Colemas
complete colon flushing with water
A colema, also known as a high enema since it
delivers the water deeper into the colon, functions similar in application
to an enema. While an enema delivers a small amount of solution
that is held and released as able, a colema delivers a continuous
flow of water. A bucket that holds three to five gallons is used
for a colema. As you can see in the photos, a special colema board
is used to do the colon flush. The primary reason for the board
is because the water must flow continuously into the colon. You
are still supposed to hold the solution as it runs into the colon,
but in a colema, the water is always flowing and when you can’t
hold it anymore, you release it. As you can see in the photos, your
bottom is held against the part of the board over the toilet. As
you release the solution, it runs right into the toilet. The tip
inserted into the anus in a colema is actually smaller than the
one used with the enema. Because of the amount of solution, the
process can take up to 45 minutes depending on how fast you have
the water flowing. Since a colema uses much more water, the continual
Surge of water flows further and further into the colon. For this
reason it is called a high enema. A colema is much more thorough
than an enema. Some say it takes seven enemas to get the results
of one colema, but I wonder if an enema can ever achieve the results
a colema will.
“It's like changing the oil in your car,”
says Guy Hopkins, the 60-year-old owner of The Spa Resort on the
Thai island of Koh Samui, whose eyes glint with evangelical zeal
when he talks about colonic irrigation. “If you don't do it
every so often, your body isn't going to run that well. We constantly
put the wrong fuel in our bodies and, sure, they keep on going,
but cleanse yourself and you'll be amazed how much better you'll
feel.”

REVIEW OF COLEMA SETUP FOR PRIVATE USE
Perform the following at least one time each day to enhance the
action of the cleansing and the
You will need a colema cleansing kit, which includes the board,
bucket, hose and colema tip. You can investigate your own sources,
but http://www.mannaharvest.net/index.php/cPath/1780_1995
has the set for $210 + shipping at the time this was written. You
can use it over and over, simply purchase extra tips for other people
that might use the board.
Water is the basic solution, but if you choose something from the
options below, you will need the ingredients.
You will desire a bit of lubricant, such as olive oil or KY jelly.
A pillow and soft pad or old blanket to place on the board for added
comfort is recommended.
Perhaps a book or soft music as the process will take you 45-60
minutes to complete your flush.
1. Situating the colema board.
The colema board should have a hole in one end of it. This
end will rest in a centered position over the toilet bowl.
It is best to have the toilet seat raised. The other end of
the board will rest on a solid chair. It is best to have a
slight elevation on the end of the board that sits on the
chair (perhaps an inch or two.) You will be lying on this
board, so try to make a stable condition with your board and
your chair. If your bathroom is too small to accommodate the
colema setup as mentioned, you can use a 5 gallon bucket in
the place of a toilet and simply empty the bucket when you
are finished. |
2. Placing the bucket. The
solution (generally contained in a 3-5 gallon bucket) should
be situated so that the bottom of the bucket is anywhere from
20-40+ inches above the colema board. You may want to place
your bucket in its position and then fill it with your solution
rather than filling it first and having to lift the filled
bucket to your desired position. |
3. Making your solution.
You can do some research and use any solution you want. You
will need to prepare at least three gallons total, but as
many as five gallons are recommended if you have a bucket
that will hold that amount. Most water temperatures for giving
Colonics range from cool to very warm, but should be a comfortable
temperature for the individual user. You can test it by putting
some on your wrist, the way you might test a baby bottle,
or stick your elbow in the water and see how it feels. Here
are some suggestions for solutions: |
| |
- Warm water. This is the most original
option, the most common. Just plain, clean water heated
to a warm temperature.
|
| |
- Diluted coffee is the second most effective
solution. If you have a history of liver difficulties, joint
problems, inflammation, pain, brown age spots, skin conditions
or any chronic condition, you may want to use this option.
Make two cups of coffee at regular strength as if you were
going to drink it, making sure the coffee is steeped or
perked, not instant. You will be adding these two cups of
coffee to your 3-5 gallons of water, so it will be very
diluted. If you have no adverse reactions, which means pain
of some kind, you may increase the amount of coffee until
up to half of your total solution is coffee. Keep in mind
that the more coffee you use, the more “awake”
you may be, so don’t do it at night if this will be
a problem.

- Water and minced garlic is often used
if you suspect a lot of parasites. There are a lot of people
blaming all kinds of health conditions on parasites. I don’t
often agree, so a sign I might use would be itching, particularly
rectal itching or any kind of twitching. If you have these
symptoms, you might consider 6-10 cloves of garlic minced
very small and then mixed into your bucket of water. Chunks
of garlic could clog up your colema tube, so it is best
to put the garlic in a blender with a cup or two of water,
strain it after blending and put the water in your colema
solution. Mix well! Concentrated garlic in the lining of
the intestine will probably cause some irritation.

| |
- One tablespoon of Epsom Salts dissolved
in 5 gallons of water can be a good colema if you have a
history of constipation. The attributes of this salt can
help the muscles of the colon relax and may work to draw
certain kinds of toxins from the body. If you have skin
issues, Epsom salt may be a good option.
|
| |
- Lemon Juice. A quarter cup of strained
lemon juice in your solution is another option. This is
particularly good if you know you have had an extreme acid
condition (pH).
|
| |
- Herbs. If you know the action or affinity
of an herb, feel free to use it in the water solution. The
best way would be to find the raw or dried version of the
herb, anywhere from 1-4 cups of it. Generally, you would
want to bring several cups of water to a boil, then turn
the stove off. Add the raw herb and let it steep in the
water for at least 20 minutes. Depending on the nature of
the herb used, you may need to actually boil the herb (may
apply to bark and roots). Once complete, strain through
a cheese cloth and add to your bucket of solution.

4. Getting comfortable on the
board. You will be lying on the board for 45 minutes,
maybe more, so you will want to create a comfortable position.
If you place an old towel or pad on the board, but keep it
8-12 inches from the hole that is over the toilet. Place a
pillow or two at the end of the board farthest from the toilet.
When everything seems to be in position, put your lubricant
(olive oil or KY jelly) in reaching distance from the board.
Put the tip of the hose over the hole in the colema board
and slowly open the bull clip allowing all the air to run
out of the hose. When you see the solution emerging, shut
the bull clip. Turn on your music or put your book on the
pillow. You are now ready to lay on the board. The most important
part is that you have your feet on the board on either side
of the board (as seen in the photo) with your bottocks tightly
sealed against the buttock support of the board over the toilet
bowl. Before you get your final position, you will need to
insert the tip into the anus, but you should make sure you
know just where your final position will be first. The water
will be flowing into the rectum and colon and then eliminated.
When elimination occurs, you want the waste to flow down the
opening into the toilet, not all over the board or on the
floor. Get a tight fitting position and get comfortable, you
are now ready to begin. |
5. Beginning the colema. The
end of the hose should have a tip that is about 6 inches long.
This is only inserted about 3 inches into the rectum. It may
be wisest to place your fingers about three inches from the
end of the tip, lubricate the tip a little bit and insert
until your fingers meet your hind end. This way you assure
you have not pushed the tip too far. To insert the entire
tip may be fine for some, but for others it may push against
the delicate intestinal lining causing harm. You cannot insert
the tip while your buttock is tight against the buttock support,
so once the tip is inserted, position the hose either between
your legs or out to the side under one leg and slide down
the Board until the buttocks touches the edges of the buttock
support. When ready, open the clamp to allow the solution
to flow freely into the colon. Open it ever so slightly at
first so you can acclimate to the experience without feeling
too much stress. The goal is to hold the solution in the colon.
Open it a bit more as able. The faster the solution moves,
the faster the colema solution will be spent and the colema
will be over. |
6. Relax, hold and eliminate.
It does not work if you do not relax. Start massaging upward
on the left side (descending colon). If you find tender, sore
spots, continue to massage that area until the tenderness
is gone. Continue upwards just below the ribs, then across
just below the ribcage (transverse colon), and down the right
side (ascending colon). Try to eliminate sensitive areas as
you proceed. When it becomes necessary to evacuate, simply
relieve the bowel by expelling the water. The Fetal matter
will bypass the tip allowing normal bowel action, without
removing the tip or changing your position. After you evacuate,
continue to hold the solution and repeat this process until
the bucket is empty. |
