5. WHAT IS AUTO-INTOXIFICATION?
When we do not eliminate our waste, toxins circulate in our blood and can create auto-intoxification or self-poisoning. This occurs when the colon wall become weak and undigested food begins to enter the bloodstream. Old accumulated matter in the colon provides a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria. This affects all of our bodily cells, tissues and organs. This lowers overall performance of our bodily functions and sets the stage for serious health problems.
6. WHAT ARE THE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF INTESTINAL TOXICITY?
Fatigue; constipation; excess weight; stomach bloat; gas; bad breath; coated tongue; body odor; skin problem; lower back pain; depression; poor memory; weakened immune system and feeling of lethargy. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, colon hydrotherapy and detoxification would be of great benefit.
7. WILL LAXATIVES OR ENEMAS ACCOMPLISH THE SAME RESULTS AS COLON HYDROTHERAPY?
Laxatives are considered to be an irritant and stimulant to the colon. They draw water from the body and produce a thin watery substance that clears only the most recently digested waste from the colon and leaves behind the impacted waste on the colon walls. Enemas are fine to clean out the lower part of the rectum and colon, but miss about four feet of colon.
8. HOW IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY DIFFERENT?
Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle infusion of water in and out of the colon, reaching all four to five feet, allowing waste to be removed. With an experienced colon therapist, additional waste can be eliminated by massaging the abdomen gently and by instructing the client with breathing techniques.
9. WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM COLON HYDROTHERAPY?
Colon hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure used to assist the body with the reversal of a wide variety of health conditions, known to stem from improper diet and elimination habits. Colon hydrotherapy should be considered a preventive and health enhancement alternative rather than treatment for disease.
10. WHAT IS CONSTIPATION?
The medical dictionary defines this condition as difficult or infrequent passage of feces ... or it can refer to the hardness of the stool. Those who agree with the natural approaches believe a state of constipation can also exist when the bowel movement appears normal in spite of accumulations of waste along the colon. So what is normal? If you go to the bathroom once a day or once every two or three days ... it may be considered normal ... but it is not healthy. Consider for instance, that babies eliminate shortly after each meal. Their new digestive systems have not had the time to develop problems caused by improper diets, environmental toxins and stress. If you are eating three meals a day and are eliminating only once, it is prudent to ask yourself where the other two meals are hiding.
11. WHAT ARE THE THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS FOR COLON HYDROTHERAPY?
Overall health care maintenance; constipation; diarrhea; colds/flu; fecal impaction; mild/moderate hemorrhoids; intestinal detoxification; intestinal atonicity; bad breath; body odour; gas/bloating; mental confusion/agitation; parasitic exposure; headaches; back aches/sciatic pain; allergies; before and after surgery; bowel training for para/quadriplegics; fatigue; candida; following pregnancy; preparation for bowel test; after barium enemas; irritable bowel syndromes; during weight loss/fasting programs; part of drug rehabilitation program; during a fast or cleanse.
