Re: Can a nine year old do a cleanse?

Well,

Without going into a lot of detail, my mother gave me enemas when I was small till I was about twelve. Having been aquainted with them as a child, I use them today...especially for intense migraines that are upon me from time to time.

Now, I've discussed this with my doctor and research seems to indicate success in this area. However, Mom would have gone to jail today for the things she did to me. By any standards, she overdid it. For any child, I would advise you to explain what the proceedure is. Talk it over. Then, do a little "show and tell" so she dosn't feel humiliated when it's her turn. Don't go for capacity, but, instead help her and instruct her with the idea that pain is bad but a gentle flush is good. Never raise the bag more than a couple of feet above her hips and use a 50/50 mixture of salt and baking soda about a tablespoon each per quart. Once you see that she has the idea, give her her privacy, and, eventually, her own bag (open top syringe is best)if it appears she is helped. Let her take the lead on this and let her decide when. Remember, she can do most of this herself with little supervision.

It works for me.

Luck to you. Tweet
