A healthy colon is the key to living a healthy life!

Colon Hydrotherapy:
The Key to Good Health and Vitality!

Normal Colon


Abnormal Colon


The colon (large intestine), is the end portion of the human digestive tract. The colon is approximately 5 to 5½ feet long and 2½ inches in diameter.

Its major functions are to conserve water in the body... and to eliminate waste from the body. There are "friendly" bacteria living in the healthy colon which synthesize valuable nutrients such as vitamins 'K' and portions of the 'B' complex. But unfortunately...

The average American does not have a healthy colon!

I'll bet you didn't know that the average person -- one who is neither overweight, nor noticeably allergic to things -- may have 10 to 25 pounds of dried fecal matter in their colon! But that's for someone who is at normal weight for their height and age...

If you're overweight or a highly allergic person...
You might be carrying around a lot more than that!

The typical American diet, consisting of high-fat, low-fiber, refined junk foods... including flour, meat, fat, sugar, alcohol, preservatives and toxins, is the primary reason the colon becomes so unhealthy. The toxins generated from accumulated waste matter in the colon, are responsible for many body imbalances... which can lead to very serious weight and health problems!

Furthermore, the average American diet includes less than a fraction of the fiber foods necessary to promote elimination of toxins from the body. Poor diet, improper food-combining and lack of dietary fiber make maintenance of a healthy colon virtually impossible. As a consequence...

It is very common to find people with unhealthy and weakened digestive systems!

“Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the
colon/digestive tract as either a primary contributor... or a secondary
problem which accentuates slowdowns in other critical body systems, like the endocrine (glandular) system and the circulatory system.”

Toxins present in the unhealthy colon can be transported into the circulatory system... And soon the body may be unable to properly metabolize food and fat, or to provide vital energy for living!

A classic sign of colon toxicity in women -- and one of their most common complaints about their figures -- is their potbelly. This condition may be very simple to correct by adopting an improved health regimen. A distended abdomen, may indicate a more serious problem and the presence of a fecal ball in the colon which gathers more and more coatings the longer it remains.

The colon depicted below is characteristic to a person who consumes mixed-cooked foods, including any average amount of meat and starches.

Do you experience any of these health problems?
Constipation
Diarrhea
Frequent Severe Headaches
Backaches
Fatigue
Bad Breathe (Halitosis)
Foul Body Odor
Irritability
Chronic Skin Problems (Acne)
Frequent Mental Confusion
Abdominal Gas & Bloating
Lower Back Pain
Sciatic pain
Low Energy & Vitality
Low Resistance to Colds
Frequent Infections

These all can be indications you need to cleanse your body's elimination system.

Colon Hydrotherapy is an excellent way to accomplish this objective!

Benefits which may be accomplished by Colon Hydrotherapy:

Cleansing
Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Fecal debris built up over a long period is gently removed over a series of irrigations. Once this impacted material is removed, your colon can again begin its normal elimination function. A colon hydrotherapy session may be considered a rejuvenation treatment for your body.

Exercises
The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its function. Gentle filling and emptying of the colon can improve peristaltic (natural muscular contraction) activity, which aids efficient removal of waste material.

Reshapes
Over time, the natural shape of a problematic colon will become distorted, causing even more problems. The gentle water action and massage techniques of the therapist will help eliminate protruding pockets of waste and narrow, spastic constrictions. After a series of colon hydrotherapy treatments, the colon gradually begins to resume its natural shape.

Stimulation of Reflex Points
Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. A colon hydrotherapy session stimulates these reflex points, thereby effecting the corresponding body parts... In a beneficial way similar to reflexology.

I don't have any health problems... Can colon hydrotherapy help me too?

Maybe colon hydrotherapy sounds good for some people... But not YOU!

You eat a high-fiber diet, drink lots of water, exercise and eliminate with regularity.

Yes, even healthy people can benefit from a series of colonic irrigations... Waste deposits may remain trapped in your colon for weeks, months or even years, despite following a strict health regimen!

Consider this reported case... During a colon hydrotherapy session, a 54 year-old woman in Atlanta, Georgia discovered that her body had released a residue of barium.

But she had only be given barium once in her life — when she was just 7 years old — 47 years earlier!

It had remained trapped in her colon all those years, until the colon hydrotherapy session released it...

A buildup of old, putrefied fecal waste can block proper digestion, nutrient absorption, waste elimination and provides an excellent breeding ground for germs and parasites . . .

Worldwide, it is estimated that 200 million people are infested by intestinal parasites.

Parasites are man's deadliest enemy... they kill more people annually than do cancers! Symptoms associated with parasite infestation can include restless sleeping, fatigue, poor assimilation and absorption of nutrients, food cravings (especially for sugars and breads), as well as an inability to feel satisfied after a large meal.

The best way to maintain a healthy colon and good digestion is to:
• Eat a natural wholesome, high-fiber, low-fat diet.
• Drink plenty of pure water daily.
• Exercise on a regular basis and try to avoid stress.

But this may not be enough... Consider the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy!

The following depicts a healthy colon and the reflex points corresponding to various body organs and health conditions.

Colon hydrotherapy has helped many people to overcome difficult health problems and is helping many more to maintain good health into the future. For these people... Colon hydrotherapy has proven to be...

Everybody is Sick !!!

In North America today, almost everybody is ill. If you look at your family, friends, and co-workers, and question them very carefully you will find that virtually everybody has a health challenge, many of which are significant. How many people do you know in their 20's and 30's, who are suffering from chronic fatigue, and many of them may not even know it, because they think they are normal? They think it's normal to be in a constant state of tiredness and having low energy levels, despite receiving adequate rest. How many people do you know in there 40's and 50's that have recently died of cancer? In reality, the health of the North American population is deteriorating. We may be living longer, but we are not living healthier, and the quality of life for the average North American over the age of 45 has decreased significantly in the last 10 years.

I had been suffering with many health problems, even from the age of a young girl. But my life was revolutionized when I had my colon irrigation. I was always tired and never had the energy I thought I thought I should have had, but now I feel young and energized again. I was always sick it seemed, that whatever flu bug or sickness was going around, I was sure to get it. But now I very rarely get sick at all. My level of health has improved a 100%. Colon irrigation has truly given me back my health.

Dr. Bernard Jensen

"What would happen if the pipes got all plugged up with some unmovable material so that the system failed to move waste? It wouldn't take very long before a crisis developed and a huge sanitation problem would threaten health and society."

As Dr. Bernard Jensen D.C., Ph.D., Nutritionist states in his book, Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management,

Digestive Problems

Of the many challenges that North Americans face, problems with the digestive system are among the most dangerous. Problems with the large intestines, more commonly known as the colon, are among the top of that list. According to the Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain "More than 65 different health challenges are caused by a toxic colon." Many illnesses and disease are directly related to improper digestion of food and inadequate care of our bowels. Our bodies come with a complete system of checks and balances to determine which substances are useful and which are waste. However, our environment and lifestyles have compromised, and in most cases, damaged the quality of this system to do an adequate job of protecting us from illness and disease.

Colon Hydrotherapy FAQ

Who should have this treatment?
Because a malfunctioning colon can trigger 80% of all diseases, almost all people need a series of Colonics, and notice an improvement in their health. The procedure cleanses the colon of accumulated fecal matter, mucous deposits, gas and toxins.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy safe?
Absolutely. All equipment is sterilized, and the water is pre-filtered. The water pressure is low (1 psi), so there is no danger of perforating the bowel. Thousands of Colonics have been given safely over the years, and unlike laxatives, colon hydrotherapy is not habit forming actually improves bowel tone.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy the same as an enema?
No. Colon Hydrotherapy will only clean out about 12 inches of the rectum and the bowel area; however, a enema will aim to cleanse the whole of the colon (approx. 5ft. long and 2 inches in diameter). Unlike enemas, Colon Hydrotherapy doesn't irritate the bowel because we use only water, rather than harmful chemicals.

• Contrary to some schools of thought, Colon Hydrotherapy doesn't make the bowel lazy, but stimulates and exercises the colon through the use of warm water.
• Colon Hydrotherapy cleanses the colon, emptying the pockets thereby helping to reduce waste, infection and inflammation. This, in turn, helps to improve muscular contractions.
• Re-educates the colon so it returns to its more original form.
• Balances the micro-flora ecosystem by removing the old waste and excessive overgrowth of bad bacteria, thus allowing the good bacteria to thrive.
• Helps to synthesis the B vitamins whilst increasing the absorption of other nutrients through the colon walls.
• Helps to decrease the enterotoxins re-entering the body (Leaky gut syndrome).
• Decreases the risk of cancer by removing old waste products and ensuring that the bowel works properly.
• Improves bowel transit time.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy painful?
Sometimes people can have slight cramping or can feel pressure building-up in the stomach. This feeling usually passes very quickly and generally occurs when gas is shifting. However, herbs may be used to aid this. Generally, the treatment is very relaxing and some people even fall asleep during the procedure!

Where can the old fecal debris in the bowel be found?
It can be stuck in the pockets of the bowel or stuck to the bowel wall like glue. This causes irritation and inflammation and so Colon Hydrotherapy are good to help remove this. Herbs will help shift further deposits.

Is there any danger of transmitting disease through the equipment?
Only if the equipment hasn't been sterilized properly. However, we only use disposable specular that are disposed after each use. This ensures our clients that fungus, bacteria, and viruses will not be transmitted to our clients.

Are there any circumstances in which Colonic Hydrotherapy isn't recommended?
Your therapist will take a detailed history to ensure that this procedure will be safe for you, if there is any doubt, we will recommend an alternative treatment. As a guide people who have the following health complaints are advised not to undertake the treatment:

• Severe cardiac disease
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure/ hypertension
• Congestive cardiac failure
• Aneurysm
• Severe anemia
• Gastro-intestinal perforation or hemorrhage
• Severe hemorrhoids
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Carcinoma/cancer of the colon or rectum
• Abdominal hernia
• Recent colon or rectal surgery
• Renal insufficiency
• Severe prostate problems
• Pregnancy

How many treatments will I need?
Colon Hydrotherapy is administered in a series of treatments. The number of Colon Hydrotherapy needed varies for each individual. Your individual toxicity level determines the number of Colon Hydrotherapy you will need. But, a series of Colon Hydrotherapy is necessary to remove the impacted material from the colon wall. The washing is very gentle and works by virtue of repeated cleanings not by force. If there is continued undigested food, heavy mucus, dark encrustations or heavy toxins, it is recommended that you continue treatments until you are freed of these substances.

Rid your body of toxins, pollutants, and parasites to allow your body to naturally regenerate itself back to vibrant health. The building blocks to an effective parasitic cleansing program should always include the removal of waste in the colon. If the colon is not functioning at optimal abilities, poor digestion will always culminate with toxic waste materials in the bowels. The intestinal track functions as both the nutrient absorption and the waste removal system of the body. It is a dysfunctional colon coupled with the presence of toxic waste in the bowels, which generally forms the breeding grounds for most of the common parasitical infestations that we humans suffer from. This toxic waste creates the environment in which intestinal parasites thrive and propagate. Autointoxication (reabsorbing your own bowel toxins) is responsible for many of the nagging chronic symptoms that people complain of. Unfortunately, the condition of a dysfunctional bodily waste removal system is one of the most prevalent conditions in modern society; but it doesn't have to remain this way.
