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.. Ruth

I'm trying to resolve a conflict in my mind, and it occurs to me that the
excellent minds in this
group might have the answers....
When we talk about colon cleanses, I keep hearing or reading about all the
gunk that is impacted
into the colon, causing all kinds of health problems. There's even a guy
on late-night TV around
here selling "The Almighty Cleanse" who shows pictures of what this stuff
impacting the colon
looks like, and he claims that John Wayne's autopsy showed he had 40 pounds
of gunk in his colon.
Okay, the logic problem I have here is, I had a colonoscopy done last year,
and I was awake and
watching the monitor with the doctor. I had, of course, done the epsom
salt thing the night
before to clean things out. I didn't see any gunk stuck to the lining of
my colon.
Is it really possible that I have this rubber tire stuff further up my in
my intestinal system,
and that none of it is in the lower part that can be viewed by colonoscopy?
I'm working with a Naturopath right now, and she has recommended that I
take a product called
OxyCleanse for a while. I'm happy to do that. It just defies logic to me
that the bottom of my
colon can be cleaned out so quickly with just that drink the doctor had me
take the night before
the colonoscopy, but the stuff further upstream hasn't been moved by the
same stuff.....
BTW, I have pretty regular bowel movements, once or twice a day. They are
light brown in color,
do not float, are not hard to expel, and seem to have decent "girth."
The reason I'm working with the Naturopath is to get rid of about 80 pounds
of extra weight and
get my blood pressure down with natural means. I've tried adding Magnesium
and Calcium, but I
have been unsuccessful on my own, so I thought I'd enlist the aid of a
pro....
Thanks for any input anybody would care to share....and I'm happy to move
to OT if this becomes a
big discussion.
Linda
