The colon is a tube approximately 5 feet long and 2 1/5 inches in diameter. A healthy colon has uniform size and tone and its functions are:
• The final digestion of food
• The elimination of digestive residue
• The discharge of toxins and wastes from your body.
An under active colon has become the norm for people eating a typical Standard American Diet (SAD). Instead of functioning as nature intended, with bowels emptying after every meal, our systems have grown sluggish and burdened, which over time encourages chronic ill health to develop.
The colon is the largest contributor to disease of any organ in the body. It is said to be the initiator of 80% of all critical illnesses.
Many people suffer from chronic bowel conditions such as IBS, Diverticulitis or Colitis. When the ability of the colon to eliminate or detoxify is overwhelmed, toxins are then re-absorbed into the body, placing a greater burden on your other organs of elimination – the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. Furthermore, the increased toxic load places a large burden on your immune system, increasing your susceptibility to illness and disease.
Of all the excretory organs, the colon is the most abused and overloaded! Believe it or not, the average Western male today carries up to 10 pounds of dense, rubbery, mucoid material (a thick toxic sludge) imbedded in his bowels.
When the colon is irritated by diet, stress, drugs, chemicals, and other ‘toxic’ substances, it tries to protect itself by producing excess mucus. This additional mucus can bind with the sludge from refined and processed foods, such as white flour, and build up on the wall of the bowel, narrowing the space through which the feces pass. This layer of gluey, hardened feces (known as colon / mucoid plaque) can weigh several pounds and makes an attractive home for harmful organisms (e.g. yeast, worms and bacteria!). It also lodges in pockets within the bowel, causing ballooning, diverticuli and inflammation.
Even if you have regular bowel movements or diarrhea, don’t think that you have escaped this problem! The stools can still pass daily through an encrusted colon and leave behind the accumulated plaque residue on the walls reducing the inner diameter like a water pipe blocked by mineral deposits. Since the walls of the bowel which normally absorb nutrients from your food, are so encrusted, your absorption rate becomes dramatically reduced. This gives way to poor health and diminished lifestyle.
How this Toxic Layer can Affect the Body:
The local effects of this poisonous residue are irritation of the colon and the general reactions include:
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Gas Bloating
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Weight Gain
- Mood Swings/Irritability
- PMS, Breast and Period Pain
- Skin Problems
- Body Aches and Pains
- Dull Eyes
- Bad Breath
- Depression
Cleansing the Colon:
Colon cleansing is the first step on the road to recovery. When you have cleansed your colon and restored the balance of good and bad bacteria, when you have adequate production of enzymes and your dietary intake and internal production of vitamins is correct, your body becomes totally rejuvenated, giving rise to increased energy, lightness of being and an overall healthful feeling.
What is Colonic Irrigation?
Colonic irrigation, using the gravitational method, is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas and accumulated fecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water. There is usually no discomfort, very little internal pressure, just a steady, gentle flow in and out of the colon. At the same time, an abdominal massage is given to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone and peristaltic action.
How is a Colonic Administered?
A person receiving colon hydrotherapy, lies on a special colema board which is about 32" - 42" below the controlled water flow. A sterilized speculum is gently inserted into the rectum (by yourself). Water flow, which is under the control of the person receiving the colonic, flows into the colon via the specula, then out and around the specula carrying with it impacted feces and mucus. As the water flows out of the colon you gently massage your abdomen to help the colon release its contents. It is possible to see the expelled waste matter in the catch basin at the end of the process.
You will perform the colon irrigation by yourself in the privacy of your own therapy room. The colonic process usually takes about 45 - 60 minutes.
There are no side effects. It is not uncommon however, for some people to start to feel like they have a cold or a headache after a colon hydrotherapy session. Toxins which have been lying dormant in the colon are now being flushed out and a small amount may be re-absorbed into the body's system. This healing crisis passes quickly and the person will realize a feeling of well-being with further treatments.
Will having a Colonic damage normal Intestinal Flora?
The normal intestinal flora will NOT be disturbed. One of the functions of the first half of the colon is to gather the intestinal flora needed for the colon. When the accumulation of feces in the bowel leads to fecal encrustation, it is difficult for the colon to function normally and the glands in this lining cannot produce the necessary intestinal flora. The resulting lack of lubrication intensifies a state of constipation and generates toxemia. This upsets the normal acid-alkaline balance and the growth of the Friendly Bacteria is stunted. Cleansing the colon will help bring acid-alkaline ratio back into balance. In this environment, the Friendly Bacteria will again thrive and disease causing bacteria will find it difficult to develop.
No. In fact, most people report a general sense of well-being and an experience of feeling hydrated, refreshed and relaxed. You do need to remember, however, that the colon cleanse will stir up a lot of old debris and toxins and you might experience some nausea or fatigue. Occasionally, as these toxins are stirred up, you may also experience passing waves of mild to moderate cramping. These "waves" will pass as soon as you eliminate the water and fecal debris. People have also reported a sense of "pressure" or "fullness" before they expel the water they are taking into the colon, but you will not experience pain during the session.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
You should plan to be in the clinic for at least 90 minutes during your first colon hydrotherapy session (the actual "table time" will only last about 45 to 60 minutes). You will come in and fill out some paperwork (unless you bring the attached packet in with you), then you will have a short consultation before your session.
During the consultation we will go over any health contra-indications or concerns and answer any questions that you may have regarding colon hydrotherapy. We will also go over what you can expect to experience during your session.
We will then educate you on how the colon hydrotherapy device works and instruct you on how to insert your nozzle and start your session. Only after you have had all of your questions answered and feel comfortable to begin your procedure will your therapist will leave your room to allow you time to undress from the waist down, get up on the colon hydrotherapy table, insert your nozzle and turn your water on.
Your therapist will be available to you during the entire session to answer any questions and to instruct you in abdominal massage and other techniques that will help your cleanse to be as productive as possible.
What should I do to prepare for my colon hydrotherapy session?
- It is best to refrain from eating for at least 2 hours before the cleanse.
- Try to arrive in as relaxed a state as possible. (If you have high anxiety about your session we do offer a Bach Flower Essence Remedy for Anxiety upon request. Please let your therapist know you would like the remedy upon arrival.)
- Arrive for your scheduled appointment on time.
- After the session it is best to give yourself the gift of a couple of hours to allow your body to reset. Most people will come away from a colonic feeling lighter in mood and body but occasionally you may feel tired, hungry or have aches and you need to honor that and allow your body time to rest and rejuvenate. Detox is hard work!
What Are Colonic Implants? What Implants are Available to me?
An implant is simply a concentrated mixture, herbal or otherwise, inserted into the colon at the end of your colonic session and held for a number of minutes and then expelled. Medical doctors have used enema implants for hundreds of years as an alternative method of getting medicine and other healing agents into the body, especially when the person they are administering to is vomiting and can’t keep anything down. The colon is the ultimate way to get maximum absorption into the body and it’s effect is direct and immediate. You do not ever want to do an implant without doing a colon hydrotherapy session or enema first.
Wheatgrass Implants:
Wheatgrass is unprecedented for it’s nutritional and healing properties. A wheatgrass implant is a very powerful way to stimulate healing of the lining of the colon and to help restore the body’s pH. Wheatgrass is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available and therefore is anti-bacterial, rebuilds the bloodstream, is a superior detoxification agent and helps to neutralize toxins in the body and purify the liver. Wheatgrass juice taken orally is great for constipation and keeping the bowels open and is also very high in magnesium. The benefits of wheatgrass just go on and on and this is one of our favorite implants for obvious reasons.
Chlorophyll Implant:
Our chlorophyll implants are our second choice to the wheatgrass implant, but only due to the fact that the wheatgrass implant is an example of a living chlorophyll source. Chlorophyll is an amazing implant for anyone wanting to detox as it helps to wash drug depostis from the body, cleans and deodorizes the bowel tissues, stimulates liver purification, and is a highly oxyenated supplement. Chlorophyll is also high in organic iron, potassium, magnesium and copper. Used as both a food and a healer, Chlorophyll has no equal.
Probiotic Implant:
A probiotic implant at the end of a colon hydrotherapy session is the absolute fastest way to implant a mega-dose of beneficial bacteria directly into the colon. Probiotics may assist in relieving occasional diarrhea, constipation, gas and bloating. They support healthy immune function and a healthy intestinal wall. Taking probiotic supplements as colon implants may help replace the lost beneficial bacteria and help prevent other bowel problems. A probiotic implant can also be helpful when dealing with candida or yeast infections.
Garlic Implant:
Garlic helps kill parasites, harmful bacteria and cleanses mucous congestion. A garlic implant is profoundly purifying.
Aloe Vera Gel Implant:
An aloe implant is reported to be extremely soothing and heals tissues throughout the entire digestive tract. It heals inflammation and hemorrhoids.
Spirulina Implant:
The use of a spirulina implant, together with a fasting and detoxification program is an excellent way to purify the blood stream. Spirulina is very rich in vitamins and nutrients and is one of the most complete foods found in nature. Spirulina has been shown to increase stamina and immunity levels. It is loaded with antioxidants and is ideal for any anti-aging protocol. It is the highest source of B-12 of any food and it is made up of about 60% protein which is essential for growth and cell regeneration for the body. Spirulina also has numerous benefits for the digestive tract, widely confirmed ability to be used as a disease fighter and has proven to be powerful in removing toxins from the body. This is another of our favorite Implants.
Other herbal implants:
We also offer the use of other herbal implants. Really, any herbal tincture or tea can be used as a colonic implant for the same health benefits or remedies that the herb or tea is known for. Please discuss with our clinic practitioner any request for herbal implant.
