Colonic irrigation. Anyone?

[Eliza.D]

I just wondered if anyone has had or thought about having colonic irrigation.

I understand that it can have benefits and i have considered it but to tell he truth it also sounds scary and very unpleasant.

When i have discussed it with people the majority have said that they too have thought about it and would like to have it done but the idea of litres of water being spurted up your...., (well you know what i mean)is not very nice.

If i thought it had benefits then i might overcome my reservations.

Anyone feel the same or have had it done. Does it have real benefits?

Am i alone in my curiosity.

[Mick Mac]

Yep - I had it done in the back garden last year, much improved draingage and I believe Dulwich Golf Club had it done a few years ago too, definatley recommended, helps fertility.

Unfortunately not. That's why YouTube exists.

Just mind how you go, and don't feel free to keep us posted.

[Eliza.D]

Thanks for that Burbage.

Don't worry wouldn't give an account.

Oh Eliza.D dear,

I have been toying with the idea for years, but essentially, what holds me back (despite the animated promises from practitioners of results including clear skin and sparkling eyes) is that this area of the body is an exit and not an entrance (shakes head sympathetically). No, really. It is just not very Dulwich.

It is not for everyone sweetie. God only knows what kind of damage could be done by an inadequately trained, over zealous practitioner. I should imagine it would cause they eyes to water and not sparkle at all...

You could find yourself on the slippery slope towards reiki healing and aromatherapy, and before you know it, you would be keeping crystals in your pocket and talking rubbish about "auras".

Now, lets change the subject sweetie. Can I offer anyone a drink?

And no, I don't have any green tea.

[Eliza.D]

Thanks for that dulwichmum.

just the thought of all that congested gunk being eliminated sounds quite good though. Don't worry and not a slippery slope sort of girl/women

[Mick Mac]

Eliza - the inside of the body is not intended to be "clean". That's biology, It soumds like a disgusting practice to me to be honest.

Probably help clear out some of the undigested red meat, and give your Dr a better view next time you have a camera up your arse when checking for cancer, which incidentally is a good thing to do when you are getting close to 40.

There was a thread around last year http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9,95652,125976#msg-125976

Can?t imagine why there would be a need for this in an area with as many Indian restaurants as ED has.

[Jeremy]

Brendan - my thoughts exactly. A good vindaloo will sort you out in no time.

[Xena Worried prince]

I think I had it last night after 5 pints down the Rye and no food for 20 hours.

Either that or I am melting from the inside out.

Seriously though, not had it myself, not sure I want to have it as it still carries the stigmata of being something 'fellows who swing the other way' get done and I am not sure the benefits out way the embarrassment of having it performed.

[Ladygooner]

I have had it done and it was fine and I highly recommend it. Will PM you Eliza with the details as I'm sure not everyone on the EDF needs to know the ins and outs of my colon!

[woofmarkthedog]

I do quite fancy a tube up my arse & couple of gallons of fluid pumped up there........

Really i do

W**F

Did you get 'tubed' locally? I'm coeliac and had cameras inserted in various orifices more times that I care to remember, but never a colonic. If I could do the whole procedure done near Lordship Lane, I'd be there in a pulse beat!

[bigbadwolf]

If you want a good 'Mud out' Eliza I suggest you get down the curry house and have Vindaloo followed by at least 12 pints of ale. After the following 'event' the next morning I advise you consult a G.P over the issue of 'tearing injuries' you may or may not have sustained. Just a thought.

[monica]

Eliza drink water and vegetable juices, homemade is better they will help, your body naturally detoxifies itself anyway, but vegetable juices will help. Good luck

[bigbadwolf]

But don't forget Curry colonic either eh Eliza.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

I had this done a few years ago, one of those mad moments " I wonder what that is like " did it in holborn area all very nice and relaxed, the pipe is approx 5mm wide and goes in 3cm ( too much info but nice to know beforehand ) so they pump water in and you just relax and then it just kinda comes out. You do feel very full and want to push it out, do not do this it can get very messy. So after 15 mins of flushing around the nice lady comes in and lets you know what you have been eating and how you should chew ye food a bit more. 15 mins later on the scooter and feeling a bit flush. No side effects and felt somehow lighter? would not repeat as not sure why I did it in the first place.

Colonic Irrigation tick

Thats funny...my daily breakneck death-ride on the 12/176 usually has the same effect, depending on the driver.

They are in Nunhead - not too far away. I have had a colonic there and it helped sort out my digestive problems.

Yes, it is true that our bodies cleanse themselves all the time, but a little help can speed things up and move things along better ... yes, yes I read the bit about the curry but I think this is a kinder method ... it saved me from having to see my GP

[alethea]

Well I've had a couple and it was great, people get too obsessed with the process and having a pretty small tube up your bum sorry if TMI, but today's diet contains a lot of stuff that doesn't really digest properly that a good clean out is cleansing. My skin was amazing afterwards, eyes really bright and I felt quite energised, I have had friends though who have felt quite emotional so I guess everyone if different. It's like a fresh start if you have been not looking after yourself too well.

I would recommend going to a proper health place not just a beauty place.

Let's face it if it's an embarassment factor, if you are a women who has a bikini wax, it's on a par with that for letting your inhibitions go but less painful.

[Eliza.D]

Thank uou for all your advice and suggestions. Constructive and not so constructive ( you know who you are).

Thanks again.

Keep you posted.

[bigbadwolf]

Oh fair enough Eliza I'll tell the truth. It's not a curry you're really after but half a pound of under cooked Lidl corn beef. Although in this scenario 'tearing injuries' will be the least of your worries concerning the impending land slide at dawn.

I'm sure I could make an Arse-Nil joke out of this given sufficient time/imagination.
