It is estimated that 200 million people are infected by these intestinal parasites.


These worms range in size from microscopic single celled animals to twenty-foot long tapeworms! These parasites kill more people annually than does cancer. One in four people in the world today is infected by roundworms. The United States is not immune to these parasites, as the number of cases has increased in the past few years.

Also known as "Colonic Irrigation", colon hydro-therapy is a safe and effective method of gently cleansing the colon of waste material by the repeated gentle flushing of water.

Questions and Answers:

What is the colon? The colon, or the large intestine, is the end portion of the human digestive tract (food carrying passageway extending from the mouth to the anus). The colon is approximately 5 feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Its major functions are to absorb water, nutrients and to eliminate waste.

What will colonics do to the colon?

1) Cleanse the colon ~ Removal of toxic waste. Even debris build up over a long period is gently, but surely removed. Once impacted material is removed, healthy bacteria is encouraged to thrive in a healthy environment.

2) Exercises the colon muscles ~ The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon with water, improves peristaltic (muscular contraction) activity by which the colon naturally moves material.

3) Stimulates reflex points ~ Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. A colonic irrigation stimulates these points thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way- similar to reflexology.

Why not use Enemas? Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum ( the lowest 8 to 12 inches of the colon). Colonics remove far more toxic waste than an enema.

What is the procedure and how might one feel? During most of the colonic treatment, you are on your back with the knees slightly elevated. A special hygenic speculum is gently inserted into the rectum. A multi filtered and ultra violet light disinfection system enables pure water to flow into the colon via a small water tube. The fluids leave the colon through an evacuation tube as it carries out excess, impacted fecal matter, gas, mucus etc. As the water leaves the colon, the therapist gently massages the abdomen to help release its contents.

Different people experience different sensations. At times during a colonic, the colon muscles will contract suddenly, expelling considerable amounts of liquid and waste into the rectum. This may feel like cramping or gas and may create a feeling of urgency to empty the bowel. You may relax, as the tubing system will take care of all the wastes. Such episodes, if they occure, are brief and easily tolerated. A proffesional colon therapist shall be able to minimize any discomfort.

What should one expect after the colonic session? You will probably feel lighter and have a sense of well being. Most people are especially pleased with the sensation of feeling cleaned and clear afterward. A colon cleansing should not interfere with your scheduled day.

Will one colonic completely clean the colon? Almost never. Most people have a considerable amount of impacted material in their colon. As you become more aware of what is going on in your abdomen and as your bady learns to allow the cleansing experience, you are better able to enter into that process and therefore more material is released. One colonic will remove some of the stagnant waste in the colon. The second and subsequent colonics will remove more.

How many colonics are suggested? Often the waste is so hard and deeply lodged in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently soften and loosen it. The number of treatments varies with each individual and his/her condition. A personal assessment to suit your needs will be done on your first appointment. On average, 3 to 4 colonic irrigations are suggested, with approximately one week between sessions.

Won't colonics damage the normal intestinal flora? Accumulation of encrusted feces in the colon makes it impossible for the glands to produce the necessary intestinal flora, resulting in increased constipation. Cleansing the colon helps bring the acid-alkaline ration back into balance, allowing friendly bacteria to thrive, while inhibiting disease-causing organisms. You can assist the body in this process by orally taking a proper probiotics formula to reintroduce friendly bacteria into the colon.

Are colonics habit forming? No. The purpose of cleansing the colon is to allow it to relax, rejuvenate and promote better peristalsis. The colon can not heal when it is constantly working to get rid of accumulated wastes, gases and poisons.

What about getting a colonic as part of a fasting program? Is it better to get it at the beginning or end of the fast? Whenever you do anything that increases the rate at which toxins are released into the bloodstream, it is essential that you eliminate whatever you can through the colon. If you don't, you may unnecessarily experience increased discomforts of toxemia (poisonous toxins in the bloodstream). Instead of being expelled from your body, toxins may merely recirculate and settle elsewhere in organs, muscles and tissues. A knowledgable colon therapist can be of great assistance during any cleansing program. You may find it beneficial to schedule a colonic at the beginning of your fast and ask the therapist to comment upon your plan.
