Colon hydrotherapy, anyone?

Not sure if its an option for me due to financial issues, but my LLMD highly recommends it. He said ppl that do it are amazed at the results, I believe he mentioned it for parasite removal more specifically. I just wondered if any of you have tried and if so did it help?

hi, i have done it several times and i did find it very helpful, the first time being the most helpful. now, that being said, it is not the most pleasant of experiences.

it is not painful, it is just having someone else perform an enema on you. the therapists i have used gently fill you with tepid water and the pressure builds until you say you have had enough and they simply stop the flow and things come out naturally. then the process is repeated several times.

my colo-rectal doc was not a fan. i have had numerous colonscopies because i have a lot of c.diff issues but interestingly, the c.diff issues have been almost non existent since the colon cleanses so i think that speaks for itself. you have to go with your gut and decide what is best for you. to some folks, the thought of a colon cleanse is more than they can endure. i just found the pressure a bit uncomfortable.

I absolutely recommend colon hydrotherapy. My friend is a colon hydrotherapist which made it affordable for me... But I would still recommend investing in a series of two or three at least. It makes such a huge difference for me in my detoxing.

Look for a "closed system" and a "gravity system"... These are healthiest. Also, good colon hydrotherapist will do some subtle massage on your belly during the session which also helps.

A couple of my sessions were extremely uncomfortable and painful, but they were inevitably the ones that ended up being the most helpful, too.

Thanks everyone! Denise, I've been researching a little and a found someone locally that does one session for $65. That's not nearly as expensive as I'd expected! But, it's still a lot of money when finances are dwindling. I wonder if anyone in your area would let you do a payment plan?

I also like the idea of doing the enemas at home. More privacy, more affordable, etc. :)

I prefer professional colonics but when I can not get to them, i do the coffee enemas. I no longer end up in the hospital due to severe constipation.

A wonderful thing about colon hydrotherapy is that it just gets toxins out, without stirring up too many toxins in the body. It will un-constipate you temporarily, while also retraining your colon to release on it's own. Often towards the end of a session, when you are cleared out, you'll get a gall bladder release, too, which helps more deeply with your toxic load. Overall, though, it just takes toxic stuff that's already ready to be released and gets it out of you, so it's not particularly destabilizing.

So basically if you're feeling awful you can trust hydrotherapy to help you, without sending you into another herx.

Coffee enemas are amazing, too... And much cheaper! :) You have to be a little more careful with them, I think. They stimulate the liver to release toxins... So they make it possible for a much bigger detox to take place. However, because of the big release -- and if you aren't necessarily able to get all of the toxins out right away -- you may have more of a herx reaction from them.

I can tell if my body is releasing something toxic because I get chills and goose bumps and a wave of nausea... This happens a couple times per colon hydrotherapy session but almost continuously when I'm doing a coffee enema... Leading me to believe they are more aggressive.

I think both are awesome especially if you know which one works best for you in different situations.

Hi again, Lymer! :)

Highly recommend it. Colonics have been indispensable for me in the last few years. Even though my bowels move daily, there is stuff stuck and the colonics get it out. (sorry for poop talk). I can't feel it stuck in there, but after the colonic I feel soo much better! head fog goes away, etc.

I actually look forward to going :) hahaha...what a weird trip this is!

@Lymer,

Thanks for the compliment over the screename. It's an old song which recommends to put the Lyme in the coconut and drink it all up. Oh how I wish that was the cure for this soul depleting disease.

Please listen to Traveler and take hypothyroidism to heart. I know a woman who suffered two strokes before the age of 45. I am taking Thyroid (New Zealand BSE free Tissue Blend) from the website Supplement Clinic. I was taking Armour Thyroid which is also good but a bit pricey. I prefer bioidentical hormones. There is a good book to read called, "Stop the thyroid madness".

After doing a coffee enema, I take a liquid detox, green tea and I drink loads of water.

All I can say is that I feel that I have a fighting chance against this thing.

LOL!! Well then, it looks like we are posting about this all over this forum today!! Giggle!
