An author named Catherine Elwood published a unique method of enhancing 
colon health.  It is unconventional and briefly unpleasant, but is cheap and 
quick and effective.  It is this---insert a peeled, oiled garlic bud into an 
oiled anus.  Retain it.  If retention  is impossible, then prepare and insert 
another one right away.  Whenever this bud is expelled, simply repeat the 
procedure.  This can be done many days in a row.  Not rocket science here so 
just do what seems best to you.   Anyone contemplating doing this need never 
speak of it to anyone.  This will allow you to avoid becoming a laughingstock.  
Or you can shout it to the heavens and lie and say you have never done it, but 
have heard that it is very beneficial.  Either way, you may help someone else.  
And get that spine hardened up some.  :)   I don't know if this gives any 
probiotics, but it apparently kills off some conbiotics.   (That may be a new 
word, but it's easy to
 get the meaning.)  General health will improve.    A device called an Anal 
Heater is FDA approved for hemorrhoids and has a 97 or 98% CURE rate for that 
use if I recall correctly.  Also,  other problems distantly removed from the 
rectum frequently improve or vanish along with the hemorrhoids.  It has been 
some time since I read anything about this so check me out.  A reticence to 
discuss matters concerning this area of the body is understandable.  It is 
indelicate, but so many will benefit from more forthrightness.  Maybe.   Hope 
so.   pj
