Vallerina 2 #1 June 21, 2005 No, I am most definitely NOT having one. I think that for healthy people, they sound pretty useless. I'm not sure why people have them. (Basically, one of my friend's so's is having them done, and we think it's silly!)There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #2 June 21, 2005 I have a friend who did that . Made me laugh, but she thought she got some benefit....lol. I'm sure all the benefits would be readily apparent with a good google search.... linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

Yeah, especially when they recommend you get a colonic a week for the first 4-6 weeks.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #8 June 21, 2005 I'm thinking of weird therapies that people make money off of. Colonic irrigation is one of them. I know that they used to be called enemas. So, services and products are now "flooding the market." I understand that there's a decent amount of porn out there surrounding "colonic irrigation." My guess is that shit sweeping would probably be even more effective in a hyperbaric chamber. Breathing pure oxygen. Well, not pure. It's gotta be scented with myrrh and cassia and frankencense. And drinking herbal tea. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #9 June 21, 2005 Fa pete's sake, ask anyone over 50. It's what you do the day before you have a colonoscopy; drink stuff that makes everything (including the 37 or so gallons of water) rush right through you. I'm told that after that, you most definitely are NOT full of shit Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #12 June 21, 2005 QuoteBasically, what does a 20-something year old healthy male need it for? It's silliness! Why do people "need" a 150 dollar haircut? Why do people "need" to spend an hour in front of the mirror making sure that they are adequately wrinkled and that their hair is ever-so-stylishly messed up perfectly? Why do people "need" to drive a junky BMW 325 when they can get a far beeter car for much less that isn't as flashy (p.s. - a BMW 700 series is truly the ultimate driving machine) Why do people pay 50 dollars for a tee shirt so they can be a billboard for whatever is cool? The reason why he needs to do it is simply because it's the hip, cool thing to do. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #16 June 21, 2005 QuoteWho would've thought that super-enemas were cool? Take a look at any of those PR infomercials on tv. Entertainment Tonight, Extra, The Insider, etc. You can PR anything. Ever hear of anal bleaching? Clicky. Yep, you can be just like the celebrities who prefer that their buttholes are a less offensive darkened color. I'm telling you, val. Anything can be pumped up into something cool and people will do it. It's all about PR campaigns. I mean, think about it - the "in" thing to do nowadays is rehab. Apparently, rehab facilities have ad executives and PR people pumping them up! There is no limit to the wierd shit people will do. Trust me, if the "Feast on Vomit" diet were to come out, all you'd need were a few A-list celebs to say, "I prepared for this red carpet moment by dieting for a week on processed vomit, and I feel fantastic" then there'd be a demand for it.
