Ruth, If you are serious about a full colon cleanse you can by a colonic board. I would chek the Internet for prices. It is not a complicated procedure and can be done in the privacy of your own home, at your leisure and when time permits. For example.
http://www.homecolonics.com/ The materials should not run more than $250. What is involved is running a 5 gallons of distilled water through the entire intestinal tract. While doing the procedure you would also fast, ingesting nothing but Psylium seed mixed with Bentonite and apple juice 2- 3x a day for seven days. Additionally, supplements would be taken during this time to replenish the bowel. No, you will not get hungry because of fasting. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars for this treatment. 7 treatments x 250 (avg) $1,750. However, whether you choose do the cleanse this at home or pay someone to do the procedure (not appealing to me) I guarantee you will be shocked by what follows and you will also note a distinct change in your energy levels and sense of well being. No the gunky stuff does not come from something in the medication, its what has been accumulated. Colonoscopies do not probe the entire digestive and elimination system. The above recipe does not use "medication"...none is necessary. CS could be added to the DW water as well. ruth strackbein <ruthstrackb...@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi Linda, I have the same questions you do about colonics. My chiropractor is recommending a colon cleanse that involves a trip to a town some 40-50 miles away. The people there would run water through my large and small intestines continuously for a certain amt. of time. The water could be mixed with a variety of medications. This treatment costs from 2-3 hundred dollars a round. Now of course, at present, I suppose I may be carrying around quite a lot of gunk in there, 78 years worth. I have had 3 colonoscopies in the last ten or so years and the doctor each time declared my lower colon "whistle clean" . One of my sons and his wife visited me recently and said they were doing colon cleanses with some preparations they bought for $70 each. And they told me that initially they did pass dark gunky stuff. My wonderment is if the gunky stuff could have come from something in the medication. I will wait for further notes as to their health after completing the treatment. There are enough anatomical problems with my colon to make me wonder about the wisdom of pursuing either of the preceding courses of action..
