1. “How do I know Colon Hydrotherapy will be useful to me?” It is our belief that everyone can benefit from a gentle colon cleansing. Today’s diets consist of refined, processed foods, high in saturated fats and low in fiber. We believe eating these foods, overeating, ignoring the call to eliminate, stress, allergies and medications can contribute to poor colon health.
Symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, or gastrointestinal pain may alert someone to colon distress. From our perspective, we believe that cleansing the colon may be valuable in minimizing the effects of dietary and environmental stresses, as well as the impact on the immune system of toxins regularly bombarding us.
2. “Will my electrolyte or healthy bacteria balances be thrown off by Colon Hydrotherapy?” The study, “Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on Serum Electrolytes,” establishes that electrolytes are not depleted in people free of serious pathologies. As far as healthy bacteria go, most of us on a typical American diet don’t have many to begin with anyway. Colonics may wash out some bacteria, unhealthy and healthy, however, we believe the good/friendly bacteria have a better chance to proliferate in the cleaner environment established after the colonic session.
3. “Is Colon Hydrotherapy safe?” Yes. Colonics are much safer than enemas. In over 15 years, we have never had an emergency or problem.
4. “Is there any odor?” No.
5. “How big is the tube?” The tube is about the diameter of a pencil and you insert the sterile tube 1-1/2 to 2-inches into the rectum.
6. “Does it hurt?” No.
7. “Where does the fecal matter go?” It passes through a “View Tube” then into the sewer system.
8. “Who makes appointments for Colon Hydrotherapy sessions?” A variety of people – anyone from professional athletes to clients who are very ill make appointments. Our oldest client is 98 years “young” and the youngest is an adolescent. And you can benefit too.
