I also was worried about electrolyte imbalance after a coffee enema.

As a preparation, I simple just did a water enema mixed with a spoon full of salt to clean the colon and avoid dehydration. And after the coffee enema, I actually drank 4 cups of water w/ Sea Salt to make sure I`m not dehydrated.

This is very simple advice, but it seemed to have worked for me. I feel fine and the constipation has gone away.

Good luck!

You're welcome, earthlove, I wish you success and blessing as you make your way forewards! :)

sodium butyrate is a buffered form of N - butyric acid - that means it is absorbed into the intestinal lining and bloodstream. It treats the pancreas, liver and small intestine more than it treats the colon. you'd need 6 capsules of sodium butyrate to effectively saturate the body with the reccommended 3 grams of butyrate for a 180lb male. Unbuffered n-butyric acid is a metric poopton cheaper than supplemental sodium butyrate.

reccommended dosages are always body weight dependant.

(However, don't go for saturation, go for what feels right. If you feel uncomfortable after things, journal what happens. journal every alternative therapy you do, analyze what you ate, drank, did and supplements you took, and when you find a repeating pattern... well, research why it made you uncomfortable, and avoid it or alter your pattern. :)

shortening gastric empying means it speeds up slow digestion (good thing)

stomach acidity is unrelated to butyrate except at this level - the stomach is lined with epithilial cells just like the intestines, and butyrate is used at the mitochondrial level of every epithilial cell. It will have effects at every mucousal-producing cell of the body, not just the intestines.

In general butyrate speeds mitochondrial activity. For stomach acid what you need to do is provide the basic ingredients of hydrogen peroxide - chlorides, magnesium and salts (himalaya or american redmond's rock salts, or, selectively, dirty-looking atlantic (slighty grey) salts (where the Iodine has not been rinsed out. ))

Iodine will help up hydrogen peroxidase in the body. I tolerate topical application of Lugol's Iodine best (as a type 1 diabetic). Lugol's lab stain 30% Iodine in dry powder form can be purchased very cheap from ebay, and will supply for a looooooooong time.


Save your activated charcoal for brushing your teeth with (excellent carbon donator/ tooth detox aka tooth whitener!) and for taking after meals if you start to feel 'off' - sick, too much detox after having a parasite killer, or digestive enzymes, or the like. It's an excellent tool against acid reflux!

Yes, Bentonite is a very good thing, a little /before/ an enema might be good.
Take care of the mineral composition of the bentonite. If it's predominantly white Bentonite (calcium bentonite), it's a powerful dehydrating agent. Balance it out with transdermal magnesium (Mg chloride spritzed on the skin or Epsom Salt (Mg sulfate) and Sea Salt footsoaks, or a higher dose of Mg taurate (douglas labs brand is my preferred) taken at least 2 hours away from all Bentonite shakes) and oil pulling (to get extra efas into the bloodstream)


>>Im worried about my actual intestines getting dried out with a enema….i don’t want to have them be dehydrated, as ive read has happened to others.

Enemas (aka, colonic rinses) are known as hydrotherapy - aka, it is a very /fast/ way to introduce hydration into the body and to skip the stomach-acid diluting effect of drinking lots of tap or spring water. I'm a bit off the wall with speaking against heavy water intake, but my opinion is that liquids should ideally be full of nutrition- freshmade veggie juice, organic green tea, herbal teas, water kefir or raw milk kefir, raw milk or unhomogenized organic milk (in small quantities), or simply 1/2 an organic lemon's worth of juice squeezed into a glass of tap or spring (preferrentialy) water with a eeensybitty pinch (with your fingers) of himalaya salt.

In most colonic solutions, people put a little rock or Sea Salt . If there is too much salt, it can /pull/ water through the intestinal wall and out. In this case what's needed is to look at the forum threads that report dehydration, and see what protocols they are doing and mistakes they making. (I read that one of our users here uses 1 spoonful of salt per rinse. A tablespoon is 10-15 grams of salt, in about 4 quarts of water (just under 4 liters))

'In physiology, the primary ions of electrolytes are sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl−), hydrogen phosphate (HPO42−), and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3−)' (wikipedia)

Dehydration will result from overloading on one of those ingredients, which creates a deficiency in one of the others. So the fix is stopping using the overloaded ingredient, and introducing the others into the body. Veggie juice supplies aaaalll the electrolyes. The easiest-accessible electrolyte solution is organic coconut water, and it can be stored in the freezer. It lacks vit C though, which also ups hydration really well (see above water with lemon juice! ;) )

Did the dehydrating colonic threads mention internal Epsom Salt use? That's a really quick way to change electrolyte balance, for sure. ;)



>>Where did you learn how to do an enema? Like is there a special book I should follow?

Use instructions here on CZ to help guide you through, or youtube videos for a visual understanding. I had .. ouuh, 3-4 years of reading here (since I had NOOO idea where to get a colonics bag here in Denmark) to get all the details down pat, and after tha, I just.. tried things bit by bit. Yes, you can get a book, if that makes you comfortable. It's much more cost-effective and speedy to print out the data that you find most helpful though.
Here's one I found on google books: https://books.google.dk/books?id=oIXwC28pcFUC&dq=how+to+enema&source=gbs_navlinks_s 'The complete enema recipe handbook: Keep your Intestines clean with 22 different Enema Recipes & learn the effects of different foods on your body' by Patrick Hamouy , just under 100 pages (you can purchase books through google books, and they provide links)

3 min video from a colonic hydrotherapy clinic that explain some of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgjAvD5nX84

CZ's page about enemas (aka colonic hydrotherapy) explains all the warnings & precautions, processes, and reasons to, or not to, do them.

I use gerson therapy-style coffee colonics like once a week, and I find them to be very hydrating.
A few other folks have made good posts/links about them on your thread here. ;)

The therapeutic coffee for an enema is obtained from http://www.sawilson's.com. I didn't add anything to it. Take 3 TBSP and put them in a quart of water. Boil for 5 minutes, then simmer for 20. Add enough water to bring the original volume up to a quart again. Position yourself on the bathroom floor with a towel under you after putting 2 cups of strained coffee into a water bottle or plastic pail for enema from sawilson's.com website or otherwise. Hold the 2 cups for 15 minutes. Expel, do the same with the other 2 cups.

What you're talking about is a colon cleanse. that is done every day with preferabley starting out with Schulze #1 formula and taking it every day maybe 3x a day to bowel tolerance. The colon junk is layered in the colon. Soften the first layer up, then add the #2 formula that has the Bentonite clay and activated charcoal in it. Do 10 capsules 4-5 times a day for 30 days at a time until the colon is clean of the first layer, then repeat. Stay on the #1 formula. Add the #2 formula when your stomach gets a bit queasy. That means the next layer is softened up.
Dehydration comes when the body tries to pull water out of the system to get the colon crap out of there. It needs a procedure and it needs your help to make it go. Clean out the colon and you'll be all right. It may take you from a few months to a few years to get it accomplished.

Cleaning out the body will take care of adrenal issues. Get some dulse and take it for the thyroid. Take Standard Process vitamin B1. Go get a chiropractic treatment and ask them for some or get it off the internet. Total Health Vitamins sells it.
Clean out the liver, too. I did the Coke flush. all thew hile stay on a good systemic dewormer. http://www.oldfshionedspices.com. Longevity Spices formula or any of his PW formulas. They're excellent.

My experience. Hope you're helped by it.
