There are many ways to heal. And, there are many ways to heal from any individual set of symptoms, which is what diseases like Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, prostatitis, and irritable bowel syndrome are – a set of symptoms that commonly occur together and are thus labeled as a disease state in order to help the medical community come up with solutions for healing.

As Julie states, the Optimal Health Network's enema series is a way that one person is alleviating her symptoms called Lyme disease. We often hear stories like Julie's and it is these stories that, for us, truly back up the little science that has been done around the enema, the colon cleanse, and using therapeutics, such as essential oils, in the colon.

In this article, Butyrate-Induced Transcriptional Changes in Human Colonic Mucosa, published by PLOS ONE**, an international, peer-reviewed, non-profit online journal, researchers report that the enema is "a safe and reliable way to deliver a specific amount of substrate to the distal [descending/sigmoid] colon" and that "other techniques, such as oral intake of dietary fibers or encapsulated butyrate, do not allow to accurately target the distal colon." The study goes on to say that the enema was chosen as a delivery method of the butyrate intervention since "the incidence of carcinomas and diseases... of the colon is rising."

Due to science like the article above, and the healing stories of hundreds and hundreds of OHN clients over a 17-year period, we have developed products and enema protocols to deliver therapeutic substances such as butyrate (which is in our made-for-enema goat milk soaps) in order to optimize the health of the colon, as well as to help the body heal the myriad aches and pains and less-than-optimal functioning that we experience by simply being alive.

Here is the outline of another customer's therapeutic program:

Use high-quality water. Always remove the chlorine: reverse osmosis, carbon filtering, and distillation water filtration systems are a few choices.

Use a thermometer so you know that the water temperature is between 96 and 103 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water is too cold, you are more likely cramp. If the water is too hot, you could burn the tissues of the colon.

Add Celtic Sea Salt to your enema water to assist the body to maintain healthy electrolyte levels. Use 1 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt per quart of water. To assure adequate levels of electrolytes in your body, have a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) done seasonally.

Add essential oils to the your enema water. Using essential oils in your enema water will improve your colon cleansing experience; ample scientific evidence exists that the colon is a more effective delivery system for therapeutic agents than the mouth.

The colon can hold up to 4 quarts of warm water. When filling the colon with water, go slowly - close the enema clamp often. However, if you find your body can only take in 1 quart of water, that is just fine too. The smaller your body is, the less water you will be able to take into your colon.
