Re: Plaque (and 'enema publication')

January 17, 2008

Thank you Pam, Don and others who have written on and off list about the

benefits of gently taken enemas, and I am most gratified that you found the

publication helpful. I am most supportive of a combination of regular in-home

enema colon cleansing and occasional 'colonics' taken from a colon

hydrotherapist. Enemas and colonics are by no means mutually exclusive and, in

fact, are most complementary.

Until illness intervened in my life, I was a home health nurse for years and

took care of many many patients on one type or another of bowel programs,

including some people who had 'slow colon' conditions. I had grown up with

enemas taught to me from a very very young age by my grandmother -- the gentle,

slow approach and non-traumatic approach shall we say and so I had a total

comfort with enemas even before I became a nurse. In the 1990s I had a couple of

patients who required care over several years from time to time and who actually

encouraged me to do an 'illustrated' book. That is what led to " Basic In-Home

Colon Cleansing: An Illustrated Guide " (which turned out to be a CD/ROM

presentation of slides with text and a couple hundred photos).

That project is oriented to adults, not enemas for children. However, I have

always wanted to do a project on enemas for children, the proper way to teach

children to take enemas and become comfortable with enemas. My health situation

is erratic, and so I'm not sure that I will get an illustrated book/CD done but

I do hear from so many people who fear enemas because of childhood experiences,

especially parents and caregivers giving enemas in what I believe is improper

and, often, counterproductive technique. I also have wanted to do a publication

on 'advanced' enemas and colon cleansing but, again, my health is an issue and

my energy is limited. However, the person who produced the CD/ROM may be able to

work with my writings, original tape recordings and other materials to assemble

publications. The Internet is a wonderful tool for possible audio-visual

distribution of such things although I am far from being a 'techhie.'

My grandmother taught me to 'give my colon a bath' and gave me control of the

enema bag and flow from a very young age, and that was a really shrewd move on

her part in that the enema became my friend from the age of 4 years old on.

Re: Plaque

I agree, Edie's first publication is a classic, and I loved her

emphasis on being gentle and safe, taking enemas in a quiet

comfortable place, and giving the body time to adjust. She has

brought the enema to a state of peace and joy, not a traumatic

experience to be feared. I, too, am a 'bottom up' cleanser, not

wishing to take any chemicals orally, even so-called 'natural' ones.

Thanks to Edie's book, though, I can now relax in the process of

taking enemas, viewing it now as rejuvenating 'quiet time' to

nourish my health.
