Despite My Better Judgement

Posted by – November 29, 2008

I have officially scheduled a “colon hydrotherapy” session, on the advice of a friend who has traditionally given me quality advice in the arena of aesthetics. She swears I will both feel and look better as a result.

Just thinking about it makes me anxious. But I’ve always been one of those “I’ll try anything once” types of girls — not always to my benefit, mind you — but I’ve heard enough people talk about it now that I thought I’d try it. Just once.

Please, talk me out of it.

    Sasha,

    You need to read this article. It is meant to be funny, but I also think it can give you the answers you seek.

    Be ready to laugh and possibly crap your pants.

    Is there a specific reason for this? Like... is your body shutting down or is it just because it's something that a lot of Vegans "do"?

    Unless you really NEED it, think it's a bad idea to start messing with your body's natural practices.

    I realize you're currently practicing veganism, so dairy yogurt isn't an option, nor is acidophilus milk. Look into vegan probiotic supplements instead. They will help to balance the bacteria in your digestive system, and shooting water up your pooper will be completely unnecessary. I promise!

    Oh, Sasha,

    you're gut is a self cleaning insturment! keep the water out of your ass, dear! Maybe its just a placebo effect?
  • hehe no way am I going to talk you out of this. I am dying to hear all about it.

    I have it on reliable medical advice (my uncle who is an MD) that unless you are constipated, a colonic will not bring anything out of your body that wasn't going to come out in the next day or two anyway. The bottom line is that it is an expensive and uncomfortable waste of time and money.

    you know.. they are recommended every seasonal change... I hate them but my digestive tract thanks me.
  • moxygirl
    My sphincter is cringing just thinking about it.
  • huh?
    Didn't Stevo get one of those in Jackass II?

    Anyways, good luck. Do share afterward. Not in too many details though.

    Isn't there a medical person in your family you could ask about this?
  • A colonic? I've heard they are a good thing.

    GOOD GOD GIRL - DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Your colon, rectum and anus are sacred! Only for you ... and possibly a medical professional in the event you develop colon cancer or rectal polyps. This is A BAD IDEA!!!!! Jees, take some dulcolax and eat a bowl of shredded wheat, same result, but in the privacy of your own home.

    You should watch Penn & Teller's episode of BullShit where they look into this- it's hilarious and disgusting ...

    Trust me honey, if this was medically necessary or had medical benefits, your physician would recommend it!

    Couldn't you just do an herbal colonic cleansing program? LOVE evil beet and your blog! :-)
