Re: good idea, Sandover

My experience with Liver Flushing v. enemas is that for me, enemas are a lot easier and less demanding in terms of time and all-over body commitment, so to speak. (I did try some Iodine a couple of months ago but don't think I used a "therapeutic" dose -- my next concoction will be Iodine + coffee and I will report back for the strong of heart!)

However, I think the whole idea of enemas is like Urine Therapy -- just very off-putting, counterintuitive, etc. and somewhat gross. I remember when my old friend WIll, who introduced me to cleansing in general (back in the day when I thought that drinking soy milk and being a vegetarian with a low-fat bent was keeping me at the pinnacle of health!), came to town a couple of years ago in the middle of some very serious liver-flushing and raw-diet stuff, plus coffee enema-ing. He was pretty whacked and it was not a great advertisement for any of that stuff, and looked to me like it was becoming part of the problem. (He does not have to work and does not have a family, so he can go all-out on different protocols and therapies b/c he has the time to lay low with it, unlike many of us.)

But I did reach a point of desperation when I did a Liver Flush and had terrible depression, so called him and he recommended just a plain- water enema to help flush toxins out, which was amazingly effective. And that paved the way for the "joe blow" -- as I call the coffee enema -- which I have come to really appreciate, as it's effective in cleaning the liver but w/o the mineral depletion I think San spoke of. Plus, anything that takes 25 minutes and requires no Epsom Salt ingestion is "better" in my book.

But I think we all get to any of these protocols and therapies in a sort of guided way and what makes no sense at some point may make sense later, and that can have little to do with our opinions.
