Colon Hydrotherapy Plus

Colon Hydrotherapy is a way to help your body clean of the toxic waste accumulated in your large intestine. What we call the colon is about 5 feet long and 2 ½ inches around. The object of a colonic is to get the water to reach all the way to the end. Our body’s ileo-cecal valve keeps the small intestine sealed shut, so water does not go beyond the large intestine. Depending upon how many times you fill and empty, fill and empty, you may use 25-30 gallons of water in a session. The water is triple-filtered. The equipment often uses a UV light to kill pathogens, as well as particle and carbon and ozonized filtration ensuring clean, safe water.

 

The longer one can hold the water in, the more it softens material in the colon and makes it easy to release. When your body is ready to release, it starts up the peristaltic action to move things out. This is the same peristaltic action that moves food down the esophagus. It’s a muscle contraction. You don’t have to think about it; your body just does it. Sometimes people lose a lot of natural ability, just as any muscle can lose tone, and this decreases the peristaltic reflex. Colonics help you regain and strengthen that reflex. If you have no peristaltic action, a skilled colon therapist can help your bowel to regain its function.

 

How Colon Hydrotherapy is used

 

Colon hydrotherapy is excellent as a treatment for yeast syndrome. It can literally wash out a significant amount of the pathogenic load in the colon. When we see candida exit, it looks like beer foam. A yeast overgrowth can trigger a variety of symptoms including extreme fatigue, migraine headaches, irregular menses, chronic constipation, and abdominal pain.

 

People with weak immune systems benefit a lot when Nature gets a helping hand to keep the colon’s toxic burden at a minimum while their bodies are trying to heal.

 

Colon hydrotherapy increases the good intestinal flora. We live in a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria in our body. We need lots of “good bacteria” to digest food and give us the ability to get at all the nutrition that comes in food.

 

Teachers, airline pilots, stock brokers, and others often don’t have time during the day to go to the bathroom. They feel brain fogged, fatigued, bloated and abdominal cramps. Their colon loses the ability to act. Constipation or other bowel problems set in. Colonics can remove impacted and dehydrated fecal matter and restore muscle tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this medically approved?

    Yes. Colon hydrotherapy equipment is FDA approved.

  • What is the difference between a colonic and an enema?

    A “colonic” is generally understood to be a professionally administered procedure where water washes the entire length of the colon (large intestine) several times during a session. And “enema” in this context is generally understood to involve just the last several inches of the colon, the rectum.

  • Will colonics wash out intestinal flora and valuable nutrients?

    Yes and no. Rinsing out of putrefied material in the large intestine cleans the terrain, allowing us to replace the unhelpful bacteria with good intestinal flora. Good bacteria breed happily in a clean environment. We can also replace electrolytes, using a special formulation of marine plasma to restore health to the bowel.

  • I’ve read about ‘black tubes of mucoid plaque’ that line the walls of the colon and kill the peristaltic action. Is that true?

    No. It’s a popular myth, but not true. You can read claims about ejecting incredible looking stuff after using some colon cleaning products. People sometimes see something that looks a bit like twisted rope. That is the mucilaginous fiber in the purging products themselves, combined with black bile from the liver. Sometimes it presses against the colon wall and makes an impression, which is what gives it that gnarled look.

  • Can colonics be done during a menstrual period?

    Yes. Your body is already cleansing. Your period will not interfere with the treatment. You simply wear a tampon.

  • What if I have gas?

    Lots of people do. We think of gas as the bully in the room. Sometimes it wants to block the water. We are pretty good at getting the water to slide around it and bring it out. Gas looks like bubbles in the water as it exits.

  • Are there any conditions where you would not recommend colonics?

    Yes. Some situations are contraindicated, such as history of seizures, carcinoma of the rectum, recent abdominal or colon or rectal surgery, cirrhosis or liver disease, and more. Check with your physician if there is any question.
