A Healthy Colon

From my point of view the most amazing part of this whole experience was that the chiropractor did not recommend any dietary changes whatsoever.  His patients were achieving great success from colonics alone.  I had thought dietary changes would be necessary to avoid having the same dismal bowel condition return.  I still think colonics are far more effective if people are on a cleansing diet too.  However, I was delighted to see the potential for helping people through colonics.

For me, the most interesting part of this colonic school was that I personally was required to have my own barium enema and X-ray.  I was privately certain that mine would look normal, because after all, I had been on a raw food diet for six years, and done considerable amount of fasting, all of which was reputed to repair a civilized colon.  Much to my surprise my colon looked just as mangled and dysfunctional as everyone else’s’, only somewhat worse because it had a loop in the descending colon similar to a cursive letter “e” which doctors call a volvulus.  Surgeons like to cut volvululii out because they frequently cause bowel obstructions.  It seemed quite unfair.  All those other people with lousy looking colons had been eating the average American diet their whole life, but I had been so ‘pure!’

On further reflection I remembered that I had a tendency toward constipation all through my childhood and young adulthood, and that during my two pregnancies the pressure of the fetus on an already constipated bowel had made it worse resulting in the distorted structure seen in the X-ray.  This experience made it very clear that fasting, cleansing diets, and corrected diet would not reverse damage already done.  Proper diet and fasting would however, prevent the condition of the colon from getting any worse than it already was.

I then realized that I had just purchased the very tool I needed to correct my own colon, and I was eager to get home to get started on it.  I had previously thought that I was just going to use this machine for my patients, because they had been asking for this kind of an adjunct to my services for some time.  I ended up giving myself over a hundred colonics at the rate of three a week over many months.  I then out of curiosity had another barium enema and X-ray to validate my results.  Sure enough the picture showed a colon that looked far more ‘normal’ with no vulvulus.  That little “e” had disappeared.

What Is Constipation?

Most people think they are not constipated because they have a bowel movement almost every day, accomplished without straining.  I have even had clients tell me that they have a bowel movement once a week, and they are quite certain that they are not constipated.  The most surprising thing to novice fasters is that repeated enemas or colonics during fasting begins to release many pounds of undeniably real, old, caked fecal matter and/or huge mucus strings.  The first-time
