I thought that over use of enemas is a bad thing. I can't imagine anyone needing an enema on weekly basis let alone on a daily basis. Think of all of the hundreds of millsion of people who have never had one and they are just fine.

or *scratches head* wouldn't pure water be better? i mean if you really use it daily why use something with added chemicals?

Try a neti pot with water only and one with salt. One will burn like hell the other won't. I've made the mistake of thinking just water is better when it comes to that orifice (nose), and it's not. Our bodies aren't just water. They're a salty water with other minerals too. So if you use just plain water it's jarring because your body wants to stay in homeostasis with whatever fluid is around it, so the minerals in your body's tissue will try to escape into the plain water you introduce--I think. At least that's what I have concluded based on my neti pot disastrous experiment and my memory of 8th grade science.
A neti pot is completely painless - and actually good for you - if you use purified water that's been heated to body temperature (98F), or slightly higher and has the right amount of salt in it. That should be one-half teaspoon of non-iodized salt for every 8 ounces of water.
I've never tried putting warm salt water up my ass, though; i'm not sure if that would have a laxative effect on the bowels or not, and don't want to find out.
Dr. Khoruts decided his patient needed a transplant. But he didn’t give her a piece of someone else’s intestines, or a stomach, or any other organ. Instead, he gave her some of her husband’s bacteria.
[...]
The procedure — known as bacteriotherapy or fecal transplantation — had been carried out a few times over the past few decades. But Dr. Khoruts and his colleagues were able to do something previous doctors could not: they took a genetic survey of the bacteria in her intestines before and after the transplant.
Kind of a gross story, but here it is:
