GOOD HEALTH
The desire for good
health is something we
all share. We spend
countless thousands of
dollars treating the
symptoms of disease
and a portion of our
income to health
insurance to cover our
expenses for cancer,
heart disease, etc in
the event our bodies
should succumb to
these diseases. Yet
very little is
invested in the
prevention of disease
which costs far less
than the treatment One
example of this is
cancer of the colon.
We don’t hear much
about it, yet it is
second only to heart
disease as the most
common cause of death
in the United States.
While few would argue
the importance our
diet plays in our
health, the removal of
toxic waste from our
bodies is important
too. You see, good
health is as much a
function of how well
we eliminate wastes
from our bodies as how
well we eat.
ABOUT THE COLON
The colon is a tube
approximately 5 feet
long and 2 1/2 inches
in diameter. A healthy
colon has uniform size
and tone and extends
from the cecum, where
it joins the small
intestine, up and
across the abdominal
cavity and down the
left side of the body
until it reaches the
sigmoid and rectum.
The main functions of
the colon are.
1) The final digestion
of our food.
2) The elimination of
the digestive residue
of food we have eaten.
3) The discharge of
toxins and wastes from
our body.
We experience better
health and well-being
when the colon is dean
and functioning
normally. When the
colon is congested
with stagnant wastes,
poisons back up and
pollute the inner
environment. . This is
called
autointoxication. All
of the body’s tissues
are, affected by
autointoxication.
WHAT MAKES A
COLONIC SO IMPORTANT?
While the lungs, skin,
kidneys and liver also
serve to eliminate
toxins, people have
experienced throughout
history that when they
ensure that the colon
is cleansed and
rejuvenated the
well-being of the
whole body is greatly
enhanced. Colonic
irrigation has been
found to be the most
effective process
available to
accomplish this work
quickly and easily.
WHY SHOULD I HAVE A
COLONIC?
The colon is the last
portion of the human
digestive tract Waste
material, especially
that which has
remained in the colon
for some time, poses
problems of toxicity
and impairs the
colon’s ability to
assimilate minerals
and vitamins. During
colon cleansing, toxic
material is broken
down so it can no
longer harm your body
or inhibit
assimilation and
elimination. Debris
built up over a long
period of time is
gently removed in a
series of colon
irrigations. When
impacted material is
removed, your colon
begins to function
like it was meant to.
The build up of toxic
debris weakens the
colon. The gentle
filling and emptying
of the colon improves
the tonicity and
peristalsis (muscular
contractions) of the
colon muscle, enabling
it to move fecal
material in a more
timely fashion.
Colon Hydrotherapy
reshapes the colon
muscle. When problems
exist in the colon,
they tend to alter the
shape of the colon,
which in turn causes
more problems. The
gentle action of the
water, accompanied by
specialized massage
techniques, helps to
eliminate bulging
pockets of waste and
narrowed, spastic,
constrictions thus
enabling the colon to
return to its natural
state. The process of
colonic irrigation is
excellent for
cleansing and healing
the colon so that
changes in diet,
exercise and attitude
are then able to
produce their effects.
Many people find the
relief provided by
colonics stimulates
the motivation and
enthusiasm to
institute positive
life-style changes.
Colon Hydrotherapy
cannot solve all
health problems, but
is a very important
adjunctive therapy in
the overall quest for
vibrant health.
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is one of
the first signs that
our bowel is not
functioning properly.
When a person is
constipated, the walls
of the colon are often
encrusted with
accumulated fecal
material. The inner
diameter of the colon
is reduced, making it
more difficult to pass
wastes. Since the
encrusted feces line
the colon wall, the
colon is Unable to
absorb nutrients from
our food. Wastes from
the blood stream that
would normally be
drawn into the colon
through the colon wall
are reabsorbed by the
body along with other
toxins resulting from
the fermentation and
putrefaction of
incompletely digested
food. Subsequent
intestinal stasis
often follows when the
muscular contractions
(peristalsis) can no
longer sweep the
hardened feces along
the digestive canal.
You may have several
bowel movements a day,
and still be
constipated. The
movements will be
smaller and more
frequent, because the
inner diameter of the
colon has been
reduced. The body
reacts by increasing
the frequency of the
peristalsis wave
action to eliminate
waste from the body.
Taken to the extreme,
the effects can be
diarrhea, where the
body moves the waste
so rapidly that the
bowel does not have
the time to remove
water and condense the
waste of a normal
stool.
HOW MANY COLONICS
DO I NEED?
The number of
treatment will always
vary with the
individual and ‘his or
her condition. Often
the waste is so hard
and well lodged in the
colon that it may take
a series of colonics
to sufficiently soften
and loosen this
accumulated fecal
material. Some people
may not have startling
results for the first
few treatments. This
is why a series of
treatments is
necessary and
advisable. Colonic
irrigation is most
effective when
employed in.
combination with
exercise and proper
diet of non-mucous
producing foods. Fresh
fruits, vegetables and
certain herbs are
suggested to help
loosen and dissolve
accumulated fecal
matter. The suggested
series would be two
colonics per week for
eight (8) weeks. Once
the colon Is clean it
is advisable to have a
colonic every four to
six weeks to maintain
the environment.
WHAT IS COLON
IRRIGATION?
A colon 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 no
discomfort, no
internal pressure,
just a steady 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 wave
action.
HOW A COLONIC IS
ADMINISTERED.
A person receiving a
colonic lies on a
table below the
temperature-controlled
input tank. A
sterilized disposable
instrument is gently
inserted in the,
rectum. Water flow,
which is always under
the direct control of
the licenses
therapist, flows into
the colon via a small
water tube and out
through the evacuation
tube carrying with it
impacted feces and
mucus. As the water
flows out of the
colon, the therapist
gently massages the
abdomen to help the
colon release its
contents. It is
sometimes possible to
see this expelled
waste matter when it
passes through a
special viewing window
in the evacuation
tube. The person is
well covered and their
modesty is given top
priority during the
procedure. The colonic
process takes only 20
to 30 minutes.
WHAT ARE THE
BENEFITS OF COLON
IRRIGATION?
Colonics offer relief
from a variety of
disturbances by
cleansing the colon of
impacted and putrid
fecal matter. Fatigue,
gas, headaches,
irritability skin
problems, cold hands
and feet, lethargy are
among the problems
people have found
relieved by colon
cleansing.
Constipation, of
course, is another as
well as chronic
diarrhea. Your sense
of well being is often
dramatically improved
with colon
Irrigations. You feel
lighter more
energetic, the body
can again assimilate
food in the colon and
better defend itself
against disease.
Natural peristalsis,
tone and regularity
are restored and many
serious diseases may
be averted through
this gentle, sterile,
scientific technique.
Colonics are a key
factor in the
restoration of the
body’s natural balance
or what we call good
health.
FACTORS LEADING TO
TOXICITY?
There are many
contributing factors
to autointoxication
from a toxic bowel.
Improper diet,
insufficient exercise,
stress, overeating and
ignoring the “call of
nature” can all lead
to bowel problems.
Most of us, for
instance, have had
years of poor to
average nutritional
food. Much of our food
is subjected to
processing which
includes refining,
frying and over
cooking, saturating
the mineral elements
of our food with oil
or grease. As a result
of this food altering,
the digestive organs
cannot process the
minerals efficiently
and they are passed
out of the small
intestine into the
colon as wastes. The
consumption of mucous
producing foods such
as meat, dairy
products, and flour,
cause dense sticky
bowel movements.
Excess mucous in our
system is a sign of
trouble. Mucous stools
are difficult for the
body to eliminate.
When they are
expelled, they leave
behind a glue-like
coating on the walls
of the colon which
accumulates layer by
layer into a hard
rubbery crust. The
body cannot eliminate
these layers of
hardened mucous on its
own. They are often
carried for the
duration of the
person’s life as toxic
burden.
Incompletely digested food ferments and putrefies when remaining in the colon longer than a day. When this fermented waste combines with the body’s own bile acids from the liver, carcinogens can ultimately develop into colon or rectal cancers. Enhancing the colon’s ability to expedite the elimination of waste reduces the risks of developing colon-rectal canoes
ARE THERE ANY SIDE
EFFECTS TO COLONICS?
There are none. it is
not uncommon however,
for some people to
start to feel like
they have a cold or
headache after a
colonic. Toxins which
have been lying
dormant in the colon
are now being flushing
out and a small amount
may be reabsorbed into
the body's system.
this healing crisis
passes quickly and the
person will realize a
feeling of well-being
with future
treatments.
