Physicians are beginning to understand the importance of bowel care in the prevention of disease. Colon cleansing is preventative health care. The colon has no sensory nerves to warn you of trouble. Your colon suffers in silence from years of mistreatment. The walls of the colon can become packed with hardened feces and mucus from extended periods of intestinal overload. Autotoxemia is when the body literally poisons itself by reabsorbing this cesspool of decaying build up from the colon wall.

Colon and rectal cancer kills more people than prostate and breast cancer combined. Over 100,000 people have a colostomy (surgical removal of the colon) each year. In fact, colon and rectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in the yearly number of deaths.

Every person has cancer cells in their body. When a person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed. The immune system is compromised when the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy or radiation. This can cause various kinds of complications. Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment. Periodic cleansing of the colon could prevent stagnation and minimize the exposure to potential cancer causing toxins.

The degree to which the colon is inhabited by harmful bacteria, parasites and other dangerous organisms varies greatly among individuals. Constipation or diarrhea are usually the first signs of trouble. Danger signs include body odor, bad breath and fowl smelling stools or gas. During constipation you may observe a darkening of the stool plus a strong odor because of the longer transit time of your system. As a consequence, the colon will distribute the poisons of decay into the blood, creating a climate in which many symptoms and illness may appear.

It took time to pollute our bodies to the point of illness. It will take time to reverse the process through a series of bowel cleansings. Colonics gently cleanse and retrain the colon to work more effectively. Warm water used in the therapy supplies heat to the colon for relaxation. Cool water, also used in the therapy, can induce peristalsis in flaccid and elongated colons. The therapy has a definite calming effect on the nervous system. After the gentle insertion of a small tube into the rectum one disposable tube carries the water in, while another tube carries waste out. This is a gentle low-pressure system. No mess, no fuss, no odor.

Laxatives are the method of colon cleansing that is most popularly used today. Most laxatives work by irritating the colon wall so that it will contract unnaturally. Over time, these laxatives can become habit forming, as the colon will no longer move without this or stronger stimulation. An enema uses two quarts of water and typically only flushes out the lower end of the colon where waste matter collects. Enemas can be habitual.

A colonic on the other hand, flushes water through the entire colon which can soften years of dry hardened waste matter. Many of us have ten to twenty pounds of impacted feces in our colon. Your colon is a hollow tube like organ about 6 feet long. It is made up of muscle structures that move toxic material by wave like motions known as peristalsis.

Colon therapy is not a cure, but it is a valuable procedure for a wide variety of conditions. By stripping down the old, toxic mucus lining of the bowel, we remove the number one source of disease in the body. We open 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 a first step toward normalizing the bowel, so that friendly bacteria can be reintroduced to keep the colon safe. Colon hydrotherapy promotes overall health and hydration. A therapist is present continuously throughout the session. We incorporate colon massage and trigger points during the sessions to help give easy releases. We give you Trace Minerals as well as Bifidobacterium Lactus and Lactobacillus acidophilus after every session.
     
Everything we put in our mouths must travel through our digestive system, ending up in the colon for final elimination. We brush our teeth regularly, yet plaque still builds up. As a result of this continuous plaque build-up, we visit our dentist. Doesn't it make sense for us to attend to colon hygiene as well?
