    Has anyone had a high colonic ? It's basically like a vacuum suctioning out of all the crap in the colon.

    I was surprised when I lived in South Korea that they did use human waste to fertilize the rice paddies -- a practice done for hundreds if not thousands of years. I don't think they use cremation ash for this, but I don't really know.

    Part of me intellectually likes the idea of sky burials as was done in some Native American cultures, and reportedly also in Tibet. Corpses are laid unwrapped and unembalmed up high on wooden platforms or in trees for the birds to consume.

    European countries do it too. I lived in Austria for a number of years. I also spent enough time in rural Spain to smell. I also grew up on a farm. One of the main spring tasks was to take the manure from the feed lots out to the fields. Thanks to my experience of backing the spreader into a narrow place, I have no problem backing our travel trailer into the narrow campsite. Why not use human waste?

    How nice Tony, yes all is well so far. Just got behind then the hurricane hit and lots of work.
    Summer is always bad here in Florida, bugs and heat bad combinations.
    Chiggars and tic's are bad this year,real bad.not sure what happened to all the mosquitos, maybe the chiggars and ttic;s ate em up.lol.
    I use sulfur soap, coconut oil and reem oil ,Benydryl. I tuck my pants leg in soc's but they still get me.

    I'm not sure if their the same but I do know they will eat you up. I rub thick lather sulfur soap on my ancles and legs they still get me,just not as bad. I use coconut oil too.messy but here in the woods who cares nobody sees us.:D. I am looking forward to winter and getting back into the woods. Only time I can get out now is early am because of heat.

    Neem oil stinks even the dogs don't comer near it.:rolleyes:
