FH, if you'll click on that link and go down towards the bottom of the page you'll see they are testing this rain water from chemtrails and its TOXIC with barium........ wonder how many folks are now affected by asthma, heart trouble and perhaps cancer because of this? and who knows what else as these metals affect the immune system...... a compromised immune system makes you more susceptible to diseases even cancer.
While God is in control of my life, our country has just about become a nation without God instead of a nation under God. Don't think for one moment that God won't chastize this country for turning away from him.
I don't believe that Barium is toxic, at some time you may even find it in your ass.
Barium enema
Barium enema (colon X-ray) is used to detect changes or abnormalities in your colon. It should be considered if colonoscopy can't be performed. During the exam, liquid barium — and, in some cases, air — is inserted into your colon through your rectum. These steps improve the view of your colon by an X-ray machine.
How do you prepare?
Before the exam, you'll need to completely clean out (empty) your colon. You may be told to take laxatives and possibly have an enema before the exam. Your doctor will provide specific instructions about what to eat or drink before the test. Sometimes you'll need to consume a clear liquid diet for a day or two before the barium enema. Clear liquids include:
Plain water
Tea and coffee without milk or cream
Any juice without pulp — no orange juice or tomato juice
Broth
Carbonated beverages

Barium enema
There are two types of barium enemas: single-column and air-contrast (double-contrast). The double-contrast barium enema is the better of the two for colon cancer screening.
Single-column barium enema. During this test, you lie on your side on an X-ray machine table. A lubricated enema tube is inserted into your rectum. The radiologist connects a barium bag to the tube to deliver liquid barium into your colon.
Barium is a safe, soft, metallic alkaline chemical. The barium temporarily coats the lining of your colon. This provides a clear silhouette of the shape and condition of the inner lining of your colon on X-rays.The tube that's used to deliver the barium has a small balloon near its tip. When positioned at the entrance of your rectum, this balloon helps keep the barium from coming back out. As your colon fills with barium, you may feel the urge to have a bowel movement. Taking long, deep breaths may help you relax during the procedure.
You may be asked to turn and hold various positions on the examination table. This helps ensure that your entire colon is coated with barium and allows the radiologist to view the colon from various angles. The radiologist may press firmly on your abdomen and pelvis, manipulating your colon for better viewing. You may also be asked to hold your breath at times.
The radiologist can view your colon's shape on a television monitor attached to the X-ray machine. A number of X-rays of your colon will be taken from various angles.
Air-contrast (double-contrast) barium enema. This procedure is similar to a single-column barium enema. The main difference is that besides the addition of barium to your colon, air is also inserted to expand the colon and improve the quality of images. The air-contrast method may increase the radiologist's ability to see small abnormalities, including small polyps.
A barium enema exam usually takes from 10 to 30 minutes, sometimes longer. Either procedure may cause some minor abdominal cramping. Cramping usually ends soon after the test ends.
After the procedure
After the exam, the radiologist removes the enema tip to allow you to expel much of the barium from your colon.
The color of the barium will likely cause you to produce white, gray or pink stools during the next few days as it's expelled from your colon. You may be given a cleansing enema or be instructed to take a laxative to remove the remaining barium. Because barium may cause constipation, you'll be advised to drink extra liquids during the next few days.
Check with your doctor if your stool isn't normal colored within a few days. Also contact your doctor promptly if you're unable to have a bowel movement or pass gas more than two days after the exam. This may indicate that you haven't passed all of the barium out of your colon.
Results
The type of follow-up scheduled by your doctor will depend on your test results.
Negative test results. The barium enema test is considered negative if the radiologist didn't find any abnormalities in your colon. If you're at average risk of colon cancer, you can probably wait five years before repeating the exam. After filling the colon with barium, the radiologist can view a clear silhouette of its shape and condition.

Positive test results. If your barium enema test was positive, you may have an abnormality in your colon that requires further attention. Depending on the findings, you may need additional testing, such as a colonoscopy, so that any abnormalities can be examined more thoroughly, biopsied or removed.
Ask your doctor if it was a good-quality exam. If your colon wasn't completely empty of stool before the examination, parts of the colon may have been obscured on the X-ray. In this case, abnormalities may not have been seen. Your doctor may recommend having another barium enema in a year's time or sooner. Many doctors recommend a flexible sigmoidoscopy in addition to a barium enema to provide an even better view of the rectum and sigmoid colon.
