Hi Jo, I appreciate your follow-up to my questions and thank you for your descr*iption of some of the attitudes toward natural health practices in your home country. Although I am an enthusiastic advocate of colonics, and had been using them myself for several years before I entered the profession, I still am a firm believer in the personal health benefits of the old fashioned enema.

My enema bag hangs on the back of my bathroom door, and despite the option to have colonics as desired, I generally take enemas much more frequently, and am actually looking forward to one as soon as I send this message before going to bed.

Periodic enemas are good for almost anyone of any age, pediatric to geriatric, especially with all the fast foods, junk foods, processed foods and the likes of what the average person in the USA eats as a normal practice.

So I encourage you to continue to use gentle enemas as you feel you need. As one of the Registered Nurses during my colonic training always said "Listen to your body - if you feel that an enema might help, it probably will. It can't hurt, it can only help".

Congratulations for sticking with your fast to the very end as you originally planned!

Sincerely, Valerie

P.S. You are so fortunate in Finland with the availability of pure water out of your tap!!!
