$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hough, what if it is broke? I am sure we were doing fine until a hundred years or so ago, but evolution is to slow for the onslaught we are currently assaulting our bodies with. I have never done anything like this before, but I know my body is in bad shape and I have felt for a long time I needed to clean it out.

I guess if you want to start a movement, your bowels are a great place to start!

Personally, I consider the entire colonics thing to be almost entirely bogus. Granted, we need a high fiber, low fat, low meat diet, but the average person doesn't carry around a bunch of digested or rotten matter in his gut, unless he/she has some kind of life threatening obstipation. Believe me, if you have this, the first thing to go is your appetite. My dog had prostate cancer that blocked his colon for a very short time, just before we put him to sleep. He had quit eating for several days while the pressure built.

Colonics is a neurotic European fixation on the gut, that takes the zeal for antiseptic environments, expressed in overly fastidious, clean houses, and directs the same energy to the body. Very Freudian.

I'm not saying that a colon cleanse is a magic potion that is all you need to be healthy. I'm just saying that it's an effective way to get some very bad things out of your body, and it can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

Now, why do people shove coffee up their butts?

If you take less than 2 bowel movements a day, you are probably in need of a candida, parasite, and colon cleanse, in my opinion. I've heard it sometimes relieves problems that you wouldn't think would be linked to your colon, like headaches, back pain, fatigue, and arthritis.

Ok, I just looked at the pics on that site. I don't feel so good anymore. What the hell are they shitting out!?

[dogf]

I have had the runs for about 20 years now. I go about 7-10 times a day and always soft at best. Around the same time I was not able to keep down vegetables and fruits. Love the taste of them, but they just don't stay down. So I really am a meat and potatoes type. And at 43 I do look like a pear. I think it's time I looked into this further. New years resolution and all.

Mgibbons, it's a fungus. It slows down the passage of feces through your body. It also creates pockets for those wonderful worms to nest in. It's not like a blockage due to cancer, because candida does not grow as relentlessly as cancer. It generally grows slower, so your body is able to adapt so much as to prevent total blockage.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smiley', 'B')esides, the colon is the result of millions of years of evolution. Nature would have added a flush-function if that would have been necessary.

[Carlhole]

None of this is believable.

Where can you read anything scientific about colonics or liver-cleansing? For something this easily testable and matter-of-fact, one should not have to rely on anecdotal evidence.

Why don't colonoscopies reveal impaction of old fecal matter and what-not? Why don't stool samples reveal parasites and flora, etc.

Colon-cleansing products are just a scam to sell a bunch of horseshit herbs to people. Look, they are priced all over the map with the more expensive treatments having the greatest sales piece attached.

If there were actually something to this, there is absolutely no reason why Western medicine would not include colon-cleansing in its treatment repetoire.

That argument that people always line up on eiter side of any argument is BS. Something as easily verified as colon cleansing is either has merit or does not. It has nothing to do with opinion.

Blistered,

I have been mentally preparing for a change. I accept the New Years thing is a loser position, but it is also real. Plans over the next week says I can't start full blown now.
But I agree with most of what you have said and I will follow through to the point I may agree with all over the next few weeks.

I did spend a few years drinking Metamucil and it was working. Then just forgot one day and....
Now I am taking their pill once a day. I agree I should and will go back to using the powder in larger amounts.
As for the food intake I also agree I have to make a change. I am ready to make this change as soon as logistically possible. I quit smoking 3 months ago after my 6 year old asked if I wanted to see her grow up. 1/2 a pack for 25 years and not a craving since. So I am ready. Ordered "Thesecret.tv" Really in the process of making changes.
As for the bike, for now I will just walk on the treadmill. Lungs won't allow a jog.
Other problem is an addiction to THC. Every evening food intake in gross. Tonight actually will be my 1st evening without.
Too many signs I need to change. 40 lbs in the last 3 months and haven't slept in about 8 days. In other words I accept I have to make some serious habit changes.
I am ready. And thx

With friends like you dudes, who needs enemas?

Ah carhole our resident medical sheep. Just because popular medicine doesn't promote something doesn't mean its not good for you.
