Water!

I've been using tap water for my enemas all my life, but it may be time to rethink that...

There has been much in the news lately about city drinking water contamination that has been covered up by city governments. They are finding numerous pesticides, etc., but one that really hit home for me is dry cleaning fluids.

The school where I work is in a center sharing all types of business. In a conversation with our property management company, a rep told me that they will never rent to another dry cleaner, as it cost them 1.6 million to clean up the damage that was done to the environment in and around one of their properties, caused by the dry cleaning facility that rented a space for several years. She told me that this is a dirty little secret that most of the public is unaware of, but many property management firms are now refusing to rent to dry cleaners for this reason. All that, and the bastards keep ruining the buttons on my shirts, LOl.

In as much as a lot of bottled water is taken from city water supplies and then "purified", one has to wonder if that process can remove such contaminates.

At any rate, I'm thinking it might be time to start using bottled water only. (What a PITA!) We all know that we bypass our bodies natural filtration system by introducing anything directly into the colon, so if we shouldn't be drinking it.... 😮

Don’t overlook the “whole house” water filtration systems. These are very different than a water softener. Filtration systems come in many different grades from a large base of companies. The “medical” or “hospital grade” being the highest.

Keep in mind that your pipes will need to be cleaned before a system is installed. Kind’a like an enema for your house I guess.

I have a filtered shower head. These are much easier to find now. I also find it very handy since I do my enemas mostly in the bath tub.

Also, I find that the filtered water is better for my skin and hair.

Bottoms Up!

By and large, bottled water is just "Madison Ave" trying to get you to purchase their product..There is nothing at all worng with most local water supplies..Nothing at all..thaking an enema with tap water" will not harm you..

Let me explain something If you go into a convenience store and buy a bottle of water its about $1.25..multiply that by 8 and you get $10.oo a gallon..hell were bitching about $3.oo a gallon gasoline !!!!!! Get real..use the tap water..Its very safe...

Whatever you drink, you can use in an enema. Municipal water supplies are far more regulated than bottled waters, and some bottled waters are literally nothing more than tap water someone puts into a bottle.

As far as filtered water is concerned, "filtered water" can be nothing more than water passed through a 30 micron particle filter. They are cheap and only take out solids. This is what most colon therapists have that I have been to. Some might use a carbon filter, but those get more expensive and they need to be replaced more often. I have seen the filters they use when I go for colonics, usually 3-4 per year for over 15 years now because I like being pampered and able to relax. Beyond that, you can have 5 micron, then carbon filters which filter out smaller particulate matter and the carbon will take out a degree of heavy metals. The best filtration is reverse osmosis. Our house has a "whole house" 5 micron filter (about the size of a 45 gallon garbage can) that filters everything except water used in the pool and watering the lawn. It has a timer where we set it to automatically backwash itself every night from 3 am to 4 am. In the kitchen, we use reverse osmosis water for cooking and drinking because I like the way it tastes. It tastes like totally tasteless water, which is great because I am a coffee, espresso, and tea fanatic. A reverse osmosis filter for the "whole house" isn't very practical because they don't have the capacity to run appliances or showers and even the ones in our kitchen only store about ten gallons in its reservoir, so after you fill a couple of 24 quart stock pots (I do massive cooking for company) you have to let the system re-fill itself which can take a few hours.

So, what I use is the water from the bathroom, which is simply run through the house particle filter, which does not take out anything dissolved, like heavy metals--but we have a very clean water supply where we live. Besides, I occasionally use the closed system type colonic device my husband constructed that uses continuously running water and a speculum that stays in, just like at a colonic spa. Like going for a colonic, it is very relaxing, and I love the water flowing in and out, but unless I have my husband there and controlling the inflow and outflow of the water, the colonics at the spa are more relaxing because all I have to do is lay there! If I were to use the reverse osmosis water from the kitchen, I would have to heat it in the microwave or on the stove, which isn't very convenient.

I agree with Micheal2. If you can drink the water, you can use it for enemas. i've used filtered and non-filtered tap water for 15 years. The filters are a lot easier to get nowadays though. The new shower head filters are great. They're cheap too.

The water I use up here in MA is ground water with a taste of clorine,however,the filter which cost only nine dollars does a pretty good job removing the clorine.So on the night I plan my enemas I'll filter about three gallons of water to have it ready.I also premix the water with sea salt and some with a my soap mix.

There should be some way to get the flouride out of tap water. The USA is the last nation that still flouridates water and for no good reason.

I now exclusively use filered water for BOTH ends.

Quite pleased with a counter-top filter unit I got on line from aquasana.com for $99 that sits on my kitchen sink top (they also have one for under the counter, and for shower head) and use it for both drinking, coffee, tea and, of course, all my enemas.

I especially like getting rid of the chlorine smell and taste.

Absolutely right!! AZ and OH are the only 2 states in the US that do not add floride to their municipal water supply. Why? Because recent studies have proven that its dangerous to absorb in the human body.

There are two primary sources to the average everyday individual. Tap water or distilled water. If you use tap water and want to clean it, then you can purchase filtering systems that remove a number of things, but not all, none of the home filtering appliances/systems will do that %100. If you want contaminant free water, then only distilled water is %100 impurity free

Tap water all the way. Never even crossed my mind to use anything else, except when I packed my bags allong on the vacation to Punta Cana DR. Popped a couple iodine tabs into the bag allong with the local water and came away in tip top shape. 😁

Distilled water is not necessarily impurity free. While dissolved solids are removed, volatile compounds are not necessarily removed by simple distillation. In a normal distiller, they are simply boiled with the water and re-condense and are collected with the "purified" water. To remove all impurities, you need a fractional distillation device, which is much more complex and expensive than a simple distiller. The best method for most people is to use reverse osmosis water.

I have used tap water for several years now and have no trouble.

For their security, the most convenient thing is to make to boil the water and to allow it to cool.

Agree, Use Tap Water. Makes my job easier to turn on the faucet, fill the bag, then flush. No expensive gasoline, no expensive bottle to throw away or carry. Need I say more?

I just use tap water. Where I live has very good quality water.

Activated carbon filters remove most organics, Reverse Osmosis removes most minerals and produces near distilled quality water. Home water softeners just replace minerals such as calcium with sodium which leaves water with a high sodium content. One thing that you can do is to just draw water into gallon plastic milk jugs and let it set for a few days before use. That is what I do with my plant water.

For year everyone used tap water for drinking . . . etc. I think the advertising world has really scared the heck out of us in an effort to sell bottled water.

Just think about it--we go into restaurants and drinkw that's served to us, we drink coffee and iced tea that's made with tap water, we go to bars and places that use ice manufactured under questionable conditions, and we retain this water, and let it filter through our bodies slowly, where it can do bad things. Simply washing out our colon with some water that is only there for a short time is analogous to brushing our teeth or washing our hands. What's the big deal?

Obviously pure water would be the best so a filter makes sense because you want to minimize contaminants and chemicals. On the other hand I do not hold the water in for very long so I do not think that it is a huge deal unless you are doing very frequent enemas. I enjoy one or two per month.

Ditto: "If you can drink the water, you can use it in enemas." But, after long looking at scads of enema websites, and from my own quite long experience, I believe one more thing is essential: to add one teaspoon of salt to each quart. Apparently that helps to balance the electrolites; otherwise by osmosis a lot of water will be drawn through intestinal walls into the blood and you'll have to pee a lot for some hours. That's especially true if, as you should, you retain the enema water a fairly long time before expelling it, that will increase the osmotic interchange, you'll pee even more--and there'll be less of the large enema's good removal of loosened-up fecal matter that should be the goal of a good cleansing enema. (Occasionally I run across a recommendation to add baking soda also to the enema water--but this recommendation is so seldom that I discount it. Only salt seems universally recommended.)

I have a filter on my bathroom faucet, It works for the fish tanks and my bum.
