THE IMPORTANCE OF COLON HYDROTHERAPY

Colon hydrotherapy (or a colonic, as it is usually called) is a professional health service that can be extremely helpful to prevent disease, to prepare for a colonoscopy, to help with constipation, or for anyone with digestive issues.

Purified water is slowly and gently introduced into the colon, also known as the large intestine. Over the course of about 45 minutes, a lot of old fecal material, gas, and mucus are dissolved, broken up, and expelled from the body. Colon hydrotherapy is most effective done in a series (at least 3, up to 12 or more), because each colonic is literally "peeling away" another layer of old waste, kind of like the layers of an onion. The previous colonic is a sort of "pre-soak" for the next colonic session.

There are four major ways colon hydrotherapy can be extremely effective for health:

1) When the old waste is eliminated, you are no longer living with a "backed-up" sewage system that is literally leaking toxins into the bloodstream, polluting it. Transit time, which is the length of time between when we eat something, and when we eliminate it, should be between 12 - 18 hours. Ideally, we should be eliminating 2 - 3 times a day.

2) When old waste is hardened on the walls of the colon, it is like having an old pipe whose inner diameter is getting narrower and narrower because of old accumulations adhering to it's inner surfaces. That is why sometimes the size of the stool being eliminated is pencil-thin.

3) When the lining of the colon has hardened waste adhering to the walls, it interferes with the colon's "peristaltic action". The whole G.I. tract contracts and expands, in a motion known as "peristalsis", to move the food along in the digestive process, and then to expel it from the body in the form of a stool to be eliminated. Hardened feces on the walls prevents efficient peristalsis.

4) When there is a layer of waste on the walls of the colon, it interferes with the efficient absorption of nutrients into the cells and bloodstream. Removing that through colon hydrotherapy helps to restore and improve absorptive ability.

Combining colon hydrotherapy  with the use of superfoods, which are nutrient dense foods in the form of powders and liquids, greatly enhances the results. This is because digestion requires more energy than any other body function, so if energy is not being used for digestion, the body uses it to expel toxins, and to heal, re-balance, and repair itself..

We have a blueprint for perfect health inside of us. Using the powerful tools of detoxification, nutritional replenishment, and colon hydrotherapy, we can reclaim that birthright!

LAYING THE FOUNDATION: THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR BIOLOGICAL TERRAIN

If you are waging war against disease, you are fighting a losing battle! Why? Because, as Florence Nightingale said,

"There are no specific diseases; only specific disease conditions".

Health is an inside job, because whether we succumb to disease or maintain health, it is due to the internal environment in our bodies. It is predicated upon whether we have accumulated toxins in our cells and organs, congesting them, causing inflammation, and impeding their function. Our health is determined by the chemistry of the blood, and whether we are veering away from the alkalinity that our blood needs to maintain. It is influenced by our supply of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, essential oils and fatty acids, phytonutrients, and beneficial microflora in our digestive tract. The quality and types of proteins and carbohydrates that we ingest are crucial to our health. Our level of oxygen, or lack, thereof, can inhibit, or grow, cancer cells.

All of these factors comprise our "biological terrain". We have an inner landscape, much like the farmer, who needs to cultivate his/her land. Depending upon the conditions we create, knowingly or unknowingly, we will reap health or disease.

The days of feeling like vulnerable victims, at the mercy of viruses, bacteria, germs, cancer cells, and other pathogenic organisms that just randomly "jump into" our bodies, are gone! We realize that by consciously making choices every day to both cleanse and detoxify our bodies, as well as to nourish and replenish them, we become our own doctors. We create conditions that are unfavorable to destructive organisms; in essence, we become unfriendly hosts to disease. When we learn to cultivate and lovingly tend our "biological terrain", we will indeed experience "empowered health"!
