Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste and toxins from the Colon without the use of drugs or laxatives. It is the only method available today that has the capability of cleansing the entire length of the Colon (Large Intestine).
The Colon has been called the sewer system of the body. It is approximately 5 ½ feet long and a healthy diameter is about 2 ½ inches. Most of us don't want to think about our Colon until we suffer from constipation or diarrhea. However, doctors have documented that numerous other symptoms are related directly to the improper functioning of the Colon such as low energy, sore joints, or bad breath just to name a few. Read these Dr. Quotes for more information.
Your Digestive System includes the intestinal tract of which the Colon is a major part. It's functions include proper absorption of nutrients, minerals and water from what we eat or consume and elimination of that waste. It should take about 18 to 24 hours from the time you eat something to the time you eliminate it by having a bowel movement. Ideally, a person who eats 3 meals a day should eliminate 3 times a day. If you are not eliminating regularly, the waste is not being eliminated from your body. For information on digestion and colon cleansing, consult "Why consider Colon Health?"
Colonic Cleansing for Improved Health
The waste that does not get eliminated stays in the colon, coating the walls of the colon, creating toxins due to fermentation and/or putrefaction. In addition, due to the walls being coated with old fecal matter, the natural wave like motion of the muscles in the colon walls are compromised which further slows down or stops proper elimination. That wave like motion is called peristalsis. It is that action which propels the waste through the colon to elimination.
The Colon is the body's first line of defense against bacteria. Your body's 2nd line of defense is your Lymphatic System and Liver. The Lymphatic System is integrated with your Immune System. The Colon cannot do its job defending against bacteria if it is holding old fecal matter creating more toxins. Absorption of toxins through the colon walls by the Lymphatic System affects the Immune System as a large portion of lymph and immune tissues are located in the intestinal area. It also is detrimental to the Liver and the Kidneys. The body, when it can't eliminate these toxins, is then continuously absorbing these toxins and repoisoning itself over and over again. This is called Auto-Intoxication.
The Canadian Cancer Society statistics for 2001 states that of all the cancers, Colon Cancer is the #2 most frequent cause of death for men and women. Statistics for 2002 not published at time of this reporting.
What is a Colon Hydrotherapy session like?
Colon Hydrotherapy is generally a comfortable experience. Your dignity is always maintained. A small amount of filtered, pressure and temperature controlled water flows into the colon, gently stimulating the colon's own natural peristalsis. This results in the colon releasing softened waste. All tubes/hoses are one time use only disposables to ensure proper sanitation. It is a closed system, meaning no mess or odor. The number of treatments depends on each individual's needs. Our Colon Hydrotherapy equipment is an FDA approved Dotolo Toxygen Instrument.
Some clients have reported more energy, clearer skin and eyes, increased elimination through the kidney, skin and colon, relief from gas, and a toned and better working colon, which in turn upgrades our general feeling of well being or good health. Although there could be a testimonials link on Colon Hydrotherapy, our client confidentiality comes first. If the client insists on doing a testimonial and writes it themselves, contributing their experience , we will post it on this website.
There are Contraindications for Colon Hydrotherapy as there are for most therapies. Be sure to check this list prior to your Colon Cleanse.
Just as cleaning your teeth prevents gum disease and promotes dental health, so too may cleaning the colon of its accumulated waste help to prevent the diseases common to us today.
