Colon Hydrotherapy Facts

Colonics have changed my life in so many ways. I used to suffer from lethargy, bloating, constipation and many more issues. Not only did it help me physically, it has helped me mentally and emotionally. I absolutely love Colon Hydro Care and would recommend them to everyone.
Peak health, fitness and well being demand more than good nutrition and an active lifestyle. As Canadians we need to be proactive and diligent with regular internal cleansing of the colon as a result of our food processing and dietary practices.
Colorectal cancer is an issue that left un-checked will potentially touch each of our lives through family members contracting this deadly but preventable cancer.
As lung cancer is the leading case of cancer deaths in Canada and North America, we acknowledge that first and second hand smoke are the primary contributors factors causing this disease.
There is also a primary contributing cause of colon cancer as we will discuss in a moment. But first, what is colon cancer?
Colon cancer, often called colorectal cancer, develops in the large intestines (your colon and rectum). It generally develops from tiny growths inside the colon or rectum called polyps. There are no early warning symptoms of the disease. When detected early, there is a 90% chance of curing colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is a very slow growing cancer and can take up to 10 years or more to develop to an advanced stage.
How serious is Colorectal cancer?
It's the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Ontario.
7,800 Ontarians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year.
3,250 people will die from it!
We must ask ourselves what contributing factors are responsible for causing colorectal cancer.
The answer lies in the processing practices we incorporate in North America and Canada to farm and harvest, package and produce the foods we consume.
Pesticides, preservatives, antibiotics, growth hormones, excessive dietary habits and the over-consumption of fast foods, cause a slowing down of the elimination process through the colon.
Processed, devitalized foods are notoriously lacking in fiber and bulk. They tend to be dry, goopy, sticky and pasty. They do not do well in making the transit in the bowel or colon. They have a tendency to stick to the colon like glue and are difficult to move out and eliminate.
When the bowel becomes encrusted with unexpelled fecal material due to poor dietary habits, the absorption of vital nutrients slows down to the degree of encrustation. The accumulations on the bowel wall become a breeding ground for unhealthy bacterial life forms (parasites).
The heavy mucosa coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The capillaries in the colon begin to pick up these toxins and poisons as it seeps through the wall of the colon. This begins autointoxication on a physiological level as all tissues and organs are now absorbing toxic substances.
You may begin to experience the following conditions; digestive disorders, bloating and gas, constipation, irritable bowel, candida overgrowth, laxative abuse, allergies, headaches and migraines, eczema, psoriasis, parasite infestation, acne, low sexual lilido and more.
Not only illness and old age, but even death is due to the accumulation of waste products of body chemistry and to the inability of the body to replenish its cellular structures and organs with fresh vital nutrients.
Douglas Brodie, MD.
Oncologist and homeopath.
I have found over the years that cancer patients who are not doing well usually are toxic and are not cleansed. I do recommend that most of my cancer patients take colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigations because they often improve by having such treatment. Liver cancer in particular shows benefit from colon hydrotherapy, but any internal tumors show effectual change too. It is the best cleaning and detoxifier for the gastrointestinal tract that anybody would want. I do promote its use.
At our clinic, we use The Angel of Water colon hydrotherapy equipment to irrigate your colon. It is the most advanced in the world and allows you to release five times (5x) more matter from a single session than other hydrotherapy methods.
The Angel of Water® CM-1 colon hydrotherapy equipment leads the way in Health Canada registered Class II devices for colon cleansing in an integrated clinical spa setting by affording the client both privacy and dignity.
The CM-1 is an ergonomic, open lounge system that allows for the client to recline in comfort and to release the contents of the colon and bladder at will. Tempered water is treated with both ultraviolet and carbon filtration.
The three points of colon hydrotherapy are hydration, peristalsis and sanitation.
The gentle wavelike hydraulic action of water enters via a pencil-sized nozzle inserted one inch in the anus, by the client in private.
There are no invasive proctoscopes involved.
The purified water enters the client without pressure or discomfort and begins to hydrate the client's colon and re-nourishes the impacted, dehydrated or static bowel to be evacuated through peristalsis.
Peristalsis is the colon's natural muscular contraction that causes the client to push or release the matter out the anus and around the small nozzle, painlessly.
The filling and evacuation process is repeated approximately 40 to 50 times during the 45 minute session at which time the client has irrigated and absorbed approx 8 to 16 gallons of water.
The client also releases toxins via the lymphatic system and increases blood flow to the tissues (super-hydration) for a revitalized state of being.

Colon hydrotherapy is the perfect specific procedure to eliminate constipation and restore normal bowel function. My approach to medical practice is to balance the GI track using stool testing. I find various pathologies relating to bacteria, yeast, parasites and other organisms of this nature. A lot of disease comes from imbalances in the colon, as manifested by inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, autoimmune diseases, allergies, multiple sclerosis, and certainly constipation. Such imbalances can be corrected by means of colon hydrotherapy, herbal supplements and diet. There is no question about the huge difference a health professional can bring to the patient by utilizing colon hydrotherapy plus other associated complimentary and alternative methods of healing.
After the session, the client is given a probiotic supplement, specially coated to bypass the acids in the stomach for absorption in the colon to re-establish the friendly flora.
When a hygienic and sanitary condition is established in the colon the terrain is set for the body's innate intelligence to regenerate and heal itself naturally of sickness, disease and injury.
Colon hydrotherapy is also a highly recommended prep procedure to colonoscopy examination. It provides individuals with another option other than consuming the highly distasteful laxatives that requires a patient to spend much of a day near a washroom.
Leonard Smith, MD.
Dr.Smith has practiced for over 25 years as a specialist in gastrointestinal surgery.
I am very well acquainted with the colon's functions, and my true belief is that colon hydrotherapy is the perfect cleansing medium for preparing the patient for colonoscopy. It's a much better way of getting the colon ready for an operation than having the patient swallow a gallon of the usual pre surgery solution known as Colon-Go-Lytely. Instead, colon hydrotherapy has the patient avoid the noxious side effects of vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and other troubles. I also believe that normal healthy people will find it valuable to take colon hydrotherapy every couple of months in order to experience how well one feels when the colon is truly empty. People undergoing this on a prevention basis, become quite surprised at how much waste is removed by the procedure.
Most individuals can benefit from colon hydrotherapy and it is an inexpensive procedure. There are discount rate packages available for a peak and happy lifestyle.
If an individual has extended health insurance coverage, the procedure may be covered with a prescription from an medical or naturopathic doctor.
We have a naturopathic doctor to provide this service.

Colonics have been more beneficial in resolving my issues around fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, blemishes and general unwellness which traditional methods have failed to do. Colonics should be part of a regular health routine. Since doing colonics, I have not experienced a cold or flu symptom to date.

My wife and I really felt relaxed during the colonic and the privacy during this new experience and seeing what was coming out of me, made me a believer! I used to work out everyday but always felt sore and lacked energy afterwards. Ever since having colonics, I have been full of energy and have a greater enthusiasm towards going to the gym. I am also not sore all the time like I was in the past and Cindy says her headaches are gone too. Colonics will always be a part of our life. Detoxing, keeping clean inside and building muscle has never been easier. See you and thanks for squeezing me in on short notice
