Mercnbeth -> RE: Enema Question (11/23/2004 2:18:53 PM)

Donn,
Here's maybe more then you want to know on the subject. It was a standard 'handout' for the group I once belonged to. Not an advocate or even a regular practitioner, but you can never have enough information.
I'd suggested carbonated water would not be harmful. Within this guide there isn't a specific reference to carbonated or soda water, but there are a few air incerting versions that would seem similiar. I also had another 'recipe' for a beer enema, which would be similiar.
BE CAREFUL when using any alcohol! Nothing stronger then beer or wine. The subject will get very drunk very fast. Had liquer can cause death! I'd suspect that isn't a desired goal.
So in the spirt of sharing holiday recipies....Hope this helps.
One of our members, Bark, who has considerable medical expertise, created this chart of solutions a couple of years ago. We both thought we'd lost it and were lamenting that fact, but i ran across it on my office computer and now can't find Bark's address to send it to him. Soooo... i thought you might like to use it in the newsletter for the E-SIG which
should both get it to Bark and get it to anyone else who might like it.
