High Colonic / Colon Hydrotherapy / Colon Detoxification

In today’s environment where much of the world seems to be adopting a more hectic and stressful western lifestyle; where people want to look good instantly, or because of work and psychological considerations lead sedentary lives, maintaining a healthy diet full of natural vitamins becomes harder and harder. And by default, maintaining a healthy bowel is an equally difficult proposition.

The large intestine is our body's main organ for elimination. It's main purpose is to collect all types of toxic waste from the body and through a process using the peristaltic waves of muscles lining the colon, eliminate all the solid and semisolid waste from the body. The bowel acts as the body's sewage system and as you can imagine, it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Over time, fecal matter becomes compacted, stagnating on the walls of the bowel. This can cause constipation, bloating and gas. The fecal stagnation creates a toxic environment, where mechanical abnormalities such as: Hiatal hernias, a collapsed colon, a spastic colon, reduced absorption of natural vitamins, and even diverticulitis can develop. Even hemorrhoidal inflammation and bleeding, caused by strained bowel movements can be directly related to obstructions in the colon. In addition to improving dietary considerations, a therapy known as colon hydrotherapy or "colonic" is one of the best ways to break up the hardened, fermented and putrid fecal matter. A colonic is similar to an enema. Whereas an enema only uses a pint of water to irrigate and flush, a colon hydro therapist uses several gallons of water to reach approximately 8 feet into the colon. This procedure is called a high colonic, colon irrigation, colonic therapy, colon cleansing, or colon detoxification. The patient lies relaxed on a table for approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Patient reactions vary, but most find themselves feeling lighter, having lost 2-3 pounds of old fecal matter, refreshed and more relaxed than when they first arrived.

The Colon

Your large intestine is a hollow, tube-like organ made up of muscle structure that moves toxic materials along by wavelike motions know as peristaltic action. From the cecum the beginning of the large bowel to the rectum, it is approximately five and a half feet long. When a person is constipated the walls of the large intestine are generally packed or lined with accumulated feces from extended periods of intestinal overloading due to the avoidance of responding to the "call of nature" immediately. The large intestine can neither absorb nor eliminate properly in this condition. When wastes from the blood arrive at the inner wall of the colon, the hardened feces prevent their passage through this wall. Since blood circulates through every organ in body and reaches every cell is the body, toxins in the blood contaminate the entire body. To properly cleanse the body tissue we must first start by a thorough cleansing of the bowel (colonic). It took time to pollute our bodies to the point of disease, so it will take to reverse the process through a series of body cleansings. -The Natural Immune system can only be built up in a clean body, a body with minimal amount of accumulated toxic material. The degree to which the large intestine is inhabited by harmful bacteria, parasites and other dangerous organisms varies greatly among individuals. What one person is able to hold in the bowel without obvious effects may be hazardous.

Colon Dysfunction

Trouble is usually first recognized by an individual as constipation or diarrhea. (These danger signs along with foul smelling stool or gas may be passed). The normal color of your stool is honey golden brown and has no odor which is offensive. During constipation though, you may observe a darkening of the stool because of the longer transition time in your system. The colon will distribute the poisons of decay, fermentation and putrefaction into the blood. The symptoms may include: Allergies- Asthma- Bad breath- Backache- Craving for food- Depression- Headaches- Hemorrhoids Insomnia- Irritability- Lack of sexual response- Loss of concentration- Loss of memory- Menstrual problems- Nausea- Nervousness- Overweight- Poor appetite- Prostate trouble- Skin problems- Swelling of the legs- Tension and many other ailments. -Colon hydro therapy is not a cure, but it is a valuable procedure and treatment for a wide variety of different colon conditions. A toxic bowel is the source of many health problems. By stripping down the old toxic mucus lining of the bowel, we remove the number one source of disease in the body. In addition we open up the bowel to a more efficient means of which of waste elimination and nutrient absorption, both of which are essential to any lasting healing process. This is also the first step toward normalizing the bowel so that the friendly bacteria will return to keep the colon safe from autointoxication. -It is significant that surgeons and physicians are beginning to understand the importance of bowel care in the prevention of disease.

The Benefits of a Colonic / Colon Hydrotherapy

All anaerobic organisms are destroyed in the large bowel, including pathogens (disease producers) and benign (friendly) bacteria. Parasites are also removed from the intestines. Warm water used in the therapy supplies heat to the body which relaxes the colon. Conversely, the effects of cold water, also used in hydrotherapy, can induce peristalsis in flaccid and elongated colons. In both cases, the colonic therapy has a definite calming effect on the nervous system. Some overweight individuals can eliminate as much as, eight to thirty pounds over a series of treatments by cleansing out their lower gastrointestinal tract. A healthy colon helps the body absorb natural vitamins from food. When sufferers visit a physician, they usually relate a history of one or more of the following conditions :coated tongue, sallow complexion, abnormal body odor, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), fetid breath, dark circles under eyes, cold hands, and changes in blood pressure.. A series of colonic treatments can remedy these symptoms.
