Rather than intuition I rely mainly on my own experience and the experience of others.

Enemas/colonics were widely used in early Natural Hygiene and this included Shelton himself, who relied on his contemporaries and predecessors in the use of both as this is what he had been taught. Their use was believed to aid in the cleansing of the bowels and colon, but this was based solely on what they thought would be beneficial, and aid the body in health-recovery.
However, it became the opinion of many fasting supervisors not to employ the enema, as their use was found to be extremely enervating.

SHELTON.
"patients who are placed on a fast today and who are not given the enema, recover sooner and more satisfactorily than those who do get enemas. The enervating effect of the enema is indisputable and no one of experience will deny that it is a trying ordeal for most patients to go through. In many cases it leaves an immediate weakness which lasts, often, for hours".................

The legacy of that time is the fallacy of "autointoxication" or the re-absorption of toxins from the colon into the body while fasting, but this was borne out to be untrue through both trial and error, and tests conducted by Dr Shelton himself.
I will also add that this was my own experience before undergoing my own two extended fasts, having tried the enema and a colonic or two which left me in an extremely weakened and exhausted state after I knew I had Leukemia.
During those two prolonged fasts, I just didn't see the need for either of these measures, and still firmly believe to this day thru that experience, that I recovered sooner than I would have done if they had been employed.

Of course it is a matter of personal preference, and where nothing is "set in stone" whether they are used or not, but my own experience, including that of Shelton and others (Sidhwa) concluded that they were a pernicious practice and not to be recommended.
