Homemade Colonic Equipment

I had my weekly colonic tonight. I used my thirteen gallon

tank, which is a clear storage tub/cady, a 3/8 inch inlet

hose and a 5/8" garden hose to deposit the effluent into the toilet. Mine is a gravity driven closed tube system

and works great. It is also much cheaper than the same

therapy given by a practitioner who charges eighty to a

hundred dollars for an hour session. It took an hour to take the equivalent of approx. 17 enemas and left me cleaned out and invigorated.

I wonder if any of you use this therapy? If so, please

write about it.

I made my home colonic by fitting a 3/8" 6ft. plastic hose to my shower hose. I put a colon tube on the end and adjust the water to flow slow and warm. I can sit on the john and let the water flow in and out for as long as want.

Hi, regarding home colonics I have a friend who has made his own colonic apparatus, (I have a "Hydrosan" model C in my bathroom and he has copied the features of this.

He has a flexible hose from the shower head which is adjustable for flow and temperature and this attaches to the nozzle. The nozzle he uses are professional colonic speculums obtainable from Specialty Health Products in Phoenix or also from Dotolo in Florida. These speculum kits cost about $5-00 each and despite only being for single use can be used several times with proper sterilization. The one piece speculum is best for self administration however if you have assistance the two part speculum is OK Personally I prefer te one piece. The outflow pipe goes directly to the drain and all you have to do is lay back and enjoy

I too use the Health Specialty Products speculum since I

find the Dotolo unit impossible with its insertion device.

I recognize the use once and dispose request as a health and security measure.

However,, like your friend, I feel that

since I am the only using it, I am only exposing myself to

my own diseases! The weakness in multiple use of these

specula is the discharge tube which tends to fail after

being flexed. Also i have experienced the discharge hose

seperating form the speculum with the back pressure that can come from a cramp.

To my setup, I have also added a higgenson type for

an extra pulse and also to prevent reflux into the inlet

tube.

Your Hydrosan unit sounds fantastic and I wish I could

have one. At the same time, I think the gravity method

works closely to a good second best. Either way I do

very much enjoy lying on my back while the relaxing,

warming and filling water flows in and out almost

effortlessly.

Thanks for your reply

I too have a Model C Hydrosan professional Colon Therapy unit I purchased over 10 years ago. This unit is sold by Specialty Health of Phoenix. I also enrolled in their training program I too do at least 1 colonic session a week and sometime one every other day until I feel well cleaned out.

I usually spend at least an hour for each session. I use either the one piece speculum but also enjoy the size and feel of their contoured speculum as it is larger and easier to keep in the rectum and is easier to hold the water.

I cant remember counting the number of fillups but am sure that it is more than 20 each session.

I usually end up masturbating every time so this is a really enjoyable time for me.

I have done colonics at home using a 5 gallon drinking fountain water bottle (not use for fountain any longer), sinking a 3/8 inch hose to the bottom with a weight and starting a siphon. I tied a string around the douche nozzle which went around my shoulder. Worked great! I laid in the the bathtub and just expelled as I needed to.

Hello Corky. Your post brought a question and a suggestion. First comes the question. Specialty Health of Phoenix sells both the one piece spec, which I use because of its ease of insertion, and one with an arburtor, which I can't use solo.

Question: Is the contoured spec you mentioned, the one with the arbutor?

Now my suggestion: I was taught by a practitioner in southern California to use a plastic ribbon or cord wrapped around the speculum. The two loose ends then slip into the crack of your butt after insertion to keep the spec from being pushed out. I assume that you already do this, but I wanted to pass it along in case you don't.

Hi K2. In answer to your question the contoured speculum does use an obatour for insertion.

I do colonics solo and have never had a problem inserting the 2 piece speculum. I just insert it, pull out the obutour and then connect the hose. But like you, I too like the one piece as it is easier to insert.

When I took the training they taught us to cut off the top edge of the absorbadent pad and tie it to the hose and then put under the clients hips and the speculum will stay in without any problems.

Over the years, I had several different types of home made colonic units. Some I just ran a hose from the shower head and lying in the tub ran the discharge hose into the tubs drain and by squeezing the discharge hose would fill up and then release. Worked OK. Other times I used a 5 gallon bucket and ran the discharge hose into the toilet.

I guess when you get desperate enough you can make most anything work.

Good Luck! Corky

I have invented and perfected a device even better than that and it is indeed wild to feel inside you

Hello Tummypro:

Could you elaborate on your ’better’ and ’wild’ device. I tried to access your previous posts (where you may have already provided the details of your invention) but some recent changes to the enemas4fun site are now making this impossible.

Thanks, Rubbertube

Ya this little toy has uncovered a whole hidden inner world it has taken a few years to figure out but now i have found what many are looking for it has opened the door to many good things including reinventing the whole colon viewing devices ......not sure if i can put my email up on here or not but if ur interested in more discussion its boostbros at aol dot com

Hello everyone I am searching for plans to make a home colonic machine. The type I'm looking for is a closed system which eliminates through the tube and not the board type. If anyone has plans or knows of somebody who has plans I would appreciate it for any help you could give me.

One of the first things your going to need is an enema nozzle made for this.

Anyone administer colonics at home? I'd like to do them but the starting cost is a bit high.

I use a gravity set up consisting of a 14 gallon tank filled

from a bathroom faucet with a garden hose. A 3/8 inch clear

plastic tube siphons the water from the tank into a specialty

health products speculum. I have a Higginson type in line

pump to start the siphon, measure the volume of water taken

during a fill and pulsing the water, if I desire. The discharge

from the speculum goes into a corrugated 1 inch clear plastic

tube where I can monitor the effluent and thence into a garden

hose leading into the toilet bowl. It's really quite simple

and more important, it works! I am planning on using it tonight.

With commercial Colon Hydrotherapy equipment costing upward

of six thousand dollars I have constructed and use a gravity

system that I have used now for several years. My total cost

for the system comes to less than twenty dollars. Iconsists

of a 15 gallon R*bber M*id plastic tank, some tubing and

commercial speculum.

My questions are:

1. Are there any members on this board who, like me,do solo

colonics at home.

2. If you do, what kind of equipment do you use and if it is

home constructed, please describe it. Also please tell

us about the results that you get.

I've made two complete sets of colonic gear. One is primarily for home use and the other for travels. My original home use configuration consisted of a board with a baffle made from a bucket cut in half lengthwise for my butt to lay against and a 5 gallon plastic bucket that I can set on a shelf in my bathroom to hold the water. I was fortunate to find an older Colema board at a garage sale for $10 some years back so that has replaced the board with the baffle. The travel unit has a folding baffle/board that is smaller that I can place on a chair in front of the toilet in the motel room. I have designed it so it will fold and fit into a larger plastic ice chest which I also use as a water reservoir. I have a small submersible electric pump that I use to move the water. I'm like you, in that I don't think I've got more than $30 in either of the rigs, not including the cost of the ice chest. They both work great. I need to get some pictures to post. I've had a couple female friends try both of them and their reaction is they work as good as any expensive colonic and can be a lot more fun!

Yes i have always made my own equipment now its much better than boughten stuff i ran a hose from the bathroom sink up stairs to a hanging 5 gallon sunshower(20.00) i zipped the bag inside an old snowmobile coat so it stays warm about 8 hrs i can fill or drain the bag from the sink so i never have to carry it! then i use a inline solenoid pump that has flow with out pressure i control that from a long remote kinda like a dimmer switch so i can go from 0 flow to full without moving i also use a digital flow meter that reads flow gph and amount recently i added a clear site chamber its a plexiglass tube 2 inch by 10 inch i also machined in red and blue led lights so it really glows it seems to oxygenate the water its really neat. i machined an alum nozzle with a drybreak fitting 2' away, a marine primer bulb acts as a one way check valve so no reverse flow its simple and works fantastic i use it every day

Tummypro -- What kind of solenoid pump did you use? I'm quite interested. Years back when I was in another house I put an insulated reservoir in the attic and had it arranged so I could fill it via a couple of valves. It had an overflow so when it was full I could see the water coming from it going to a drain. Held about 8 gallons. Also had a remote reading digital thermostat so I could tell what temp I was filling it. Tell more about your nozzle, please.

About an hour ago I constructed a colonic system. I am about 2/3rds complete with taking it in. Thought I would take a moment to post about it. It is constructed similarly to the colonic machine listed on instructables.com, I used a board, 1" x 18" x 48" Cut out a rectangular hole to hold the splash guard, which consists of an inverted bucket which I removed the side of, so I could release into and down the toilet it would go. drilled a 3/8 hole into the back to insert the hose from a Cara brand combination set. that hose leads into same sets hose connector that is attached to a 5 gallon bucket where I drilled a hole into the bottom and hot glued it in. The bucket was filled to the brim with a solution of warm water, salt, and peppermint castile soap. Taking the nozzle, which is the douche nozzle, I lubed it and my rectum up with vaseline. I also used duct tape to hold the hose to the side of the bucket since my first expulsion sent the nozzle out. Right now I feel refreshed, tingly all over, and clear minded. During some of the releases I smelt bad gas which I can feel some still moving around inside of me, but as I am not done, and I plan on filling it up and finishing it, I still have a fun evening left ahead of me. Thanks for reading and GOD bless.

Are there any pressure devices that will put out two quarts at a time-lije a large bulb type?

I made a very simple device. i attach a small wrench to one end of plastic tubing with duct tape. i sink that end in a bucket of water which sits on a stool. the other end is attached to a urinary catheter (which of course will be used as a rectal speculum). i start the siphon action with my mouth and then the cath goes into the rectum.the fecal matter can then come out around the cath. this is essentially what dr bernard jensen describes and which he calls a "colema". colema is a cross between a colonic and an enema. i still need one hand to hold the spec in and i would like to have a way to control the flow. sabicas

K2, you say that the loose ends of the plastic ribbon go into the butt crack. i cant imagine how it would have the the force needed to stay in. would the ribbon be sticky like tape so that it sticks to spec and the butt crack. yes! this relates to my prob of having both hands free to massage the abdomin. sabicas

Well, i finally figured out how to get back to this forum. as i said before, i really do a colemaand not an enema. but i can see the advantage of holding the water for a while. i got my ideas from dr bernard jensen. he gives three suggestions as to what to put into the water.---

1. garlic juice. you blend and then strain garlic. 2. chloryfil you can make that by just blendingand then straining parsley or some other green. 3. flax tea. you boil flax and then strain.well, as i said before i siphon from a bucket that sits on a stool. the other end of the plastictubing attaches to a urinary catheter. well, i still want some ideas about how to stop the flowso that i can hold it for a while. there is the clamp that you pinch. but i find that hard to work.also i need one hand to hold the cath in. any suggestions?

Hi all, as i said before i use a urinary catheter as a speculum. the catheters come in various sizes. thesize refers to the cross section. i use number 18. the unit is called "french". i do not know where that word comes from.if i get a catheter without the foley(that is something that is used to keep the cath in the bladder when it is used as acath), it has a horn on the output end and one end of plastic tubing can fit into that "horn".i attach the other end of the plastictubing to a small wrench so that it will stay in a bucket of water or some other liquid. then i use my mouth to start a siphon action. sometimes i wonder if i would do better if i got a special speculum from specialty health. i guess i would orderit from amazon.com.

I made my own set-up with plastic pipe fittings, threaded hose barbs,and clear plastic tubing from the home improvement store. The speculum is 2 pieces of 3/4" plastic pipe joined with a coupling ground and sanded smooth. When inserted past the coupling, the larger diameter of the coupling helps hold it in. Attached a 3/4" hose barb for the clear drain hose and drilled and tapped it for a 3/8" hose barb for the hose from my enema bag.

I happened to have a ball valve for the end of the drain hose. I siphon from an elevated 5 gallon bucket and drain into another 5 gallon bucket. I can control the in-flow with the enema hose clamp and the out-flow with the valve.

Hi enemalover, i wonder if i understand your setup. you say you have 2 pieces of plastic tubing joined by a coupling. are the 2 pieces parallel where clean water comes in thru one and feces comes out thruthe other. in that case you would have what is called the "closed system". quite an accomplishment ifyou made that yourself. or are the 2 pieces in series. in that case you have what is called the "open system"and the feces comes out from around the speculum and into the open air. still an accomplishment.

No, just two pieces of pipe in series. The coupling is about 1" from the tip, when it goes in the insertion depth is just about right and it helps prevent slipping. At the outer end there is a hose barb to connect the 3/4" drain tube. just above the hose barb the side of the pipe is drilled and tapped with a 1/8" pipe tap for a 1/4" hose barb for the water supply hose. Its a combination of glued and theaded plastic pipe fittings.The clamp from an enema set controls the in-flow, and I have a ball valve on the end of the drain hose to control the out-flow. I alternate the in-flow and out-flow. It is pretty much a home made version of a commercial speculum

It is a closed system. I have a well equipped home shop. I got all of the parts at the home improvement store except the ball valve. i had that laying around my shop. You can just clamp the drain hose in place of the valve.The only specialzed tool is the pipe tap and you can usually find those at a home improvement store as well.
