Several years ago a friend insisted I try a colon cleanse. Very much into bodybuilding at the time...but also doing my share of partying, I felt like I'd hit a wall and the effects of my nitelife-style left me sluggish.
I had never dreamed of doing such a crazy ass thing but had an inordinate amount of repsect for this incredible woman thaqt suggested I do so.
Next thing you know, I'm lying down on a board with a hose going in thru the backdoor. It was humiliating and uncomfortable to say the least.
For 10 days @ 2 hrs per I lay there with this concoction of herbs and chloraphyl running in and out of my colon. It was the bravest thing I'd ever done.
The first few days were startling as about 100 lbs of fecal matter were swept from my body....and I only weighed 220! Ok...maybe it was about 5 lbs but it was intense none the less.
About 7 days into the clease I realised a rush of energy I'd not known since my teens ( I was about 35 at this time). The whites of my eyes were a brilliant white and the white in my finger nails went away. My fface had "a glow" according to friends.
By day 10 I knew that I would be doing this for the remainder of my life...what an incredible, health improving experience this was.
I have since done this (at home) about twice a year for 3 or 4 days at a time. I always experience renewed vigor but have read that such flushing can also remove beneficial flora in the colon and it is not necessarily a good idea (!?!).
Anyone else have commentary about this most uncomfortable of topics?
