Colon Therapy – Doorway To Quality Health
What is Colon Irrigation?
Colon irrigation, Colonics and Colon Hydrotherapy all refer to the same process. Colon therapy is an essential and powerfully positive, effective process, towards cleansing the large intestinal tract (usually five to seven feet in length) and detoxifying the body’s entire system.
This process is achieved by introducing a continuous flow of purified water into the colon thereby stimulating the body into moving and eliminating accumulated toxic waste.
What is the procedure?
This gentle, gravity flow process sends purified warm water through a small tube, known as a speculum, whereby gradually irrigating the large intestine. As the water begins to soften and loosen the aged-old fecal mater and gas, the body will automatically and gradually eliminates the waste product. On some occasions, apple cider vinegar, chlorophyll or acidophilus is added to the water to further enhance greater pH, toxic elimination or colon support. Many sessions are required to completely remove years of old fecal mater, odor, gas and abdominal weight. The number is determined by the patient’s response and personally guided dietary transformations.
During the colonic the patient shall receive abdominal massage, infrasonic chi, knee meridian pressure point, foot reflexology and nutritional guidance for a healthier colon and quality life. The entire process assists in breaking-up impaction of old dry fecal mater, rotting food and gas. Animal proteins, especially mats, putrefy while grains, especially processed, ferment. When these two food categories are consumed in the same meal health maladies prevail. Both a descended potbelly and an oversized rotund inflated abdomen are classic signs of colon toxicity and the results of improper dietary habits.
At the completion of the session, the patient may continue to eliminate additional fecal mater and gas. We shall provide the patient with an acidophilus, electrolyte, mineral drink to further benefit the entire colonic procedure. Details pertaining to dietary changes and written information is provided for the patient’s continued healing and transformation between the colon irrigation therapy sessions.
What are the symptoms of an impacted large intestine?
A distended abdomen is a definite sign of a more serious large intestinal problem. Obvious symptoms are halitosis, foul-smelling stools, acne, skin rashes and irritations, lower back pain, knee pains, flatulence (gas), diarrhea, headaches, sinus infections, excess mucus, constipation, fatigue, painful joints, insomnia, bladder infections, prostate discomfort, depression, mood swings, low-sex
drive, abdominal bloat, nausea, and anxiety. Autointoxication plays a large role in the development of diseases in the female genito-urinary apparatus; this may be regarded as intestinal stasis. Potential misdiagnosed gallbladder ailments are possibly severe blockages within the large intestinal hepatic flexure. When a patient receives colonics many symptoms or problems are reduced or possibly eliminated.
It may be said that almost every chronic disease known is directly or indirectly due to the influence of bacterial poisons absorbed from the intestines. The colon is a sewage system, your personal garbage disposal, by neglect and abuse it transforms into a cesspool. When it is clean and normal we feel healthy and balanced; allow it to stagnate, and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation and purification into the blood thus poisoning the brain and nervous system so that one becomes mentally depressed and irritable; it will poison the heart so that one is weak and listless; poisons the lungs so that the breath is foul; poisons the digestive organs so that one is distressed and bloated; and poisons the blood so that the skin is sallow and unhealthy. In short, every organ of the body becomes poisoned, we age prematurely, look and feel old, joints are stiff and painful; neuritis, dull eyes and a sluggish brain overtakes one’s health, thus the pleasure of living and thoroughly enjoying life is gone.
When the bowel is toxic it can harbor a variety of harmful bacteria and parasites. It’s interesting to note that worms outrank cancer as man’s deadliest enemy on a worldwide basis. It is estimated that 200 million people are highly infected, while the remaining population stores a smaller number of these internal parasites.
These parasites shall range in size from microscopic to twenty-foot long tapeworms! These parasites kill more people annually than cancer. The greater amount of fecal matter stored in the colon the greater the potential number of parasites. One in four people in the world today are infected by roundworms.
Who Benefits from Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon problems such as colitis, diverticulitis and ileitis effects approximately two million people in this country alone. These problems can be addressed and relieved through colon irrigation therapy plus optimum dietary transformation.
People who suffer from abdominal distention, bloating, gas pains, stomachaches and even someone who quickly is filled following a meal of a small amount of food are candidates for Colon Hydrotherapy.
Hemorrhoids are the direct result from attempting to force bowel movements. The need to force a bowel movement is due to dry, hard, old feces, which happens to be the result of a poor diet. Colon Irrigation therapy will assist in the relief and elimination of hemorrhoids.
All kinds of skin problems may benefit from the therapeutic application of Colon Therapy. Your skin is the largest excretory organ in the body. When the colon is sluggish or clogged up that is an indication that an abundant of toxins exists within the large intestine. The skin will then react as an elimination organ in attempt to rid the body of poisons and toxins; this is noticeable with eczema, psoriasis and acne/blemishes (especially on the back and face.) Unhealthy skin is a sign of an unhealthy colon. Your Colon is your septic/garbage disposal. When it gets stopped up numerous health problems will arise; this is the body’s attempt to warn you of potentially more serious health problems. No amount of antibiotics, skin creams or medication will alleviate the external problems; the cause must be treated first.
Arthritis and other joint related problems are effectively treated to diminish pain and swelling. A series of Colon Irrigations are advised along with a positive change towards a healthier eating regime. Too many of the incorrect foods place the body out of balance, thus contributing to toxic build-up, pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, the “internal toxemia” the patient experiences is continually absorbed into the system contributing to greater inflammation and aggravation of the joints and bones.
Cancer patients greatly benefit from Colon Therapy. Cancer cells plus a toxically packed colon prohibits the body from adequately assimilating proteins. Generally many Cancer patients are also deficient in sufficient amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids and a healthy diet for their personal blood type and gland type. Colon Irrigations may certainly prove highly beneficial towards enhancing ones’ ability to absorb macro and micronutrients. It is absolutely mandatory that a Cancer or Aids patients maintain healthy bowel elimination to allow their body to heal and restore itself. Bowel elimination is mandatory to effectively remove toxins and poisons from the body. One reason many Cancer patients die too soon is because the toxemia is unable to leave their bodies. As Cancerous tumors are being broken down, the body must effectively eliminate all the toxic products.
Contraindication for Cancer patients: those persons who are too weak or maintain a highly acidic colon. If mucous membranes in the large intestine become too irritated, colon irrigations may prove to be too harsh a treatment. In that case confer with your Naturopathist for a healthy dietary approach towards elimination. A diet to reduce the acid and increase the alkaline is advised.
Toxins Within the Colon
Many poisons are known to exist within the Colon may produce the most detrimental effects:
Agamatine, Ammonia, Botulin, Butyric Acid (not to be confused with 4-Phenyl-n-butyric Acid), Cadaverin, Cresol, Histidine, Indican Indoethylamine, Indol, Methylgardinine, Methylmercaptan, Muscarine, Neurin, Pentamenthylendiamine, Phenol, Ptomarropine, Putrescin, Sepsin, Sulpherroglobine, Sulphurretted Hydrogen, Urrobilin
In many cases, these toxins will seep out of the colon to poison the remainder of the body. Some examples of toxic poisoning are:
- Weaken and stress the heart.
- Poisons enter the skin and create blemishes, paleness and skin disorders.
- Liver spots, Psoriasis, wrinkles, etc.
- Irritate your lungs and mouth, thus foul breath – halitosis.
- Toxins enter the brain and may contribute to mental imbalance and senility.
- Contribute to many joint and bones pains, stiffness, swelling and weakness.
- Cause muscle pains, cramps, weakness and fatigue.
- Inability to sleep soundly fatigued mentally and physically.
- Age the body faster than desired, destroy your health and cause you to become Old.
Understanding Constipation
Constipated means that the large intestine is packed with feces and gas; this has accumulated over weeks, months and years. Packed fecal matter causes difficult bowel evacuation. It is imperative to note that a state of Constipation can occur when movements of the bowels seem “normal”…there is apparently much-accumulated feces somewhere along the passageways of the colon. Many people sincerely believe that there daily or multiple daily bowel movements is indicative of no constipation. Generally this awareness is the furthest from the truth. If you happen to have a distended belly that is a sure sign that you are loaded with feces and not necessarily fat!
A large number of Health authorities sincerely believe that constipation is the number one contributing affliction underlying every ailment. Life and death begins in the Colon. With this thought, constipation would be the most prevalent ailment affecting the civilized world, especially the US. Constipation affects the health of the colon, upon which the health of the body in its entirety depends.
Constipation contributes to the lowering of the body resistance predisposing it to numerous acute illnesses and the beginning of degenerative and chronic processes. Nearly every human ailment has been attributed to a malfunctioning colon. Intestinal constipation causes cellular constipation. It forces other organs to become overworked and fatigued – heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, skin, lungs, lymph, etc. The functioning of these organs becomes depleted, overworked, sluggish and unhealthy; repair and growth and healing become delayed, the ability to eliminate waste materials is lowered. The healthy cells within the body become deficient, dead and inactive, this increases poor health and a decline in tissue and organ function ability.
Civilization destroys quality health. We must become an educated consumer and be aware of what is healthy to consume and what is unhealthy. Consumption of devitalized, vitamin-enriched, processed, and chemically induced foods are one primary reason the colon poorly eliminates. Sufficient high moisture foods and water is mandatory for a healthy colon, thus a healthy body. Fifty percent of your daily diet MUST be raw vegetables and fruits plus a minimum of sixty-four ounces of pure water.
What about Laxatives?
Don’t take them. Too many laxatives will contribute to a lazy colon, thus a potential prolapsed colon. A prolapsed colon is the result of the large intestine not using its’ muscles, becomes sluggish and the transverse portion of the colon drops. Fortunately Colon Hydrotherapy can effectively strengthen the transverse. If constipated and pregnant consult with a Nutritionist or Naturopath for a healthy naturally safe herbal remedy.
Healthy Bowel Movements
We must have a healthy, normal bowel movement for every meal that we consume, each and everyday. If we eat three meals per day, we must have three bowel movements per day. When we were infants are bowels functioned healthy and regular. Food in, fecal out!
When we have less than two bowels movements per day, food residues accumulate for more than twelve hours, purification and fermentation begins and the insides begin rotting, aging and becoming ill. Any nutritional elements present in the fecal matter passes into the bloodstream as polluted products, thus toxemia commences. Pimples and other skin blemishes are generally the first sign of toxemia. We suggest a high quality parasite herbal cleanse program to eliminate bowel blockage and assist with the potential prevention of Colon health problems such as Colon Cancer.
A healthy bowel movement must be eighteen inches long (for an adult,) one solid piece, light golden brown in color, one inch in diameter, odorless and floats in the toilet basin. Anything other than that is unhealthy. Broken apart, hard, dark, odor, large or loose stools are the indication of purification and constipation and thus the beginning of poor health. Use this as your barometer for quality health as a result from quality eating. Contact your Naturopathist for a detailed healthy dietary regime.
