Colon Hydrotherapy, colonics and colon irrigation all refer to the same process. It is a |
|
| |
|
safe, gentle cleansing of the colon without the use of drugs. Colonics clean the colon |
|
| |
|
of old fecal matter, so toxins are not absorbed back into the body. It is one of the most |
|
| |
|
powerful and effective ways of cleansing and detoxifying the overall system and is |
|
| |
|
becoming well known as a tool for the prevention of disease. Top |

What to expect for your first colonic? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
The colonic session lasts between 30-50 minutes. Plan to be here for 90 minutes on |
|
| |
|
your first visit. We will go over the procedure, your health concerns and intentions for |
|
| |
|
the colonic. You will be covered and your privacy and dignity will be maintained at all |
|
| |
|
times. The session will start out with you lying on a massage table. We start with
|
|
| |
|
a gentle abdominal massage. Once the tubing is safely hooked up to the machine |
|
| |
|
and inserted into the rectum the procedure will begin with water gently being flushed |
|
| |
|
into the colon. Your body naturally releases the water. There is no sucking or pulling |
|
| |
|
from the machine. The water and matter will flow through a viewing tube and out |
|
| |
|
through the septic. There is rarely a mess or smell. The colon therapist will monitor |
|
| |
|
the session the entire time. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
After the session you may carry on with the rest of your day. Depending on the state of |
|
| |
|
your body, you may feel quite energetic or tired. Many people feel lighter after the |
|
| |
|
session. You may eat after the session. Top |

Some people find the entire idea embarrassing. Bowel movements are not |
|
| |
|
commonly talked about in a standard North American household. It is simply an |
|
| |
|
internal bath. You will be completely covered and your privacy respected at all times. |
|
| |
|
Our therapist are well trained and sessions conducted in a professional manner. |

The process of cleaning the colon is as old as man’s civilization. Colon Cleansing is |
|
| |
|
not a new concept, but it seems to have fallen by the wayside in modern times. |
|
| |
|
(Sandra Duggan R.N.) The practice of flushing out waste from the colon dates as far |
|
| |
|
back as 1300 B.C. Early fathers of medicine Hippocrates and Galen were strong |
|
| |
|
promoters of colon cleansing as a medicinal tool. It was also recorded in 1500 B.C in |
|
| |
|
an ancient Egyptian Medical document. |
|
| |
|
The French physician, Ambrosia Pare was the first to describe colon hydrotherapy in |
|
| |
|
detail and to set it apart from an enema. The 1906 edition of the Larousse Illustrated |
|
| |
|
Medical Dictionary includes information on the uses of enemas and colon |
|
| |
|
hydrotherapy. During the 20th century, physicians Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (Kellogg's |
|
| |
|
cereal), Dr. Norman Walker and Dr. Bernard Jensen stressed the importance of |
|
| |
|
receiving regular colonics as part of a healthy lifestyle. In fact, until the 1930's, colon |
|
| |
|
hydrotherapy was commonly practiced in many hospitals and doctors' offices, |
|
| |
|
attesting to its legitimacy. Unfortunately, the surge of pharmaceutical drugs put the |
|
| |
|
practice of colon hydrotherapy on the back burner until recently. People are now |
|
| |
|
realizing the health depriving consequences of depending on too many |
|
| |
|
pharmaceuticals and processed foods and they are turning back to natural health |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
How was Colon hydrotherapy performed that long ago? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
In Ancient Egypt, a ram’s horn or gourd was hollowed out and utilized as the first |
|
| |
|
primitive colonic irrigation machine. Later, enema pots and plants (reeds) shaped in |
|
| |
|
the form of tubing were constructed. Sophisticated colonic irrigation equipment was |
|
| |
|
perfected in the 20th century. Top |

Why do we hear so much about cleansing today? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Today we are negatively effected by many toxic and hazardous ways of living some of |
|
| |
|
which include: busy schedules, high stress levels, a dependence on nutrient- |
|
| |
|
deficient processed and fast foods, chemicals and preservatives, sedentary lifestyles, |
|
| |
|
alcohol consumption, smoking, recreational and prescription drug use, coffee |
|
| |
|
addiction, thousands of toxic chemicals in household and industrial products, |
|
| |
|
pollution and food that is grown in mineral depleted soil. The above list contains |
|
| |
|
some of the health robbing problems in today's world, contributing to a general |
|
| |
|
decline in the population's health, producing conditions from fatigue to more serious |
|
| |
|
chronic and disease states. Today many people are searching for their lost vitality, |
|
| |
|
wondering what happened to their energy. The billions of dollars spent by Canadians |
|
| |
|
on supplementation and the incredible interest in alternative medicine of late, is a |
|
| |
|
sign that people are not satisfied with their level of health. Colon hydrotherapy will |
|
| |
|
play an important role in helping you to achieve and maintain optimal health and |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|

| |
|
What will colonics do for my colon? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Cleanse: the toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or |
|
| |
|
inhibit assimilations and elimination. The water helps get rid of old debris so your |
|
| |
|
colon can begin to cooperate and do what it is meant to do. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Exercise and tone the muscles: the build up on toxic debris weekends the colon and |
|
| |
|
impairs its functioning. The gentle filling of water helps stimulate the peristalsis |
|
| |
|
(muscle contractions) activity by which the colon naturally moved material. Each |
|
| |
|
session we are trying to tone the muscles so they can function naturally. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Reshape the colon: When the colon is filled with bulging pockets or matter or spastic |
|
| |
|
constrictions, the water, along with massage techniques from your therapist will help |
|
| |
|
eliminate waste from the problem areas, enabling the colon to help resume its |
|
| |
|
natural shape. (However this is never guaranteed) |
|
| |
|
For prolapsed colons (transverse colon sagging down beyond the actual position) a |
|
| |
|
series of 6 sessions is strongly recommended. We also encourage the right blend of |
|
| |
|
fibre and complete abdominal exercises to help bring the colon back to its normal |
|
| |
|
shape. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Stimulate reflex points: every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon |
|
| |
|
by reflex points. A colonic stimulates these points, thereby affecting the corresponding |
|
| |
|
body parts in a beneficial way. (Similar to reflexology) Top |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
I have a bowel movement everyday and am “healthy” do I need a colonic? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
In an ideal work you want to have three bowel movements a day or after you have has |
|
| |
|
a substantial meal. Envionmental toxins and limitations on good quality food these |
|
| |
|
days can still cause stress on your colon. A colonic again can simply be a |
|
| |
|
preventative measure to keeping your colon happy and healthy. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Colonics will also help the following signs of toxic material in your colon: |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
headaches, |
|
| |
|
backaches, |
|
| |
|
constipation, |
|
| |
|
fatigue, |
|
| |
|
bad breath, |
|
| |
|
body odour, |
|
| |
|
irritability, |
|
| |
|
confusion, |
|
| |
|
skin blemishes, |
|
| |
|
abdominal gas, |
|
| |
|
bloating, |
|
| |
|
diarrhea, |
|
| |
|
sciatic pain, |
|
| |
|
candida and on and on. Top |

Why is your colon so important? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
When the colon is happy- all other organs are happier as the colon is the root to all of |
|
| |
|
your organs and all are interconnected! Think of your garbage collector. What would |
|
| |
|
happen if all the garbage collectors when on strike. What if you had no where to put |
|
| |
|
your garbage, but to throw it in your back yard? Would you still want to live there? No. |
|
| |
|
Well if you have no where to put the garbage from your body, then your organs won’t |
|
| |
|
want to live there either. Top |

Will colonics get rid of all my parasites?
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
This really depends. Parasites can also live up inside your gall bladder and liver, |
|
| |
|
therefore we cannot say that simply doing a colonic treatment can get rid of your |
|
| |
|
parasites because we don’t know for sure where they are all located. We can help get |
|
| |
|
rid of parasites, but I would strongly recommend doing a parasite cleanse guided by |
|
| |
|
your health practitioner along with your series of colonics. Top |

Why doesn’t my Medical Dr. recommend this to me? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Many medical doctors are not training in this area along with nutrition or other |
|
| |
|
alternative practices. Some of them see colon hydrotherapy as dangerous or they |
|
| |
|
don’t quite understand the process and benefits of this procedure. |

Are Colonics dangerous in any way? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Colon Hydrotherapy is just like an internal bath. Bathing on the outside is just as |
|
| |
|
important as bathing on the inside. It is a natural process that as long as a skilled |
|
| |
|
therapist performs the treatment there shouldn’t be any harm at all. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Our equipment is completely sanitized, we use disposable tubing and we have a |
|
| |
|
pressure gauge to monitor if there is any pressure on the colon. The pressure gauge |
|
| |
|
will let us know that it is time to release; therefore we NEVER put any pressure on the |
|
| |
|
colon or have any worrying about rupturing the colon. We also are always in contact |
|
| |
|
with the client to make sure everything feels completely comfortable. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
We also have four different filter systems taking out all chlorine, sediment, particles |
|
| |
|
and an Ultra Violet light that destroys 99% of all bacteria. I would never want to drink |
|
| |
|
water that was not free from chlorine and any harmful bacteria; therefore we would |
|
| |
|
never want to put that kind of water inside of you. Top |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
I heard that Colonics destroy all the good bacteria in the colon as well. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Chlorine and antibiotics can destroy most good bacteria in the colon. Colonics |
|
| |
|
however help eliminate all the putrefied material to help increase the good intestinal |
|
| |
|
flora. We do recommend taking a probiotic supplement to plant the “seed” and allow |
|
| |
|
all the good bacteria to really nourish the intestines. Top |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Can’t I just use Enemas, suppositories or laxatives? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Everything has its proper place, but those methods aren’t really substitutes for |
|
| |
|
colonics. Enemas are useful for people who are severely constipated and need at |
|
| |
|
least something moving. They will empty the rectum only. They reach about 8-12 just |
|
| |
|
inches, where a colonic will go a lot further around your colon. Suppositories are also |
|
| |
|
for the very base of the colon, the rectum. Many laxatives have harsh chemicals in |
|
| |
|
them and can irritate the colon more then anything and some people can actually |
|
| |
|
lose their natural peristalsis if they become too dependant upon them. Natural |
|
| |
|
laxatives or colon cleanses will definitely help eliminate matter; also a colonic will |
|
| |
|
help eliminate, strengthen the colon walls like no other. It is definitely the ultimate |
|
| |
|
method for colon cleansing. Top |

More and more of us are choosing to recognize our self responsibility for health and |
|
| |
|
well being. Natural and Holistic methods of living, healing and treating the body have |
|
| |
|
been around for centuries, long before pharmaceuticals, machines, technology. |
|
| |
|
Holistic practitioners and Naturopathic Doctors try to determine the CAUSE of |
|
| |
|
disease rather then treating or masking the symptoms. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
I personally believe we were given all the resources on this planet to sustain a |
|
| |
|
healthy lifestyle and it is up to us the individual to self educate and learn what |
|
| |
|
promotes love, balance and heath to our body and what creates disease and |
|
| |
|
discomfort to our bodies. We can take this information to control what we can, to |
|
| |
|
nourish our bodies, let nature do the rest and not stress about the areas we can't |
