This is such good information...some people do this yearly to reset their immune systems...the replies are always interesting to read...Dr. Makis has been such a champion for truth...I truly appreciate his calling...
I confess that I didn't read the article, so maybe the article says this. When you do a fast, you are supposed to give yourself an enema every day that you don't go on your own. It is super important to get the toxins out, and they can be reabsorbed in the colon if they sit in the colon for too long.
Some people stop pooping altogether when they fast. It is imperative those people do enemas or else it defeats the purpose of the fast.
Yeah, no shit?
Because they aren't eating any FOOD, so there is nothing to come out. It's not because anything is wrong.
People will still defecate a little, though not much, because toxins are leaving.
Bullshit.
There is no biological reason to shoot liquid up your ass.
But humans have gone a few days without food all through history.
The idea of an enima is downright stupid, and might be dangerous.
Just fast. The body will cleanse on its own.
I have done several fasts; never an enima.
I will throw in one thing that most people have probably never thought of:
I have kept records of a few fasts I've done. When a person fasts, they lose BOTH bodyfat and muscle. But if they exercise with resistance training, the weight loss will skew more to fat loss than muscle loss.
So, if someone wants to fast, in part to lose bodyfat, they should also workout during this time. It seems counter-intuitive to many, but I know it is beneficial.
To flesh that out a bit:
I did 2 fasts for 7 days, each.
First fast, I did no exercise.
Second fast, I did a full body workout (but brief), every other day.
Both fasts, I lost exactly 15 pounds.
First fast, 3 of that was bodyfat (the rest water and lean tissue)
Second fast, 6 of it was bodyfat.
Some people say fasting is "muscle sparing." I question that, as I do think we lose muscle mass during a fast. However, we gain the muscle right back again once we start eating, especially if we workout with weights.
Still, losing less muscle mass during a fast is better than losing more.
I can list several jewish-owned porn websites that would beg to differ with you.
Several holistic healing books that I read recommend enemas (when you don't poop on your own) to ensure that disease-causing toxins are properly removed from the body and not reabsorbed by the colon.
You are entitled to think what you want about aiding your body in eliminating toxins. Sounds like your fasting was for weight and not for disease, so it is possible that your experience would be different from someone with a chronic disease.
You shouldnt need enemas, there are plenty of ways to "excite" the bowels into elimination. Caffeine is allowed during a fast and is all I use.
Some people stop pooping when they fast. Enemas are a last resort if nothing else works.
