Hello #110149,
Waterbugs reply to your post is quite right.
Enemas are only recommended in extreme cases of chronic constipation prior to the fast, and then usually only at the beginning.
However, one of the objectives of the fast is to conserve and recuperate lost energy and where the enema was found to be debilitating and enervating by the early and later Natural Hygienists, which they found to be a contradictory measure to what they were trying to accomplish.
Dr Shelton..........
"The regular and frequent use of the enema induces several important evils in the colon and their use is not to be recommended at any period of life, certainly not when one is sick and weak and needs to conserve himself in every way possible. At the beginning of 1925 I ceased using the enema and I am much better satisfied with its non-use in the fast than with its use. My patients also escape the discomforts it induces".
