Re: Severe Cramping & Numbness in Extremities During Enema
Hi again tourmaline, I think your practice of eating prunes is a wise one as well as being a tasty treat. I buy packets of natural dried fruits including dried plums (prunes) and keep them in my studio to snack on during the day.
However I do have to disagree with the majority of physicians who say that for some people 2 or 3 bowel movements a week are normal. I believe that having less than daily movements is unhealthy and abnormal, and in such cases, enemas and colon hydrotherapy are preferable and recommended as alternatives.
From
http://www.momsraw.com/2009/03/constipation-linked-to-breast-cancer.html
"Physicians Nicholas L. Petrakis and Eileen B. King of the University of California, writing in Lancet, have found that women who have two or fewer bowel movements per week have four times the risk of breast disease (benign or malignant) as women who have one or more bowel movements per day."
See the above link for more information.
Believe me, as someone who has personally experienced the misery of life long constipation, and having witnessed the suffering of the patients and clients I treat as a practitioner of colon hydrotherapy, moving your bowels on a daily basis is by far the preferred alternative, even if it requires frequent enemas.
Sincerely,
Valerie
