Are enemas really healthy for you?

I’ve not seen much here about the health aspect of keeping yourself cleaned and rid of the nasty toxins that cause ill health.

I’ve been into enemas my entire life, but a few years ago I quit doing then as often and found I was catching almost everything that was going around.

I went back to my routine of daily enemas with weekly colonics and haven’t had as much as a cold in over ten years.

I really believe an enema a day keeps the doctor away.

Enemas have been a part of me for 55yrs,we're talking about thousands of them during my 72 yrs on this earth. A lot of folks my age are having all kinds of health problems,but not me.Therefore,I think I'll give myself a few thousnd more enams.

I think most people here direct the post toward the pleasure aspects of enemas, instead of the health side.

Kind of boring to read about the medical benefits unless you are studying to be a nurse.

Here's my take on the issue, but it's not scientific. I believe many of us who enjoy the the pleasures of enemas are more health conscious thus a healthier lifestyle. Coffee enemas stimulate the liver to produce enzymes that clean the blood. Coffee enemas also assist the colon to develop better function.

In my house, there are four people living here, the other three don't do enemas and have big time health problems. I've been enjoying enemas for over fifty years, I feel energetic. I'm busy all the time. I just did my roof over. I am always horny, well, you make the call.

Let the good times flow.

I'm with you twobagger---I think my good health at 66 has a lot to do with taking a good enema sometimes

Taking enemas on a regular basis helps me to cleanse my colon and at the same time gives me great sexual pleasure and satisfaction....

I always feel much better if I have one every couple of weeks. If I go longer, I get colds, aches and pains.

For me, enemas cure:

1. headaches

2. hangovers

3. most G.I. discomfort

4. menstrual cramps

5. stress/emotional distress

6. insomnia

7. and finally, constipation (duh!)

I would have made a good Victorian.

Twobagger,

You said....

Coffee enemas stimulate the liver to produce enzymes that clean the blood. Coffee enemas also assist the colon to develop better function.

Perhaps you could expound on this statement for the benefit of all of us who are interested. Can you give some specifics such as providing the names of the enzymes produced by the liver and how these enzymes clean the blood? Will you compare the difference between plain water enemas and coffee enemas, and how the colon develops better function when using one versus the other?

Thanks,

The third enema in the series is the coffee enema. The coffee is key to add to the enema during the holiday season because coffee increases the enzymatic action of the liver. For example, the coffee increases the production of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase, or GST, by 700 times, resulting in a powerful and effective quenching of free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and age-related diseases. The most abundant holiday foods -- refined sugar, white flour, margarine, rancid or hydrogenated oils -- are thought to create significant amounts of free radicals and also deplete our metabolic antioxidant enzymes. The blood cleansing process of the coffee enema helps to counteract the assault of free radicals.

To prepare the coffee enema, use a ratio of one half to one full quart of plain filtered water to one tablespoon to one cup of brewed enema coffee. Mix the water with the coffee solution. Take the coffee enema like you did the first two, but this time hold the solution for a full 12 to 15 minutes in order to allow the coffee to do its work of stimulating the liver and the gallbladder.

Max Gerson, MD, who wrote A Cancer Therapy: Results of Fifty Cases and the Cure of Advanced Cancer, first popularized the coffee enema. In his book, he documents how the coffee enema and other lifestyle changes cured 50 cases of cancer. Dr. Gerson used numerous coffee enemas with his clients each day.

Sounds like it might be OK for some people, but I wouldn't bet my life on coffee enemas or laetrile to cure cancer.

I agree. It use enemas a lot...especially coffee enemas tend to make me pee more often. But as a result, I have not suffered with kidney stones for over 10 years. As for general health...I go for annual checkups. That is the only time a doctor sees me. I'm in my mid 60's. Personal health and pleasure are good reasons for my vote.

I starting received enema health problems reasons,but last time I do it with pleasure

Enemas and health is a very controversial subject and I won't begin to take sides.

It seems to me to be a mistake to expect anyone here to defend a health practice; However, my own belief is that enemas can be helpful in maintaining health with the proper care from a physician for some people.

Hi everybody !

I am from Norway. It is not so much talk about enemas as fun in my country, not like US, but I am one of them who realy love to take enemas or klysters (as we call it in Norway).

In my 66 years life I have taken them since I was 10-12. The last 5 years I take them very regulary, every second day. (4 liter = 4,5 quarts. My helth-situation is fantastic. People think I am 10 years youger. My skin looks very clean with few wrinkles. I am very heathy in all circumstanses. No problems at all, and I am convitced it is because all my enemas. several 1000.

I had a friend who once told me he did the same klysters- action as me.

He got 101 year and was clear in head and helthy to his ending day.

I have a good cleansing enema at least every couple weeks, and whenever I feel like I might be coming down with a cold, etc. I always feel so much better afterwards. I think a good enema prevents a lot of sickness.

In addition to the health benefits described in the other posts, I have read that periodic enemas are of benefit in maintaining and stimulating the male prostate gland. edsienna

I cannot imagine being so lucky as to have something so pleasureable and healthy too as enemas! Heaven!

I feel the same as most people that have posted on this thread,I'm 62 years old and have taken many enemas in my life, I have stopped a few times and I have found that I don't feel healthy and start getting tired early in the day so I currently take about 2 to 3 a week and feel great, now with this flu going around I think it is more important than ever to keep up on them.

It really keeps you clean from the inside, and also gives pleasure!

I have given myself enemas since age 11 or 12. yesterday i tried my first ever coffee enema and it will not b my last. it made me feel great. enemas have been an on again off again thing with me but now i wish i had known about the coffee long ago. healthy and pleasureable..i agree anjie...heaven.

If you want to receive enemas solely for the pleasure of it, great! thats all the reason you need. If you can use enemas to improve your health even better yet. I think the health benefits of enemas are under rated and need to be promoted! The more people that use enemas, the better for all of us. If you can enjoy it and improve your health in the process what more reason do you need? I think everyone should be using enemas regularly as was the case in years past. Bring back the good old days!

If you go into any health store, you'll find TONS of books that recommend enemas! If you pick up a book, check out its index, and look up enemas or colonics.

Some books I came across that recommend enemas are:

Elson Haas, MD, “The Detox Diet” (1996)

Linda Rector-Page, Ph.D., N.D., “Healthy Healing” (1997)

Linda Rector-Page, Ph.D., N.D., “Detoxification” (1999)

Skye Weintraub, N.D., “The Parasite Menace” (199😎

Bernard Jensen, “Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management” (1981)

Josiane Mignot, “L’hydrothérapie du côlon” (1997, in French)

Christopher Vasey, “Manuel de détoxication” (1992, in French)

Hey, enemas are finally something that's HEALTHY AND FUN !!! How many fun things are there that are actually healthy? LOL

What surprises me is the number of patients who say they feel better after receiving a cleansing enema. I have given enemas to patients on several occasions before surgeries or bowel tests, and they often comment on feeling less bloated, more relaxed, and relieved from headaches. Often these are people who are not being administered an enema for constipation, but in fact many or most are constipated and don't realise it.

And it's no wonder they feel better! You should see the awful putrid junk that comes out of people who would otherwise be viewed as looking healthy. Just the other week I gave a series of enemas to a 16 year old boy who was in a car wreck and had become constipated after 4 days of being immobilised. I know he had to be miserable and those enemas hurt him alot because he had so much gas. It took a total of three different fills of 2 1/2 qts each to finally remove the hardened bulk of what he had in him. I believe too much of this is the cause of the poor diets so many kids have these days. Many who have bad diets are in fact not overweight. This is why I think enemas can be beneficial for just about anyone in moderation, because bowel disease hits people of all shapes, ages, and sizes.

For me to have an enema is really good for relieving any sense of congestion in the chest and heart area.

I feel lighter and much more able to literally breathe freely after a good enema.

It really helps me to get unclogged of a week's worth of accumulated toxins.

Our digestion is not as good as we imagine it to be.

Being massaged before the enema makes a huge difference.

I am more relaxed and much more receptive to the warm water being slowly injected into me using a Higginson's syringe.

Always been healthy and fun. Exoticism and sexual stimulation a secondary reward. Enjoy.

I guess its part of the mystery. Enemas provide sexual stimulation, pleasure, and improve health. I wonder why an activity that provides so many things is shrouded with such distain by many? Maybe it is from the old puritan view point - i.e. anything that feels good and/or provides sexual stimulation must be bad. It is a mystery to me, and I am somewhat saddened that many miss out this pleasure we share.

My job requires a lot of long distance flights east-west as well as west east. it means jet lag is part of my life, as 9 to 12 hours flights are the common rule. Apart from any fun or pleasure, an enema on arrival as well as back home has proven to be a very efficient way to wipe it off. Has someone else experienced ?

Same experience in reducing jet lag after east coast-far east and return. Tried many times and while not eliminating it, definitely helped. Of course after sitting for 18-20 hours, too much food and no exercise-constipation was very common outcome and the enema really helped with that as well.

All things in moderation. Too much CAN negatively impact health. As can alcohol, junk food, etc. Just don't overdo it.
