You need a script for that stuff… Unless someone knows different and can tell me where it’s available!!

I haven’t read the whole thread – but I was looking for someone a few months ago and got in contact with most places in Canberra that would do colonics. Unfortunately there is NO ONE here who does colonics. Have to travel to Sydney for it.

Bunnings sell hoses and tap fittings.

What else do you need?

LOL! I’m sorry but having fun with this thread would be just too easy. I’m going have to abstain…

What a pain in the a**.

Seriously, though, get yourself into raw wheat bran and oat bran on your raw rolled oats for brekky, and drink lots of water. You’ll get a colonic tsunami.

Good old ‘detox’, its twice as effective as any other placebo label.

Here, have a medical journal. Be warned, it contains such vile heresies as science, indepenent verification, and peer-reviewed methodology!

Title: Colonic Irrigation and the Theory of Autointoxication: A Triumph of Ignorance over Science
Source: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology. 24(4):196-198, June 1997.
Abstract: Autointoxication is an ancient theory based on the belief that intestinal waste products can poison the body and are a major contributor to many, if not all, diseases. In the 19th century, it was the ruling doctrine of medicine and led “colonic quackery” in various guises. By the turn of the century, it had received some apparent backing from science. When it became clear that the scientific rationale was wrong and colonic irrigation was not merely useless but potentially dangerous, it was exposed as quackery and subsequently went into a decline. Today we are witnessing a resurgence of colonic irrigation based on little less than the old bogus claims and the impressive power of vested interests. Even today’s experts on colonic irrigation can only provide theories and anecdotes in its support. It seems, therefore, that ignorance is celebrating a triumph over science.

Just eat a whole box of All Bran. Failing that, get your hands on that stuff they give people before a colonoscopy (will have your buttocks married to the toilet for half a day as your entire digestive system empties).

If you find your self up to it, try some of the local chemist, they have a “do it your self” kit.

barking toad – a willing assistant!?!?!? 😮

well, I guess it could have been for medical reasons, like bd84’s Dad, or some other reason I’m not getting into that could be provided at Fyshwick….but as part of a health regime/detox I am undertaking I was hoping to have a, ahem, thorough cleansing.

does anyone know of anywhere that does it as a health treatment?

Out of interest, what condition do you intend to use this method to treat?

Bunnings sell hoses and tap fittings.

What else do you need?

toilet humour? lol..

My father had some colonic treatment recently, try John James hospital. I do believe the doctor that performed the procedure actually resides in Victoria.

I like the fact that you had to state “anywhere that does it as a health treatment”. Surely it can’t be done for any other reason! ;O)

There’s a joke in there about plenty of places in Fyshwick that do that sort of thing, try calling ACT Health, they seem to be across things…

I’m sure there are places in Fyshwick that’ll do it for a price.

Colonic irrigation gives me the sh*ts.

ugh. hope nothing bursts. sorry can’t help 🙂 perhaps ring around some of the cosmetic surgery places around manuka? they’re probably be most likely to offer it

lol – cheers for trying anyway Ed!
