to explain a little more – one of the main functions of the colon is to re-absorb water back into the body.  you will notice afterward that you will have to pee more than usual that day.  the entire body gets hydrated, which is great, especially for the kidneys.  that is why it is so important to use spring water or purified water.   tap water (even for an enema at home) is not the greatest, since it usually contains fluoride and other chemicals that could harm your natural flora.  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

lyme, you won't have water leakage!  and i do agree with pegasus.  for a few days before, try to eat the healthiest diet you can.  fruits, veggies and avocado is great.  you will be more comfortable and have better results.

hey nolaelle  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif  in my opinion, pole IS a form of contemporary dance.  sometimes it is just called aerial pole, or like jojo said – aerial acrobatics.  pole dance can be any kind of dance you want it to be.  you could show him a video of Oona, or one of the dancers who have more gymnastic or ballet style.  that might be a good intro.  good luck and keep us posted!

sorry, i couldn't delete it!  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif   i agree that most doctors want to help their patients.  it's just depressing how many sick people there are, and how the statistics show cancer and other diseases are on the rise..  that's why i always encourage people to do their own research and not just listen to the mainstream…

sorry, gummypia!  obviously you are one of the good doctors.   i will try to delete that comment that i wrote..   i wish there were more like you out there..  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

okay, i read the article by the mayo clinic guy.  not a very good article at all.  for one thing, colon hydrotherapy is extremely hydrating to the body – and that is a fact!  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif  also, if people were able to get rid of all of the toxins and waste that they dump into their bodies, we would not have all of these illnesses.  america's health is on a fast decline.  people are getting sicker and sicker, while big ag, big pharma, as well as the cancer industry, are making billions.

hey lyme!  well i can see this is going to be a controversial subject, and i don't want to argue with anyone…  but i have had amazing experiences with colonics (and i used to work with a woman in san francisco who had a colon hydrotherapy practice, so i have given about 100 or so colonics to people).   first of all, most doctors tend to be against anything that is natural, mostly because they have limited education, and treat everything with drugs.  in my actual experience working with people, plus my own experience, colon hydrotherapy does not disrupt the natural intestinal flora.  you can take some acidophilus afterward if you are worried about it.  and from what i have actually seen come out of people (with my own two eyes!) the most dramatic results happen when the person is doing an herbal cleanse (taking colon cleansing herbs in combination with a cleansing diet).  however, you don't have to do a big cleanse.  just eat lots of raw fruits and veggies for a few days.  you can also have plain potatos, and use apple cider vinegar and lemon juice for salad dressing.  there are lots of good herbal cleanse programs available at health food stores.  good luck!    https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

i have also been doing the "pure splits" and "stretching for pole" dvd's for 8-9 weeks.  except that i only do them once (or twice max) per week.  in the beginning i tried doing them more often, but found that two days in a row was not beneficial to me.  for example, my splits would be better on the first day than the second.  i found that if i leave at least a couple of days in between stretching, i progress much further and much faster.  maybe that's just me, or my muscles need more recovery time than others'.  anyway, i have had amazing progress.  i just got my right fronts on march 30!
