Colonic Therapy Supported by Nutritional Consultations (Click  for PDF Printable Verson).
What is Colonic Therapy?
Colonic Therapy is an internal bath or irrigation of the colon that cleanses poisons, gas and
accumulated fecal matter from the colon. Unlike an enema the gravitational method of colon
hydrotherapy does not involve pressure. Colonics is simply a steady gentle flow of water in and out of
the colon during which an abdominal massage is provided to stimulate the colon allowing it to
recover its natural shape, tone and peristaltic wave action.
How is Colonic Therapy Administered?
A person receiving colonic therapy lies on a table below the temperature controlled input tank. A
disposable speculum is gently inserted in the rectum. Water, which is always under the direct
control of the practitioner, flows into the colon via a small tube and out through an evacuation
tube carrying with it impacted feces and mucous. As the water flows out of the colon, the
practitioner gently massages the abdomen to help the colon to release its contents. It is possible
to see the expressed waste matter as it is passes through a special viewing tube directly through
to a drain. The person is well covered and their modesty is given top priority during the
procedure. The colonic process takes only 40 minutes.
What are the benefits of Colonic Therapy?
Colonics offer relief from a variety of disturbances by cleansing the colon of impacted and
putrefied fecal matter. Fatigue, gas, headaches, irritability, skin problems, cold hands / feet and
lethargy are among problems people found relieved by colon cleansing. Constipation, of course,
is another as well as chronic diarrhea. The sense of well-being is often dramatically improved with
colon irrigation leaving the individual feeling lighter and more energetic. The body can again
assimilate nutrients in the colon and better defend itself against disease. Because natural
peristalsis, tone and regularity are restored, many serious diseases may be averted through this
gentle, sterile, scientific technique. Colon therapy is a key factor in the restoration of the body’s
natural balance.
Are there any side effects to Colonic Therapy?
There are none. It is not uncommon however, for some people to start to feel like they have a
cold or headache after a colonic. Toxins which have been lying dormant in the colon are now
being flushed out and a small amount may be re-absorbed into the body’s system. This healing
crisis passes quickly and the person will realize a feeling of well-being with further treatments.
Will Colonic Therapy damage the normal intestinal flora?
No, however we do recommend probiotics for their curative benefits. One of the functions of the
first half of the colon is to gather the intestinal flora needed for the colon. When the accumulation
of feces in the bowel leads to fecal encrustation, it is difficult for the colon to function normally and
the glands in this lining cannot produce the necessary intestinal flora. The resulting lack of
lubrication intensifies and generates toxemia. This upsets the normal acid-alkaline balance and
the growth of the friendly bacteria is stunted. Cleansing the colon will help bring the acid-alkaline
ratio back into better balance. In this environment, the friendly bacteria will again thrive and
disease causing bacteria will find it difficult to develop.
What are the factors leading to toxicity?
There are many contributing factors to autointoxication from a toxic bowel. Improper diet,
insufficient exercise, stress, overeating and ignoring the “call of nature” can all lead to bowel
problems.
Most of us, for instance, have had years of poor to average nutritional food. Much of our food is
subjected to processing modification, refining, frying and over cooking.
As a result, the digestive organs cannot process the minerals efficiently and they are passed out
of the small intestine into the colon as waste. The consumption of mucous-producing foods such
as meat, dairy products and flour, cause dense sticky bowel movements. Excess mucous in our
system is a sign of trouble. Mucousy stools are difficult for the body to eliminate. When they are
expelled, they leave behind a glue-like coating on the walls of the colon which accumulates layer
by layer into a hard rubbery crust. The body cannot eliminate these layers of hardened mucous
on its own. They are often carried for the duration of the person’s life as a toxic burden.
The good news is that you can make a choice to change your lifestyle. Try using therapies
like colonics and making nutritional changes to correct this process. Suzanne Frenette is Board Certified by the Acadamy of Naturopaths and Naturotherapists
