• PVC or Silicone? at 8/24/11 8:41 PM
  • Hi Dr Ben, which tubing is safer? PVC or Silicone? If I want it to benefit inflammation in "Ascending Colon", will enema helps since it does not reach the deepest ascending colon?
    
    Thank you. Eric.
  • Hi Eric - Silicone is definitely safer than PVC. PVC is ok to use for those who are using only water enemas or performing enemas infrequently. Silicone enema tubing is easier to clean (you can boil it and oils do not stick to it) and it does not leach any toxins no matter the type of fluid going through or the pH. Enemas can definitely help heal the ascending colon. What I recommend doing is having a bowel movement first and then performing the enema in this manner: 1) Fill the enema bucket with 1 quart of filtered water and a pinch of salt or electrolytes: http://www.healthegoods.com/electrolyte-concentrate-20-fl-ounces-bottle-bodybio.html 2) Take a regular enema and flush out as much as you can. 3) Refill the enema bucket with 2 cups of filtered water, a capful of Electrolyte Concentrate, open and empty a couple capsules of Cal/Mag Butyrate, 1 teaspoon of ProBiota 12 Powder and 2 teaspoons of Intestinal Repair Complex and open and empty a capsule of Curcumin 97. Mix well. You can find these all at HealthE Goods by searching their names. 4) Insert the 2 cups of fluid into your rectum while laying on your left side or on all fours - whatever is most comfortable for you. 5) Once the 2 cups of fluid is in your rectum, do the yoga Shoulder stand. You may feel the 2 cups of fluid reach the transverse colon. 6) Come down and out of the Shoulder stand while bringing your legs and torso down onto your right side. Then lay on your right side for some time - as long as you can. If you can lay on a slight incline so the fluid stays down in the ascending colon, this is ideal. 7) The fluid will be hard to get out as it will be all the way in your ascending colon but that is ok. The point is to get the contents there and allow them to heal the area. 8) Do this daily until you feel very well. Do not exceed 2 weeks of doing this daily. If you want to do longer than two weeks, make sure you take a few days rest between. Avoid Wheat, Dairy and processed foods. Make sure to take ProBiota 12 Powder (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) nightly after dinner for one month and then reduce to 1/8th teaspoon after that. Also be sure to take Cal/Mag Butyrate internally as well (3 capsules before breakfast and 3 before bed). In health, Dr Ben

• safe when pregnant or lactating? at 10/22/11 3:50 PM
  • Is it safe to do coffee enemas when pregnant or lactating?
    
    Thank you!
  • Hello there - It is not recommended at all to do coffee enemas while pregnant - absolutely not. While lactating and performing the coffee enemas under the instruction and guidance of a physician, I'd say yes. If not, then I'd say no. The issue is if you take a coffee enema and do not properly eliminate the toxic bile you are releasing, then it can get reabsorbed and into your blood stream - which makes its way into your milk. I am well versed in coffee enemas and know how to reduce the reabsorption of bile. If you'd like to schedule a consult, you may do so here: http://www.healthegoods.com/consult.html In health, Dr Ben

• Are enemas safe after full recovery from diverticulitis attack? at 11/18/11 9:22 AM
  • Two months ago I had my very first diverticulitis attack - up until then I had no idea that I had diverticulosis. No bleeding, fortunately. I was placed on antibiotic for 10 days. I feel fine now. Given that I have diverticulosis that flared up to diverticulitis on one occassion, would an enemas helf prevent a future attack? If so, how often, and should it be a low pressure [e.g. bag or can low] enema? Please give me some guidance on this as to frequency, fluid volume, height etc.
    
    Thank you!

  • Hi Phil - Definitely need to get on a potent probiotic. I recommend you consider ProBiota 12 Powder. Consider taking 1/2 teaspoon after dinner until the bottle is gone. http://www.healthegoods.com/pro-biota-12-powder-maximum-support-200-billion-cfus-twelve-species-60-grams-seeking-health.html Then switch to ProBiota 12 capsules and take 1 capsule after dinner on an on-going basis. http://www.healthegoods.com/probiota-12-maximum-support-50-billion-cfus-twelve-species-probiotic-60-vegetarian-capsules-seeking-health.html Enemas may help prevent a future attack. You need to go back 2 months ago and look at what your diet was like - then take note and try to reduce those foods. I would not use an enema catheter as it could get stuck in the diverticuli. Instead, use only the enema tips. Most commonly diverticuli are found in the lower area of the large intestine. Read this: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/diverticulosis/ I would use normal flow and not perform enemas more than once a week unless directed by your doctor. Have the enema kit no higher than about 18 inches off the floor. Use filtered water with about a teaspoon of sea salt per quart of water. Make sure to heal your constipation if that is an issue. The probiotics are critical. I also highly recommend you consider Cal/Mag Butyrate and take 3 capsules twice daily with meals. Keep it in your freezer as they don't smell that great but they are AMAZINGLY healing for the colon. http://www.healthegoods.com/cal-mag-butyrate-100-capsules-body-bio.html You can also mix some probiotic and butyrate into the enema solution for a faster healing effect. Do not perform enemas when you have diverticulitis - when it is hurting and in the active state. In health, Dr Ben
