Synopsis

Always Look After Number Two! Discover the Secrets of Colonic Irrigation, Perfect Bowel Movements and Digestive Health, is the second edition of this comprehensive guide to colon hydrotherapy and bowel management which was first published in 2006. Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, has become even more popular in the last two years. The first edition of Galina Imrie's book has helped thousands of women and men to gain better understanding and control of their digestive system, and reduce or totally eliminate chronic digestive complaints digestive complaints including constipation, diarrhoea, IBS or bloating. This is a self-help book, which focuses on health, beauty and personal development by making sure that your body s elimination system is doing its job right. The book goes beyond colonic irrigation. It helps the reader to understand how the number twos are formed and what slight imperfections in your bowel movements might possibly mean. There is no other book describing poos to the general public, ND alerting the reader to the warning signs of bowel mismanagement that could be the first symptoms of dangerous conditions, including bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the Western world, and 'Number Two' should help more people take steps to it by re-connecting with their bodies and understanding the first signs of danger. 'Number Two' also focuses on the connection between the bowel and the brain. The bowel is now often described as the "second brain". It is only now coming to light that it is the bowel, rather than the brain, that is responsible for quite a few emotional decisions that we make on a daily basis. For example, the bowel manufactures 95% of serotonin, our mood regulator. This book also speaks of the interesting and intimate connection between the bowel and human emotions - a well known phenomenon in any science that works with people. Naturopathically, we have always tried to clear the emotions to free the bowel. Galina's approach of clearing the bowels to free the emotions shows her sensitive insight into what she refers to as 'the language of the bowel', says leading Australian naturopath Lara Coleman ND, BSc. Although it is a very serious subject, the book is written in a light-hearted way, with lots of cartoons, tables and charts to make sure it can reach the widest possible audience. The new edition of Always Look after Number Tow also contains a completely new chapter, The Boot Camp for Number Twos , where easy and achievable protocols are included for managing constipation, diarrhoea, gas, flatulence, belching, bloating, IBS, Candida and parasites.

About this title

About the Author

After receiving her MA in Education in 1981 from Maurice Thorez University where she specialised in advanced learning technologies, Galina went on to become an educational reviewer, journalist, interpreter and teacher. She continued writing practical learning guides, as well as teaching CPD courses for teachers and lecturing. After moving to the UK in 1989, Galina worked for the BBC World Service and later spent some time in the City s legal and banking sector. In mid-90s Galina realised she wanted to go back to education. As health promotion has always been her great interest and passion, Galina took a sabbatical to do an intensive diploma course in Sports Therapy and Health and Fitness Studies, followed later by Nutrition, Iridology, Colon Hydrotherapy, Live blood Microscopy and Facial Diagnosis. Galina now divides her time between teaching colon hydrotherapy and other holistic modalities internationally and at her school, the Chi Centre in Maidenhead, Berkshire (www.colonicschool.net), supporting her current and former students, writing a new book and treating and mentoring clients in Wellbeing Now.

From the Back Cover

I thank Galina for her extensive research on this subject and for sharing her wisdom and experience with patients, sceptics and fellow practitioners. She should be commended for bringing 'the poo', that has been a 'taboo' subject in many healing circles, both medical and natural, into the mainstream. Now everybody can have a thorough understanding of the positive benefits colonic irrigation can bring to their health. Reading this book has given me renewed passion for the healing arts and has confirmed my faith in the human body, reminding me that, no matter what the 21st century throws at us, there is always a path back to abundant health. More often than not it is as simple as 'looking after number two'.

From the Inside Flap

The Health Benefits Of Colonics Are Just Too Good To Keep Quiet About
I sat down to read "Number Two" and realised that this is probably the most complete book on colonic irrigation in combination with simple and sensible nutritional advice ever to be published.
This book speaks to the health conscious and the curious, to the practitioner, the health professional and the patient. Within these pages, there is something to inspire anyone who has ever contemplated feeling healthier, happier and living a more energetic life.
As a naturopathic therapist I have dealt with the health of digestive systems and bowels for over ten years now. However, reading this book has reminded me yet again of the infinite wisdom of the human body. Galina has an easy, humorous and entertaining way of explaining human digestion and elimination, what can and does go wrong with it, and what can be done to make it all right again.
Naturopathic philosophy sees a healthy, functioning digestive system as the foundation of good health. This has always been the focal point of any treatment a naturopath will provide. In the modern world, where many of us are taking copious amounts of supplements and tonics, buying organic food and avoiding chemicals wherever we can, this book reminds us that it is the simple things, such as the body being able to eliminate daily wastes, that contribute hugely to our health and wellness.
In Sydney, Australia, I work with many practitioners and medical doctors that have found detoxification programs to be incredibly effective for their patients. When the gut and liver are working well and in harmony to eliminate wastes from the body, many otherwise 'untreatable' health conditions will disappear or be alleviated.
In the traditional naturopathic treatment this detoxification process has always been achieved through the use of dietary changes, herbal medicines and nutritional supplementation. In my experience, colonic irrigation treatments at certain stages of the detoxification process produce phenomenal results: programmes that may have taken two to six months can be achieved in as little as six weeks with the addition of colonics. Patients report immediate results that keep them motivated and have them feeling fantastic and energised throughout the process. This supports Galina's observations that, in her experience, most people can achieve a higher level of health very quickly.
In her book Galina also provides sound and sensible advice on how to keep your body at its optimum level of health. She discusses the main elements of healthy living in everybody's life. Galina is living proof of the benefits of her knowledge and experience. The astounding success of her training school and treatment centre is testament to the number of people she has helped, and to the number of people whose health has improved so dramatically that they are not too embarrassed to tell their friends, families and colleagues to `go for a colonic': the health benefits are just too good to keep quiet about!
