“Death begins in the colon.” --Elie Metchnikoff (Russian Nobel Prize Winning Biologist)
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, clean, odor-free method of removing large amounts of waste from the large intestine, without the use of drugs or chemicals. By introducing pure, filtered and temperature-regulated water into the colon, and gently massaging the abdomen, waste is loosened and broken down for easy evacuation. The process is then reversed, evacuating the water and waste and stimulating the body’s natural peristalsis. This process of introduction and evacuation is usually repeated several times during a therapeutic session.
Why Colon Hydrotherapy?
Imagine an un-emptied garbage can, and the “Why colon hydrotherapy?” question becomes amazingly simple to answer. You should be having 1-3 bowel movements a day. If you skip even one day of elimination, it is like missing trash day at your house 3 times! Many of my patients will tell me they are skipping 2-5 days without a BM! Think of that…missing 6-15 trash days at your home! Piled up garbage attracts vermin and rodents. That is EXACTLY what happens in your gut when you miss a trash day. You attract the “bad bacteria, yeast, viruses, etc.” that feed off of spoiled, rotten, moldy, smelly, noxious and poisonous old food. This is the picture that can be painted of a slow and constipated colon. Everything that goes into our mouths eventually touches and affects the stomach, small intestine and colon. When ingested substances are allowed to sit, decay, and become toxic, these toxins can damage the surrounding organs, nerves, glands, and tissues, and damage the intestinal wall. This creates a major decline of the absorption of nutrients, as the undigested food proteins re-enter and poison the blood stream, liver, tissues, and cells.
The Health Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy
The contamination and toxicity of the colon can have dramatic health effects, ranging from simple allergies to major medical problems, including cancer, altered immunity, and even mental health issues that range from brain fog to bipolar disorder. Research has shown that as many as 50% of Americans have fecaliths, small pockets of waste in the colon, many that have been there for years or even decades. The colon is meant to absorb fluids, extract the last nutrients out of food, and finally release the remaining toxins that are harmful--not store all these poisons for years inside of our bodies.
Many people believe that one good bowel movement a day is all that is needed and so there would be no need for colon hydrotherapy. Another long-held myth is that cramping, gas, and bloating are normal, everyone gets them. However, research tells us that the average American has anywhere from 10-30 pounds of un-eliminated feces sitting dormant in the colon at any given time. Just imagine thirty pounds of old decaying feces… a watermelon only weighs three pounds. The following is a list of health issues that commonly occur as a result of constipation or a slow colon transit time that can be reversed with colon hydrotherapy as part of the treatment plan:
• Allergies
• Arthritis
• Asthma
• Acne
• Attention deficit disorder
• Brain fog

It is said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Colon hydrotherapy is also very useful for:

Health Maintenance with Colon Hydrotherapy
For those who desire to keep their bodies in peak performance, or already have a healthy diet, there are several beneficial or preventative reasons to adopt colon hydrotherapy as part of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping and maintaining a strong, healthy colon is one of the basics of keeping the body at its peak performance capability. CHT (colon hydrotherapy) improves metabolic efficiency, is beneficial to a cleansing or detoxification program, raw food diet or fast, and improves the body’s ability to absorb vitamins, minerals, and liquids. New research encourages that a CHT treatment be done within 2 hours or at least 2 days of mercury amalgam dental removal.
Anyone with a family history of cancer, especially colon or intestinal cancers, should seriously consider making hydrotherapy a part of their health routine. There is mounting evidence that many major medical problems may benefit from colon hydrotherapy being part of the treatment for alleviating discomfort resorting from the illness. Here are a few:
• Depressed immune system
• Diverticulosis
• Colitis
• MS
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Arthritis
• Liver sluggishness or disease
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Prostate and other cancers
• Candida
• Crohn’s disease
• Constipation due to serious illness
• Hepatitis C
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia,
• Nocturia
• Prostatitis
• Fistulas
• Endometrial pain
• Detoxing of chemical substances related to alcohol and drug addictions
• Diabetes
• Obesity
There are three functional approaches to colon hydrotherapy:
1. A quick fix for an urgent problem (e.g., severe constipation or prep for surgery or a colonoscopy): 1-3 colonics over a 1-2 week period.
2. A long term tool for sustainable change: 8-14 colonics on average over a 2-6 month period.
3. Seasonal cleansing for preventative maintenance and enhancement: 1-3 colonics per season.
A colon hydrotherapy session cleanses the entire five feet of colon, unlike an enema that cleanses only the sigmoid colon, the lower 8-12 inches of the bowel. This helps to re-establish normal bowel movements by restoring muscle tone and normal peristalsis.
By cleaning the colon, the body is then able to better release toxins and more easily assimilates nutrients from foods.
