Fasted and Flushed Colon for 8 days in Koh Samui

That's possible but it's been about 3 weeks since I fasted/flushed. Also, I already consume a huge amount of caffeine via iced tea (no sugar). But who knows for sure.
However, fasting does seem to have a positive effect on brain function.

how can a professional marketer fail to see the hype behind "alternative medicine"?
the most valuable commodity on earth is hope, and every alternative medical treatment whether acute or prophylactic carries that as it's payload.

Yeah, right. I'm sure you've heard of the medical cartel called the American Medical Association. You know, the association that limits the number of medical schools in the country to limit competition.
Most doctors take about 1 unit of nutrition education. The alternative medicine guys were about 10+ years ahead of the curve on the dangers of high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. I ditched those back in the early 90's before most people had a clue about them.
But this is America, so if you want to remain full of shit, it's your God-given right.
You're welcome. When I was there, there was a broad from the UK who said the flushing didn't work for her because of the caffeine. She was an insomniac. She was just there for the fasting.
It's a nice place to fast. You're right on the beach and everyone around you is fasting, too. They make the drinks for you, so it's effortless. Just remember to take your drinks and herbal pills. The wi-fi they have is pretty fast, so you can get some work done, too.

I'm the first to admit that the medical establishment is a racket.
That being said, if they could profit off of something like this and it didn't have the potential to cause serious problems, I think they'd be doing exactly that. So why aren't they?
Ok, cool...just out of curiousity, don't they have other liquids than can be used for the colon cleansing? I don't really understand the whole hype behind coffee enemas.
Probably because it's 10X more profitable to force potentially lethal pills and untested drugs down the market's throat.
Just look at abilify. Sure, you could legalize weed and profit from that....or charge $200 a bottle for a depression cure that might just fucking kill you and give you 100 different side effects. It's just ridiculous.
Perhaps because there's no expensive pharmaceuticals they can sell? Plus, you can do this yourself. You don't have use a doctor. It pretty much removes them from the equation.
Most of medicine seems to be concerned with selling drugs that you need to use for a lifetime instead of actually curing health problems.
You are correct, it's much easier to spend hundreds of millions of dollars developing expensive drugs, and then waiting years for them to gain FDA approval than it is to charge $400 for a large anal coffee, no cream.
I believe the coffee stimulates peristalsis. (Not sure if that's the correct term.) Basically, it helps with expelling the crap. It makes the process more efficient.
They offer an alternative, I think garlic and lemon or something. However, they claim it's not as effective.
I spent about $900 in total, which included 10 nights accommodation, the fasting/flushing program, 1-day scooter rental, and wi-fi.
BTW, you should check this book out (The Emperor's New Drugs):

It has some eye-opening info on the FDA approval process (how many tests that show a positive results are needed, how large the positive effect has to be, etc.). The author, a professor, filed public information acts to get all of the data related to FDA approval of antidepressants.
Let's talk practicalities here. How many anal resorts could you set up and what would be their income? Keep in mind that whatever you would be making is seasonal.
First, you have to get the real estate. You can only justify charging $400 (roughly $800 from the thai website for their very tippy top service) if you're on some beach property, etc... otherwise you're going to be selling $20 pills and competing with 1000s of other marketers that would all be trying to get a piece of that delicious fudge pie.
So you drop a few million for a beach front property in the US (since this is where we will primarily be operating), to get perhaps 200-500 customers your first year. Add the costs for advertising, staff maintenance, supplies, etc... I'd say that you're not looking at a business that is significantly more profitable than your average McDonalds.
Compare that to spending hundreds of millions of dollars initially to have *a government backed monopoly* on the particular drug. This is especially true for pain medications, etc... The very cost to enter the market would be prohibitive. In exchange, you're cranking out millions of sales a month and generating billions of dollars in profit until the next generation drug comes up.
If you have $500 million, which are you going to invest in? Setting up 200+ mcdonalds for a mediocre income or researching a pill that will earn you billions down the road from middle class americans?
You should have signed for a colon cleanse rebill and saved yourself some money. I guess they don't come with scooter rentals though.
I remember reading about this spa last year. Looks pretty interesting to say the least. I heard about it when a radio show host here in LA was talking about coffee enemas. It's something you can do at home, so long as it's not hot (duh) and you can hold it in through all the cramping that you're bound to experience (from what I read).
Have any of my fellow gay webmasters ever received a colonic? Colon irrigation I think is another term for it. I have a lady friend who did it for bloating... Sounds very awkward to have a woman shoving a tube up my ass (although I'm used to men putting things in there, so go figure).

I've considered doing it at home but for the colema board setup you'd need a hook in your ceiling. That bucket is pretty heavy. I know that if I did it at home, I'd probably stop earlier than the 8 days, which is why I prefer the spa. Plus, if need some sweet suits you can get them in Bangkok on your way out.
I've been to the spa twice and never experienced cramping. As the coffee solution fills you up, you get the urge to crap and then you expel the water and repeat. The toughest part is sticking that tip in your butt. But they give you lube and it only goes in an inch or so. After that, it's easy peasy. You're lying on your back, so it's like you're resting.
