The Festival Poo
Talk about pooping at music festivals has come up a lot this past week. I guess it’s getting to be that time of year. One of my favorite clients just returned from the Envision Festival in Costa Rica. I’d like to think I can hang with dirty hippies, but everything about this festival looks like…

SuperBowl Bullshit
AstraZenica pulled some shit during this year’s SuperBowl. I hate to admit I love their new commercial, which brilliantly conveys the reality of bathroom envy, and it would have been a lot more kosher had it been advertising a natural remedy (ehem, colonics), but the commercial is advertising a pill to cure your painkiller-related constipation woes. Essentially,…

A Rededication
One of my most loyal and dedicated clients always stresses the importance of maintaining a gratitude journal. I don’t like to waste paper, but rest assured, I keep a mental log (pun? yes.) I am forever grateful to my parents and the opportunity they have afforded me in this country. Both of my parents come from humble…

Monsters Inside Me Season Premiere!
No, I don’t get excited for Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Mad Men, Homeland, Modern Family, House of Cards, or vampire shit… I do however, get excited for the Real Housewives, Shark Tank, anything on ID network AND most of all…… You may think I just have bad taste in television programming, but I…

He would tell me that the Fall is the season for colon cleansing! It had something to do with the change of seasons and…

Parasites!

You will learn first-hand about rare cases of parasite infestations that many times result in neurological disorders and even death. Many of the…

A Load of Crap.
I’ve been watching a lot of TV lately. Don’t ask me what, but the recurring commercials on my favorite channels are for vaginal mesh class action suits and those for prescription acne medication, Onexton and prescription irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) medication, Linzess. Pharmaceutical commercials are my favorite, especially the part where they whisper all of the side effects like the fine print…

Ringworm is Dead!
So it turns out I just had an eczema rash on my arm coincidentally where my ringworm was years ago. I had started using Athlete’s Foot cream on my rash because Athlete’s Foot, Ringworm and Groin Itch are all the same shit. Eczema is undoubtedly an internal issue and while the rash was brought on…

Castor Oil Pack
I’ve had a bottle of cold pressed Castor Oil sitting in my “medicine” cabinet for literally years now. Clients have told me all about how to use castor oil to alleviate upset stomachs and to encourage bowel movement. It really wasn’t until I did the liver flush that I became motivated enough to go through…
