Treating ADHD With Colonic Irrigation

What do you think the odds are that someone somewhere on the internet has made a claim that they can treat AD(H)D with colonic irrigation? It is a non-medication, "natural" treatment, after all...

Re: Treating ADHD With Colonic Irrigation

Since it's me, you can assume that. But would you be surprised if someone indeed started a thread praising the benefits of colonic irrigation? I wouldn't.
Hopefully some one will read the title and go no further. "Dude you can treat ADHD with colonic irrigation!"

Re: Treating ADHD With Colonic Irrigation

There's really only one reason to do that, and it has nothing to do with the brain.

belly sore from laughing at that ~sarahsweets!

me thinks this "filtering down" process is the source of the idea of colonics as ADHD treatment!

Oh yes indeed, in some circles adhd means you're full of crap.

I heard after you have this done you want to go slap your mom for the stuff she fed you thirty years ago.

I've had colonic irrigation for two days now, lots of beer and hot sauce can do that.
