Again, too much water
Well made it through the day yesterday at work. It was so busy. I know I just keep saying that but it just keeps getting busier, if such a thing was possible. Right after work I had my first colonic hydrotherapy. I’m not going to describe it in detail here. If you don’t already know what it is and you’re curious (and don’t say I didn’t warn you!) search for it on Google. Needless to say, it was a weird experience and I’m supposed to have another one when I get back from DC.
I don’t think I will do that. The procedure is controversial with some people claiming miracles of regained health from it and others warning that it’s very dangerous. So I had the experience and it did nothing for me. So the one time is enough, despite the enthusiastic reviews from some acquaintances. I am willing to try new things but expect some sort of positive results for my money.
Vegetable Man has had acupuncture done. He’s not sure it helped at all and it was somewhat painful despite what they told him that it would be painless. And he’s not a sissy about pain but stoic. He went two or three times to have it done.
Have you had any alternative health care? What is your verdict about it?

I tried hypnotherapy once...I sat in the chair for an hour listening to the therapist chatting to what he thought was my subconscious, it didn't work of course but it was wonderfully relaxing.
Love the cat thing, so true. There's a photo on my blog you might enjoy, Monday 11th of July. Alfie has had a thorough tongue bath courtesy of the Spaniel
The only 'alternative' treatments I have had are Chiropractic. Oh, and I believe that some herbal remedies are better than traditional medicines.
I just love the cat quotes!!
I havn't tried any alternative remedies. I think I would give certain ones some thought though
Loved the cat quotes. I hadn;t heard of that british one though. The last two are my faves. After being the "owner" of a male cat for about 13 years I know that you can not own a cat.
HAve a good day
I would like to try that colonic hydrotherapy actually. I haven't tried any alternative therapies but hypnotherapy to help me lose weight intrigues me and I've herd very good things about Reiki healing.
Love the cat quotes! So true!
i've not tried any type of therapies, i'm a total wuss, although my father in law has had acupuncture and found it very good...
:0)
i love the cat quotes
I've wanted to do the colonic thing but I just haven't got up enough gumption to do it yet. I'm a big chicken! :)
Other than herbal remedies, I haven't tried any alternative treatments.
Cats often scare the crap out of me when I go out in the yard at night with my telescope.
I never get used to the fact that there will be one lurking.
I suggest beer as the best form of hydrotherapy.
my cousin was trying to talk me into getting a colonic the other day. I'm with Stacy. Still trying to drum up the nerve.
I have tried acupuncture, and I try to use herbal remedies when it's nothing all that serious. I'm pretty much willing to try anything once.
I've never tried any alternative therapies.
I wonder what the theory is behind colonic hydrotherapy improving your health?
Hope all went well with the hydrotherapy. When do you get the results? are there results to be gat even? I need to go look it up on the net.
"there's no snooze button for a cat that wants breakfast"
sheesh, aint that the truth lol
I've been treated for headaches and bladder infections by aromatherapy---I found it uninvasive, relaxing and effective.
I'm tagging you, sweetie.
If you've done a meme in the last 6 months, I'll forgive you if you don't want to do it. =)
Been there, done that 3 times...it worked for me. Yes it is a distinctive experience...one I relate with the use of a garden hose for poetic reasons. That always gets a few laughs for an unfunny situation.
Hypnotherapy usually only works for those of us who are willing. For those who are like me a huge skeptic, no one can put us under! I just spend the whole time giggling LOL
I have had accupunture on my neck and back.......i don't think it did a thing. The best treatment i have ever had is sports massage....heaven!
I would definitely get acupuncture if I needed it because it's only an alternative medicine in comparison to western practices. I've seen enough of its effectiveness to be convinced even if I don't quite know how it works. :)
As for the enemas, um... maybe I'd try it? I don't really see how it'd be dangerous. Just extremely unpleasant?
