Colon hydortherapy

Recommendations for optimal intestinal health:o Avoid the use of broad spectrum antibiotics and NSAIDs as much as is possible.o Avoid overconsumption of alcohol, chlorinated water and consuming a refined, sugar-and fat-rich, fiber-poor diet.o Eat a diet rich in whole, unprocessed, nutritionally adequate foods and fiber. Also consider adding fiber-like fructooligosaccharides to your diet.o Supplement the diet with scientifically proven, high quality, healthful bacterial products such as bifidobacterial infantis and the NCFM strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus.o Finally, consume a diet rich in, and/or supplement the diet with, probiotic proteins such as lactoperoxidas, lactoferrin, and globulin proteins.Colon Hydrotherapy The colon is the last five feet of the large intestine. It is a hallow tubelike structure made up of muscles that move digested food and waste by peristaltic movements. Its primary function is to absorb water, electrolytes, some vitamins and storing of fecal material or waste prior to elimination. It is one of the major organs of elimination of waste. Good health is as much a function of elimination as the quality of food we eat. Stress, eating junk foods, over eating, wrong combination of foods, all have an effect on our colon. Millions of dollars worth of laxatives are being used every day and millions of people suffer from colitis, ileitis, diverticulitis, and many more digestive tract and colon disorders. Periodic cleaning of the colon could prevent stagnation and minimize exposure to potential cancer causing agents. Colon hydrotherapy is a gradual and gentle introduction of water into the colon via the rectum to induce peristalsis, gently massage the walls of the colon and clean the impacted area. Several gallons of water are used during the procedure. Clean water is introduced into the colon through the tube which is connected to the disposable speculum. Waste material is removed and carried off by the second tube. It allows the bowel to relax and rejuvenate. The whole procedure is painless and the patient is covered with a clean towel. Colon therapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure used to assist the body for a wide variety of different colon related conditions. It is best used in conjunction with a specific nutritional program, healthy eating habits and exercise. When the colon is clean we feel well, healthy and happy. When the colon is stagnant the entire body becomes sluggish and toxic. Signs of a toxic colon Coated tongue, fetid breath, shallow complexion, abnormal body odor, dark circles under the eyes, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), constipation, tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, chronic headaches, irritability, nervousness, nausea, depression, asthma, backaches and digestive disorders, inflexible hands and feet, and body aches and pains are some of the symptoms of toxic colon. When toxins cannot be eliminated through the colon, liver, kidneys, perspiration or lungs, they must be stored in the tissues of the body. Some favorite spots for storage are fat cells, joints, muscles, arteries, liver and other organs. Colon hydrotherapy works to soothe and tone the colon, helping it to eliminate more efficiently. It reduces the burden on other eliminating organs and the lymphatic system which is our main line of defense against harmful bacteria and other pathogens. The main benefit received is that we remove the number one source of disease in the body, have efficient elimination of waste and better absorption of nutrients. After colon therapy it is important to drink plenty of liquids, purified water, juices, and herb teas. Eat vegetable soup for twenty four hours after each session. Avoid eating raw vegetables for a couple of days. Steamed vegetables and raw fruits are sufficient. Reduce the consumption of red meat and heavy and hard to digest foods.How many treatments are needed? One session will empty part of the colon, I would recommend two sessions the first week, back to back, two sessions the second week and one session for the next few weeks depending upon the severity of the disorders and the biochemical individuality of the person. Most patients return every couple of months for maintenance purposes. To avoid risk of infection and other contamination, sterile equipment must be used. So disposable speculums are a must. A private room equipped with all the necessary amenities, is used for the colon hydrotherapy. Before starting the colon hydrotherapy, a consultation with the Naturopathic physician is required to ensure there are no contraindications, such as cancer or tumors in the colon, obstruction of the bowel, acute abdominal pain, recent history of bleeding in the GI tract, or recent heart attack etc. The best results are gained from a colonic irrigation when the person is following a healthy diet and exercise program. Improving your health is a slow natural process and one should be sure to have plenty of exercise and choose food wisely. Once the system is cleaned, the normal instincts of bodily functions, energy and desires return.
