Over time, toxic waste can accumulate in the colon and liver, and then circulate throughout the body via the bloodstream. A clean and healthy colon and liver, then, are essential for the health of all the organs and tissues of the body.
There are two types of enemas - the retention enema and the cleansing enema. The primary action of the retention enema, which is held in the body for about fifteen minutes, is to help rid the liver of impurities. The cleansing enema, which is retained for only a few minutes, is used to flush out the colon.
When using any enema, keep in mind that they should never be used if there is rectal bleeding. In such a case, contact your health care provider immediately.
If you experience tension or spasms in the bowel while using an enema, try using warmer water (99°F to 102°F is a good temperature) to help relax the bowel. If the bowel is weak or flaccid, try using colder water (75°F to 80°F) to help strengthen it.
After using any enema, be sure to wash and sterilize the tip of the enema bag.

GARLIC RETENTION ENEMA
Garlic is a very strong antibiotic, antifungal and anti-parasitic herb. Use with caution. If your colon is infested with parasites or candida, this could cause too much to die off all at once.
PROCEDURE:
To make a garlic enema solution, place 4-6 bulbs of fresh garlic into cups of 2 cups of boiling steam-distilled water. Turn down heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Blend and strain. Mix with at least 2 quarts of steam-distilled water, cooling it to a comfortable temperature. Use only 1 pint of the strained garlic solution to begin with and refrigerate the remainder in a closed jar. As parasites are eliminated, work up to 2 quarts of garlic solution.
Place the garlic enema solution in an enema bag. Do not use petroleum jelly to lubricate the tip of the enema bag. Instead use vitamin E oil (buy it in oil form or pierce the end of a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the liquid onto the tip). The liquid will both ease insertion and have a healing effect on the anus and the lining of the colon, if these areas are inflamed. Aloe vera may also be used for this purpose.

Knee-Chest Position
The best position to assume when receiving the enema is "head down and rear up". After the liquid has been inserted, roll onto your back, and finally roll over and lie on your left side. As you are doing this, massage you colon to help loosen any fecal matter. Start on your right side and gradually move your fingers up toward the bottom of the rib cage, then across your abdomen and down the left side.
If you experience any pain during insertion, stop the flow of the enema bag and remaining in the same position, take deep breaths until the pain subsides. The resume the enema flow. If you expel the liquid before all of it has been inserted, simply begin the process over again. If pain persists, discontinue the enema procedure.
Hold the solution in your body for 3 to 4 minutes before allowing the fluid to be expelled. After 2 or 3 such sessions, you will find it easier to insert and hold the entire 2 quart amount of liquid. Repeat once weekly or as needed to keep colon free of parasites or candida.
