I approached my first colonic hydrotherapy session with plenty of research and armed with knowledge. I found interesting articles about the pratice and researched the perfect therapist. Okay, in North Carolina there are few people in this profession. Lets face it....who wants to look at someone butt all day and the sewage that comes out of it. But I wanted someone I felt comfortable with. So I kept calling and asking the right questions. I wanted an experienced person, with over 10 years and preferably a female. I also wanted a person of color, Asian, Hispanic, African American or Indian. I wanted to feel comfortable. I hit the lottery with Bobby, she is a nurse and has been doing colonics for over 15 years. She is also African American and well versed in nutrition.
Here is an interesting fact:
- Did you know that in one form or another cleansing of the large intestine (bowel or colon) has been practiced since 1500 BC?
Well, off I went and I was scared. Now those of you who know me, know I do not scare easily. Even with all my research I was still fearful. I called my friends the morning of to say good bye. In case I died on the table. I know funny, what a way to go! I even called Monique a new friend that morning to say I was off. I think she now knows I am certified....LOL. She was like okay, you will be okay. I drove to the location and sat for 4 mins...Just pondering what in the hell did I get myself into.
Then Bobby came to the office door and waved me in...Damn she saw me! I could not pull away. She invited me in her office and we discussed the procedure, the benefits and if there was any reason for me to be so nervous. She took me into the procedure room that looked so innocent, with a wonderful calming smell and soft music playing. I was like okay...this may not be so bad. She directed me to undress and what position to lay on the table. In order to relax, I took out my Palm to play solitaire while I waited. I undressed as instructed, got on the table and started a fierce game of Solitaire. Bobby entered into the room and started discussing what would happen next. She showed me the packaged tubes, I jumped up and said "You are going to but that tube where? What? Back There? I was half way off the table and reaching for my sweats. In my research I thought the tube would be the size of tubes used for IVs. Yes, folks....I did. I envisioned a smaller tube in my mind. Bobby in her calming voice explained that size tube would get clogged and could not be used.
Folks, I am a virgin! Okay, Okay! Well, I am there...and that tube looked big to me and I was worried! I was saving that for marriage. It was the least I could offer! Okay I know TMI!
So I took a few minutes to calm myself and to ask a few more questions. Like why that size? Is that industry standard? Do men complain about the size? Boy I had some funny questions. I eventually allowed her to begin the process. Now everyone thinks that their stuff does not stink. I am here to tell you mine does not! Especially when its contained in a tube and goes thru a machine. It was a weird experience, but worth it! The system used purified warm water to clean my colon and push out impacted and old stuff. She massaged my stomach and that seemed to help get some more out of me. After it was done, I weighed a whopping 4.5 lbs less. I was amazed at how clear my thoughts were. Initially after I had one craving for oysters. I had some and then my cravings were gone. I have not craved since then. My skin looks good, it is glowing.
I went for a second session and I love it! I am eating nothing but veggies and I did have turkey meatballs one day, but they upset my stomach so much, I have opted to eat only fish. My third session is on March 1st and the very next day I train with my new trainer.
You will have to read my next blog for up to date pictures and to get information about my new trainer. Who is FINE! That's right ladies get a fine ass trainer. It is motivation to go workout with a fine man. My trainer has abs and a cute hard butt! I know because I accidently elbowed him there and hurt my funny bone!
Off to the gym!
