Re: home made colonics?

The primary difference between an enema and a colonic is the amount of water used...when I perform a colonic I generally use between 15-20 gallons of water! There is another difference, though, that is much harder to describe in words. A closed-system colonic involves the insertion of a speculum that passes and opens the second anal sphincter (an open-system uses a thin rectal tube which does not do this) so that waste flows out without any need for pushing...not straining, but the usual pressure exerted to eliminate. This allows for a 'dancing' or 'rocking' to occur between filling and releasing...like I said, it's hard to explain it...LOL...more of a feeling for it through experience. Rather than fill-fill-fill then release-release-release like an enema...it's more like fill-release-fill-release-fill-release as a continuous process. This adds to the effectiveness of the cleansing process and also provides the 'exercise' to the bowel muscle... which you don't get from an enema...regardless of the quantity of water.

*Phew*...words can be so limiting sometimes...LOL...this probably makes NO sense...but it's the best I can do to describe it!

All that being said... you have to be practical and work with whatever is available to you. A super enema would certainly help to clear you out. You should be using purified or distilled water for any enemas or colonics. Either one is only going to clear what is loosened already...and only address the colon...part or whole. Neither a colonic or an enema is a replacement for a colon cleanse, though...which addresses the entire digestive tract and not just the colon. Tweet
