Re: PTree...
First, when was the last time your bowels moved? When was the last time you had a significant bowel movement? Can you describe what you released?
Yes...take your normal medications on the day of your colonic.
Did the doctor tell you what the nature of the blockage was? Do you know what was in the pre-cleanse that you took?
I'm surprised with all the things you've tried that you are not releasing more. Have you tried enemas? Or an
Epsom Salts flush? Any results with these? (I also like Natural Calm...powdered magnesium citrate...a Tbl at night should flush you out pretty well if you are well-hydrated. Another option is Phillip's Caplets which are magnesium oxide.)
If this started after your hysterectomy, I'm wondering if you don't have adhesions from the surgery that have effected your colon. Castor oil packs and deep massage may help break up the adhesions. Please don't worry about cancer....there could be many reasons for your problem!
Are you hyper or hypothyroid? What thyroid med are you taking? Why do you think the thyroid medication made things worse?
The worst case that I ever dealt with was a man that had not had a bowel movement in 7 weeks! He was horribly distended...looked like he was full-term pregnant, and it was pretty obvious to me that he had a major blockage. His skin was gray and he had sores all over with awful
Body Odor . I did
colonics on him 3X a week for a couple of weeks and also had him drinking lots of water, and taking 1-2 Tbl of Natural Calm nightly. It took several colonics, but things finally started to move...and it was amazing how much he released. He continued with the
colonics until his stomache was nearly flat! His sores had cleared up, his cheeks were pink, and his whole demeanor had improved. HOWEVER, the whole time I was treating him I was also advising him to get to the doctor because I knew something was very wrong. He refused to see a doctor...and shortly after I saw him last, I left the wellness center. I received a call from him a couple of months later and he said he had not moved his bowels since the last
colonic I had given him! And he STILL wouldn't go to a doctor!!! I was no longer doing colonics....and told him that even if I was, that I would not perform
colonics on him since there was clearly a major blockage that he needed to have addressed.
The point of my telling you this is that it is good that you are checking this out. And also that, while colonics can clear you out, even in extreme situations...if there is a physical obstruction, colonics will not be a permanent solution.
I looked over the site and it looks good. It sounds like she has a closed-system
colonic machine, which is good. You will be able to see what comes out through the tube. (I prefer the Wood's Method, but they are hard to find...and if she knows what she's doing, she can make her machine work just as well.) She also does energy and breathwork, which she may incorporate into the colonic...which would be good, too. I didn't see any mention of how long a session lasts...do you know?
My only concern is that she is involved in at least one MLM (Arbonne) and some of her other products may be, as well. Just make sure she doesn't push a lot of product on you. LOL...I know you're not one for getting suckered!!! :)
