Enemas... anyone up to discussing them?

I find enemas to be helpful after a juice fast because it gets things moving again.

What is the thinking on oral cleanses such as Bowtrol or Enuvia?

I am not familiar with Bowtrol. I have heard good things about Enuvia, but have not used it. Oral cleanses can be valuable for binding toxins once released if there is some binding agent, like bentonite clay or zeolite, etc. Sometimes the herbs can be soothing & help heal the mucosal lining of the intestines. It depends on what's in the oral cleanses.

The main value I see in these, is they are more like brooms in cleaning the sides of the pipes, whereas colonics & enemas are more loosening & drawing out what is already loose, like a water hose to pipes. Both can be valuable in getting things unclogged & moving, and both will ultimately help the liver to the extent that toxins move thru the pipes more quickly & are not sitting there going back into the bloodstream & then to the liver to process.

However, utilizing coffee &/or wheatgrass to support the liver needs an enema or colonic to clear the pipes 1st so that the wheatgrass or coffee can go thru the portal vein to the liver without the toxins from stool. Wheatgrass, BTW is also nourishing for the colon as well.

You could certainly do all or any of these.

You may want to consider looking at doing a juice fast in conjunction with a colonic/enema, if you choose to do that. This will also help reduce the load on the entire digestive system, giving more energy for healing. Juicing also gets into your system more quickly in terms of providing nourishment. Hope that helps clarify.

Michalene - Here is a link to the Colonix website. That is the testimonials page. Here is the picture page. What do you make of this?

Oh god Clint!! LOL I'd be scared to death if something like that came out of me. But I don't think you'd see me picking it up to play with it, i mean seriously... who does that? lol

*snork* hahaha

ROFL! :-O

That is totally gross. But, that website has tons of testimonials with all the same kind of pictures! I am a total cynic but that stuff has me wondering ...

Well now that Clint has kindly cleaned out the toilet for you, no worries! Those guys are pretty messy, displayin everything all over the place, don't ya think?

As far as the content of the Colonix product, it looks to have many of the herbs that I've seen in cleansing formulas for soothing the intestines & in the parasite formula. Some folks have sensitivities to psyllium. As far as fiber, it should help move things out. If you want to bind toxins with something like liquid bentonite, here is another cleanse for comparison...Arise & Shine or Sonnes.

I do wonder a bit about a site that is predominantly poop testimonials. I would say, go with your gut..hah! If you get a good vibe, give it a shot. As you'll be doing colonics and/or enemas as well, I think you have some good coverage. And the colon therapist will no doubt have some thoughts for you on this as well...they often sell cleanse kits too, but ask about the ingredients & why they sell it (from a content perspective).

I describe the why and how of coffee enemas in the group Crazy Sexy Gerson Person. Here is my post.
