has anyone had colonic irrigation?

[scampadoodle]

& if so, what did you think? Does anyone know of a good practitioner in North London? Thanks.

I've heard the Hale Clinic in Regent's Park is good.

Did you hear that from someone you know, Turquoise? I did have them in mind. It's for dh, BTW. I am completely stuck as to what to get him for his birthday & he's always fancied (!) it.

colonic irrigation for his birthday?!!!

thast a bit like my SIL who bought her dh a vasectomy for xmas!

Yes, I know a couple of people who've been. He should detox for a week or two first to get maximum benefit though.

I know, I know! But I am completely desperate as to what to get him - birthday this Saturday - & he has always wanted to try it. Thinks it will Clear Him Out.

Good tip re the detox, Turquoise, thanks.

Hi scamp. I used to go to a practitioner in North London who was very good, her name was Julia Barnes - I expect you can find her in the phone book. Lovely lady who looks so glowing-with-health herself that you can't help believing she knows a thing or two. She uses an holistic approach with dietary advice and knows all about supplements too.

Hi Anorak, how's things, I've not been on the threads for a while as been a bit out of ssorts due to my kidney probs and hospital.
How are things with your daughter?

I'd like to find more about your practitioner as I want to have this done. Whrereabouts in North London?

Hi alibubbles.

Julia was in Hammersmith when I used to go to her. More west than north I suppose. She set up her new clinic just as I stopped going due to moving away and having a baby. So not sure if she is still in the exact same area.

alibubbles why not come along to one of our meet-ups soon. We have wondered where you had disappeared to. Hope you are feeling better.

I'd love to have one! Am pregnant with my second baby, so basically have been constipated for the best part of 2 years It will be top of my list when I stop breastfeeding later this year. My friend is going for one this w/e I can't wait to hear what it's like!!

I found a listing for Julia Barnes: here

Oh yes scampadoodle, just had a look, that'll be her. She used to practise at the Brackenbury centre when I used to go and see her.

Not too attractive, is she? not sure I want some blonde bombshell sticking a tube up dh's a**e!

PMSL @ a colonic for a birthady

Sorry to tell you...she is blonde and gorgeous.

But so will you be when you enter the wonderful cleansing world of Julia Barnes and her magic tubing.

NomDePlume, dh is the most difficult man to buy for...he doesn't like gadgets or anything, is v fussy about music, buys loads of books for himself all the time, & with his birthday being so near Christmas I use up all my ideas then. & he's been saying for ages he wants CI. I'll give him the option of that or a massage - I'll organise & pay for it & look after the kids while he has it etc.

Well, I've done it, I have booked an appointment to have one done. There is someone about 5 miles away from us anorak, in Leavesden.

I'll let you know how I get on!

Yes, please do. I might start going again myself.

I just called Julia Barnes & got her answerphone - she's got one of those very sooooooooothing voices....

Well...................

I had one on saturday!!

It was fantastic, so calming and relaxing. I can't wait to have the next one, but she says I don't need to have one more than once a month.

I felt so light headed and fresh, lost all the bloating in my stomach and strangely enough my eyes feel so bright, whereas my eyes are my weak spot as have lots of problems with them due to no tear ducts, so can't cry! They feel clean instead of gritty, but when I think about it, the chinese look at your eyes to see how healthy you are etc.

I would thoroughly reccomend it, and the lady I went to was really lovely.

She asked me if I liked tomatoes and aubergines, I'd had ratatouille a week ago!!

does have it done make you lose a bit of weight as well?

I'm going to have one soon, got to get a summer's worth of barbies out of my colon

I did, I lost 3lbs, which she said was really good. Some people put on weight after one as they are so dehydrated they absorb the water, she has known people put on 6lbs! I drink at least 2 litres a day, so didn't have that problem.

Long term you can lose quite a lot, so I would hope to lose a stone over 6 months, ooh, what a lot of poo!!
