Hi Laura,   
My sister's colonics treatments are not Dr. Natura, but from a clinic where they 'Hoover" you out each time.  She said that she could see shat was coming out in a window and that some parasites came out also.  Terri has read about Chinese medicines and has a healthy diet and also exercise.  I know that having healthy habits only makes us feel better.  I just started exercising at a rec center with weights, cycle and swimming on alternate days. 

A few years ago I went in to an Ayurvedic Doctor here in Virginia and had a full workup done on my health.  What came back was a full lifestyle plan for my body type (Pitta-Vata) with diet, sleeping times, breathing exercises, and types of exercise best for me.   Pretty cool stuff.  I haven't tried yoga, but would like to sometime.  The Indian foods are great with lentils & all kinds of veggies.  I'm also a spice nut in the kitchen... 

My work hours are from 0600 - 4 or 5 PM and sometimes on Saturdays.  I ride around in a car most of the time and some early morning office time.  I am an arborist and work with trees in a sales role, so love the outdoors.  The stresses that go along with a sales job demand that you take good care of yourself so you can do well everyday.  Hard work has paid off the past few years, so I am now managing my time better.  All of this is connected to good health and the habits we choose. 

It is nice to hear from you.  I have enjoyed reading  your posts to other newbies on this forum.  Massage must be a fulfilling job for you because you are giving something good to others.  I bit the bullet last year and bought a series of sessions.  The regularity is important so you can enjoy the benefits.  Drink water and feel great!!  : )

see i notice how my paragraphs arent perfect and how this is a very informal way of posting as are most posts but i notice that every single paragraph from every person is perfect.... perfectly punctuated and grammatically correct  soo i just registered for some bull shit site and basically said YEAH SEND ME SPAM IM BEGGING YOU PLEASSSSSE SEND ME SPAM

Hey Just50,

You're right. I love doing massage work and it's very satisfying on many levels. I work with people in many places in life and value that they allow me to work with them as they plod through life's challenges. I've learned a lot from them, too.

I realized the confusion I had regarding your sister's treatments. You wrote that she "has had colonix treatments done in a clinic" instead of colonic treatments. I didn't realize how close those words were. I am familiar with colonic irrigation and know there are benefits to it.

I've watched several episodes of "You Are What You Eat" which is on BBCA and records the progress of overweight people in the UK who are guided by a holistic doctor that is a nutritionist and sets them out on a new dietary and lifestyle regimen. She often refers them for colonics. (likely to their shock and horror) and often asks for "a sample of their poo" and then discusses what deficits are in their digestive tract based on color, consistency, smell, etc. She also takes blood samples and has them analyzed for vitamin deficiencies and does a tongue diagnosis as well. It's interesting the story our bodies can tell is someone is listening.

And speaking of listening to the body, I've just called one of my therapists because I'm long overdue for a good massage myself...

Look forward to hearing about your progress!
