I had a feelin' you'd know what I'm dealin' with
I took a day or two off of cayenne powder this week, and took only Herb Pharm cayenne tincture. Then, when I resumed a 1/4 tsp powder dose, it felt good to my head, circulation, and well being, and I said to myself "why'd I quit taking it in the first place?". I'll resume today at 1/8 to 1//4 tsp or so after skipping a dose last night. Actually, taking it 2x a day vs 3x a day might be another way to help reduce gas. I plan to try taking more when I get on the program, which should be soon, maybe even today, but I need to ask someone some things about what I need to start with. I need to devote today to trying to understand how to proceed with the IP.
I took a
Coffee-Enema yesterday and it felt good, and was probably much needed. For some reason, it seemed like cayenne quit speeding up my bowels and just caused gas. Took the
Coffee-Enema right after a BM. I couldn't retain the 1st one, so I did one with water only, then another
Coffee-Enema and retained it for 15+ minutes. I figured it would be a good idea to begin CEs now. I used organic coffee that had been in my fridge for a couple years (SA Wilson coffee is on the way here). It smelled good when brewing [an unusual smell for this house]. I used to use Mexican Organic coffee I bought from a place in TJ via mail. It was very strong. I had two kilos of it and gave one to a local church after I thought I'd quit CEs [poor idea!], and I guess they thought it was the strongest coffee they ever had - lol.
I hope it's not TMI but I could smell the bile when I expelled the coffee, and I remember smelling that when I did CEs a few years ago. I *think* that's what I smelled. It really seemed to help, as, like I said before, 90k cayenne seemed to quit speeding up my bowels and I didn't want to increase it and get more gas. When the gas increased, it sped up my bowels, but before the gas increased, my bowel almost seemed to slow down to one BM a day, which is why I thought CEs would be a good idea right now.
When I get on the program I'm going to try the more powerful 160k Birdseye cayenne. I also have a tincture I made with it, that's not ready yet but is very hot as it is. I got some on my hand a few days ago and it really burned for several hours.
I will do Castor Oil packs. Tried them once and will do them again, this time with probably better results with your method. Have done some short cold/hot showers and may do that with hot/cold water bottles too.
Plenty of blessings,
Joe
