Colonics and Diet, and a bit of gas

My last post I had mentioned that I would be posting about gas and how colonics can help - well, I actually already WROTE that post one post earlier!  Oops!  

Well, the truth is, I wanted to have an excuse to post that great picture - you know, the "do not fart" sign? 

Here is another one, to the right of this.

To catch up on that post, click HERE.  

I promise it is fascinating reading, especially Matt Monarch's excellent article on the Blood Gas Theory and why colon hydrotherapy is essential for taking your health to a whole new level, which I am all bout!

For more in-depth explanation of the Blood Gas Theory, you  must read Mr. Monarch's excellent book, Raw Success.

So now onto diet. 

There are so many books out there telling you about the BEST way

 to eat.  I truly believe that if you can tune

 into your body, than your body will let you know what is GOOD,  and what is NOT GOOD, or as I prefer to call it, "NOT OPTIMAL".

  

This does not mean that if you have a craving for salty chips your body needs it.  Uh uh.  Sorry about that.  It's a good story you can feed to yourself but it is not true.  Usually the body will crave imbalanced food choices if you are constantly feeding it imbalanced food - such as processed starches, sugars, packaged food, fried food, etc.  It is a vicious cycle that CAN be broken.  I have done it.  And I feel better than ever - and am much more sensitive to the NOT OPTIMAL food, wh

ich for me now is anything processed - even a rice cracker doesn't sit so well.  

For me, I am discovering that SIMPLE WHOLE FOODS, (NOT the store) are what

 my body, mind and spirit thrives on and enjoys.  My body seems to love raw fruits and vegetables the most, with small amount of nuts and seeds. 

My husband and I start our day with water with juice from half a lemon (to cleanse the liver) and then shortly after that we juice a lovely GREEN JUICE with our Omega Juicer.  I love this juicer - it is a single auger juicer that juices

leafy greens beautifully.  It is a great first juicer and very easy to clean.  I have heard the twin gear juicers are even better, so when we eventually upgrade, it will be with the Samson Kempo Juicer, which I have heard is excellent.

The benefits of juicing are too numerous to list here.  

To name a few:

1. Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the veggies

2. Juicing allows you to consume optimal amount of veggies in an efficient, easy to digest manner

3. Juicing allows for plenty of VARIETY.

Occasionally I get harried in the morning, and that is when I whip up a heaping tablesppon of SUPER GREEN FOOD with water.  Sometimes I have the green mix with a green juice, too, for the added benefits of what is in the green powder, which usually has a base of barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella, etc, depending on the brand.  I like to switch them up from time to time.  You can see a wonderful assortment of Super Green Food Powders HERE.

The green juice tides me over, and then later we typically have a GREEN SMOOTHIE, of which I gave a few recipes in my last post.  I often add soaked CHIA SEEDS to my smoothies for extra protein, fibre and hydrating properties, and often add a nice creamy dollop of coconut oil to further my energy.

This combo stabilizes my blood sugar and can keep me going all day, and my tummy is SOOOOOOOO happy!

Okay, I want to write more but my body is telling me to get off the computer and let my eyes (and hands) rest.

I am always open to any questions and comments!

In light!

Get rid of gas with colonics!

This post is going to be short - but I wanted to to let you all know that I am coming out with a good post about gas soon(yay!) and how colonics can greatly help this often...how shall I put it - uncomfortable situation!  

In the meantime, I leave you with an old childhood song:

Campbell's Soup

Makes you poop

Down your leg and in your boot

On the floor and out the door, 

Now get ready for some more!

Yes, I sang that in kindergarten and that lovely tune has stayed with me all these years!

And now on to food:

Food tip of the day:  Include more leafy greens in your diet by having a green smoothie every day!  

I use my amazing Vitamix Prep for this - a heavy duty 3+ horsepower mother of all blenders!  For more info on these miracle machines, click HERE

Some great smoothie recipes are:

Mango Parsley

2 large mangoes

1 bunch parsley

water

YUM!

Strawberry - Banana - Romaine

1 cup strawberries

2 bananas

1/2 bunch romaine

water

delish!

Pineapple Spinach Celery Dream - my personal fave

1/2 cup or more of low glycemic berries

1/2 cup fresh pineapple (can use the core)

1 to 2 cups baby spinach

1 or 2 sticks celery

water or coconut water

Blend until smooth and ENJOY!

For longer lasting satisfaction, throw in a tablespoon of gorgeous Virgin Coconut Oil and be transported in to BLISS.

Be creative!  And remember, you can mix fruit with all kinds of leafy greens for wonderful food combining benefits (I would skip the mustard greens, though!)

Until next time...

Colonics and Gas-Spring is the perfect time for cleansing!

IT'S SPRING!!!

The change of the seasons is an ideal time to cleanse and do a series of colonics.

Why is this?

The change of the seasons often has us eating differently, changing our physical activity, and son. Spring has traditionally been a time to cleanse the liver and many people are known to do liver flushes at this time, along with colon cleansing, using either oxygen

supplements such as Colosan

or herbal cleansing programs.

As always, colon hydrotherapy is an adjunct to any cleansing program and to a healthy lifestyle.

The sense of relief one gets simply from the waste and gas being moved out of the system is IMMENSE, and for those embarking on a journey towards greater health and vitality, colonics are essential.

Colonic Irrigations allow you to develop a personal relationship with what you eat and the effect it has on your body, and on your organs of elimination - primarily, the colon.

I quote (and paraphrase) my favourite blogger, Matt Monarch:

"Colon Hydrotherapy IIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS my speciality. Ladies and Gentlemen, YES...my passion in life is telling people to, "Shoot water up their bums". This is not an ego thing, by any means...I get no personal benefit from "preaching" this.

Dr. Fred Bisci has seen over 25, 000 clients in his 50 years of experience. Thousands and thousands of people have had tremendous results and not one of the

m has run into s SINGLE problem. We have both seen people just SLIGHTLY improve their diet and do masses of colon cleansing, and heal from degenerative diseases. In my opinion, it is the number one thing anyone can do for their health and the most important thing to do to heal from degenerative disease. If you can get a chance, study the blood gas theory here. AND YES, in my ~!!!!!!Passionate!!!!!!!~HEART-F

ELT opinion, it is COMPLETELY SAFE.

I can give you emails from hundreds of people who will state that enemas and colonics saved their life.

Enema dependency is, in my opinion, an absolute falsehood. Dr. Norman Walker and Ann Wigmore both state that enemas and colonics STRENGTHEN, rather than weaken, peristalsis. I personally have been experimenting with this sort of thing for 8 years and I don't have a problem having a bowel movement (Xell: I have had the same experience - in fact, pooping has become nearly a spiritual experience!!! :D). There could be confusion around this sort of thing because people don't understand what is happening to them.

Sometimes after someone gets a colonic, they don't need to go to the bathroom for 48 hours, which is completely normal and okay (Xell: for some, it can be even longer than this, as it will reflect your own transit time). You just cleaned out this 5 to 6 foot receptacle of waste. Very soon, you will be eliminating normally again. Many fasters (eating no solid food for extended periods of time) doing regular enemas or colonics report solid waste coming out of them the entire time period of their fast!

Where is all is this solid waste coming from???

This issue doesn't lay in becoming DEPENDENT on enemas. When someone does enemas, they can get addicted to that blissed clean feeling...AND...they cleanse more rapidly than others....the cells are much more c

ontracted on a "cleaner" person, especially someone who practices colon cleansing frequently; they have less margin for error in their consistent food choices. Their hundreds of trillions of thousands of cells are in s small, contracted state with less internal obstruction than the majority of people. Therefore, they are affected by fermentative gas produces by certain foods more, because there is less space for this gas inside their structure, while someone with bigger cells won't notice a thing with the same amount of gas. Read the Blood Gas Theory for a deeper understanding here.

A lot of interesting things to mull over!

I recently posted about Coconut Oil

and so many of you know how much I love it. A friend recently asked me which ones I recommended - I love to try different brands and I have to say that my top favourites are Nutiva Virgin Coconut Oil and Wilderness Family Naturals. The taste of both brands is exquisite and works wonders as a face and body moisturizer, as well. Other great brands are Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil and Cocopura Virgin Coconut Oil.

I promised the poo rating system - that will be the next post! :)

Until next time...

Why we need Colonics in Connecticut

"There is no ailment, sickness or disease that will not respond to treatment quicker and more effectively than it will after the administration of a series of colonic irrigations."

Dr. Norman Walker

I am an admirer of Dr. Normal Walker, who was a raw food pioneer and a Colon Irrigation enthusiast, as well as a juicing enthusiast.  His book, Colon Health is a must read for anyone interested in vitality and greater health.   You can see his entire collection here.

Matt Monarch, the Raw Food educator, often posts about the necessity for colon cleansing with colonics in his wonderful and always interesting blog.

He writes:  

"When you cleanse the colon you definitely provide a greater opportunity for waste in the small intestines to dump into the colon.  The most important thing about colon hydrotherapy is that it eliminates gas.  That gas pressure is what constipates our cells from detoxing on a cellular level.  You can sometimes feel this gas pressure in your head and other areas of the body.  Most people get MASSIVE relief after doing a colonic.  If you have improved your diet in any way consistently for a reasonable amount of time, then it's a GREAT idea to do a colonic and there is a GREAT chance that you too will experience a massive amount of RELIEF!

Relief is right.  Colonics coupled with a whole foods diet, or even better, a mostly raw vegan diet, will take your health to a whole new level!

Bye for now.

All About POO and colonics, too

I love talking about poo.  It's what I do.  And it's fun and entertaining, too.

I think I may be a poet and did not know it...

So why poo, you ask?  Well, we all do it.  Even Oprah does it!  And whether we are shy about it, talk about it, look at it or are in denial about it, it's a fact of life.  If you ain't pooping, you ain't feeling too good!

Enter Colonic Hydrotherapy, Colonics, Colonic Irrigation, High Enemas, ETC...all different names for essentially the same thing:  an internal bath for your colon, also known as the large intestine.

The Colon is the final part of the digestive tract and is located in the abdomen.  Its main functions are to eliminate waste and absorb water.  It is five feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter.  It is inhabited by billions of friendly bacteria (hopefully) which assist in detoxifying waste, synthesizing certain vitamins and minerals, and helping us guard against infection.

So back to poo.  How is it for you?  The average person is carrying anywhere from four to fifteen pounds of fecal matter inside their colon!  :0  If that is not scary, what is.  I know that I, for one, would want to get that stuff moving out as quickly and efficiently as possible.  

Colonics are wonderful for this.  Most of us eat a far from impeccable diet and for our long term health and longevity, it is essential to do Colon Cleansing  once or twice a year.  You can learn more about Colon Health here.

Coming soon:  My very exciting and entertaining poo rating system.  Guaranteed to please.

And feel free to ask any questions!  I welcome all bums.

Ciao for now,

x.

Did you know?

The inimitable Mr. Matt Monarch tagged me today (or was it yesterday?)  How fun!

I know I am new at this blog thing and goodness knows if anyone has even been to this page, but anyhoo, here are five things you definitely don't know about me:

1.  I was the lead in two high school plays

2. I have tried Urine Therapy!  I believe in it in many ways but it just ain't as tasty as a green smoothie, ya know?

3. I lived in India for nearly three years.

4. I used to be addicted to chocolate chip cookies 

5. I participated in a "Sweat" Lodge

Hmmm, I see that I could go on and on...and I didn't even tell you the juicy stuff!

Bye for now!

Coconut Oil

I love all things coconut.  I have been using coconut oil, butter, cream, meat, water, flakes ETC, for several years.  

I am on a coconut craze, especially after reading "The Coconut Oil Miracle", by Bruce Fife, ND.  

He recommends a therapeutic dose of 3 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil a day - that's right - TABLESPOONS!!!

I have a colleague who has been on this dose for two months now and has had some amazing things happen.  

One, a "stain" she had on her cheek for many years disappeared 5 weeks into this protocol. 

 Two, she is starting to release what looks like possible parasites (worms)!  

This is no real surprise as coconut oil has anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, among a host of other benefits.  

Do a google search on the benefits of coconut oil and delve into the miracle of this wonderful health food.  Better yet, read the book.
