:eek: those two words give me the shivers.... :eek: and is that your hand as the thumbs-up icon ....

steveland?

this thread makes me nervous... it's a one way passage tbh...

You might get more replies in the fitness section or somewhere. You'll find nothing but bitterness and resentment here..

Tiriel

how about you explain the procedure a little .. :eek: cos most of us haven't actally gotten it done.. and give your own opinion.. that way we could give a more informed answer.. instead of just freaking out at the thought of it!!!

although I'm sure it's a worthwhile thing to do.. cleanse the system and all.. hmmm :eek:

Lump

I'm intrigued by the thoughts... It must be good to clear out all the crap.

You're doing a scientific?

Just how does one go about doing a scientific?

GuanYin

There's no medical problem with it for most healthy people, if thats what you mean.

This thread needs a huge dash of heterosexual pixie dust, you might just turn gay after this procedure! :eek:

I am MAN

I would be well interested in getting one of these done, I hear they have good benefits for the health and im sure you would feel great after it, on that note does anyone have any information on who does this procedure and where it is carried out? (not a joke by the way)

Saruman

I think i would like one!! I have Ulcerative colitis and i have more or less beaten it with changing my diet and using natural supplements so it does not bother me now.. but still... could be a good thing.. flush out all the crap down there

Take 20 litres of luke warm water, the juice of 6 lemons, a black and decker powerhose and one tub of vaseline......

Seriously, there are any number of private health and beauty places in Dublin, Cork and Galway that offer the service.

I have heard it rumoured that by having this done, you can get rid of up to approx half a stone in weight of waste matter. :eek:

I've no linky's or facts to back this up... twas just something I heard in a conversation recently.

and a lot of chewing gum!!!

Daveirl... your quoted information mentions up to 80 pounds of faecal matter.

Last time I calculated, half a stone = 7 pounds... I'm quite sure that can happen quite easily, especially as the human alimantery canal is approx 9 metres (30ft long). Lots of places for bits and pieces to get lodged in :rolleyes:


Info on the colon, colonic irrigation and disorders

The average person may have up to 10 pounds or more of old un-eliminated waste sitting dormant in the large intestine. Others can have as much as 10 to 30 extra pounds of unnecessary weight that can be eliminated doing high colonic irrigation.

Yeah but it's the Large Intestine that is irrigated/cleansed and it is only 1.5m long.

1.5 metres is still a fairly large area for stuff to collect in though.

I'm not talking about one giant solid lump weighing 7 pounds blocking up your entire colon like a plug.
I'm talking about bits and pieces lodging in the crevices and folds of the colon. Yes, I understand that there is constantly matter travelling through the digestive system, but is it not concievable that some of it is left behind??

Hagar

There was me thinking I'm a fat bastárd and all the time I was just full of shyte.

Oddly enough I don't feel consoled by this.

I'm with daveirl on this one. I read before how colonic irrigation has few health benefits. Apparently it's a bit of a scam. It's aimed at gullible and lazy people who do no exercise and have terrible diets. These people are always looking for the easy way out/quick fix. Because they are lazy and have no willpower, getting a hosepipe stuck up their arse a few times a year is preferable to making any meaningful lifestyle changes :rolleyes:

Just to back up what myself and daveirl have been saying, check out this article from the US National Council Against Health Fraud. CI does appear to be a total scam.

So it seems that CI is in the same category as shark cartilage as a cure for cancer and arthritis, penis enlargement pill/creams and countless other useless quack remedies.

i'd be interested in this tbh.. although i'd prefer if there was some kind of 'do it yourself' kit to buy in dunnes or somthing.. i don't think i'd feel comfortable with a stranger doing it.. but i wouldn't mind doing it.

axer

apparently it can be very dangerous to get done as there are many risks involved (besides possible enjoying it and then realsing you fancy the male nurse performing it - urrrggg - : shivers : ) It can cause ruptures in your colon.

i had it done 3 years ago, it's relaxing to say the least, is often done to ease pressure of the apendix....

Marilyn Munroe used to get her personal nurse to administer colonic irrigations regularly. One of the conspiracy theories that has been floating around recently regarding her untimely death, is that the usual solution that she usually used for the procedure was replaced with a solution containing the overdose of drugs that eventually killed her. :eek:

JohnCleary

Why dont you just take a load of laxitives? That'll clear ya out!

Gordon

I've done it a few times in the house, it feels great. You can do it yourself, check out google for more info. I've heard of coffee enemas and vegetable enemas etc etc but lukewarm water is fine.

An ex of mine's Mum used to detox for a month in the year by having an enema every week or twice a week, drinking only fruit juice for about 2 weeks and having a glass of her own urine every day. Those whacky Russians.

No big deal to enemas, just take it slowly and don't force anything.

Oral Slang

Hey, for anyone that wants to get this done - the only place I know of that does it in Dublin is the Medicosmetic Centre, 6 Windsor Place, Dublin 2 - tel: 6629521
I bought a voucher for this for someone I know recently as a present. To say they were shocked is an understatement! But they went for it & afterwards said it really was great & would recommend it to anyone. They felt great afterwards.

"Im doing a scientific about the psychological aspects of feeling vs looking good"

yeah right & Im a journalist doing a survey which requires women to send me naked pictures please get moving geirls my editor is really on my case!! seriously colonic sounds like something we should all do once in a while whether we like it or not.
(like going to the dentist )

steveland?

i had IBS for years. I tried everything from diet to drugs. I started having colonics (which have come along way from the days of hoses and buckets) and the treatment was brilliant.

I release black matter which smelled putrid. Nobody needed to tell me that i was better off when that was not in my body.

The treatment itself was relaxing and pleasant. No embarrassing situation. Nobody seeing your bum. Very dignified.

Speaks for itself.

MaybeLogic

I had it done a couple of years ago.
It was very unobtrusive.
Cleaned me out.
T'was grand.
Just felt a bit light-headed afterwards,was all.

Sofiztikated

I had it done a few years ago, well, had it done twice, before a medical procedure. Was disconcerting, but felt good when it was done.

The_B_Man

lol i'd say it'd remove stuff from inside ya that are older than this thread!!

Biggins

Frankly, I couldn't be arsed.

MaybeLogic

It's not so bad,once you get to know the ins and outs of it.

LimeFruitGum

I'd do it as a last resort, if I had some chronic medical issue and a change in diet and lifestyle hadn't helped.

fletch...

just take a dump and be done with it, water is in short supply as it is

m@cc@

It's totally unnecessary. In the long term, it does more harm than good.

orourkeda

I find about 14 pints does the job.

JONJO THE MISER

colonic irrigation my eye, nothing that 8-10 pints of Guinness cant take care of and a hell of a lot cheaper.
