Hi Eddie,
In a previous post you asked for input about purchasing a JBL syringe. I hope I am not too late, but I would not waste my money. I tried the JBL, but I found that in the seated position, my sigmoid colon was not straightened out enough to allow for the free flow of the solution. As you do not seem to have difficulty inserting a long colon tube, I think this is a far better and safer way to take a high volume enema. It’s just my opinion, based on my own experience.
You asked for some feedback as to your regular large volume enemas. I personally use a 4 quart enema of normal saline every day, to relieve my IBS and chronic constipation. About once a week I take a full 5 quart enema, in an effort to prevent any further attacks of Diverticulitis (I’ve had four attacks over the last 5 years.) I want to try to work my way up to 6 quarts, as this is the safe maximum which was used for many years in Europe for effectively warding off the development of Diverticulosis in teenagers, in those families with a history of Diverticulitis. Naturally these very full 6 quart enemas are avoided during any attack of Diverticulitis. It is probably wise to rely on a course of antibiotics prescribed by a Medical Doctor for Diverticulitis, before resuming any large volume enemas.
Although I myself, do not see the need for daily enemas of 6 or 7 quarts, I have never read of the many people who have used then daily, of anyone who experienced any harmful complications.
One Certified Colon Therapist, Michael Woods, recommended using a 3 quart enema followed by three 6 quart enemas a day for a month, and then at least twice a week for 6 months to a year or longer, for the treatment of chronic sinusitis. To quote him:-
I know, some people will say that taking as much as 6 quarts is dangerous. That’s not true; as long as you take it slowly you can distend the colon with 6 quarts without vomiting. If you take your water slowly you won’t do any damage, your body can take care of itself.
The reason the 6 quarts are necessary is because the endocrine glands and all ‘elimination systems’ of the body are stimulated when the walls of the colon are stretched without experiencing pain. (Dr Gershon has shown that neurotransmitters are released from the walls of the colon which stimulate the endocrine system and boost the immune system. See ‘The Second Brain’ by Dr. Gershon.)
The 6 quart enemas WILL NOT cause a lazy colon which will require more enemas to make it work. So, don’t be put off taking the regular large-volume enemas and enjoy your new found health and vitality! From Michael Woods – Certified Colonic Hydro-therapist 2007.
Eddie, you state “I can usually feel a fullness in the upper reaches of my colon. After a few minutes of waiting for the fullness to be evacuated, which often it does not, I’m ready for another high volume of six or seven quarts of enema solution.”
This seems to suggest that you are not always expelling all of the previous enema, yet you state that there is never a feeling of nausea, so perhaps these volumes are not a problem for you.
It does not surprise me, that arthritis or stiffness and related discomfort of joints have been relieved in your case. Dr Hay, who popularized the rules of food combining in his Hay Diet, has this to say about the treatment of arthritis:-
“Most important of all, is to empty the colon completely and to keep it daily emptied. This cannot be accomplished by laxatives which never empty the colon, but by high colonic irrigations for three or more consecutive days, followed by once or twice a week irrigations and the daily enema continued indefinitely.”
From “How to always BE WELL” by William Howard Hay M.D. 1967. Groton Press, N.Y.
I hope these quotes from a Certified Colon Therapist and a Medical Doctor will provide some encouragement for you, in your use of regular large volume enemas.
All the Best, Howard, South Africa.
