What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
A healthy colon is essential for the absorption of vital nutrients and the natural elimination of waste and toxins by the body. Its proper functioning is critical to overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, the modern diet of convenience foods, refined carbohydrates, and a lack of fiber can break the colon down, inhibiting its ability to function optimally.
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, comfortable way of cleansing the colon. Colon Hydrotherapy is a gentle fusion of filtered temperature-regulated water into the colon. As it gently circulates throughout the 5 feet of the large intestine, it coaxes the body to release stored toxins, waste, and bacteria that cling to the intestinal walls.
Colonic muscle tone is improved, which facilitates peristaltic action and enhanced absorption of nutrients while helping to minimize the absorption of toxic waste material accumulating in the colon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy?
A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. Conventional diets comprised of refined, processed foods, high in saturated fats and low in fiber, contribute to many problems associated with the large intestine. The elimination of undigested food material and other waste products is as important as digestion and assimilation. Waste material allowed to remain stagnant in the colon results in the decomposition of these substances and increased bacteria and their toxins.
The colon contains the largest concentration of bacteria in the body. These bacteria provide important functions, such as the synthesis of folic acid, B vitamins, and vitamin K from foods. Bacillus coli and acidophilus comprise the majority of the healthy bacteria in the colon, along with other disease-producing bacteria in small numbers. Waste material allowed to stagnate alters the proportion of the healthy bacteria to disease-producing bacteria and increases the potential for disease to exist. These bacteria decompose proteins and carbohydrates, resulting in the production of toxins. Some of these toxins are thought to be absorbed and may be a potential source of disease elsewhere in the body.
The purpose of the colon as an eliminative organ is to remove waste material. Improving muscular tone by facilitating peristalsis can benefit the atonic (sluggish) colon. The effects of a stagnant colon can be manifested in the form of constipation, halitosis (bad breath), skin blemishes, headaches, lower back pain, and lack of energy.
Why should I consider Colon Hydrotherapy?
Misdiagnosed parasites and clogged colon are the main causes of diseases.
Toxins and parasites thrive in an unhealthy, unclean intestine. When the bowel contains partially digested proteins, it can harbor an amazing variety of harmful bacteria and parasites.
Some parasites may not be affected by the harsh acid of the stomach or the juices of the large intestine and are able to survive the journey to the intestinal region that is most favorable to their development.
Another culprit is Candida Albicans, a fungus found in every intestinal tract. Normally kept in check by friendly bacteria, factors like poor diet, antibiotics, birth control pills, estrogen, stress, and even caffeine can stimulate the fungus into the immune system, compromising total body infection. (Candidiasis). Candidiasis can trigger dozens of systems: weight gain, system infections, hyperactivity, mood swings, depression, arthritis, acne, allergies, fatigue, and more.
Colon Hydrotherapy benefits immune-compromised sufferers of lupus, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, chronic fatigue, and Epstein-Barr by returning balance between the lymph system and the intestine, the lymph glands waste.
How can Colon Hydrotherapy restore optimum health?
- Clearing the colon of impacted waste material and harmful toxins.
- Restoring the proper pH balance.
- Stimulating the immune system.
- Facilitating nutrient absorption.
- Increasing prevention of toxic absorption via healthy mucosa.
- Providing a favorable environment for digestive bacteria and microflora.
- Strengthening natural muscular contraction in the colon.
- Promoting a return to normal regular bowel movements.
What should I expect from Colon Hydrotherapy?
During therapy, you will lie comfortably on a custom treatment table while a small disposable speculum is inserted into the rectum through which 8-10 Liters of warm filtered water is passed gently through the colon.
Water temperature and pressure are monitored by the therapist and can be varied to stimulate peristalsis (muscular contraction) in the colon. This is very important in helping the atonic (sluggish) colon.
A skilled Colon Hydrotherapist will use several fills and releases of water as well as light massage techniques to dislodge toxic waste matter adhering to colon walls. The dislodged impactions are then gently washed through the system's waste disposal hose. This is a closed system, so waste is discretely transported into the drain line without any offensive odor.
Each Colon Hydrotherapy session lasts approximately 45 minutes, and you should allow at least one hour per visit. Keep in mind that each session will vary based on the person, and I won't kick you out at the one-hour mark simply because your time is up.
How should I prepare to maximize results?
1. Be sure that you are well hydrated. An easy way to figure out how much is enough is to take your body weight and divide it in half. This will give you the number of ounces of water that you need to drink each day.
2. Fiber supplementation is recommended. 20 - 35 grams per day. This will help break up some of the build-ups and make your session more productive.
3. Lubricate the colon further by taking essential fats and oils, such as flax, borage, and fish oils.
How frequently should I have my treatment?
An initial series of three to six treatments is recommended. Years of improper nutrition cannot possibly be reversed with one or two treatments. More treatments may be required in cases of chronic constipation or atonic (sluggish) colon conditions. Following the initial cleansing program, it is advisable to have a series of a minimum of three treatments every three to six months to maintain optimal colon health.
