Colema® Board Testimonial by DR

Friday, February 15, 2002

Dear DR,

In all the years Bonnie and I have been working in the health area we had from time to time heard about colonics and of course enemas, but until now we have not been so graphically convinced of the power of healing involved.

Bonnie and Sandy (Bonnie’s daughter) have been taking colonics twice a day for two weeks. Sandy has been toxic and expecting to die since she arrived here 10 months ago. She has gone through even more suffering than Bonnie has reported in the last few issues of the newsletter. At this residential spa she has eliminated tremendous volumes of old mucous, hard and soft, that has been in her for years. She has experienced a dramatic reduction in the swelling that has plagued her for so long. Bonnie’s stomach is much reduced and she has released gobs of old stuff and even a parasite ball and more.

Since most people cannot go to a spa and spend the time or $$ required — nor perhaps are they at the critical stage — I have found an alternative method to dump the poisons and gain the benefits without breaking the bank. (I wish I had found this a lot earlier.) It is called a Colema® Board; this simple device allows you to achieve the same results as spending $1000’s at a spa while at home without the strange surroundings.

If you have an interest in reading about this amazing solution (the Colema® Board) please ask us to include in your next order two booklets as a gift; “Clean out your colon — and become 20 years younger” By Sam and Loren Biser (an interview with V.E. Irons, Sr.) and “The Destruction Of Your Own Natural Protective Mechanism” by V. Earl Irons, Sr.

If you are in the position to go to a spa in San Diego for a week (or not) ask us to also include with your order a free copy of the book Stay Young & Healthy Through Internal Cleansing by Milan Chessman the operator of the spa where Bonnie has been a patron.

Two catches:

1) You must call, write or email and ask for the material.

2) You must pledge that should you choose to purchase a Colema® Board you will allow us to be your choice in purchasing the board.

Thank You,

Dale Maxwell, Health Researcher and Coach

DR:

Dear Dale,

I already have a Colema® Board. With all your material, and Bonnie’s “Cleansing Reactions” booklet, I assumed you guys already knew this stuff. But just in case, here are some comments: In your e-mail, you say “this amazing solution” — a colema is a nice tool but only one piece. It doesn’t reach the GREAT quantity of crud in the small intestine. Several authors outline a full regimen of psyllium-bentonite shakes and/or cascara sagrada for a complete cleanse. Bernard Jensen has the classic book (Better Bowel Care/tissue mgt). Rich Anderson has great info in his Cleanse & Purify Yourself books.

A little psyllium-bentonite & cascara help, but the REAL ‘magic’ starts when you do the regimen 4-5x daily. It is truly amazing. Two weeks at the Spa — probably not nearly enough. Anderson suggests 4-5 cleanses the first year. I created my own hybrid program and got out 2-4 feet of crud *daily* for over a month. As late as day #28, I got over 4 feet out in a single day. And I’m a small guy! A few colemas alone just won’t do it. Also helpful is a digital kitchen thermometer to get the water temperature ‘just right.’

My order includes a request for another enema bucket. I bought one from you guys last year, but the hose included is a convenient attachment to my Colema® Board. (I need a replacement after 75 colemas!). I’d like for you to send me the booklets you mention. I have a collection of material but always look for more. Dr. Irons’ name keeps popping up but I’ve never read his stuff. So if you can throw those in my order — that would be great.

Hulda Clark is amazing, but bowel cleansing is a gaping hole in her program. What she calls a bowel program is a temporary quick fix. It seems odd when she talks about re-infecting yourself from your fingernails when many have 10-20 pounds of raw sewage sitting *inside.* Does she know about this stuff?

A final comment — I’d like to do more biz with you guys. You have a lot of great info and courageously fight the medical establishment. I’m trying to get my folks to cleanse and need to buy them a Colema® Board — when they agree; I’ll be contacting you.

Cheers, DR

Dale:

Dear DR,

A quick question about your hybrid program — did you maintain a strict fast?

DR:

Dear Dale,

No!!! I didn’t fast at all. I’ve studied nutrition, and concluded your body doesn’t “want” to fast. It doesn’t shut down because you’re cleansing. It needs nourishment, especially with the stress of cleansing. Even Hulda says cells “must” have amino acids to heal. (p165 CFAAC). I also wanted to maintain a fairly “normal” life.

Fasting isn’t for everyone. It’s a fast track. The Jensen/Anderson programs mentioned are not “true” fasts because they include many supplements. They are “cleanses.” Dr. Christopher’s program with the cascara-based formula doesn’t require fasting at all, though he had definite dietary preferences. Since most people don’t understand nutrition very well,

they may need help on a “true” fast. My general routine was:

0600 am psyllium-bentonite shake #1, with apple cider vinegar (per Jensen)

0630 am colema (with liquid chlorophyll, per Jensen)

0730 am mini-meal with supplements, including L. Salivarius

0900 am psyllium-bentonite shake #2

1030 am mini-meal with supplements

1200 pm psyllium-bentonite shake #3

0130 pm mini-meal with supplements

0300 pm psyllium-bentonite shake #4

0430 pm mini-meal with supplements, including bifidus

0600 pm psyllium-bentonite shake #5

0730 pm “regular” meal — mostly liquefied in a blender

1030 pm another bifidus or L. Salivarius

I used cascara sagrada on/off throughout because I read mixed views on it. It certainly works to speed things up. Some guys caution using cascara long-term, fearing you become dependent. Others like Anderson/Christopher say the opposite, suggesting cascara is very safe and helps restore normal peristalsis. They treated thousands with no problem.

However, Jensen gets results without it. I never saw any hard evidence either way, and no one ever defines “long-term.” My take is, someone very ill has little to lose if they need to clean out ASAP. I used an on/off approach to assure there were still normal bowel movements and no “habit” was being formed. Besides cascara, the Christopher/Anderson

Products include other herbs to help loosen the mucus. I also took one of Anderson’s products that had only those herbs (without the cascara), and then rotated back on it.

My liquid “mini-meals” supplied essential nutrients. I used foods that “absorb/digest” quick enough between the 5 daily psyllium-bentonite shakes to keep the GI-tract fairly clear. For example, I rotated small amounts of things like: For complete proteins/essential amino acids: the Dews Nutri-quick product you sell. There are many issues with soy products but

I figured short-term is OK. (see note #1); spirulina (complete protein, lots of B12, weak cell walls); whey powder; goat’s milk or goatein (fairly easy to digest). For essential fatty acids: Flax oil for n3, balanced with tahini, ground almonds, etc. for the n6 fats. (n3 = omega-3) for calories, coconut oil and the anti-microbial activity of lauric acid (for cleansing toxins). Coconut is falsely maligned (also see note #1). It has medium chain fatty acids absorbed directly without bile emulsification. For minerals/electrolytes: juiced vegetables or products like ‘naked juice;’ fruit juices; some of the supplement powders available. So, I found it is possible to do “serious” cleansing without fasting. In spite of having a couple of (well-chewed) ‘solid’ items with the evening meal, I still got tons of stuff out. One person I consulted with (Sheila Shea, a Tucson colon hydrotherapist) told me she had also cleansed without fasting using raw foods and another diet.

'Couple more notes . . .

All this is based on where I was personally. Before I started: fixed a nasty parasite problem with Hulda’s stuff; did 7 Hulda liver flushes; several weeks of her kidney tea;

several weeks of the Standard Process okra-pepsin product you sell to clear out the crucial first part of small intestine (per Kelley). So I figured those channels were working OK.

I modified Hulda’s regular “maintenance” parasite program and took black walnut caps twice a week. I figured there had to be more parasite stages hiding in all the layers of muck that came out. (I wonder if that’s why some people need to stay on her parasite program for several weeks?) I had the luxury of being at home for this.

If I started over today, I’d probably do the bowel cleanse first, to flush out as many parasites as possible without having to kill them and having the bacteria & other remains released into my body (had a big problem with that)! Sorry for the long-winded reply — but I spent a lot of time thinking about the whole fasting biz!

Cheers, DR

Dale:

Dear DR,

Did you massage your colon every time you were on the Colema® Board or ever?

DR:

Dear Dale,

Always. I used the Colema® Board for most of my cleansing. However, it was also valuable to have several sessions with two different professional colon hydrotherapists.

Each had a massage technique. One used hands-on and also a couple of special vibrators. Another massaged some lymphatic areas and feet. On my own, I was very tentative and

fearful of damaging something. They showed me I could massage more vigorously.

Jensen describes a technique using a tennis ball in Better Bowel Care (p128, 1999 edition). He also suggests massaging tender/sore areas until soreness is relieved. To me, colon massage is one part of developing a colema technique. The first colemas I did weren’t very thorough. I didn’t get the water very deep. I learned to pace myself with how much water to take in and when to release. It took a few tries to get it right. Now, I get a good cleansing with only 3 gallons. I don’t worry about getting too full at first. Usually there’s some ‘stuff’ that wants to get out. Then I try for a certain full feeling later on. Again, the professional hydrotherapists helped greatly. I feared taking in too much water or holding it too long. But they coached me well. Plus, I got other useful tips like don’t use powdered bentonite — it can form bricks. It is great having a resource to turn to.

Dale:

Dear DR,

Did you have any healing reactions during your process, such as fever, pain, rashes?

DR:

Dear Dale,

Not too much during the ‘intense’ cleansing phase I outlined. Just some fatigue, mild flu-like malaise, and various GI-tract aches (see later). However, that’s only part of the story.

I DID have lots of reactions prior to that. Some background: In brief, my health went steadily downhill for over 10 years. My symptoms included daily stomach pain for 3 years. I took over 800 tablespoons of Pepto-Bismol in 1998! For years I was very run-down with increasingly frequent flu-like feelings. I had sporadic heart palpitations. I ground my teeth so badly at night they were flat, then I got TMJ headaches during the day. Then I slowly turned things around. In 1999, I had about a dozen amalgams or metal crowns removed, and several cavitations cleaned. In 2000, I spent several weeks eliminating a parasite problem.

(Yet another story.) I had many of the healing reactions noted below. That stopped my stomach pain. Things stabilized some. I felt much better, yet still not great. Later in 2000 I started learning about bowel cleansing. I tried a few things: a little bentonite, some cascara,

and the okra-pepsin product. When I did, a whole new set of cleansing reactions started again. It was a roller coaster, but I was onto something. My worst cleansing reactions were:

— nasty flu-like malaise — fatigue — some days I didn’t feel bad, just extremely tired. I had

episodes I called fatigue bombs because they came on quickly. Sometimes by early afternoon I was so wiped out I just had to sleep. Then, I was groggy much of the day — being foggy-headed — numerous aches/sore spots in my GI-tract — occasional achy muscles all over. This went on for weeks. Then, last spring, I found Sheila Shea’s web site on colon health. She recommended Hulda’s book, so I felt in-tune. I booked several sessions with her in Tucson. While there, I read several books and she helped me understand the whole program. Returning home, I couldn’t get past 2-3 psyllium-bentonite shakes a day — still too many cleansing reactions. The consensus seemed to be to pace yourself. Dr. Rich Anderson used to tough it out. Now he suggests a 3-week ramp-up phase to loosen up mucus and spread out the reactions. Dentist Hal Huggins devotes a chapter in his book Uninformed Consent to Proper Detoxification after Total Dental Revision. He cautions that detoxification involves re-toxification and says many need to have their reactions slowed down — else overtax the immune system. So, I didn’t want to push any further just yet.

I tried a lot of methods to control the reactions and collected tips from everywhere.

Bonnie’s booklet is a good resource. Rich Anderson devotes an entire chapter in his 1st book. Some things finally got me over the hump: Daily colemas — several back-to-back sessions with Sheila showed me that “daily” works much better than “occasional” — Jensen’s program suggests twice daily; I started taking L. Salivarius several days before my ‘big flush;’ The liquid chlorella as a colema additive (per Jensen). In general, I learned controlling reactions is individual and requires trial/error. So, while coffee enemas work for some people, they didn’t for me. Sometimes zapping fixed the reactions right away, only to return later. I suspect this is because bowel toxicity continued seeping into my body after zapping. So I’d have to zap again. At first, I worried about the frequent sore spots in my abdomen. They didn’t hurt much, but I knew an obstruction could lead to a serious infection. So — how to tell if it was a real problem? I didn’t want to see my doctor. I’d been through the medical mill for years. I knew most docs had no experience with this and may even try to discourage me. (When I told my doctor about my successful parasite treatment, he looked at me like a space alien just landed in his office.) So I lived by Dr. Kelley’s words: no vomiting, food still passing through, and temperature below 100° F. (Though I note Bonnie suggests up to 104° F. is OK).

As you can see, I didn’t just dive into it. Before the ‘intense’ cleansing, I learned how to do a thorough colema and set it up quickly. I had tamed enough of the cleansing reactions and had ways to deal with them. And the rest is . . . down the toilet!

Cheers, DR
