Colon Hydrotherapy

The usual colon hydrotherapy lasts approximately 45 minutes. A small speculum is inserted into the rectum. This speculum is then attached to a plastic hose which connects to the colon irrigation machine. The colon hydrotherapist then adjusts the volume and temperature of the water coming out of the machine which runs through a plastic hose into the rectum and through the entire colon.

The colon is temporarily filled with a certain volume of water to individual tolerance. This will induce peristaltic contractions in the colon, and the patient will begin to expel fecal matter through a special hose which leads back to the colon irrigation machine and through a clear plastic viewing tube.

It is quite interesting to see what is expelled during a normal colon hydrotherapy treatment . . .
 
One may see mucous, parasites and very old feculent material (noted by its dark black color) pass through this tube. This old feculent material may have been lying in the patient's colon for years.

 It looks like vulcanized rubber and has that kind of consistency. In addition, the patient may experience sensations of warmth due to the presence of toxins in the feculent matter.
 
While the patient is receiving the colon treatment, the colon hydrotherapist lightly massages various parts of the abdomen to help loosen and dislodge areas of fecal impaction. If this therapy is conducted properly, it should not be painful or uncomfortable.

It should be noted that most patients need a series of colon irrigations . . . not just one.  It usually takes a few treatments before one starts dislodging old encrusted feculent matter.  It takes years for the colon to become clogged up with its own waste products. Therefore, one should not be impatient when pursuing a therapeutic course of colon irrigations.

Poisons from an improperly functioning colon can:

·          Weaken and stress the body

·          Cause skin disruption such as blemishes, paleness, psoriasis, liver spots, wrinkles and other facial conditions

·          Cause foul breath

·          Cause anxiety and sleep disturbances

·          Go to the muscles and cause fatigue and weakness

·          Ruin your health, and cause you to become old long before your time

·          Cause an already overworked liver to become more toxic

  Constipation is defined as the difficult or infrequent passage of feces and is associated  with the presence of dry, hard stools.  The constipation condition may lead to intestinal toxemia which is a form of poisoning due to the absorption of bacteria and their toxins through the intestinal wall.  Thirty six  toxic substances have been isolated from the human colon, mainly derived from the bacterial decomposition of proteins which ultimately overburden the liver’s  and kidney’s detoxification  ability.

 Good health is as much a function of our elimination status as the quality of food we ingest.  Every year 140,000 Americans are diagnosed as having colon—rectal cancer.  Of this population, 44% will die as a result of the disease.  Colon cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S. following lung cancer in both sexes.  At least  two million patients suffer from colitis, ileitis, diverticulitis and more than 100,000 Americans have a colostomy every year.  The American Cancer Society has provided evidence in recent years that environmental agents such as: insecticides in drinking water, drugs / hormones fed to animals, and carcinogens in the air we breathe may play a significant role in the development of colon—rectal cancer.

 Colon hydrotherapy addresses the cause or source of constipation problems.  Other methods treat  symptoms and provide temporary relief of  the problem.  Colon hydrotherapy will effectively cleanse the colon and promote the return of regular bowel elimination.  This cleansing procedure could prevent stagnation and possibly minimize the exposure of cancer causing agents to the colon wall.  The above combined effect may serve to rejuvenate the immunological system and truly be the pathway to a more vibrant health!
