How to stop absorbing a plain water enema

How does one prevent the absorption of a plain water enema into your system when trying to hold it for a long time? I usually get dizzy and noxious after a while.

Add 9 grams (about 2 teaspoons) of table salt per quart or liter of water.

If you still get dizzy, the absorption isn't the problem.

In some people, intra-abdominal pressure can cause nausea and dizziness.

How long is "holding for a long time"?? More information is needed. There are MANY variables.

Is that right, Susie, that intra-abdominal pressure can cause dizziness? I didn't know that. Can it also cause a "hot" feeling? Because I've tried a small air enema before with a little bit of air introduced from squeezing a bag and I got a slightly warm feeling in my head and body, similar to what I got with a water enema. So the common factor was the pressure.

I had my first water enema (2 quarts) ever last year and experienced similar symptoms to what Pirate1 said -- dizziness and light-headedness. I did not use salt in the water. It kind of put me off of enemas although I have tried smaller ones without salt and one or two that were about a quart or a little more with salt in it with no problems other than that hot feeling I mentioned.

Does anyone know what the difference is between an enema and a colonic in terms of the amount of water that is absorbed and the potential ill effects that can have? Of course the remedy for water absorption in an enema is to add salt but in a colonic that is not done, so I would assume that a lot of water is absorbed. But I have heard that since the water doesn't stay in you that long but goes out through the exhaust tube without you retaining it, you don't absorb that much in a colonic. Which is correct?

Some baking soda plus sea-salt will serve to prevent colon absorption.

I always pee more when I'm doing an enema.

The ssame for me Blue64.Everytime I pee a lot and I noticed the water quantity that drain from me is smaller than I flow in.

Is it safe to use regular cranberry juice in place of water for a 1 quart enema?

Long ago, I discovered that plain water absorbs right into me, and I have frequent urination for hours. It kills a restful night's sleep. I had severe cramps using soda, and I don't much care for salt. Neither the soda or salt expelled very easily.

What I finally discovered, is that Dr Bronners mild castile soap works great for me. I know it's not recommended to use soap for your last enema, but I've been using them for many years now, and I never have any ill effects, even during periods of frequent, or even daily enemas.

This topic is rehashed on a some what regular basis and still there is a great deal of miss miss-understanding....so here is what i know to be true.::

1)THE normal electrolyte (salt) content of blood is 0.9% by weight- 9 grams per liter (approx 2 tea spoons)...enemas with low electrolytes cause water to be absorbed and salts are removed from the blood,,, excess salt in the enema will draw water out of the blood and cause salt to be absorbed......

1A)Electrolytes are needed by the body include sodium, potasium, magnesium, calcium..and a few other trace elements.....

2)The colon lining is capable of 2-way transfer of water & electrolytes - that is toxins, water and salt all transfer in or out of the colon based on osmotic pressure-density....

3)The colon can normally transfer/absorb 1/2 to 1 liter per hour...studies have been done that show blood electrolyte levels before, during and after colonic irrigation (repeated filling and draining for 60 minutes) using pure water, that shows no significant changes in electrolyte levels during the test..

4)Retention enemas have been used as a form of dialysis throughout history and even now in third world countrys because is does not require the sterile conditions required by hemodialysis. In other words, the enema may be retained for long periods if desired if properly understood...

5)Enemas by definition desolve and mobilize toxins that are present in the colon,, and if allowed to be reabsorbed can make a person ill..

6)Persons who have done several enemas over a period of several hours have upset their electrolye balance with desasterous results..edema(swelling of the brain) and cardiac arrest can result..

7)Persons with normal kidney function will quickly remove excess water..thats why folks pee a lot after their enemas...

😎Soap is a hot topic with people lined up on both sides of it...personally, I quit using soap years ago when I discovered that I could actually taste the soap because I had absorbed it from the enema,, yuk!----the only reason for soap is to irritate the colon..(which is a way helps to minimize water retention by causing cramps)..soap is not needed for disolving wastes..

9)The colon has no digestive enzymes but it can absorb most any liquid used as an enema. Herbal teas, juices, coffee, and live yogurts, have all been used for implant enemas after the colon has been flushed out.

10)When the colon is distended/expanded (intra-abdominal pressure) by the enema it stimulates the autonomic nerves system and increases peristalsys..the vagus nerve connects to every internal organ and to the "lizard brain"...

just a few things to consider...

btw-is anyone in oregon?
