Spring Cleaning Juice Fast – Day 3
The Magic of Enemas and Colonics
By Steve Prussack
Host of Raw Vegan Radio
Tonight’s blog is going to focus on the magic and glory of the enema/ colonic. My third day of juice fasting met with discomfort for much of the day. I woke up feeling fine as far as cold symptoms go, but a low-grade headache continued into the day. It got progressively worse, to the point where I just couldn’t work anymore. I decided it was time to do an enema.
There are misconceptions and weird opinions with regard to enemas and colonics. I realize this is not an easy topic, and many people just don’t want to talk about it. We live in a society where we announce we are going to use the bathroom but never discuss what actually goes on when we are in there. Don’t worry, I’m not going to provide pictures or grotesque descriptions. But I think this is a topic worthy of discussion, because it is the very thing that alleviated my intense headache. Quite frankly, enemas are magic. The enema worked much faster and efficiently then taking an Advil or Motrin. There is no doubt that enemas (and colonics) could heal what ails you. Not only that, they are essential when doing a cleanse.
I admit the idea of enemas always scared me somewhat. Like most men, the idea of a tube going inside me didn’t quite thrill me. I thought enemas were something only geriatric patients use, when they are incontinent in a nursing home. I think many people still feel that way. If you are someone serious about healing and experiencing health beyond your dreams, an enema (and colonic) is a must.
So what happened after your enema?
Once I did my enema today, I wish I had done it sooner. I am going to try a coffee enema another time during the week, but this time it was just a straight-up enema with filtered water. It was more than enough to alleviate my symptoms and rid my body of some serious waste. What surprised me the most was how much mucous came out during my enema. This was the kind of stuff you blow out your nose, or spit out when you are burdened with a terrible cold. Actually, it was the very mucous that was coming out my body yesterday when I was experiencing my first healing crises on this cleanse.
When I finished my enema, not only was the headache completely gone, but I was left with a feeling of total euphoria. Pure joy. Happiness. For no other reason then my body was thanking me. Do you enjoy a glass of wine when things get stressful? Try an enema, along with a few days on nothing but juice. I have never experienced anything even close to this feeling, and I had my share of drinking back when I was a college “fraternity boy” (yes brothers of TKE—try an enema!). What a great feeling to know that you can experience a natural high, while still be grounded and clear.
I am surprised to be cleansing this much on day 3, but came to realize today that juice fasting is an accumulated effect. I juice fasted for 23 days a few months ago, and it seems my body has picked up right where I left off! You would think I might have to start all over again. Instead, your body continues the work you started to begin with. That is why I recommend quarterly juice fasts. Four juice fasts a year are a great way to experience boundless energy, sparkling eyes, sweet breath (even when you wake up in the morning), and a trim waistline.
I have lost 10 pounds of unwanted mucous, toxins, and other debris in just 3 days. I know this is not the result for everyone. But if you try doing intermittent fasting, each juice fast will get better and better. My eyes are starting to get brighter again too.
When we have a seasonal cold, it is actually a a build up of mucous your body tries to get it out as quickly as possible. Next time you are suffering cold or flu symptoms, try doing a few enemas (or colonics)? It will speed up your recovery and might even make you feel better right away!
What other ailments can enemas and colonics help with?
Studies have shown that enemas can alleviate such problems including lower backaches, indigestion, flatulence, acidity, chronic constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. Enemas can even help address psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, irritability and other neuroses.
I don’t recommend just any enema though. Those Fleet enemas in the pharmacy are terrible and NOT recommended. Here is where I found the most incredible enema kit, which included a stainless steel bucket and top-quality tubing. You can find out all about it here:
