Colonic Cleansing…Who Knew Elimination Could Be So Good!
At first when I decided to get colonics I was very nervous.
I had an automobile accident when I was 18-years old. In that accident I suffered several injuries including: multiple bone fractures, lacerations to my stomach, left lung and diaphragm, spleen and my colon.
And, for the last 17-years I have suffered from residual ailments as a result of my trauma injuries and surgeries. Silently, I suffered digestive problems for years with no knowledge of a treatment to help aid my symptoms.
Symptoms I experienced were:
• Constipation
• Abdominal pain after eating
• Bloating
• Gas
• Inability to digest meat, dairy, or yeast
My weight would fluctuate from 5-7 pounds depending on what I ate that day.
Then, I soon realized it was my diet that was causing my digestive system to be out of whack.
Once I started to discover what was causing my Irritable Bowel Symptoms through the process of elimination, I soon discovered that my symptoms were due to a lack of intestinal enzymes needed to process certain foods properly; as a result to my previous traumas and lifestyle stresses.
My food sensitivity started with dairy and bread and ended with meats such as beef and pork. Therefore, I removed them from my grocery list.
However, when I dined out at some of Atlanta’s finest restaurants, my symptoms would reoccur.
In this society it is hard to eliminate all dairy, bread, and meat from some of our favorite meals. Even if they are not a part of our main entrée; at least one of the three are an ingredient used to make our dishes.
Therefore, I started to detox heavily, to eliminate everything I ate before it would cause digestive problems and make for a miserable evening.
Eventually, I started to suffer from anemia and exhaustion because I was eliminating the good with the bad.
One day I ran into this lady by the name of La Tanya Young who held my attention. Not only because her name is similar to mine (Tonya), but because she seemed knowledgeable in her line of work as a Physician’s Assistant (PA). La Tanya Young owns Sol Sanctuary Holistic Detoxification Center in Roswell, Georgia.
Needless to say, I scheduled an appointment with Ms. Young and was completely impressed by her services. Ms. Young greeted me at the door with a big smile. She sat me down and comforted me that my experience would not only be painless, but also relaxing.
She showed me around her facility. Then she escorted me to a room with a massage table and a dry sauna. I was instructed to lie down in supine position on a BioMat table and relax while the heat soothed my muscles and increased my circulation, allowing a more peaceful elimination.
After taking a quick nap on the BioMat for approximately 15-minutes, I was ready for action. La Tanya escorted me to the colonic table.
As I entered the room I saw a big beige plastic table with an open compartment that looked like a sink with an attaching hose.
But as I inched closer to the devise, I noticed that it was more like a birthing table with mantles for leg placement on each side of the table and a rectangular hole used as an elimination bowl with a thin hose attached (somewhat similar to a toilet with no sitting water).
It was then I was told that the process would be self-administered from this point forth. Boy was I relieved to know that she was not taking away one of the most personal experiences of my existence!
Ms. Young instructed me to:
1. Undress from the waist down.
2. Get on the table and cover-up with the disposable sheet.
3. Put on plastic gloves and lubricate the area of insertion.
4. Insert the tube (smaller than a pencil’s width) only 2-inches into my rear. (The tube is slightly curved upward for comfort, and to leave room for waste to eliminate without obstruction).
Once the process was done I pressed the button for farther instructions.
Next, she entered the room and turned the water on.
The saline water entered the inserted tube slowly. It was very warm and soothing; and the flow was non- disruptive to my sphincter muscles.
Within minutes I could feel my intestines filling with water and it was all downhill from that point forth.
The experience was more relaxing than a self-induced BM, because the warm water made the entire process slow, painless, and effortless.
I chose to watch the clear tubes as the waste traveled from my body through this long clear pipe which led to a toilet devise that Ms. Young came in to flush occasionally, as she re-heated the pillow she had placed on my stomach to help things loosen even more.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
Afterwards she escorted me to the sauna where I released even more toxins by sweating for 30-minutes.
The last step was the consultation in which we discussed my diet and she gave me future tips on detoxing at home, eating better for my body type, and aftercare tips for the next 48 hours.
I left Sol Sanctuary feeling refreshed and rejuvenated...AND about 10-pounds lighter!

"The Five Scariest Things You Can Do This Halloween"
By Doug Phillips
Our country is in the grip of a fear crisis. The tension because of this fear is almost palpable. There is fear over elections, fear over the economy, and fear over hundreds of other issues ranging from the environment to terrorism.
The one fear that America is missing is a fear of the Lord. As a people, we no longer fear God. Because we do not fear God, we no longer hate evil (Proverbs 8:13).
Instead of hating evil, Americans toy with it. We toy with holidays like Halloween that were conceived in evil and that promote the “cute-ification” of evil, whether that evil takes the form of witchcraft, sorcery, ghoulishness, or some other form of malevolent imagery paraded before our children. We laugh at the very things that the Lord describes as “abominations,” and we find ourselves obsessively fascinated by, and attracted to, all things dark.
Yet we do not fear the Lord.
Those who “hate evil” are very scary to a secular society that fears man more than God. They are scary because they dare to declare that there are absolute standards by which society must be governed. They are scary because, if they are successful, industries like Hollywood that make billions of dollars by promoting ungodly fear will lose their influence. They are scary because such people will not be swayed by political candidates who use fear as a tool for manipulation.
With this in mind, I offer you the five “scariest” things you can do this Halloween:
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. (Proverbs 8:13)

They are scary because, if they are successful, industries like Hollywood that make billions of dollars by promoting ungodly fear will lose their influence. They are scary because such people will not be swayed by political candidates who use fear as a tool for manipulation.
With this in mind, I offer you the five “scariest” things you can do this Halloween:
- The scariest thing you can do this Halloween is to not make light of evil. Halloween was conceived in evil and has remained a celebration that uses children to promote a fascination with darkness and superstitious fear. Simultaneously, it makes light of things that the Bible describes as evil. Stand against such things, and the world will find you very scary indeed. The fear of the Lord makes men turn from evil (Proverbs 16:6).
- The scariest thing you can do this Halloween is to not be fearful. The media wants you to be afraid of everything from overpopulation to global warming. The politicians want you to be afraid of the economy and political instability. God wants you to do what is morally right, trust Him completely, and never be gripped by an ungodly spirit of fear. You can place your trust and hope for this nation in the King of Kings. Jesus said: “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him” (Luke 12:4-5). Believe this, and you will be light to the world.
- The scariest thing you can do this Halloween is to completely skip Halloween and remember Reformation Day. It was 493 years ago that Martin Luther nailed his world-changing 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg church. These theses included rebukes to ungodly fear and superstition. 501 years ago, sometime near October 31, a baby named John Calvin was conceived who would dedicate his life to eradicating an ungodly fear of superstitious beliefs and proclaiming the gospel of grace. His emphasis on reformation, revival, and the sufficiency of Scripture had such far-reaching implications for nations like the United States that he has been described by Christian and secular scholars alike as the true founding father of America. The Reformers did something that was very scary to the world of their day. They stood against all forms of dark superstitions which grip the minds and souls of men. It was their emphasis on the fear of the Lord and the wisdom of Holy Scripture that was used by God to liberate untold numbers of men and women. But to remember the Reformers instead of Halloween is very scary to the world. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10).
- The scariest thing you can do this Halloween is to refuse to watch or allow your children to watch any of the toxic Halloween and horror films emerging from Hollywood. America’s fascination with ungodly fear has made horror the most popular and fastest-growing film genre amoung youth. When parents allow their children to toy with this genre, they promote ungodly fear, and they contribute to the fear-factories in Hollywood that prey upon the youth of our culture. Say “no” to Hollywood horror and you will be dangerously scary to the media elite. “Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence....?” (Jeremiah 5:22).
- The scariest thing you can do this Halloween is to get on your knees as a mother and father and pray that the Lord will send you many, children who will fear God, not man — children who will especially shun the glorification of witchcraft, the bondage of ungodly fear, and the “cute-ification” of evil that is promoted through holidays like Halloween. Cultures that toy with evil end up being cultures of death. The Christian response is to be a people of life. That means babies. It means fearing God by honoring His command to “be fruitful and multiply.” It means remembering that the Scripture describes children as a “blessing” and a “reward.” Raise children that fear God more than man, and that will be answer enough to our Halloween- and darkness-obsessed culture; for if you trust God over your womb and commit your children to a holy education, you will be very scary to the modern world. “Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord” (Psalm 34:11).
