Colon Hydrotherapy is referred to as colon irrigation, colonic's, colon therapy, or high enemas. All these are names for Colon Hydrotherapy Device's, which use safe filtered, temperature-controlled water for inner cleansing.

The colon is the last (5) five feet of the digestive tract. It is a hollow, tubelike organ made up of muscle structure that moves digested food along by a wavelike motion known as peristaltic action. The colon is the living area for a host of bacteria that produce vitamins, such as K and some B vitamins. The colon also absorbs water, nutrients, proteins and cell salts back into the blood stream.

One of the safest ways is a combination of diet, exercise and Colon Hydrotherapy. It is the gentle infusion of filtered, temperature-controlled water, into the colon, by way of a sterile-disposable rectal tube or speculum. Water in - waste matter flushed out.

The colon is a reflex organ, meaning there are electrical connections to all other parts and systems of the body. When waste material has accumulated over a long period of time it breaks down and becomes toxic. The body responds by slowing down other functions. This causes constipation and sluggish bowel movements which affect all other systems of the body.

The most miserable people on earth are people with inefficient elimination. Some of the signs of a toxic colon are: coated tongue, fetid breath, sallow complexion, abnormal body odor, dark circles under the eyes, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, chronic headaches, irritability, nervousness, nausea, depression, asthma, and backaches.

In addition to the normal amount of absorption taking place in the colon, the body absorbs extra water as needed at a rate the body sets.

No! Toxic Waste is found throughout the body. When toxins cannot be eliminated through the colon, liver, kidneys, perspiration or lungs, the body must store them in the tissue of the body. Some favorite spots for storage are fat cells, joints, muscles, arteries, the liver and other organs.

Colon Hydrotherapy works to soothe and tone the colon helping it to eliminate more efficiently. The function as a whole reduces the burden on other organs and the lymphatic system which is our main line of defense against harmful bacteria.

To clean out the lower part of the colon, enemas are fine. But, you are missing about four feet of the colon. Laxatives are an irritant to the body. Therefore, the body produces a thin, watery substance that goes through the colon and leaves behind impacted toxins and waste.

Colon Hydrotherapy is the gentle infusion of filtered, temperature-controlled water into the colon, which fills the colon allowing impacted toxins and waste to be removed. Usually with an experienced therapist that has been certified to use an FDA Device, more toxins and waste can be eliminated by working the different meridians and pressure points, by instructing you on breathing techniques, diet changes and the importance of food combining.

Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure used to assist, the body for a wide variety of different colon-related conditions. By retoning the bowel wall & improving colon functions, the entire body is able to function more efficiently.

Common effects may be: sinus drainage, a loosening of mucus in the lungs, improved range of motion, as well as skin tightening, feeling younger, posture automatically improving, abdomen softening and getting smaller, a relief from headaches, less fatigue and improved bowel function. The main benefit received by releasing the toxic waste is that we remove the number one source of disease in the body. The bowel works more efficiently in the elimination of waste, and nutrient absorption is improved.

When one feels the urge to eliminate and immediately honors the urge by a trip to the toilet, elimination is quick and painless and will feel complete. Stools are medium to light brown, have very little odor and will break up in the water.

When sufferers finally visit a physician, they usually relate a history of one or more of these complaints that go back years: constipation, coated tongue, fetid breath, sallow complexion, dark circles under the eyes, abnormal body odor, cold hands and feet, blood pressure up or down, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, menstrual problems, swelling of legs, asthma, backache, and loss of memory or concentration.

Personally, after reading many books written by medical Doctors, that have done research in this area, I agree with thier recomendation; a series of twelve over ten weeks is necessary. Two the first week. (one today / one tomorrow) two the second week. and one a week for the next eight weeks. The reason for that is the human body is exceptionally smart. When we clean out the colon, _ the body starts pulling waste out of the tissue and putting them into the blood stream. The waste heads for the liver, then back to the colon. Therefore, the second session on the second day is necessary so that the digested waste is eliminated rather than reabsorbed. The same reason applies to the following two the second week. After the first four, I then recommend one a week for eight weeks. This slows detoxification to a gentler-tolerable rate.

Few medical Doctors treat the whole person, they are specialists in a particular field. Their training is treating symptoms of disease. Up until about 1920, doctors had Colon Hydrotherapy device's in their offices. Then along came drugs, and from then on it was easier to prescribe. Recently, there has been a revived interest in using natural methods for healing the body. Colon Hydrotherapy is gaining respectability and popularity. Since year 2000, many Physicians that are members and/or certified with anti-aging network's are refering thier patients for sessions.

Colon Hydrotherapy Device's should have been through rigorous FDA testing and inspections. Always investigate how sterilization of the device, linens and surroundings is done. Most Colon Hydrotherapy facilities use disposables.

Colon Hydrotherapy is perfectly safe during this time, and will probably decrease the cramps which accompany a period.

(1) One way is to remove the toxins so the beneficial bacteria has a cleaner house to live in.
(2) The second way is to reintroduce the Bifidus Bacteria that normally populates the colon. (Bifidus "Friendly Bacteria" is available at most Health Food Stores.)

It is the failure of people to understand and interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better nutritional program combined with the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy.

It is the introduction of higher quality in place of lower quality nutrition.

If a person replaces a protein rich food such as beef, pork, or chicken. The beef may be considered the superior to pork, chicken is superior to beef and fish is superior to chicken, because of its more rapid digestibility and lower saturated fat content.

Lima beans. Lentils, or Chick-peas. Which are eaten at the same meal with vegetables, are all superior in all the nutrients needed to rebuild health. As we go higher in the scale of quality we begin to include protein rich foods which may be eaten in the unfried state. Nuts, Seeds should be eaten in the natural state ( RAW AND UNSALTED).

Look at it this way: the closer the food comes to the natural state in which it occurs, or the closer we come to its raw unfried form the higher its quality. In this condition all the enzymes are found intact. The amino acids are in their finest form. The minerals, vitamins, trace elements, carbohydrates and life forces are present. The life force, in turn is capable of reproducing Healthy Tissue.

One of the most important things you can do is to omit toxic substances such as coffee, tea, chocolate, salt, pepper, alcohol, and over the counter drugs, and synthetic vitamins.

In a nutshell: the higher the quality of food we eat, the quicker we recover from most disease provided we are able to digest and assimilate it properly. To this must be added the knowledge of:
(A) proper food combining
(B) proper order of eating the different kinds of food at a meal, and
(C) a clean colon for proper absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste.

The most easily digested food should be eaten first, the more complex ones second and the most concentrated items last. The correct quantity of food to be consumed (of each type) in the meal, and the correct time for eating (when hungry) and not by the clock.

Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. The amazing intelligence present in every cell of the human body and the wisdom of the body in its operation immediately becomes manifest. When the quality of the food coming into the body is of higher quality and elimination is improved the body begins to discard the lower grade material and tissue to make room for the superior material. This is the plan of nature. The body is very selective and always aims for improvement.

When a regular diet of stimulates such as coffee, tea, chocolate, and others are eliminated from your diet, some clients comment about headaches, and let down and sometimes even mild depression. This is usually when cleansing of the Colon helps. That is why Colon Hydrotherapy is recommended with back to back sessions the first two weeks.

This is due to the discard by the body of the toxins which are removed from the tissue and then transported by the blood to the liver and then the colon for eliminations. All the symptoms generally pass by the third or fourth session of Colon Hydrotherapy. Clients often tell me their energy level is very high after the second session. Many even have a great desire to Spring clean!

Colon Hydrotherapy retrains the muscle or the bowel to regain strength. After a series, most people regain the normal bowel function of one movement per day. A healthy bowel may have two to three bowel movements a day, depending on what you eat. Trouble is usually first recognized by an individual as constipation or diarrhea. These danger signs along with foul-smelling stool and gas may be overlooked. Golden brown used to be considered the normal color, but now that vegetables are recommended the color reflects the vegetables. During constipation, you may observe a darkening of the stool because of the much longer transition time in your system. The colon will distribute the results of decay, fermentation and putrefaction into the blood.

More than likely, considering many people have shown remarkable improvement. Once the colon is cleansed, the bowel may begin functioning normally. Toxins will stop being distributed into the body and will begin being expelled. The benefits can be wonderful once a dysfunctional colon is given a chance to function properly again.

An impacted colon can cause discomfort, and cramping may occur as the colon contracts to expel waste. Once the major impaction is removed, many actually find a session pleasant.

NO. Your dignity is completely maintained with proper draping in a private room. The odor during your bowel movements does not exist with FDA Registered Colon Hydrotherapy Device's! There is No Odor!

It may be more comfortable to refrain from eating at least two hours before your scheduled appointment. Drinking lots of good water and juices is a great idea.

Most people remark on how clean & light they feel. "Like I just took a bath on the inside!" Increased energy and feelings of well-being are the common responses.

According to Dr. John Kellogg, M.D., Founder of Kellogg Cereals, "The cause of a disease so universal in civilized communities must be very numerous to produce this condition in so great a number of people living under many different conditions and with different habits of life. In general, it may be said that the cause of constipation are abnormal habits or conditions of life, the result of what we call civilization. Primitive man rarely suffered from constipation!" Dr. Kellogg said adults are more likely to suffer from constipation than children, although the malady begins early in life. He further states that women are more subject than men to intestinal activity. In fact, he said four-fifths of all women suffer from constipation from their youth. onward. Briefly summarizing the several acts by which the colon empties are:
1.) Contraction of the diaphragm-occurs in deep breathing.
2.) Contraction of the abdominal muscle.
3.) Pressure of the thighs against abdomen. (As in squatting position assumed by primitive man.)*
4.) Reflex contraction of the abdominal muscles.
5.) Contraction of the colon.
6.) Relaxation of the anus.
7.) Contraction of the levator-ani muscles.
Any influence which interferes with a single one of these may cause constipation!

Note: * Special made stools/steps placed around toilet to accomplish the squatting position are available to purchase from most facilities.

In the early part of the century it was found that more than one hundred and sixty different species of bacteria have been found in the colon. Of these, more than one-third were found to possess pathogenic, or disease-producing, properties. Dr. Kellogg, M.D. points out more than twenty species of putrefactive bacteria which are found in the stool of flesh-eaters, all of which produce very highly toxic products. One of the most common and abundant of these is the bacillus of Welch which produces enormous quantities of offensive gas and highly active poison.

The first session may take longer than the follow up sessions. Plan about an hour and a half for the first session. The actual time on most FDA equipment is between thirty and forty-five minutes. After the first session, the body will know what to expect and become more relaxed.

FDA Registered Equipment will provide the necessary charcoal filtration system and ultraviolet purification units for your water safety.

Following large intestinal cleansing, the body may feel weary or relaxed. This is simply your body working out and processing through its 1 cleaning period; so, proper rest is important for your body to recuperate and rejuvenate.

1.) Drink plenty of liquids (purified water, juices, herb teas, and electrolyte liquids ).
2.) Eat healthy vegetable soups for 24 hours.
3.) Avoid eating raw vegetables for a couple of days. Steamed vegetables and raw fruit are sufficient, chew very thoroughly.
4.) Reduce flesh consumption. (Especially beef, pork, and chicken.)

One session will empty part of the colon. As many Doctors have written in articles, I also recommend two sessions the first week, (back to back - one today, one tomorrow) two sessions the second week, and one a week for the next eight weeks. After the fifth session, I have found that the colon starts to release the old, sludge waste. After completion of all twelve sessions, most clients return every couple of months for maintenance purposes. You will determine when to return. Ask your Doctor for a Prescription - "As Needed".

Many clients have reported that Colon Hydrotherapy has cleared up acne, allergies, as well as asthma. They also tell me about the increase in energy, and how calm they feel. Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure for a wide variety of many health problems. By retoning and improving elimination, we remove the number one source of disease in the body. In addition, we open up the bowel to a more efficient means of waste elimination and nutrient absorption, both of which are essential to any lasting healing process. This is also the first step towards normalizing the bowel so that the friendly bacteria will return to keep the colon safe from putrefaction and any further autointoxication.

Electrolytes are the minerals that are always necessary for the human body to maintain itself in a stable condition.

The confusion about electrolyte depletion in Colon Hydrotherapy seems to stem from one of two concepts. The first being that a large amount of waste being removed from the body by way of water is equitable with diarrhea or vomiting, and the second being that the body is being flooded with water, washing out or diluting the electrolytes, as in water intoxication.

Diarrhea is a result of the lining of the colon secreting large quantities of water and electrolytes in response to a chemical reaction. The water and accompanying electrolytes come from within the body, draining from the blood, tissue and cells. Diarrhea is also the result of rapid peristaltic action, which causes a drain of ions to the muscles of the colon. Colon Hydrotherapy does not pull water from the body's systems, or irritate the bowel. A Colon Hydrotherapy session and diarrhea are not similar.

Favorable bacteria (flora) are always present throughout the small & large intestines. Colon Hydrotherapy improves the bacteria "habitat" facilitating their reproduction and the IT multiplication. Antibiotics are the major cause of flora loss. We've all used them and / or regularly ingested them, perhaps unwittingly, in eating antibiotic-laden meat products, that are depleted of the necessary Enzymes to digest them.

NO. There is absolutely no discomfort. This is one of the most soothing therapies that can be performed. Some people become so relaxed that even fall asleep. This treatment is safe, painless and very effective.

Due to the complexity of the massage technique and the fire burning, it is advisable that you have someone assist you.

This process has been lost to common knowledge for many years and only a small but growing number of people know it is was originally used. Most doctors won’t use Ear Candling because they don’t believe it. Instead, they will wash your ears out insert Tympanotomy tubs in the ears. If they would look at the residue that comes out of the ears from Ear Candling and take that material and put it under a microscope, they would see it is living and active. It is the same substance they are attempting to remove. Laboratory analysis has shown the residue removed by Ear Candling consisted of ear wax, residuals of past infections fungus, bacteria, yeast/Candida, ear mites, worms, parasites of hair. Ear Candling is considered an OLD HOME REMEDY. True, it is not cure-all, but in many cases, it has proven to be a successful and economic alternative.

Approximately one hour. It usually takes 10 to 15 minutes for each candle to burn down to approximately 3 ½-4 inches using two candles in each ear.

It can be performed on the very young through the elderly. *A three month old baby had a severe infection. Half of a candle was used and all the pain was relieved. At the start, it was like water expelling up the candle. *Due to hearing loss, a 105 year old woman had to give up visiting friends and neighbors, her only joy in life. After having her ears candled, she was back to visiting. The blockage was caused by heavy ear wax.

When Candling a very young child, ½ to 1 Ear Candle per is all that is needed. Two Ear Candles per ear is the minimum in a session. Never exceed four Candles per ear in any one Candling session as the ear canal may get irritated and become swollen.

A person with A severe pain can be Candled three times (2 candles per ear) 48 hours apart. The better ear is Candled first and the problematic ear last. Candling isn’t just for removing ear wax. Other symptoms and ailments ca be relieved by using the Candling process as close together as 3 times within 10 days, over the course of 3 weeks. Do not Candle more than 3 times in 10 days. It takes the ears about twenty-four hours to replace their protective coating of wax if it has been removed; therefore, it is NOT advisable to do Ear Candling every day. Ear maintenance can be done with the change of seasons, once or twice a year, or whenever needed. This has to be an individual decision.

We highly recommend that candles be used only in the ears. However, we have found that by placing a candle into the plate guard or a piece of bread or toast then lighting the Candle and placing it on top of the navel of person with a stomach ache-they have noted a definite relief from pain in that area. We have also tried this procedure on the lower abdomen area when women experienced menstrual cramping; they also noted a definite relief from that discomfort.

Any person of any age.

We do not recommend it. There are Ear Candles on the market that are curved and made just for that purpose. It also takes a very experienced Ear Candler to use those candles and they don’t seem to give the desired results as when one ear is cleaned at a time. Also, the massage of the face and neck can not be done when doing both ears so my answer will remain a “NO” to this question.

Yes. People who have had recent ear, nose, throat, or sinus surgery of any kind, have tubes in their ears or experience any bleeding. Bleeding denotes serious ear problems such as a punctured ear drum and should always be referred to a Doctor.
