In 1990, a study reported in the Journal of Natural Medicine, entitled ''Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on Serum Electrolytes'', showed that no patient experienced any clinically significant symptoms or disturbances.

Almost never. Firstly, many of us have a considerable amount of impacted faeces in our colon. This is hardened, rubbery or wallpaper-like material. Substantial work must be done in order to remove it. Secondly, there is a subtle learning process involved in receiving colonics. you become more aware of what is going on in your abdomen, and as your body learns how to allow the cleansing experience, you are better able to enter into that process, and therefore more material is released.

The object is to cleanse and balance the colon by removing faecal matter from the walls and diluteing bacterial toxins in the large intestine. The therapeutic effects of colonic irrigation is improved muscle tone of the colon.

Cleanse: Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body. Debris built up over a long period is gently removed in the process of a series of treatments. Once impacted material is removed, your colon can begin again to operate as it was intended to. Exercise: The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon encourages peristaltic (muscular contraction) activity by which the colon naturally moves material.

This is a question that can only be answered on an individual basis. You are a unique individual with unique needs. In order to answer this question, one should look at their health and lifestyle history, their diet, their goals, their economic situation, and their present lifestyle.

While the lungs, skin, kidneys and liver also serve to eliminate toxins, people have experienced throughout history, that when they ensure that the colon is cleansed and healed, the well-being of the whole body is greatly enhanced. Colonic Hydrotherapy has been found to be the most effective process available to accomplish this work quickly and easily.

Colon Hydrotherapy, traditionally known as Colonic Irrigation, gently fills the colon with warm sterile filtered water through a small sterile rectal tube. When the water is flushed out, it carries with it any material that has built up in the large intestine(colon), waste matter, toxins and trapped gases.

All of these terms describe the cleansing of the colon. We use the terms interchangeably but most often say "colonics." To learn more, please read on!

Electrolytes are the blood minerals that make up the pH balance of the blood and the electrical potential of the body. Without electrolytes, the body is like a car without a battery - it just cannot get started. Electrolytes for the most part are NOT stored, apart from salt and calcium, and you don't want to use your stores of bone for blood calcium as that can lead to osteoperosis and kidney stones. So electrolytes MUST come from the diet.
