Colonic Board and Matching bucket
I wanted to get on here and write a full review because I was scared to death of this thing and had buyers remorse the second after I hit "Submit order". I couldn't have been any more wrong in my life. I started reading the reviews and I will speak for myself. I thought the site said I would be emailed the directions once the order was placed. I wasn't so I contacted the seller (Raw Diet) and they wrote back immediately saying the instructions come in the box. Well I got the box today, used the board and bucket today. Here is what happened. First of all I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and I am 133 pounds (before doing this thing) The board was light. I can not say how light because I did not weigh it but if I had to guess I would say about 10 pounds. I had no issues at all lifting it what so ever. The bucket was even lighter. I made a few mistakes so I am going to cover them as well. Before I read the instructions I pulled the sleeve off the tube (I don't know why I did- but I did) It was a B!T@# to get back on, so don't do that. Secondly, My bathroom is not small and I had no problem with space. But if you have a small bathroom this may be an issue. Measure before you buy it. I used this vanity stool to put under the board and CLEARLY on the instructions it says use a chair a few inches higher then your commode. Well... That is for very good reason. Gravity is your friend when you are doing this. To lay flat means nothing moves in a natural motion (Down to the toilet) Once I got going, I felt water on my lower back. I immediately started gagging even though it was only water I had no idea what "it " was at that point and just the thought made me sick. Since it was my bathroom I had bath towels handy and I rolled four up and leaned to rectify this issue. I will definitely use a taller chair next time. I filled the blue bucket up, and used only half the water because that was 45 minutes for me. I have had a professional colonic many times and it lasts about that long. So I knew what to expect. Even if there were not instructions this was possibly the easiest thing to figure out. Its one tube for Gods sake. Two ends of the tube.... its not rocket science at all. So reading the bad review that there were no instructions panicked me (seriously) and then I got it, DUH!
Fill the water bucket with 98-99 degree water so you do not shock your system. Hook one end of the tube to the water bucket, stick the tube through the hole in the curved part of the board and then attach the plastic thingy (that is the medical term) to it and add lubrication to it and you are good to go. I got myself familiar with the water shut off plastic clip before I put water in it so I wouldn't have any weird mishaps. Worse then water being on my back :) I did do several courtesy flushes for myself because I am cool like that. When I was done, I jumped in the shower and cleaned it all up with bleach. Then I weighed myself. 128 HA. I did not buy it to loose weight at all. I bought it because my Mom just died of Liver cancer and I read more then I should ever have had too about how to prevent it. I am trying to stay on top of the health game that's all. I hope this helps.
