Colonic Irrigation
During a colonic irrigation session, a safe and gentle infusion of warm filtered water flushes accumulated waste and toxins from the colon. It is an extended and more complete form of an enema. Colonic irrigation is an effective and natural cleansing therapy.
Our centre maintains the best practice and highest standard of hygiene that includes the use of sterile, disposable equipment. We use LIBBE (Lower Intestinal Bottom Bowel Evacuation) FDA approved colon hydrotherapy equipment.
The session takes about 45 - 60 minutes.
Colon Hydrotherapy Frequently Asked Questions
Is colonic irrigation embarrassing?
No mess, no fuss, no odour – in fact, a very relaxing experience. After the (pencil thin) tube is gently inserted one to two inches into your bottom you are then completely covered during the entire procedure.
Is the procedure painful?
Rarely. Sometimes during the procedure, the muscles of the colon contract suddenly, expelling considerable liquid and waste into the rectum. The contraction may feel like cramping or gas with pressure in the rectum. Most of the process is mild and gentle with a wonderfully light and empty feeling afterwards.
Will one cleansing completely empty the colon?
Almost never. Many of us may have up to 12 kilos or more of impacted faeces in our colon. This faeces is hardened, rubbery material and substantial work must be dome to remove it. One cleansing removes some, the second, more. Your personal objectives will determine how many colonics you wish to have.
Does colon hydrotherapy wash away all bacteria, even the good?
If your bowel is toxic you have little or not good intestinal flora to begin with. As in gardening, if you do not prepare the soil and fertilise the ground, plants will not live. The helpful bacteria can only live in an acidic environment, whereas the harmful ones thrive in an alkaline environment. Most people, due to years of improper eating, lack of exercise and poor elimination, have an alkaline colon.
The great benefit of the cleansing program is to change the environment form alkaline to acid. If we make conditions favourable in the colon for bifidophilus and acidophilus cultures – the good bacteria – they will populate. Removing toxic material and gases is the first step. Replenishing good bacteria can be accomplished by oral supplementation and by adding bifidophilus/acidophilus as an additive after your colonic treatment.
What other benefits may I expect from colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure used to assist the body with a wide variety of colon-related conditions. By re-toning the bowel wall and improving colon functions, the entire body is able to function more efficiently.
Common effects are sinus drainage, a loosening of mucous in the lungs, improved range of motion, skin tightening, feeling younger, clearing up of acne and skin condition, improved posture, abdomen softening and shrinking, relief from headaches, less fatigue, and improved bowel function. Colon hydrotherapy works to soothe and tone the colon, helping it to eliminate ore efficiently. The function as a whole reduces the burden on other organs and lymphatic system. The main benefit received from releasing the old toxic waste is that we remove the number one source of disease in the body. The bowel then works more efficiently in eliminating the waste, and nutrient absorption is improved.
Will laxatives or enemas accomplish the same results?
Using an enema you are missing some of the colon. During a colonic, the water goes all the way through the colon or bowel to the ileocecal valve (this is where the small and large intestine meet). If you do not have access to a colonic, however, an enema can be a good option for immediately removing toxins. Laxatives are an irritant, causing the body to produce a thin, watery substance that goes through the colon and leaves behind impacted toxins and waste on the walls of the colon. Laxatives can also become very habit forming.
Can one become dependent on it? Could the colon stop functioning on its own?
Colon hydrotherapy retrains the muscle of the bowel to regain strength. The bowel muscle is forced to work against the water, providing resistance much like a weight provides resistance against a muscle in bodybuilding. After the bowel has regained its strength, it works better on its own. Colonics are like “colon aerobics.”
Is the procedure safe and sanitary?
With the use of high-tech disposable apparatus, the equipment is made “new” every session. There is total hygienic safety, superior even to sterilization.
A healthy colon is the key to living a healthy life!
The colon (large intestine, is the end portion of the human digestive tract. The colon is approximately 5 – 5 ½ feet long and 2 ½ inches in diameter. Its major functions are to conserve water in the body…and to eliminate waste from the body. There are “friendly” bacteria living in the healthy colon, which synthesize valuable nutrients such as vitamins ‘K’ and portions of the ‘B’ complex. But unfortunately…
The average person does not have a healthy colon!
I’ll bet you didn’t know that the average person – one who is neither overweight nor noticeably allergic to things – might have 4 to 10 kilograms of dried fecal matter in their colon! But that’s for someone who is at normal weight for his or her height and age…
If you’re overweight or a highly allergic person… You might be carrying around a lot more than that!
The typical diet, consisting of highly processed fats, low fibre, refined junk foods… including flour, meat, fat, sugar, alcohol, preservatives and toxins, is the primary reason the colon becomes so unhealthy. The toxins generated from accumulated waste matter in the colon are responsible for many body imbalances…which can lead to very serious weight and health problems!
Furthermore, the average diet includes less than a fraction of the fibre foods necessary to promote elimination of toxins from the body. Poor diet, improper food combining and lack of dietary fibre make maintenance of a healthy colon virtually impossible. As a consequence…
It is very common to find people with unhealthy and weakened digestive systems!
“Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the colon/digestive tract as either a primary contributor… or a secondary problem which accentuates slowdowns in other critical body systems, like the endocrine (glandular) system and the circulatory system.”
Toxins present in the unhealthy colon can be transported into the circulatory system… and soon the body may be unable to properly metabolise food and fat, or to provide vital energy for living!
A classic sign of toxicity in women – and one of their most common complaints about their figures – is their potbelly. This condition may be very simple to correct by adopting an improved health regime. A distended abdomen may indicate a more serious problem in the form of a fecal ball in the colon, which gathers more and more coatings the longer it remains.
For many people, the signs of a colon dysfunction are so much a part of their everyday living experience that they don’t even suspect their health is being threatened!
Do you experience any of these health problems?
Constipation, diarrhea, frequent severe headaches, backaches, fatigue, bad breath, foul body odour, irritability, frequent mental confusion, chronic skin problems, abdominal gas and bloating, lower back pain, sciatic pain, low resistance to colds and infections, low energy and vitality… These are all indicators that you may need to cleanse your body’s elimination system.
Colonic Irrigation is an excellent way to accomplish this objective!
Benefits accomplished by Colon Irrigation…
Cleansing:
Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Fecal debris built up over a long period is gently removed over a series of irrigations. Once this impacted material is removed, your colon can begin its normal elimination function. A colonic irrigation session may be considered a rejuvenation treatment for your body.
Exercises:
The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its function. Gentle filling and emptying of the colon can improve peristaltic (natural muscular contraction) activity, which aids efficient removal of waste material.
Reshapes:
Over time, the natural shape of a problematic colon will become distorted… causing even more problems. The gentle water action and massage techniques of the therapist will help eliminate protruding pockets of waste and narrow, spastic constrictions. After a series of colonic irrigations, the colon gradually begins to resume its natural shape.
Stimulation of Reflex Points:
Every system of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. A colonic irrigation session stimulates these reflex points, thereby affecting the corresponding body parts… in a beneficial way, similar to reflexology.
Colonic Irrigation sounds like it will help people with their health problems…But I eat a high fibre diet, drink lots of water, exercise, and eliminate regularly… It couldn’t help me could it?
Yes, it can… Waste deposits may remain trapped in your colon for weeks, months or even years, despite following a strict health regime!
Consider this reported case… During a Colonic Irrigation session, a 54 year-old woman in Atlanta, Georgia discovered that her body had released a residue of barium. But, she was only given barium once, when she was just 7 years old… 47 years earlier!
It had remained trapped in her colon for years until the colonic irrigation session released it…
A build-up of old, putrefied fecal waste can block proper digestion, nutrient absorption, waste elimination and provides an excellent breeding ground for germs and parasites…
Worldwide, it is estimated that 200 million people are infested by intestinal parasites. Parasites are man’s deadliest enemy… they kill more people annually than do cancers! Symptoms associated with parasites can include restless sleeping, fatigue, poor assimilation and absorption of nutrients, food cravings (especially for sugars and breads), as well as an inability to feel satisfied after a large meal.
The best way to maintain a healthy colon and good digestion is to:
• Eat a natural wholesome, high-fibre, low refined fat diet
• Drink plenty of pure water daily
• Exercise on a regular basis and try to minimize stress
But this may not be enough… Consider the benefits of Colonic Irrigation!
Colon hydrotherapy has helped many people overcome difficult health problems and is helping many more to maintain good health into the future. For these people… Colonic Irrigation has proven to be…
The key to living a healthier, more vibrant life!
A clean, strong and well functioning colon is essential to maintaining optimal health…while an unclean, weak and poorly functioning colon is a breeding ground for disease, sickness and death.
Serious health problems can arise if the colon is not properly cared for, and based on statistics, colon health care in Australia has been woefully neglected.
Colon toxicity can be the underlying cause of many of these commonly reported health problems and may indicate the need for colonic irrigation…
| Constipation | Headaches | Hemorrhoids |
| Backaches | Arthritis | Allergies |
| Diarrhea | Distended Abdomen | Bad Breath/Halitosis |
| Skin Problems | Chronic Fatigue | Asthma |
| Irritability | Depression | Prostate Trouble |
| Difficult Weight Loss | Frequent Colds | Hypoglycemia |
| Insomnia | Food Cravings | Abdominal Gas |
| Hypertension | Foul Body Odour | Menstrual Problems |
If you have any of the above health problems, you may benefit from a series of colonic irrigation sessions. An unhealthy colon can adversely affect your total health, including all your body systems, and lead into a state of disease.
Colonic irrigation can be most beneficial in helping to restore good health by:
• Clearing the colon of old, hardened waste material and harmful toxins
• Restoring proper pH balance to the body
• Allowing freer passage of nutrients to the blood
• Increasing prevention of toxic absorption via healthy mucosa
• Providing a favourable environment for bacteria and microflora for digestion
• Strengthening peristaltic (natural muscular contraction) activity in the colon
• Promoting a return of normal, regular bowel movements
Millions of people – who suffer all manner of health problems – may never even consider that the source of their problems is a toxic, sluggish colon. This is not surprising. The traditional treatment of health disorders, disease symptoms and disease management – using pharmaceuticals and surgery – may completely obscure the root cause of recurring health problems.
Bowel dysfunction may be the root cause of a multitude of chronic health problems, sickness and disease!
Constipation is a state of the bowel in which evacuations are infrequent and difficult, or where the large intestine becomes lined with impacted, hardened feces… Undigested food and waste may remain trapped in the large intestine for days, weeks or even months to putrefy and generate toxic substances harmful to your health.
Colonic irrigation is a method for cleansing your body of these potentially harmful substances, which the colon has not been able to discharge by natural peristalsis.
While not a cure for any disease or ailment, it may be considered an important adjunctive therapy to help you rejuvenate and maintain your overall health.
Certainly, constipation is not a natural or healthy condition for the human body. If you think your current health status could be improved by cleansing your colon… then colonic irrigation is a proven alternative therapy to assist you in accomplishing this goal.
A healthy colon is vital to living a life free of degenerative disease!
If optimal health is your goal… Colonic Irrigation
could be most beneficial to you…
