Colon Hydrotherapy
"The forgotten key to health"

The colon is the last five feet of the digestive tract, or large intestine. It is a
hollow tube-like organ made up of muscle structure that moves digestive
food and waste along by a wave-like motion known as peristalsis.

The primary function of the colon is to absorb water, electrolytes and some
vitamins, as well as preparing and storing fecal waste prior to elimination.
The colon, along with the skin, kidneys and lungs, is a major organ of
elimination of toxins and waste. If bowel movements are not regular, the
waste products and toxins accumulate and can compromise our health.

Good health is as much a function of our elimination status as the quality of
the food we eat. Consider that over 400 million dollars are spent annually
on laxatives in the United States. Every year 140,000 Americans are diagnosed
as having colon-rectal cancer. Of this population, 44% will die as a result of the
disease. At least two million Americans suffer from colitis, ileitis, diverticulitis and
100,000 Americans have a colostomy each year. Periodic cleansing of the colon
could prevent stagnation and minimize the exposure to potential cancer-causing
agents to the colon wall.

This session is suitable for colon cleanse, relief of constipation, and as a
preparation before colonoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy.

There are contraindications for colon hydrotherapy such as congestive heart
failure, uncontrolled hypertension, aneurism, severe anemia, GI hemorrhage/
perforation, severe hemorrhoids, carcenoma of the colon, fissures/fistulas,
abdominal hernia, recent colon or abdominal surgery, and pregnancy.
