OHN Website Endorsement

I would like to endorse this OHN and explain why it’s such a great and helpful website.

What a wonderful place!!

First maybe I should tell you all a bit about myself.

I'm 32 years old and live in California. A few years ago I read about enemas on the internet and decided to try one. I got an enema bag from an online site (just a normal 2-quart red bag, but it did have a cap so it could be used as a hot water bottle as well). The reason I decided to try using an enema is I had been depressed, tired, and having problems in the restroom for quite a while. I also had a few other symptoms that I read might be helped by taking an enema. I had had severe acne as a child, and always felt sick when exercising too vigorously.

Well, I tried it, and it did seem to help, but I was very worried about hurting myself or doing something wrong. So I did more research on the internet and I found all these websites saying how dangerous taking an enema is, how you can die from it, how if you don't have enough salt you can pass out, etc. This scared me enough that I decided to stop taking enemas all together. There was no Google back then, and the amount of information available about enemas was way less then there is now.

Anyway, about 2 weeks ago I decided to start really dieting, as opposed to "sort of" dieting (I wouldn't drink soda, and didn't eat a ton, but I still would often only eat once a day). While doing research on ways to help me lose weight, I came across suggestions that enemas might help as well. This sparked my interest, and after going to college and learning techniques to do research on the internet, I decided to do exactly that about enemas.

This website, along with many others, helped me figure out that enemas are not really as dangerous as they were made out to be. Common sense should have told me that if so many people were dying from enemas or even getting seriously hurt, it would be reported on all the time. In fact, I think many of the doomsday websites use only one or two incidents to scare people into not using enemas at all.

So I went to my local drug store (after reading online that you can buy them there now) and bought a 2-quart red enema bag. I have been taking enemas now every day, mixed with baking soda, and I feel so much better.

Not only have I not been having the problems on the toilet (it's always been an unenjoyable process for me), but I feel so much lighter and have more energy. (I'm also exercising more, so that may be part of the reason.) I am thinking of getting the Flowmaster Cleansing Program. Although I have never used a colon tube and I'm not sure if I will want to or not, still it would be nice to have the video, good enema equipment, and more options for later as I become more experienced.

I can take about 4 quarts or so (not sure of the exact amount since I don't let my bag empty all the way before refilling it so there is no more air to let out), but am still a bit worried about taking too much, so I am stopping at 4, at least for now. I can't always take that much. For instance yesterday I could only take 2 quarts even after the first time. But by 4 quarts the pressure seems to be large enough that no more water will enter my colon from the bag. I do not want to increase the height any more as that could be seriously dangerous, and I seem to get cleaned out quite well with only 4 quarts.

Anyway, everything seems to be going pretty well so far. I am currently 250 pounds and I'm hoping to get down to 200-210 or so. (I'm 6 foot; 190-200 is optimal, but even when I was a teenager in excellent shape I was about 200.) There is so much information on taking enemas that it is a bit scary. For now I am using baking soda and eating a banana to help with potassium every morning. (I am eating many small meals as part of my diet anyway.) I have read that you should also eat yogurt (yech!!), to help replenish something else, but I have not been able to stomach that yet.

I do feel way better lately, more healthy, more positive, and I have way more energy. It does unfortunately still take me a while to give myself an enema series (I usually just do two, the first to clean out most of the junk and the second to get the rest). The process takes me about 2 hours or so right now, but probably with practice it will become a bit faster.

I think this website and its board are really awesome and incredibly helpful. The amount of information available here to help someone just starting off is amazing. The people on the message board are so friendly and smart, and of course the supplies you can purchase are excellent with just about everything you could possibly need available (and it seems that Kristina can even find ways to get things not on the website!).

I highly recommend purchasing items from OHN and suggest you join the message boards as well. This site has helped answer many questions for me, and stopped me being nervous about the process. It’s very reassuring just communicating with other people doing the same things you are, and knowing that if you need help or information, it is available.

Glad to meet you all *virtually*.
