The Purpose of this Booklet
This %oo(let is a %rief introduction to the intelligent and gentle use of
enemas for in-home colon cleansing' In this %oo(let, you will %e
guided to effecti&ely use this self-hel aroach to colon cleansing and
otimal health' ,ith this in mind, remem%er that none of this ad&ice

doctor' 0lease consult your doctor %efore you em%ar( on any health
rogram'
What is the Function of the Colon?
To understand the otential &alues of enemas, one must ha&e at least
an elementary understanding of the function of the colon' +ost
eole (now &ery little a%out the colon' +any of us &iew it as little
more than our %ody1s solid waste elimination tu%e2you might say a
%iological sewage ie which, wor(ing right, dums into our toilets' It
is widely thought that as long as you mo&e your %owels on a regular to
semi-regular %asis, your colon is functioning fine'
The Anatomy of the Colon:
The colon is located in the lower a%domen %etween the cecum and the
rectum' It is a%out fi&e feet long in adults' Its main arts are called
the ascending, trans&erse, descending and sigmoid colon' The cecum
and its e3tension, the aendi3, contain &ery high concentrations of
%acteria' The ascending and trans&erse sections of the colon are the
sites of re-a%sortion and secretory acti&ities' 4e-a%sortion of water
and sodium and other minerals, dehydrates the colon content' The
descending and sigmoid sections are sites of storage for fecal matter'
The sigmoid 5oins the rectum, a muscular ca&ity with the a%ility to
stimulate defecation'
The Inside Scoop:
Ideally, with the well functioning digesti&e roerties of the stomach
and small intestine, waste matter is deli&ered to the colon in amounts
and tyes that suort a %alanced intestinal ecosystem' This
ecosystem includes as many as four %illion %acteria and yeast
organisms and is (nown as our intestinal flora' Ideally, these micro%es
are resent in a state of %alance, ha&ing a sym%iotic 6mutually
%eneficial7 relationshi with their human host' "ne of their rimary
functions is to digest food matter as it mo&es through our digesti&e
tract' As our waste mo&es through our colons it diminishes while the
num%er of micro%es and their wastes increase' It is through this
rocess that the %ul( of our stool is formed' The increasing %ul( of the
stool, in turn, stimulates eristalsis--the wa&e-li(e motion of the
colonic musculature, which hels the colon to eliminate all wastes
roerly' "ur digesti&e system has e&ol&ed with these organisms' In
%alanced 8uantities, their waste roducts are not to3ic to our %odies9 in
fact, some are e&en %eneficial to us' The meta%olism and death of
some of our intestinal flora is a useful source for some &itamins such
as the B-comle3 &itamins and &itamin K'
Microes Turned Parasites:
:nfortunately, our e&olutionary a%ility to adat has not (et ace with
our life-style choices and societal tendencies' Conse8uently a &ariety
of stressful conditions ha&e undermined the %iologically %alanced
system descri%ed a%o&e' ;uch conditions include< diets dominated %y
high-car%ohydrate, highly rocessed and ac(aged, chemically laden,
low-nutrient and low fi%er foods, stressful occuations and lifestyles9
e3osure to %irth control, alcohol, anti%iotics, steroids and other drugs9
and e3osure to a wide &ariety of hysical and emotional stress, as
well as an accelerated rate of contamination and destruction of all
earthly en&ironments' In other words, your diet, en&ironment, life
style, and genetic ma(e-u determine the health of your colon' The
e3act way in which the a%o&e mentioned conditions contri%ute to a
comromised digesti&e system is %eyond the scoe of this %oo(let'
6Although, I ha&e written a%out this su%5ect and many others more
e3tensi&ely in my C= Boo(, Ten =ays to "timal Health'
htt<>>www'colonichealth'com>1$day'htm

The %rief e3lanation of what haens to the digesti&e system is that
any and all of these factors can lead to an im%alanced intestinal
ecosystem a condition (nown as dys%iosis' In this o&ergrowth state,
certain micro-organisms that e3ist in most humans normally actually
%ecome arasitic and cause disease states in the following ways<
1' "&ergrowth organisms can cause structural damage to the intestinal
mucosa there%y diminishing its a%ility to eliminate wastes and
maintain a %lood %arrier for &arious micro%ial and dietary wastes'
#' The waste roducts of many of these organisms are to3ic
6esecially when the colon %lood %arrier has %ecome eroded %y
cellular damage'7 The to3ic wastes lace an increased to3ic load on
the %ody' This in turn adds further stress to an already struggling
system' "&er-growths of certain organisms 6%acterial, fungal or yeast7
can lead to &ery serious intestinal comlications with a wide array of
symtoms which may
include< gas, %lotting, craming, ain, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea,
constiation as well as %odily ro%lems not ?o%&iously@ associated
with the colon 6heart irregularities, num%ness, tingling, 5oint and
muscle ain, fatigue, sinus and resiratory ro%lems, chemical
sensiti&ities, hormonal im%alances, headaches, &ision ro%lems, etcA7
In other words, when your colon is in a state of dys%iosis, it may not
%e your colon that feels sic( %ut rather some other art of your %ody'
-' ,hen a %ody is struggling with a to3ic colon, it is less caa%le to
com%at these o&er-growth micro%es and less a%le to re&ent their
migration to areas of the %ody which are e&en less tolerant to their
e3istence' An e3amle of this is when these organisms interfere with
the ileocecal &al&e resulting in its %eing stuc( oen' ,hen this
haens, these organisms can migrate into the small intestines where
they end u cometing with the host for nutrients' 6!or most eole
an already nutrient-oor diet ma(es this situation e&en worse'7
Common symtoms of this situation include inflammatory ro%lems
of the stomach and small intestines as well as structural ro%lems with
the sinal column'
Why !nemas?
,ell, %ecause for many of us, they wor(' There is much de%ate
a%out the effects of colon cleansing or of a colon that is chronically
sluggish and full of stool' +y rofessional e3erience is that eole
feel mar(edly %etter when they eliminate at least a foot to two feet of
well formed stool each and e&ery day' +ost of us aren1t doing this on
our own' Therefore, using water in order to healthfully stimulate the
natural contractions of the colon to e3el waste and arasitic
organisms ro&es itself to %ring a higher state of health to many
eole'
,hat follows are some theories as to why so many eole find that
they heal faster and feel %etter as a result of enemas or colon theray'
1' !nemas "educe the Microial #oad
,hen a colon is in a state of dys%iosis 6this is much more common
then you might thin(7 ta(ing an enema can dramatically reduce the
to3ic load of the o&er-growth 6arasitic7 micro-organism1s and their
waste'
$% !nemas #i&hten the '!(ternal) To(ic #oad too*
+ost of us are constantly %eing assaulted %y to3ic su%stances in our
en&ironments' In the form of disinfectants, deodoriBers, fragrances,
esticides, aints and &arnishes, her%icides, out-gassing of carets,
furniture and construction materials, the e3haust from %urning fossil
fuels, dryer sheets, industrial cleaners, etcAwe are all %eing dealt a
hea&y dose of to3ic chemicals' +ost of us ne&er realiBe this %ecause
our %odies ha&e e&ol&ed with a &ery sohisticated deto3ification
system' But, o&er the years all of us are dramatically affected %y this
daily onslaught of to3ins' Enemas and other forms of cleansing, lay a
crucial role in the healing rocess %ecause when we cleanse the colon
6which is a (ey layer in our deto3ification system7 the load of to3ins
that the %ody has to deal with is su%stantially diminished' ,ith fewer
to3ins to deto3ify, the %ody, as a whole, is under less stress and can
de&ote more of its energy to healing and maintaining health'
+% !nemas Allo, for more "oom to -ro, % % % and .eal*
,hen the &olume of the colon is reduced, the o&erall ressure
within the a%dominal>el&ic area is reduced' Cust thin( a%out how your
a%domen feels when you ha&e eaten more than you should ha&e and
your stomach has %ecome o&er distended' If you1&e e&er had a gut full
of stool 6and most of us ha&e7 you (now that the effect is anything %ut
leasant' ,hat a relief it can %e to decrease e&en slightly the fullness
of one1s a%domen' The %enefits of emtying one1s colon go %eyond an
increased sense of lightness and well-%eing' Ta(ing ressure off
neigh%oring organs 6there%y gi&ing them %etter conditions to heal
with7, enhancing %lood-flow to the entire a%dominal>el&ic region and,
reducing strain to the hi 5oints and the lum%ar sinal column are all
e3cellent ad&antages to (eeing one1s colon less full' !or those of us
who ha&e had chronic or acute stress to our colon itself, eriods of
diminished ressure are &ery imortant for a healing colon' And, as I
will ela%orate later, enemas are a great way to deli&er theraeutic
su%stances such as oli&e oil or aloe &era 5uice, to the interior wall of
your colon'
/% Constipation is .ard on 0s%
In the :';', la3ati&es and stool softeners are the two %iggest selling
medications, #nd only to ain relie&ers' Constiation is 8uite common
in our modern world for eole of all ages' ;o is colon cancer' In fact,
colon cancer is the second most common tye of cancer in the :nited
;tates' +any scientific studies ha&e shown that there is an increased
ris( of colon cancer in eole who are chronically constiated' The
connection %etween %owel disease and constiation seems to %e
related to the fact that constiation dramatically reduces what is called
the %owel transit time, or the time that it ta(es food to go from the
mouth, through the digesti&e system and out as stool as a so called
?%owel mo&ement@' The National Institute of Health reorts that the
?normal@ range of %owel mo&ements in a wee( ranges from three to
twenty one' This range shows 5ust how e3tremely constiated many
of us are' At the e3treme ends of this ?normal range@ you ha&e %owel
transit times ranging from fifty-si3 to eight hoursD Among most
natural health ractitioners, it is felt that the otimal %owel transit time
is %etween 1# -1* hours' ;low %owel transit times raise the ris( of
colon diseases and contri%ute to health ro%lems in art %y increasing
the amount of time that the colon content is a&aila%le for re-a%sortion
into the %ody' Ei(e all mucous mem%ranes, the interior surface of the
colon is a%le to a%sor% certain su%stances' The longer food and
micro%ial waste sit in contact with the colon wall the more oortunity
there is for stagnation, urification and re-a%sortion of these wastes'
It is also (nown that stool often contains many carcinogenic materials
that when remain in contact with the colon wall romote cancer of the
colon'
1% !nemas 2s% #a(ati2es:
A -entler Approach to,ards .ealth%
It doesn1t ta(e much to con&ince most eole that constiation is
hard on us 6esecially anyone who struggles with it to any degree'7
And it1s not surrising that la3ati&es and stool softeners ha&e %ecome
a multi-%illion dollar industry' ,e li&e fast-aced, stressful li&es and
it1s easy to romote and caitaliBe on the con&enience of ta(ing ills
rather than doing enemas' Howe&er, la3ati&es act on the central
ner&ous system, as well as the colonic musculature and easily create a
%iochemical im%alance in the %ody' "&eruse of some la3ati&es has
caused damage to the ner&es, muscles, and tissues of the intestines and
colon' In contrast, enemas gently and effecti&ely cleanse the colon'
They hel to gi&e the colon the rest it needs while imro&ing colonic
muscle tone' Fes, enemas do increase the tone of the muscles'
Ea3ati&es do not' Enemas are a much more natural and healthy way
for your %ody to ha&e assistance in remo&ing waste'

%athroom closet and if she wasn1t ?feeling u to snuff,@ you (now that
%ag got some use and she swore she felt %etter' I thin(, for Grandma,
the fact that she could gi&e them to herself and not send another dime
6e3cet for a %it of ta water7 was as much her aeal to enemas as
was their theraeutic effects'

,ith the right attitude and actions an enema can %e a multi-faceted
gem of a gift to you' ,hen it comes down to it, the finest gift that we
can gi&e oursel&es is the gift of ta(ing e3cellent care of our %odies'
,hen we do, we get more of our true Bestful sel&es, and so does the
rest of the world' It1s that simle' In addition, the actual act of gi&ing
oneself an enema can %e e3tremely leasant, I will ela%orate more on
this oint in the ne3t section'

The Basics Principles for Successful !nemas
7% -i2e yourself space 5physically and psycholo&ically6 to treat
yourself to an enema%
As I said a%o&e, it is a gift you deser&e to en5oy it to the fullest' It is a
time for healing' =o what you ha&e to do to ma(e it yours' I can ma(e
some suggestions in this regard, %ut this is the most indi&idual asect
to the enema as a theraeutic e3erience' !or some it means setting u
a comforta%le, rotected lace, turning off the hone and answering
machine, utting on some music or watching a fa&orite tele&ision
show' !or others, enema time is a time to share a healing e3erience
with someone as you gi&e each other an enema' There is no right way
to set u your enema9 howe&er I do %elie&e it is &ery helful to calm
your mind, rela3 as much as ossi%le and let your mind wor( with the
healing and cleansing owers of your enema'
$% Take your time'
This is e3tremely imortant' The slower you gently add the water to
your colon the %etter' By doing so, you enhance your a%ility to deli&er
water farther into the colon - ideally all the way to the cecum'
64emem%er, the cecum is an area with a &ery high concentration of
%acteria'7 If you don1t go slowly enough you will 8uic(ly stimulate the
rectum and sigmoid colon which are triggered to e&acuate with
increased ressure' This tendency is common and its occurrence
should not discourage you' In order to a&oid this, I highly recommend
that you allow only H cu to 1 cu of water into your colon er H
minute to one minute' If your sigmoid>rectal area is stimulated easily,
there is nothing wrong with going to the toilet and then starting o&er
again' In fact, each time you add water you will %e adding it to an
emtier colon and you will %e a%le to get water farther into the colon'
+% Be pleased ,ith yourself'
=eciding to ta(e charge of your lower digesti&e tract 6health7 is no
small thing' Though it doesn1t ha&e to %e hard to gi&e oneself an
enema on a regular %asis, or as needed, %ut it can %e a %it more
challenging to con&entional thin(ing, lifestyles and feelings' Fou can
%e roud of this commitment to your health' Fou are using a non-
in&asi&e, non-addicti&e, economical and effecti&e self-hel tool for
internal cleansing and healing' ,hate&er your results, %e leased and
(now that they will imro&e with your e3erience and health'
.o, to Take an !nema
There is no one right way, lace or time to gi&e oneself an enema' I
encourage eole to try different situations in order to find out what wor(s
%est for them indi&idually' The following are some %asic stes and
suggestions that will hel eole who are new to enemas<
1'7 ;et u a comforta%le lace' +y ersonal reference is on my %athroom
floor' I1m comforta%le on this firm surface' !or me a small %lan(et and a
coule towels ro&ide all the adding and suort I need' ;ome of my
clients refer to lie in their %eds, while others fa&or a %athtu% full of hot
water' Fou might want to get yourself some chu3 ads to rotect any
surface you are lying on or to a&oid soiling any of your towels or linens'
6Go to www'enema%ag'com for all sulies that are mentioned in this te3t
such as chu3 ads'7
#'7 Before you fill the %ag, ma(e sure that the clam is securely closed'
-'7 !ill your enema %ag with warm, filtered water enema' I strongly
recommend using water that has %een run through a re&erse osmosis filter'
If you do not ha&e a re&erse osmosis system many find that a shower filter
is con&enient' The temerature should %e aro3imately 1$$-1$/ degrees
!' Cold water will cause the colonic musculature to contract, reducing the
amount of fluid that you can ta(e in' ;ome eole li(e to use an enema %ag
with a wide oening and hang it from their showerhead' ,ith their water
turned on &ery low, they can ha&e a continuous flow for a rolonged
enema sessions'
/'7 Eu%ricate the ti of the noBBle with a non-etroleum lu%ricant li(e
;uer ;al&e or KF Celly' I encourage that you use lu%ricants li(e ;uer
;al&e, as they contain theraeutic su%stances for the rectal tissues and not
man-made chemicals that do irritate sensiti&e tissues'
)'7 There are a &ariety of ositions that one can assume to %egin an enema'
+ost eole find it easiest to lie flat on their %ac(s with their (nees fle3ed
and their legs ele&ated' 6!rom this osition one can raise their legs
o&erhead into a artial or full shoulder stand' This osition allows gra&ity
to mo&e water farther along the colon' !or those less agile, a illow under
the his can %e as effecti&e'

I'7 "en the tu%ing clam &ery slowly and let a &ery small amount
6aro3imately H cu7 of water into your colon, wait, wait, rela3, rest and
when ready, add another H cu' This is &ery imortant for a successful
enema' If you add water too 8uic(ly, you will simulate the sigmoid and
the rectum to cram, ma(ing it &ery hard to get water further into the
colon' If this haens, emty your %owels on the toilet and try again' In
order to achie&e a full cleansing of the entire colon, you are most often
going to need to ta(e a full two 8uarts of water into your colon one-three
times' In other words, for the most theraeutic %enefits that colon cleansing
has to offer, ta(e a series of enemas each time you ta(e ?an enema@' ;ome
eole find that they do e&en %etter when they ta(e more that # 8uarts of
water during one fill' This is why we ha&e enema %ags that hold three and
four 8uarts for sale on www'enema%ag'com'
.'7 It is helful to massage the colon to assist the flow of the enema
solution' This hels to relie&e ressure and get water around any fecal
matter' +assage your colon from the %ottom left corner of your a%domen
toward your chest 6descending colon7, across to the uer right 6trans&erse
colon7 and down the right side 6ascending colon7' I find it helful to use
small circular motions' ,hen releasing stool, massage your a%domen in
the oosite direction' 6Note< :sing Castor "il on your %elly for massage
%rings many healing %enefits' I highly recommend its use %efore you ta(e
an enema or at night %efore you go to %ed'7
*'7 A word of warning< The li8uid that you ut into your colon may not all
come out the first time that you release on the toilet' Treat all urges to
?ass gas@ as a otential release of %owel contents and ta(e the roer
recautions' This is esecially true when enemas are used to imlant
theraeutic agents that you (ee in your colon for a rolonged eriod'
Positions:
=ifferent eole find that different ositions wor( %etter for them and I
would concur that the (ind of osition that you assume for your enemas
could %e influenced %y a wide &ariety of indi&idual factors including one1s
anatomy, strength, agility, and symtoms' Below are three of the most
common enema ositions' I would encourage you to e3eriment with your
own %ody and see what wor(s %est for you'
Commonly Asked 8uestions
.o, should I e(pect to feel after an enema?
"f course for each erson this is going to %e different' +ost eole reort
feeling ?emty, light, or cleaned out'@ It is not uncommon to feel rela3ed
and may%e e&en tired, while other eole reort feeling energiBed and
refreshed'
.o, much time should an enema take?
Again, this &aries from erson to erson and the goal at the time' E&en a
8uic( enema that only cleanses the lower colon is &astly %etter than
sending the day constiated' ,hen I1m feeling tight on time, I can do a
8uic( enema in a%out 1$ minutes' To really gi&e your colon the cleansing
that it deser&es, I recommend ta(ing an hour or more for a series of enemas
so that you can cleanse more, if not all, of the colon'
Where can I &et enema e9uipment?
;ome harmacies will stoc( the %asic enema %ag' !or a wider selection of
high 8uality enema %ags and e8uiment, I recommend that you &isit our

,hat do I do?
+ost, if not all, enema %ags come with a hoo( that is designed to hoo(
o&er the shower curtain rod' This hoo( can also %e hoo(ed o&er a shower

our selection at< www'enema%ag'com'
Why doesn:t my doctor recommend enemas; ut rather la(ati2es?
I1m not sure, %ut my %est guess is that the doctors and medical
esta%lishments are influenced and dri&en to a large e3tent %y the
harmaceutical industry and what is most financially rofita%le' Enemas
are an ine3ensi&e and self-hel aroach to health'

.o, can I &et out those lack <ropey< thin&s I=2e seen pictures of?
The %lac( ?roey@ things are roduce when certain sulemental %inding
minerals such as Bentonite are ta(en' In com%ination with cleansing fasts,
these agents are e3cellent at ulling accumulated wastes out of the colon
walls so that they can %e eliminated' 6;ee Ji-Tra-To3 Kit in 0roducts
section'7 Also, in my C= %oo(, Ten =ays to "timal Health, I ha&e laid
out an easy to use -) day cleansing lan that will roduce these ?roes@'

Are enemas dan&erous?

No, enemas are e3tremely safe for almost e&eryone' If you are concerned,
lease contact Kristina Amelong at the "timal Health Center'
>oes an enema ,ash out the healthy acteria and if so ho, can I
replace them?
Ei(e our mouths and s(in, our colon has a micro%ial ecosystem with as
many as four %illion micro%es' Enemas are not going to wie out all of the
healthy %acteria any more than ta(ing a %ath or %rushing your teeth is
going to eliminate your healthy s(in or oral flora' I do recommend that all
eole ta(e a daily ro%iotic 6"rtho Biotic or a similar roduct7 regardless
of whether or not they are ta(ing enemas' This will hel to ma3imiBe the
health the internal ecosystem' I also recommend that you imlant
Bifidonate to grow a healthy colon flora'
>oes the enema ,ash out electrolytes or mineralsK
This should not %e a ro%lem with normal>moderate enema use' !or dietary
and stress related reasons, most eole are deficient in a num%er of
electrolytes 6minerals7 e&en if they don1t ta(e enemas' I am much more
concerned a%out dramatically %oosting the nutrient &alue in our diets than
worrying a%out the small amounts of electrolytes that may or may not %e
lost during an enema' !or this urose, I ha&e written my C= %oo(, Ten
=ays to "timal Health, which is a -) day cleansing rogram that will
%ring you a new standard of health'
htt<>>www'colonichealth'com>1$day'htm' In addition to this, I ha&e
researched widely in order to ro&ide regular enema users with Ei&ing
!uel, a sulemental drin(, which will ro&ide you will the daily
sulemental nutritional re8uirements needed while doing regular enemas'
Can one do too many enemas?
Fes' The num%er of enemas that a erson can>should do is a &ery
indi&idual thing' I thin( that most eole can ?listen to their %ody@ on this
one' I do (now many eole who ha&e ta(en daily enemas for years due to
a oor functioning colon and don1t feel well unless they do this' Howe&er,
if you ha&e a concern that you might %e doing too many enemas, I would
encourage you to contact me ersonally for further consultation'
1% !nema "ecipes
+ost commonly, ?an enema@ refers to the ractice of infusing li8uid into
the colon and then releasing it' Another way to use enema %ags is to
?imlant@ certain su%stances with a desired theraeutic goal into the colon'
,ith an ?imlant@ you actually (ee the solution in your colon for a eriod
of time, there%y allowing the colon wall to remain in contact with the
solution for a longer eriod' The scoe of this %oo(let does not include the
wide &ariety of theraeutic imlants or enema recies that are ut forth %y
enema and imlant enthusiasts' Ten =ays to "timal Health goes into
more detail on this su%5ect' It is my goal here to simly introduce the toic
and gi&e you information a%out a coule (ey recies that I encourage
e&eryone to use'
!irst of all, for your first enema in a series, I would add eermint to the
water' Add si3 to eight dros the highest 8uality oil to each 8uart of water'
This will increase the effecti&eness of the enema and not irritate the colon
as soa does'
;econd of all, adding coffee to your second enema is a great tool for
deto3ification' I would only use organic coffee Add 1 ts-1 cu of already
%rewed 6the li8uid and not the grounds7 coffee into one 8uart of water'
After a coffee enema, you do not want to feel the ?%uBB@ of the caffeine in
the coffee' If you do, you are using too much coffee' :sing a colon tu%e
will %ring the coffee to the lace in the colon where it will deli&er the most
theraeutic %enefits' I recommend a -$L colon tu%e' Hold solution for 1$-
#$ minutes' How often you ta(e a coffee enema deends on the indi&idual'
+onthly to daily 6for a theraeutic time eriod7 is fine' Coffee stimulates
the gall%ladder to roduce and release %ile, which in turn remo&es to3ins

The ?ptimal .ealth Center Implant:
Ei(e most imlants, this one will wor( %est after you ha&e ta(en a water

may ta(e you as long as half an hour to emty the contents of the %ag or
you may not %e a%le to ta(e the whole amount' Ta(e in what you can and
hold it as long as you can' This solution will soothe and heal the intestinal
lining during inflammation as well as lu%ricate the colon for %etter
functioning' !or this imlant, I recommend an enema %uc(et or the #)$$ cc
clear %ag' In addition, a -$@ colon tu%e is helful to deli&er the su%stance
to a lace in your colon where it is easier to retain this imlant for many
hours if not an entire day'
Tips for successful implants % % %
After infusing the imlant and remo&ing the tu%e from your rectum9 and
%efore standing u, lift your %uttoc(s off the ground and e3tend your legs
into a full or artial shoulder stand' This will allow gra&ity to further mo&e
the li8uid into your colon 6not recommended if you ha&en1t tried this
%efore or if you are not agile7'
Try to retain this imlant for at least 1 hour and to u to se&eral hours if
you can' If you cleanse your colon well %efore the imlant and infuse it
slowly, you should %e a%le to hold in this solution for se&eral hours' If an
urge to e&acuate ersists, do so' ;ome eole find it more con&enient to
go to %ed with this infusion in' =oing so allows the imlant to ha&e a
otentially rolonged eriod of contact with the colon lining' If you try this
aroach, secial recautions should %e ta(en to rotect your %edding and
mattress, 6chu3 ad7 as an in&oluntary lea(age of the solution is common
during slee'
!ollowing an imlant, don1t %e fooled %y the urge to ?ass gas@' To do so
could cause a %it of a mess' If you must ass gas, and you still want to
retain the imlant, lie on your %ac( in the (nee-chest osition for one
minute' Hold a iece of toilet aer o&er the anus allowing the gas to
escae while you retain as much of the solution as ossi%le'
If you are a%le to hold an imlant in for more than an hour, it is not
common for small amounts of oil to come out when ?assing gas@ for u to
twel&e hours after the imlant'
;ome of my clients ha&e found that if you ta(e a warm %ath during or right
after you infuse an imlant, in a somewhat floating %ody, the colon can do
a %etter 5o% of distri%uting the solution' This reortedly has made it easier
to retain the imlant

Health@ and how one can use enemas as one of the tools to achie&e otimal

considerations to ta(e &ery seriously when wor(ing for otimal health for

6;A= In addition, cleansing your %ody will not roduce the long-term
%enefits that you are loo(ing for without eating the diet that is right for
your meta%olic tye' Because of this, diet is always the first ste in a
cleansing rogram'

Enemas are not dangerous, dirty, weird or wrong' As this %oo(let has

to assist your colon to heal and function otimally' !or a num%er of
reasons, enemas ha&e fallen out of fa&or with the u%lic and are 5ust now
ma(ing a come%ac( as an alternati&e to more medically oriented
inter&entions' "ne of the most imortant things to (ee at the center of
this come%ac( is the thoughtful and safe care that you gi&e to your enema
e8uiment' ,hat follows are some guidelines that will romote a ositi&e,
safe and healthy return of the in-home enema' !or the safety of you and
your lo&ed ones, we as( that you ta(e them &ery seriously'
1' Ne&er force, ressure or coerce someone to ta(e an enema' To do
so, esecially with a young child, could lead to &ery ainful
emotions %ecoming attached to enemas'
#' Ne&er share enema %ags, tu%ing or tis with others 6esecially7
tis' ;haring enema e8uiment is the reason that many eole
ha&e gotten sic( doing enemas'
-' Clean your e8uiment immediately after each enema' :se hot
soay water and %e sure to rinse all arts well' Hang %ag and
tu%ing so that all water can drain from them' Enema %ags and
tu%ing should ne&er %e stored with moisture inside them as this
will enhance micro%ial growth' 0articular attentions should %e
aid to cleaning the ti or noBBle' I recommend designating a tiny
%rush 6a tooth %rush or a taered %a%y %ottle nile %rush wor(
well7 and your ti %rush' ,hen clean and dry, store them in
clearly mar(ed containers so that they don1t get confused with
someone else1s ti or %rush' N

should feel roud of the way that you care for your %ody' It is
nothing to %e ashamed of' Ha&ing an oen and comforta%le
attitude towards enemas will hel others to learn of this amaBing
