I can't find a straight answer for this. I have read sites that don't exactly say to use an enema for colon cleansing, like the master cleanse, it just requires the drinking of saline wash, and other forumes say that you should do an enema at least once a day for the first few days of fasting. I don't know if I even want to perform this, plus I don't money to buy all this crap that the sites say to buy because I have no job and I am a little embarased trying to ask one of my parents to purchase the needed equipment to perform an enema. Who can answer this question? Do I need to perform an enema during a juice fast?
Answer:
NO.
I am a doctor, BTW. These fasts are pure BS. There is no need to "cleanse" or "purge" or "remove toxins" from your body in any way, shape, or form. Your liver and kidneys remove toxins naturally, and that is how God made you.
Did you know that "dietary supplements" and other items like they sell on the internet have NO government regulation at all? Did you know that they are a multi BILLION dollar industry that has NO requirement to prove either safety or effectiveness? People complain about the "evil" drug companies, but the "natural supplement" companies are making much more money and are completely without basis in scientific fact.
If you are doing a vegetable juice diet for weight loss, there will be TONS of fiber in the veggie juice and it is the fiber that makes the bowels move. Yes, fiber is good. Yes, hydration is good. These are facts. You never ever ever need to give yourself an enema for any reason unless you are planning to get a colon examination or you haven't pooped in about a decade. Don't waste your money.

This stuff with enemas is ridiculous. Quackery. Just letting you know... ask your doctor.
Extreme and dangerous!!! Please, people who are looking for fast easy answers for medical issues...you must follow sound medical advice as proposed by a Doctor. You will not benefit from an enema and will likely do damage.
