So how often should Hydrotherapy be given?

Whenever there is sluggishness, the feeling of heaviness, oversleepiness, the tendency for any achy draggy feelin; then have the treatments.

Just because you may have a bowel movement everyday does not mean there is not the need for cleansing.

We live in a toxic environment; from pesticides and strange ingredients in our food, to polluted air, harsh chemicals in our cleaning and beauty products, prescription drugs and excessive stress. 90% of these toxins enter your bloodstream through the intestinal tract! These toxins suppress the natural, self healing mechanisms in our body. Our poor liver gets overloaded, trying to do it’s main job of keeping the body clean and functional. If it can’t quite keep up, many of the body’s systems begin to malfunction.

Colon hydrotherapy is a preventative against disease, as well as helpful in alleviating symptoms.

The cleansing of the system eliminates poisons, congestion, and conditions that could become acute throughout the body.

“The colon is a sewage system, but by neglect and abuse it becomes a cesspool.  When it is clean and normal we are well and happy.  Let it stagnate and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation, and putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the brain and nervous system so that we become mentally depressed and irritable; it will poison the heart so that we are weak and listless; poison the lungs so that the breath is foul; poison the digestive organs so we are distressed and bloated; and poison the blood so the skin is sallow and unhealthy.  In short every organ of the body is poisoned, and we age prematurely; look and feel old; the joints are stiff and painful; neuritis, dull eyes, and a sluggish brain overtake us; and the pleasure of living is gone ~ Jensen 1974

Autointoxication is when the body is overloaded with toxins to the point that the Liver cannot process them and eliminate them effectively.  Instead they are passed back through the colon wall to the blood stream where they can cause all manner of symptoms and may be deposited in various parts of the body.

If you dont feel well your body is toxic, and is trying to get well.  Listen to it!  Let your body perform its own healing miracles.  It’s trying to cleanse itself.  Get out of your own way.  Colds and flu are the body’s way of removing toxins. Through their symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, fevers, running noses, your body is trying to tell you something.

Hopefully the light goes on before you have life-threatening challenges that forces you to make changes.

If you think you are above getting a colonic treatment, or giving yourself an enema, or whatever it takes to get well, get over yourself! It’s all part of helping your body to heal itself.

Our motto at ‘The Cleansing Center’ is  ‘Clean on the Inside, Beautiful on the Outside’ When you take care of the internal cleanliness, the outside is taken care of.

So how often should Hydrotherapy be given?

Whenever there is sluggishness, the feeling of heaviness, oversleepiness, the tendency for any achy draggy feeling, then have the treatments.

Just because you may have a bowel movement everyday does not mean there is not the need for cleansing here.  It will pick the body up, when it has become drugged because of the absorption of poisons through the alimentary canal  or colon leading also to sluggishness of liver or kidneys. Colon hydrotherapy is a preventative against disease as well as helpful in alleviating symptoms.

The cleansing of the system eliminates poisons, congestion, and conditions that would become acute throughout the body.

Water is essential for life. While we could survive for a month without food, we would last but a few days without water.  Yet water does not receive its fair share of the marketing and advertising that”s directed toward the American public, and far too many people don’t drink the amount of water that their body requires.  On average, the requirement is about nine 8-ounce glasses a day.

Remember that your body’s requirements are just that…  essential non-negotiable requirements! This is something your body truly needs to function properly.  To allow this idea to register, consider an analogy.  Imagine you received a bill for $100, but you decided you only wanted to pay $75. Your creditor would call and ask why you only sent tree-fourths of the bill.  If you responded, “Well, it’s close,” that would not satisfy your creditor.  In a similar way, if you do not take in the full amount of water that your body needs on a daily basis, you will build up a deficit and become dehydrated.

Chronic dehydration can lead to a variety of physical problems.  Conversely, consistent water intake is health promoting.

Looking at water’s many functions in the body brings home its significance.

Water’s duties include:

• Transporting nutrients, hormones, and chemical messengers to appropriate sites within your system.
• Diluting toxins and waste products and escorting them out of the body.
• Acting as a solvent, ridding the bloodstream of excess fat .
• Protecting the internal surfaces of your digestive tract and other systems.
• Maintaining the body’s operating temperature.
• Keeping your joints “oiled” with water-based solutions.
• Surrounding the brain and spinal cord with fluid to shield them from impact.

It’s been discovered that our thirst mechanism begins to malfunction when we do not consume enough water.  So we can easily be unaware of the need for more water.

Fortunately this function kicks back in when adequate water drinking resumes.

If Your Food is Depleted in Enzymes it Will Cause All Kinds of Digestive Disorders and Lead to Many Distressing Symptoms.

Toxins in Your Body: If the digestive system is not working well, there results an imbalance in the digestion system, which in turn results in the formation of internal toxins which have uncomfortable and dangerous effects.

Lack of enzymes in food (cooked, processed etc) contribute to poor digestion, resulting in toxicity. One way to promote good digestion, and therefore avert the formation of these internal toxins, is to supplement your diet with digestive enzymes and eat foods that contain them in rich supply.   (Raw, Fresh, Organic Fruits and Vegetables, Nuts and Seeds)

What is an enzyme, and why are they so important in preventing autointoxication and helping detoxification?

Enzymes are the catalyst to every chemical reaction in the body, and are extremely important in the digestive process.  They facilitate optimal nutrient delivery of every cell as well as the efficient excretion of each cells waste.

“No mineral, vitamin, or hormone can do any work without enzymes.   Our bodies, all of our organs, tissues, and cells are run by metobolic enzymes.  They are the manual workers that build our body from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, just as construction workers build our home.  You may have all the raw materials with which to build, but without the workers (enzymes) you cannot even begin”. ~Edward Howell, M.D., a physician who researched enzymes for over fifty years.

When enzymes are in ample supply, their work keeps your body running at an optimal level.  In this high state, more effective detoxification can take place.  Because enzymes can play such a crucial role in keeping you in an excellent state of health, there has been much success in the treatment of numerous chronic health conditions using enzymes.

‘Will the food you choose to eat turn into nutrients or poisons?                           When you eat foods that are depleted of enzymes, vitamins and minerals you set the stage for noxious toxins to be created inside your body’

‘When you were a kid you could eat almost anything, that’s because your enzyme supply was at an all-time high.  As many of us were raised on refined, enzyme-depleted foods (white bread, table sugar, pasteurized dairy, etc), many of us have exhausted our precious supply of enzymes. When the body ingests foods that are lacking enzymes, it is stressful to our whole system.’

Results of Enzyme Depletion:

1. Leukocytosis (White Blood Cells Responding to Trauma-Like Condition of Enzyme-Depleted Food)   Research by Paul Kouchakoff, M.D., shows that whenever cooked, enzyme-depleted food is eaten, the white blood cells increase as part of an immune activation, as if you were sick with a viral or bacterial infection.  Instead the body is reacting to the burdensome digestive nees of the enzyme-depleted food.  This reaction, which occurs within 30 minutes of eating cooked food, does not occur when raw foods are consumed.  Leukocytosis (this white blood cell increase) is very stressful to the immune system.
2. Pancreatic Hypertrophy (Swelling of the Pancreas) The enlargement of the pancreas is a result of the continual burden on the gland to supply enzymes for digestion that should have been in the food in the first place.  When the pancreases of laboratory rats (fed on cooked food) were compared to those of wild rodents (living on raw food), the pancreases of the lab rats were found to be 2 1/2 times larger, an observation clearly indicative of digestive stress.
3. Dysbiosis (Lack of Beneficial Bacteria)  Dysbiosis refers to a condition in which the bacteria in the intestines are out of balance, resulting in a vulnerability to the overgrowth of yeast, fungi, parasites, and harmful strains of bacteria.  Poorly digested food alters the pH in the intestines, creating a perfect environment for dysbiosis.
4. Autoimmune Response/Leaky Gut Syndrome When digestion is compromised due to an  enzyme deficiency, undigested food particles seep into the blood stream and can become circulating immune complexes (CICs), which can create an autoimmune response.  Inflammation, allergies, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and asthma are some of the conditions that result from this situation.
5. Autointoxication/Intestinal Toxemia When foods aren’t completely digested, they often turn into toxic by-products and enter the bloodstream, another burden on the health of the body.
6. Sugar Cravings Undigested Proteins contribute to sugar cravings.  When protein isn’t completely digested, blood sugar levels can tend to be unstable resulting in an overwhelming desire for sugar.
7. Insufficient Nutrient Delivery Without adequate digestive enzymes, nutrients from the food cannot be completely released into the system.  Enzymes are a crucial part of nutrient absorption.  Research shows that vitamins and minerals are absorbed better when digestive enzymes are plentiful.

All these conditions come with an array of symptoms that many experience daily, though they may not be aware that anything in particular is wrong, just that they do not feel quite as they used to.

It helps so much when you begin to understand what exactly your bodies needs are in order to function optimally, and in many cases what it needs to be given in order to be able to restore proper functionality.  What we put into our bodies becomes the fuel to enable the healing to take place.  On the flip side if we remain complacent and fail to listen to the warnings, we suffer the consequences and later may find ourselves with full blown disease.

Remember, You can proceed at a comfortable pace and don’t have to be hard on yourself for not being able to make the changes overnight.  Even small changes make the world of difference!  If you just switched to pure water and one helping of raw food per day, this continued habit would have a significantly positive effect.  And as you progress further, you will see even greater results as the drain on your body’s resources is reduced.  You’ll be rewarded with greater energy, a brighter outlook, improved health, and a higher quality of living!

A colonic is critically important during a cleansing and detoxification program as it flushes  the excess toxins out of the body thus preventing  the re-absorption of toxins back into the body.  Let me explain:

If you are fasting, juicing or taking herbs and supplements to detoxify your body there will be an increase in the amount of toxins being released from the tissues.  If these toxins are not effectively removed from the body quickly, via the bowel, they will be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and carried throughout the whole body.

A sudden overload of toxins released, gives rise to the general feelings of sickness, and may include nausea, headaches, joint and muscle aches, and foul smelling breath.  Detoxification and cleansing can cause some healing discomforts.  Having Colon Hydrotherapy at this time will keep them to a minimum.

Poor Intestinal Health is connected to a seemingly endless list of health complaints so it’s important to first understand how the intestines operate.

When the functioning of your intestines goes out of whack, you can feel lousy-both physically and emotionally.  So don’t take the health of your intestines for granted!  Your diet and routine can make a huge impact – either negative or positive.

The intestines are viewed by many people as just organs of elimination-the last stop before a bowel movement.  However they are so much more than that!  They are also essential organs of digestion.  The final stages of digestion take place there.  Combined, the small and large intestine measure 26 feet and cover the surface of a tennis court!

When the functioning of your intestines goes out of whack, you can feel lousy-both physically and emotionally.  So don’t take the health of your intestines for granted!  Your diet and routine can make a huge impact – either negative or positive.

Duties of the Intestines

• Absorption of water, minerals, and other nutrients
• Manufacturing of vitamins such as B1, B2, B12, and K
• Breakdown of food residues via beneficial bacteria

• Formation and excretion of feces
• Elimination of poisons, toxins, and waste products
• Keeping disease-causing organisms in check with friendly bacteria

Within the intestinal lining is the gut lymphoid tissue, which is considered the largest immune organ in the body, participating in at least 60% of immune functions.  It is constantly active as it is always on guard, preventing invasion of unwanted microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, parasites, fungus) and other toxins.  There is also a substance called Secretory Immunoglobulin A, which is secreted into the mucus layer in the intestine to prevent bad bacteria from invading.

As you can see, the intestines are more than just a hollow tube through which waste passes.

The health of the entire body depend on how efficient the intestinal tract is at absorbing nutrients and eliminating waste.

It is important to know how to support the proper functioning of the intestinal tract, not only for disease prevention, but to increase your energy, vitality, and positive emotional outlook.

Causes of Poor Intestinal Health

While well-functioning intestines work in these various ways to keep you in good health, there are many habits and actions that cause these organs to break down:

• Diet plays a major part in the frequent occurrence of distress.

• Emotional upset and tension,

• Poor Bowel Habits…( To correct; Sit with feet up on a stool for correct alignment of bowel when eliminating and answer nature’s call, do not suppress the urge! )

• Travel

Unfortunately, Americans in general are not very well versed in the behaviors that support intestinal health.  Thus intestinal abuse is among the factors, making cancer of the colon this country’s second deadliest cancer (about 48,000 people die of this each year).  Constipation alone is currently generating $825 million in laxative sales annually in the U.S., driving 40 million Americans to the stores to purchase product each year.

Main Causes of Intestinal Health Problems:

• Eating too much, forcing meals when emotionally upset, consuming food in a rush, and snacking late at night are habits that are stressful to the whole digestive system.  These detrimental habits contribute to incomplete digestion and intestinal toxicity.

• Not including enough enzyme-rich foods in your diet also leads incomplete digestion and intestinal imbalances.

• A Diet that lacks Fiber..foods that are adequate in fiber and water (Fresh and Raw)  create bulkier stools, which can travel faster through the intestines.  Speedier bowel transit time reduces your exposure to toxins.

• Not drinking enough water or eating enough high water content foods, dehydrates the intestines.  Moist fiber-filled waste moves much easier through your system than dry hard material.  Also, among the important functions of the intestines is the absorption of water.  Remember, it’s important to drink at least six to eight glasses of water a day.

• Having refined and processed foods in the diet leads to constipation.  These include fried foods; candies, desserts, baked goods, and sugar products; white flour; table salt; salted snack foods, peanut butter; processed meat products, pasteurized milk and cheese; artificially carbonated drinks; and coffee.

Other Factors in Intestinal Distress

Antibiotics and some drugs adversely affect the intestines.  When harmful bacteria are killed off by antibiotics, the beneficial ones are put out of business as well.  This sets the stage for the overgrowth of pathogenic microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, etc.) in the intestines.  Repeated courses of antibiotics actually create antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  Also, research has shown that amalgam dental fillings can leach mercury into your system that may alter the balance of the intestinal flora.  Birth control pills, steroids, and hard “recreational” drugs can upset the delicate flora balance too.

Emotions-both disturbing and uplifting-greatly impact the intestines.  The large intestine has been referred to as “the seat of the emotions.” We have learned that the brain sends messages to the bowel via the nerves in times of anxiety or excitement that can interfere with peristalsis .  Also blood supply and muscle tension in the region can be affected by emotional upset.  Emotional distress can contribute to diarrhea, constipation and loss of bowel control. Chronic conditions that might emerge include colitis and irritable bowel disease.  In the groundbreaking book, “The Second Brain,” Michael Gershon, M.D., exposes this incredible gut-brain connection, demonstrating how every type of neurotransmitter found in the brain is also found in the gut.

Lack of Exercise contributes to poor intestinal health in various ways.  Blood circulation to the region suffers.  Muscle tone can weaken, making elimination more difficult.  Lastly, less lymph is pumped through your system, so a diminished cleanup of toxicity can result.

An increase in travel can place you at risk, as you will be exposed to different strains of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.  Residents at travel destinations will have developed a resistance in their internal flora, to these microorganisms.  Your system, however, will have a different environment., one not used to fighting off the same tiny pests.

When the functioning of your intestines goes out of whack, you can feel lousy-both physically and emotionally.  So don’t take the health of your intestines for granted!  Your diet and routine can make a huge impact – either negative or positive.

Cleansing the Large Intestine as an initial treatment, is a wonderful way to begin a body detoxification program.  Internal cleansing is key in assisting the body to naturally heal from a multitude of health complaints.

Women who have 2 or few bowel movements per week have 4 times the risk of breast disease as women who have 1 or more bowel movements per day.

What does cancer have to do with autointoxication? In my opinion, everything.  Statistics show that cancer (excluding about 5% from genetic factors) can be a direct result of the level of toxicity in a persons body.  The bowel history and dietary factors are of primary importance in determining cancer risk factors.  One of the greatest risks a human being can take is to allow fecal end products to remain in contact with the lining of the colon for 3 or 4 days at a time.  To quote J.J. Tilden, MD, in Toxemia Explained “Without toxemia there can be no disease.”

It would be ignorant and irreverent to claim that colonic cleansing alone could cure cancer.  But consider the regimes employed in most of the alternative cancer therapy clinics, and notice that practically all emphasize the role of a toxic colon in the genesis of cancer.  Some employ colon cleansing methods many times a day, with the addition of rectal implants.

Cancer Patients Improve from receiving Colon Treatment

“Over the years it has been found that cancer patients who are not doing well usually are toxic and not being cleansed.  They certainly are in need of Colon Hydrotherapy,” advises oncologist and Homoepath Douglas Brodie, MD, of Reno, Nevada.  Dr. Brodie has developed CAM (complimentary alternative modalities) methods of treating cancer and other degenerative diseases aimed at strengthening the immune system.  He emphasizes natural and humane approaches to these conditions with colon hydrotherapy being among them.

If a patient dies of cancer without being informed that there were alternative treatment available, I believe it would be appropriate for his survivors to sue the doctors who failed to inform him.   Robert C Atkins, Md (Nutrition Breakthrough)

Read everything you can about your alternatives and choices.  Cancer statistics being what they are (1 out of 3 people will get cancer), someone you know intimately in your lifetime will most likely be dealing with this life-challenging issue.  If you have armed yourself with knowledge you can make a decision from a position of power and not from fear and panic.

Colon therapy is an ancient method of treatment and form of detoxification.  It never would have survived through the scientific era unless it had unquestionable value to its recipients.

Detoxification is the removal of the toxins from the body.  You probably never considered the fact that your body, through improper diet, gets as dirty on the inside as it does on the outside!!

Detoxification requires a special process for cleansing, through specific foods,  juices, and other recommendations. Today’s modern diet has excess animal proteins, fats, sugars, sodas, caffeine, and alcohol, which inhibit the functions of cells and tissues.

The Gerson Therapy is a well respected treatment protocol.  Countless people have  overcome the overwhelming suffering of cancer.  Most come through to  find that their bodies are stronger and healthier than before, released also from the fear of recurrences as they continue to keep their bodies clean on the inside and live pro-active life-styles that support a strong immune system.  It is stressed that to detox the body with juices and raw foods etc when one is sick with cancer can be dangerous if you do not cleanse the colon at the same time. When the toxic cancer cells are broken down and released, to be eliminated from the body, they must be able to exit easily or they will be absorbed back into the blood stream, known as autointoxication.  The colon must be clear, thus flushing the colon often is appropriate at this time.

I urge you to look into the natural approach of healing and take responsibility for your own health.  You are the one that loves and cares the most, you value your life more than anyone, you can make the best decision when you are informed…  This is the age of information, it is available to all of us, not just to the few.   We cannot be closed minded if we truly desire to be whole, but rather open our minds to find truth which is very often walking closely with common sense.

“Colon Hydrotherapy eliminates from the bowel the repository of accumulated waste material which may disadvantageously get absorbed.  If this absorption takes place, it overwhelms the other purification organs such as the liver, the kidneys, the skin, and the lungs.  The toxin deposition which becomes lodged throughout the body’s tissues and cells becomes capable of triggering a variety of illnesses,” says rheumatologist Dr. Arthur E. Brawer.  “There’s lots of them.  Some disease indications for Colon Hydrotherapay responding well are:
