If you’re feeling constipated, bloated, gassy, or just generally unhealthy, colonic hydrotherapy might do you well. “The benefits are really innumberable,” says Tara Alder of the Alder Brooke Healing Arts Center. During a session, Alder uses an inflow tube to control a trickle of warm, purified water that flushes the colon, loosening matter and allowing it to exit the body via an outflow tube. “I’ve seen pounds of old fecal matter within an hour session,” says Alder. While benefits are purportedly far-reaching — relief from allergies, anxiety, indiges- tion, obesity — colonics are not for everyone. Alder will not treat anyone undergoing radiation treatment for cancer, recovering from bowel surgery, or suffering acute ulcer- ative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Alder can be reached at 683-7894. Also practicing colonic hydrotherapy in Eugene is Laura Taylor at Sunrise Colonics (484-6224.)

Perhaps more surprisingly, the same goes for a quarter of all American children. Heather Nic an Fhleisdeir, local health consultant and herbalist with Mrs. Thompson’s Herbs, says, “Addressing a childhood weight issue needs a delicate touch to avoid pos- sible future obsession regarding weight.” Fhleisdeir counsels good regular play and exercise, as well as a diet of whole foods free of additives, preservatives and hormones. Food refinement and additives can wreak havoc with body chemistry, especially early on with children. To help decrease fat deposits and levels of fat in blood, as well as assisting a healthy metabolism, Fhleisdeir suggests this herbal formula, safe for anyone older than six months: Mix 1 cup rosehips, 1/2 a cup fennel seeds and 1/2 a cup of dandelion root (organic ingredients are best here) in a quart jar. Cover with boiling water and steep overnight. Strain and refrigerate. Liquid can be reheated or served cold. — Bobbie Willis Over Eating New to the video/DVD counter at Star Gate Books is the info-mentary Eating. Narrator Michael Anderson realized all of his family members were dying from compli- cations related to a “healthy” diet, and decided to look at how eating, or rather overeat- ing animal proteins, is killing Americans today. With the ever-growing popularity of programs like the Atkins diet, seeing what com- mercially produced animal fat and protein does inside of you is a true eye-opener.
