The only ‘experience’ you want to have is a few minutes in and out of the bathroom, easy delivery, low toilet paper usage and finish with a genuine smile! While bowel movements are a great source of h umor (and that is good too) the Colon IS the foundation to the house, and affects the entire body. What’s the Ideal Day? 1 to 2 bowel movements, easy delivery, floating (yes, you want ships and not submarines!) low paper usage (when you’re clean inside, you’ll know it) and a skip in your walk because you will feel THAT good.
So what causes constipation during the summer heat? What makes our bowel movements change during the summer? The answer is water water water. What all of us don’t realize is HOW MUCH water our bodies loose trying to stay cool in the summer heat, especially now when temperatures have escalated to extreme levels. The bowel uses water to move fecal matter through the large intestine. When it’s hot out and we sweat, not realizing how much water that sweat adds up to keep the body temperature from overheating, results in the slowing down the process of the bowel, increasing constipation levels.
Cleansing the colon is such a powerful (foundational) way to create better health.

If you’ve never done one, take notes! You should have in the enema bag water or coffee that is body temperature. The water should be pure if using water. The coffee should have caffeine and be certified organic if using coffee. You DO NOT use decaf, you must have caffeine in the coffee, it’s what does the work.
