Let's rephrase it. I was very nervous the first time I did it. It was weeks when I first read about it before I had the nerve to try it, especially when I kept reading about stuck stones. EVERYTHING has risk associated with. I personally didn't have any overwhelming medical conditions that would be contra-indicated to the process, but I did have conditions which could be benefited by it. Once I did it - my personal experience became a reaction of "much ado about nothing". The worst part was the taste. Felt nothing, slept thru the night, had diarhhea in the morning and saw what I was told to expect to see. Couldn't wait to do it a second time.
You can analyse anything to death and never do anything and that could really be deadly.
I'm also doing SWF's on a regular basis, which I was reluctant to do. Now I swear by them.
Have you ever blindly accepted a prescription by your doctor, because he told you that would fix your problem? I'll just leave that question out there.
