The saline version is useful in treating heat exhaustion or heat stroke. --------------------------------------------------- Isotonic Enemas The Salt Water enema (Saline Enema) is just warm water with one tablespoon of salt to the quart. The salt is to prevent absorption of the water by the colon. It does this by bringing the salts content of the solution closely in balance with that of the body fluids. Thus, transfer of fluids through the colon walls is virtually halted. The baking soda enema (which can also have salt added as above) has one or 2 tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in each quart of water. (A) favorite recipie is one teaspoon of salt and one tablespoon of soda per quart of water. Soapsuds Enemas Soaps: Ivory Bar soap works well. Hold the bar above the top of the bag while the water fills it. For a stronger soapy solution, use a container and swish the water around to dissolve more soap. Ivory Liquid dish-washing detergent should be used in very small amounts, such as one teaspoon per quart. It can be fairly irritating. Castile Enema soap in premeasured packets. Standard packet is 2/3 Oz of soap. Instructions on packet usually say something like : Dilute contents of packet with 1 or 2 quarts of lukewarm water. This is too strong for me, I use it about half that strength. Castile Liquid soap (Dr. Bronner's is one brand). Use about 1 teaspoon for each quart of water. Dr. Bronner's soap is available in plain (green label), with Peppermint (blue label) and with Eucalyptus Oil (brown label). ***** NEVER use **** the Eucalyptus oil ***** in the bowels, it will cause a very bad reaction. ******* The Peppermint oil is a cooling additive, but I prefer the plain Castile soap. If you use any Castile soap, you may want to finish with a plain water enema to prevent any soap from remaining in the bowel to cause irritation. Kirk's Hardwater Castile Soap is a very fast dissolving bar soap. If you hold it in the running water filling the bag, take the soap away when the bag is about half filled, or the solution will be too soapy. Hair Shampoos can be used like soap for enemas. Look at the label, **** don't use any **** with formaldehyde.**** Use a small amount, perhaps a teaspoon per quart or less. Non-soap: Plain tap water can be used, but be warned that your colon will absorb quite a bit of the water, which will dilute the blood electrolytes. Then the various tissues of the body absorb the excess water and swell. Your brain swells, too, and there isn't any place for it to expand into. This is called cerebral edema. A few 2 quart plain water enemas won't do any harm, but if you take large or many enemas, use salt. --------------------------------------------------- Oil Enemas The Oil Retention enema is an injection of about 4-8 fl. Oz. of mineral oil, vegetable oil or olive oil. It is held in the colon for 1 hour or more before a soapy water enema is given. The soapy water enema can be very strong because the oil will protect the colon from irritation. The oil coats the lining of the colon, and also softens the bowel contents, making for a spectacularly powerful evacuation. When the oil is in the colon, do not be fooled by what feels like the urge to expel gas. If you do so, you will expel a blast of dirty oil with it, and it will be a mess. If you absolutely must pass the gas, get into the knee-chest position for one minute, and then hold a piece of toilet paper over the anus, to prevent the release of the oil. Do not expel the oil before taking the soapy water enema. You will need to take at least three soapy enemas to remove all trace of the oil, or dirty oil will leak out of the anus for about 12 hours. --------------------------------------------------- Coffee Enemas Coffee enemas have been used in the past for cleansing. The theory is that the coffee assists the large intestine and liver in getting rid of the toxic substances that have accumulated there. It does seem to work. They are still popular among certain US naturopaths, and are widely available outside the US in specialized clinics. --------------------------------------------------- Exotic Enema Solutions Beer (usually warm) or wine can be used. It is pretty irritating. Obviously, you will get drunk. A word of caution. Use any form of alcohol sparingly. It is absorbed in the intestines much more rapidly than in the stomach, and once it's in the bloodstream, you can't readily get rid of it. Also, whenever alcohol and (play) are mixed, there is increased risk of doing foolish things that compromise... safer practices. Play should be fun, so do play safely. Lemon Juice is said to help dissolve fecal masses. Use 1/3 cup real-lemon per quart, similar to a lemonade recipe. It is also said to dramatically enhance cramping;.... Epsom Salts (2 tablespoons per quart) can be soothing to the colon. AIR can be pumped into the colon. An easy way to do this is to disconnect the hose from the enema bag and insert the nozzle into the anus. Take the other end of the hose into your mouth and blow. Don't mix air and water. If you have taken enemas, make sure you get all the water out before you put the air in. A mixture of water and air in the colon causes terrible cramps. If this ever happens to you, you may have to expel in the bathtub, where the flat position makes it easier for the colon to push the water out without the large air bubbles defeating the peristalsis. Barium Sulfate is injected into the colon for diagnostic purposes. It absorbs X-rays, leaving a picture of the shape of the hollow inside of the colon. Sometimes some of the barium is released and then air (or CO2) is injected. This double contrast enema leaves barium coating the colon wall, and gives a clear but ghostly image of the lining of the colon. Urine... is sometimes used. While you might catch something from the urine of an unhealthy donor, your own won't hurt you. You certainly won't contract any disease from it that you don't already have. In fact, yogis drink their own; and claim great restorative powers for the practice. No question that the practice would at least let you exercise your control over your gag reflex. --------------------------------------------------- Mineral Oil Special I would like to describe a new (for me) enema which I just tried, and I thought went rather well. I used to... take a mineral oil enema about an hour before I took a soapy water enema, and the evacuations were wonderful, but holding 6 Ozs. of oil for an hour was not the most pleasant way to do it. The writer described a method of pouring the oil into a colon tube, and then connecting the colon tube to the bag of soapy water. I improvised with the equipment I had available in the following manner. First I slid a standard enema bag-type steel clamp onto the colon tube. I attached a small funnel to the end of the colon tube. Holding the colon tube at both ends, and with the clamp open, I slowly poured vegetable oil into the funnel, slowing down when I guessed that the oil was about to reach the end you insert into the rectum. When the ... oil did reach that end, I closed the metal clamp. The few drops of oil that made it out of the tip of the tube were smeared all over the end of the tube, and I inserted it into my anus, while lying on my back. I slid it up as far as it was easy to insert. I then filled the funnel with oil and raised it, and then opened the clamp. As the oil level dropped, I refilled the funnel twice. This was a very small funnel, so I probably got about 4 ounces of oil into me. When the funnel was empty, I clamped the tube, removed the funnel and attached the tube from an already filled enema bag to the colon tube. I then opened the clamp and the soapy water rushing in pushed the oil farther up into my bowel, as I pushed the colon tube farther in. ....., and I held the soapy water and oil in for ten full minutes. As before, holding the oil for an hour and then getting the soapy water enema, I had a terrific evacuation that seemed to leave me cleaned out much better than just a standard soapy water enema. But this method didn't require the holding of the oil for an hour to get the same great result. After using the oil, I always take 3 soapy water enemas to get all of the oil out. If I don't take three soapy enemas I tend to leak oil from the rectum for several hours, which makes a bit of a mess.... it's a little hard to wait that long, but the results are worth it! I try to take as much water as possible for (this) enema .... and make it a little hotter than the ones that went before. This enema technique also seems to cause less irritation of the anus, which I sometimes have trouble with, especially when I have to strain to get it all out. This enema comes out with a gush and no straining.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From ???@??? Fri Sep 22 16:21:55 2000 File From: " R.
