The punch line from an old joke if I remember correctly but this is serious. It should be in health but I have put it here as a follow up to the ‘firm, sloppy’ post.
When I came to LOS I had always been very regular, once a day same time every day although the consistency varied depending on what I had been eating or drinking. This happy state continued for over a year with no noticeable disruptions with the change of diet. This gradually changed over the next couple of years, with timing at first then quantity at each dump till in the last month there was a feeling of ‘wanting to go’ all the time but only a small amount each time, not so much a crap as a series of carrier farts.
OK time to see a doctor where tests were prescribed one of which required a clean colon. I was given some medicine, take 30 cc in a glass of water and stand well clear, tasted like salt water and I have been in and under enough sea to know. Well nothing happened, so they gave me another lot and down went a double dose, should be a blast any suicide bomber would be proud of, but again nothing.
At this point the lady stepped in “I can do this”. She knows about health and is particularly keen on natural ways of doing things, even went to India and studied at a natural health hospital. One of the things she is keen on is enema or de-tox, does it on herself regularly and recons it keeps her healthy. She had been on at me to do it also but I have always resisted, the A hole has been strictly one way, up till now.
OK we will give it a go, nothing high tec about this all that is needed is a 1.5L water bottle with the bottom cut out, a length of plastic tube and a clip to stop and start the flow.
I won’t go into all the gory details suffice to say that after 3 bottles of water a huge amount of rubbish had been flushed out including a quantity of what could only be called sand, the residue of a life time including 3 years of unforgiving a-haan thai.
But there was more to come I kept running to the bog for the rest of the day getting rid of small quantities of what had been loosened from the upper colon till finally in the evening what can only be described as the mother load arrived with a splash. After that only a few delicate little farts to signal a clear passage.
What an improvement, haven’t felt so good in a long time there really is something in this, no pun intended. For those experiencing problems as described in the firm sloppy post give it a go, no pain involved, a little discomfort and maybe some embarrassment at first but after the first time no problem to do it yourself.
I have to go back for another test tomorrow and again they want a clear field of view so I did it myself this morning, no hassle at all and this time only a small amount of rubbish. There is of course a measure of care required as to where you point the rear end to avoid repainting the whole room but after the first experience it is usually possible to get the lot into the porcelain.
I see San Paulo advertises doing the deed with 25L of water, hell bet most of you can’t even drink that much let alone take it up the arse, no need to go there where the first test they do is to check the depth of your wallet, anyone with nursing training can get you started and after that easy.
Who goes there friend or enema
Mae West seemed to do okay on it.
The usual response to this kind of suggestion from Luddites is scorn. It's a kind of knee-jerk reaction to mask anything people don't know about or fear.
The only thing this attitude does is to reduce options. Not very smart.
Washing the bowel can cure a host of problems, Enemas are even suggested in The Bible. I'm not sure I can stick a straw up my rear and draw up water from a gourd every day for 3 days. Bit tricky.
There are many different suggestions for enemas. I have gone the 'Mae West Enema' route and felt better for it. Every week or two I also down 2 litres of salt water first thing after rising which flushes the whole system. (like a fire hose)
Colonics aren't such a good idea since they force water into you under pressure and don't clean the whole elimination channel.
If you are generally constipated or a meat eater you are probably slowly poisoning your body as the meat decomposes in your bowel. The same if you don't have enough fibre or don't drink enough water.
I took an overweight Swedish friend of mine through a cleansing programme recently, during a week's holiday. He lost 7kgs and said it was the best experience of his life. Good for him that he was prepared to try.
Picking up an enema kit for 120THB, some organic coffee, baking soda and sea salt is easy, cheap and may be the best breathe freshener you ever tried.
