WOW, you are consuming bentonite clay???? I am a geologist and all i use bentonite clay for is sealing boreholes....its a highly swelling (or shrinking clay) dependant on the whether its absorbing or loosing water. EATING IT! we have a yard of pellets if you want it.... (PS i did just read a website about the colonic benefits...but...naaa...i will stick to putting it down boreholes)

Hi MrsPacioli, Thanks for your feedback. I also want to do a detox in April/May and I've narrowed it down to either The Sanctuary or the The Spa Resorts in either Chiang Mai or Koh Samui, still unsure which one to choose. I'm glad to hear your positive feedback on Chiang Mai, I checked out Tripadvisor and the reviews were nothing short of awful. Most people complained that the staff didn't speak English, they called the owner "creepy" and very unpleasant, rooms dated, spa overpriced, badyl managed, etc. Did you find any of this true at all? Put me off to tell you the truth. Would be happy to get more details. If you don't want to write on the board, could you please email me at [email protected] Would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Ladies, Just wanting to post my feedback regarding my stay at The Spa Resorts in Chiang Mai (as pomised). I opted for the 7 day cleanse and completed the program succesfully with the following benefits: - I lost 4.55 kgs (10 pounds) over the 7 day I did the fast/ detox. - My skin looks healthier (slight glow) - I feel more energetic and less bloated This was my first time doing a detox and I must say that it was slightly easier than I thought. I had to get used to the self-administered colemas, but after 2 days it was pretty easy to do. However by Day 4, I was 'deseprate' to have something tasty to chew on. Mind you, I did not feel hungry any day, but I did miss having something to chew and tasting something other than the juices they give you. Now that I have been there, I can also recommend The Spa Resorts in Chiang Mai. The place is simple, clean and the stafff is very friendly. There are complimentary guided meditation classes each morning in one of the most breathtaking environments (the image you see on the [url=http://www.thesparesorts.net '>homepage[/url'>of their website is the location I am talking about) and many additional services such as Aryuvedic Consultations, Aryuvedic massage, spa treatments (thai massage, facials, etc) and steam room facilities. The place also has 2 pools an two o three areas for meditation and yoga. Pricewise it is extremely cheap. All in all, a good experience. Mrs. Pacioli <em>edited by MrsPacioli on 21/01/2011</em>

Hi Ladies, After doing lots of research and reading all the recommendations on here (in all the different threads covering this topic), I have decided to go to The Spa Resorts (Chiang Mai) and do their 7 days cleanse. I will report back and let you all know what my experience was like. Here's to a healthy new year! Thanks ladies, for sharing. I have come accross a lot of great stuff by being part of this community. Thanks! BTW, leaving this thursday! :) Mrs. Pacioli
