1. Super Bowel Sunday
===========================

A great alternative to hanging out and watching the Super Bowl
game - especially if you have no idea or interest in it - is
making Sunday a day of self-care centered around another bowl -
in the bathroom!

A private colon cleansing session in your bathroom can be a Super
Day for your Bowel especially if your lower intestines have been
a bit sluggish and aren't emptying comfortably enough for you,
or if you are feeling toxic and need a cleansing.

There is a difference between a nutritional cleanse and a
mechanical cleanse.

Nutritional cleansing is where you would take supplements or
ingest something to cleanse.

Mechanical colon cleansing is where you literally wash out the
colon with water, soapy water, or a therapeutic variation (some
people use salts/baking soda/essential oils in their water).

I'm going to briefly give you some tips on doing this in your
bathroom by yourself - without having to buy any special
equipment worth hundreds of dollars (like a colema board or a
colonic machine).

As a nurse and certified colon therapist and a long time
proponent of colon cleansing for health and beauty, I believe
everyone needs to have an understanding of this option for self
care, especially women.

I think that colon cleansing helps prevent breast cancer. This is
just my hunch, but its a strong one. I often wonder how many
women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have a history of
constipation. I don't think there are any studies on this - but
if any of you know of any please let me know. This is a huge
interest of mine - but that is all for another article.

Anyway. . . .

These tips can answer many questions that you may have
if you have considered cleansing at home.

This is not a step by step instructional. It's just
information to get you started either thinking about it,
trying it for yourself, or learning more.

Colon cleansing with water has been done for eons. The Essenes
did it with river water and the Egyptians with herbal
concoctions.

Many of you reading this probably had a grandmother or great
grandmother who used enemas as a way to heal the body
of sickness.

The holistic approach to a home enema for a general colon
cleanse is not about going to the pharmacy and buying a
Fleets pre-mixed liquid in a disposable container and
using that (as in preps for medical procedures - although
it does cleanse).

The home enema for a general cleansing is about using distilled
water at room or body temperature with your own personal
(reusable) equipment.

The equipment that I recommend runs under $20 and can be
purchased at many local drug stores. It would be a kit
consisting of a red hot water bottle and tubing and a few
different nozzles, one of which is an enema nozzle tip.

You can warm up a gallon of distilled water by submerging
the closed bottle in the bathtub full of hot water for a short
time. You would want to get it to be even with your
body temperature.

You would not use sink water because it has chlorine and that
would kill the good flora.

Yes, the flora will be slightly affected with a gentle enema
but if you are using water or even gentle soapy water it
won't be that disruptive.

Many colon therapists will open an acidophilus capsule and put
it in the final rinse water with your colonic - and you could
do the same with your enema.

Think of this as an internal bath where you are just rinsing out
the lower colon. The benefits are amazing - such as a fresh
taste in your mouth, the whites of your eyes get brighter, your
skin feels softer, you can breathe easier - and this is only a
few things of what can happen, even after one little cleanse!

If you want to learn more about this I suggest Bernard Jensen's
book Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management.

2. Essential Oil Tip: Belly Button as Oil Holder
================================================

I'm just having too much fun here.

I couldn't stop laughing when I wrote this tip
but can I tell you this is one of the best tips
that you can use - especially if you are balancing
the digestive system!

If you are a massage therapist - you might already
be doing this!

And if you are a mom, this is a great way for getting
oils on your child's belly - most kids love when you
play with their belly button!

And the best essential oil for balancing the digestive
system?

Of course! Young Living's Di-Gize!

3. Success Quote: Oprah Winfrey
==================================

"Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that
this very moment is the only one you know you
have for sure."

Oprah Winfrey


================================================
4. Recipe of the Week: Athlete's Super Fuel Juice
================================================

Juicing or a light food intake is important when
you are colon cleansing.

Here is an "Athlete's Super Fuel Juice" to satisfy
the Super Bowl and Super Bowel experience!

1/2 watermelon
1 lemon
5 oranges
1 can frozen pineapple concentrate (no sugar!)

Juice your fruit and let the pineapple concentrate melt in the
juices and enjoy!

(I would suggest adding some Ningxia Red for some
real KICK!)

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

The Alternative "Super Bowl"

During the Super Bowl, there was another football game of note
between the big animals and the little animals.

The big animals were crushing little animals and at half-time,
the coach made a passionate speech to rally the little animals.

At the start of the second half the big animals had the ball.

The first play, the elephant got stopped for no gain.
The second play, the rhino was stopped for no gain.
On third down, the hippo was thrown for a 5 yard loss.

The defense huddled around the coach and he asked excitedly,
"Who stopped the elephant?"
"I did," said the centipede.

"Who stopped the rhino?"
"Uh, that was me too," said the centipede.

"And how about the hippo? Who hit him for a 5 yard loss?"
"Well, that was me as well," said the centipede.

"So where were you during the first half?" demanded the coach.
"Well," said the centipede, "I was having my ankles taped."
