"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Thomas Edison (1847-1931)

Office Policies & Informed Consent

By visiting our office you are attesting to the following Informed Consent:

I understand and consent that I will not be receiving a medical diagnosis or medical treatments at this facility.  I am fully aware that the director of this facility is a Traditional Naturopath, Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, researcher and BioEnergetic Healer.  She does not hold a medical license, and that Georgia does not currently offer nor require licensure for Naturopaths. 

Any homeopathic remedies, supplements, or herbal products discussed during my visits, sessions, seminars, or consultations are not prescription drugs used to treat or cure a specific disease or illness and are offered only as a convenience to me.  I understand that the product lines available at this facility are only offered through professional healthcare practitioners so I may be unable to purchase the identical products.  However, I am always free to purchase equivalent supplements at my local health food store, herb shop or online.

I have been made aware that the BioEnergetic, colonic and detoxification treatments have not been thoroughly studied, researched and proven to treat or cure any disease, illness or condition.  No guarantees or promises have been made as to the outcome of my health status or the amount of time it may take to reach my health and nutritional goals.

The Colon Hydrotherapy device used in this facility is a FDA Registered Class I, non-medical / non-prescriptive gravity device.  I understand that Colon Hydrotherapy is a self-administered procedure where I, as the user, am solely responsible for my own actions and release liability regarding my health.  I have the choice to make my colonic session completely private but will have immediate access to my therapist at all times.  Furthermore, I accept the responsibility for self-insertion of the rectal tube.  Insertion of the rectal tube at this facility by a therapist is strictly forbidden.  I am aware that the professionals at this facility aren’t physicians even though they may wear scrubs or lab coats to protect clothing.  Therefore, they do not insert, diagnose, or prescribe.  I am aware that adverse events and illness have been alleged and claimed with the use of colon irrigation and enema devices.  I agree that if I experience any resistance during the insertion of the rectal tube, I will stop immediately and notify my therapist.  If I experience excessive discomfort, cramping, pain, nausea or vomiting, I am responsible for notifying my therapist and stopping my own session.

I am aware that this facility does not accept insurance and expects payment at the time services are rendered.  Services may be reimbursable under a Flexible Spending Account, Cafeteria Plan, or Health Savings Accounts.  You may want to check with your benefits administrator for details and requirements.  I understand there is a 24 hour cancellation notice policy.  Furthermore, that I will be charged $50 or the amount of the scheduled service if it is less than $50, should I fail to provide such notice.  I understand these policies are subject to change without further notice.

Further, I agree that I will not attempt to schedule appointments for colon hydrotherapy unless or until I have a prescription on file from my medical doctor, if I have been diagnosed with any potential contraindications.  Additionally, I will not schedule any footbath appointments if I am pregnant, may be pregnant, or nursing, have a pace maker, or other electronic implant device, or have a transplanted organ. 

This facility does not claim to cure or treat any condition or disease.  So please do not ask your therapist what is in your footbaths or in your feces.  Without formal testing and quantitative analysis one could only speculate.  Any lab tests, analysis or screenings done at our facility are not traditional clinical or medical tests used for the sake of diagnosis but rather are an evaluation of potential weakness or stress areas to the body.
