What are 'enzyme caplets'?
The idea behind taking enzymes is that it will help us to digest better. For some reason our bodies can't do it well enough. In fact, we have a very sophisticated digestive system. We have specific enzymes that work on specific foods and don't work on anything else except for those specific foods. We are very efficient at digestion. When we take enzymes through the mouth, what happens is because of the acidity of the stomach, they can become inactive, because that acid of the stomach causes them to breakdown. In reality, we don't need these enzyme caplets, but the idea behind it is that it will help you digest better.

How do colonics and coffee enemas fit into the Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox?
A colonic is essentially a tube that is put up the colon to clean out the contents of the colon. What's very dangerous about this is the tube could actually perforate the colon and cause damage to the colon. In the colonic, they put the tube up there and they flush your colon with water so they can bring all the contents out. The coffee enema is essentially similar to a colonic, you're making an enema but with coffee you are sticking, and basically you're putting coffee up the colon.
Where do you go to get a colonic?
There are a type of naturopathic doctors that do colonics, but there really isn't any regulation around colonics, so you could go to almost anyone who says that they will give you one, so you have to be very careful. You might get somebody that doesn't really know how to do it properly and could damage your colon.
