pleasant cleansing reactions, follow intestinal cleansing with a rectal implant. Ann Wigmore used wheatgrass juice for this purpose, explaining, ''The implants work to purge the colon and liver and to nourish the body via absorption in the colon." For a wheatgrass implant, fill a sterilized infant enema syringe or 3-ounce rubber adult ear syringe with freshly pressed wheatgrass juice, or use thawed frozen juice from the health food store, mix powdered wheatgrass juice with water or substitute barleygrass or other "green" juices or powders. This small amount of fluid can be retained by most people for several hours, but even a few minutes can be beneficial. Nutrients delivered in this way have not been altered by the digestive process and so have a different effect than they would have if swallowed.
In Acidophilus and Colon Health, David Webster gave detailed instructions for implanting bifidus bacteria, which may be the fastest way to establish a healthy colony of beneficial bacteria in those whose population has been disrupted by antibiotics or other causes. This procedure is best done at the end of a detoxification program, when the bacteria will be left undisturbed in a clean, hospitable environment.
To prepare for a bacterial implant, Webster recommended cleansing the colon with an acidic whey wash, mixing 2 Tbsp. powdered whey (if using Molkosan, use 1 Tbsp. as it is more concentrated) with 1 quart water for use as an enema. Retain the liquid-as long as possible before expelling it, and massage the intestines to improve its distribution while lying on the left and then right sides. This procedure, which can be repeated for two or three days, creates a more favorable environment for beneficial bacteria.
