Colonics, the nays

[Chris Stiles]

I specifically asked to hear about Holly's health experiences, and a
"quackwatch" debate broke out.  I asked her for the info, and I would appreciate
it if everyone would allow her to disseminate it without the need  for her to
defend her every word.

I assure you that I am an intelligent woman capable of making my own decisions
and doing my own research on what Holly has to say--no need to debate on my
account.  So, please, Holly explain the colonics process to me.  If I've missed
the email on the actual description of the process, then repost.   Thanks.
