The famous Harvey W. Kellogg, M.D. of Battle Creek, MI, once said:  “Of the 22,000 operations I personally performed, I never found a single normal colon and of the 100,000 performed under my jurisdiction, not over 6% were normal.”

What is Colon Therapy?

Colonic Therapy can relieve a variety of disturbances.

What is Colon Therapy?

Colon Therapy is the slow and gentle insertion of purified water into the colon (large intestine) for the cleansing of poisons, mucous and accumulated fecal matter and to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone, and peristaltic wave action.  No chemicals or drugs are ever used, thus it is a safe, gentle health-giving alternative.

Autointoxification Explained

 The first solution that might come to mind is laxatives.  A laxative works by irritating the whole digestive system.  Although the user probably experiences partial relief, old toxic material continues absorbing, digestion in the small intestine is hindered and delicate internal muscles are irritated.  An enema may only effect inches of the 5-7 foot colon.  With colon hydrotherapy, the process of gentle cleansing and regeneration of delicate tissues and nerve muscle can begin.

Additionally, there is a benefit to the immune system.  There is more lymphatic tissue in the abdomen than in the rest of the body parts combined.  Removal of stagnant waste promotes healthy tissue which enhances immune efficiency.

If we do not eliminate completely, autointoxification causes a cyclic loss of functions.  The colon loses its ability to have timely, peristaltic (muscle) action, nerve signals slow and feces gradually lodge in pockets.  Stalled, dehydrating, bacteria-laden stool is gradually re-absorbed via the blood back into the system, causing toxemia.

How Do I Become Toxic?

1. High fat, low fiber, over processed, overcooked, denatured, and devitalized foods.

2. Consumption of quality water is too low.  Caffeine drinks dehydrate the bowel.

3. Mental attitudes about bowel evacuation.

4. Stress shuts down peristaltic movement and flow of digestive secretions.

5. Physical defects, acquired or genetic, cause stagnation.

6. Use of drugs, bed rest or illness may cause constipation.

Are there any side effects to colonics?

None.  It is not uncommon, however, for some people to start to feel like they have a cold or headache after a colonic.  Toxins which have been laying dormant in the colon are now being flushed out and a small amount may be re-absorbed into the body’s system.  This healing crisis passes quickly and with further treatments, the person will realize a feeling of well-being.

Will colonics damage the normal intestinal flora?

No.  One of the functions of the first half of the colon is to gather the intestinal flora needed for the colon.  When the accumulation of feces in the bowel leads to fecal encrustation, it is difficult for the colon to function normally and the glands in this lining cannot produce the necessary intestinal flora.  The resulting lack of lubrication intensifies a state of constipation and generates toxemia.  This upsets the normal acid-alkaline balance and the growth of the friendly bacteria is stunted.  Cleansing the colon will help bring the acid-alkaline ratio back into balance.  In this environment, the friendly bacteria will again thrive and disease-causing bacteria will find it difficult to develop.

The colon hydrotherapy series can affect many aspects of one’s life, health, and body image.  Some clients are able to devote themselves fully to a comprehensive detoxification period, while others are more comfortable making gradual changes.  In general, if one needs to economize on a number of treatments, it is best to do a few sessions close together, accompanied by a well-thought-out program.  For individual recommendations, contact your colon hygienist.  Starting the day before your appointment:  Changing your eating habits before a treatment is not mandatory…but it does give the highest return, and is highly recommended.  Your body needs fluids to flush out toxic material.  Start drinking extra the day before the treatment.  Suggestions:  high quality water, herbal tea, vegetable broths, fresh juices (especially vegetable).

 Avoid any foods that you feel cause excel gas, such as beans, members of the cabbage family, refined foods and dairy.

Consider doing an abdominal castor oil pack.

Consider an herbal colon stimulant if feeling constipated or congested.
