re: "I also believe that "toughing it out," is essentially what has to happen. But I am finding that one morning enema makes me feel more revitalized rather than sluggish in the course of a day. Rinsing my bowel tract, when it otherwise is not doing its job at this stage, works for me. I can see the bilious release and I can't imagine having that stick around longer is somehow a benefit to the process. In previous longish water fasts--21 and 23 days--I didn't use enemas and it was all I could do to lift my head off a pillow."
