Brother's b'day...ha!) and Thurs. (7/17). I feel really good about this. I left feeling clean, internally. Lighter. So today I'm eating light and drinking mostly fresh, natural juices from Arden's Garden. After I left Nile, I stopped at this whole food co-op, Sevananda to pick up vegan probiotics and some digestive enzymes which he recommend to help further assist in detoxifying my body and replacing some of the healthy stuff that may be washed out with the bad. Now, I'm at work blogging about my morning. I had a jerk tempeh sandwich, which was really, really quite delicious.
For the rest of the day, I'm drinking water and juices until dinner. I feel great, really I do. I can't explain it really. Plus I know it's only going to get better. If you're interested, please check into it. The average person is carrying 10-50lbs of waste and toxins in their body and colon. Don't let that me you any longer.
Be and do well...
Felecia
(no longer feeling shity!

Congrats! I've been gone too long. Glad to know things are moving right along.
