Re: Enemas and Water fasting

It is possible that if you took tapwater or distilled water enemas on a regular basis during your fast that you could have problems with electrolyte imbalance.

The best time for a colonic, or series of colonics, is before you begin water fasting. However in your case, since that would be very difficult because of the distance involved, you may wish to consider a daily salt solution enema while fasting.

My preference is to use one teaspoon of Sea Salt for each pint (or 500 ml) water, and that works out to 4 teaspoons of salt for a full bag enema. This is an isotonic solution, meaning that the enema will neither add to or deplete your body's electrolyte balance. The enema should be at 103 degrees F (39.5 degrees C) at preparation time.

If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get back, and best wishes for your fast!
