Default My magic potion oral enema

I am calling this my magic potion because I it involves me putting it together and I think it has been helping me enormously. I was very inflamed, bloated, full of gas, and just tired and I started this routine of having atleast one glass daily of 1/2 organic squeezed lemon (pulp strained), 4 oz organic aloe vera juice, 2 spoons organic maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinger (with mother) and 4 oz of water. All stirred up and gulped down. At first it tastes gross but it grows on you and is sort of like an alcoholic beverage, add more maple syrup if needed. Try it I am swearing by it as of now.

You crack me up......Isn't an "oral enema" like an oxymoron???? LOL

Post the exact recipe so we can duplicate it...Is it 1/2 cup of lemon???

I am glad you are doing better. ^ I might try it. Thanks,

Ehhk - vinegar WITH mother?? Man...you are *brave*!! I think I'd mix all that together and chicken out. So - where'd you get the recipe, how long have you been doing it and how often are you doing it (surely not daily?)? I'm thinking the vinegar (with mother ) and aloe are cathartic for your gut - like would be a laxative? I guess that is why you are saying oral enema. Have you ever done a colonic?

Hey guys,

I am doing it daily and it does have somewhat of a laxative effect but (it's a good thing) because it is clearing out the toxins and junk in our colon and intestines. Don't worry about the burning because it fights off the inflammation and you won't feel anything. I don't really know how to explain the mother with the vinegar thing but it is supposed to be the best.

Here is the exact recipe which I found in some detox book (the book called for cayenne pepper but I think I'd have to be a nut to do that because that furthers inflammation.

So stick to:

1/2 of a whole organic lemon juiced and strained.

4 oz water.

4 oz organic aloe vera juice/water.

2 tablespoons of organic applecider vinger w/the mother

2 tablespoons of maple syrup, honey, or agave to sweeten

honestly I was in so much pain, bloating, gas, and swelling from being inflamed and since i started this about a week ago I am mostly symptom free. It's not scientific but it's working for me and I am so gonna continue.

Imiss it's an oral enema because it cleanses the insides but it's a much preferred way to do it as opposed to putting a syringe up your bum lol.

No clue but I guess it is the natural state and has the most properties. All the natural health experts say to have it dark and cloudy with the mother.
