I have been a long been proponent of colon therapy (also called colonics and colon hydrotherapy).rnAfter all, it’s often said that health begins in your colon, and along with your healthy Body Ecology diet, colon cleansing is one of the best ways to keep your intestines (and the rest of your body) in tip-top shape. Colon Therapy and Colonoscopy Preparation During colon therapy, a trained colon therapist uses warm water to gently fill up and flush out your colon. This process may feel strange at first, but it can clean out your colon more thoroughly than many other colon cleansing treatments. In fact, colon therapy is so effective for cleansing,doctors are beginning to recommend colonics as an effective colonoscopy preparation. rnLet’s face it anyone who’s had a colonoscopy will say the preparation was the worst part. Colonoscopy preparation consists of taking drinking a mixture that results in uncomfortable diarrhea as a way to clear your bowels for the procedure. Indeed colonoscopy preparation alone may keep people from doing this important early-detection procedure. rnNew research is showing that colon therapy is a win-win for doctors AND patients. With colon therapy, doctors are getting better colonoscopy results and patients have a MUCH easier colonoscopy preparation. Why Cleanse Your Colon? Besides colonoscopy preparation, there are other reasons to cleanse your colon with colon therapy as well. Colon therapy is great if you:
  • Experience constipation
  • Want to improve your colon health
  • Want an easier colonoscopy preparationrn
  • Need to detox
  • Want to support your digestive healthrn
  • Want to hydrate your body down to the cellular levelrn
  • Are experiencing signs of “die off
  • Are moving from processed foods to a healthier diet, like the Body Ecology program.
  • Want to flush out bad bacteria, yeast, mucous and old fecal matter from your colon
The Body Ecology System of Health and Healing embraces colon therapy. Both complement each other to cleanse and detoxify your body. rnIn fact, many Certified Body Ecology Coaches are colon therapists. And I, have often been privileged enough to be a keynote speaker and workshop leader at the International Association of Colon Therapists (I-ACT) annual conferences. Colon Therapy for All We can ALL benefit from colon therapy. Whether you are kicking off a weight loss or detox program, changing your eating habits or simply doing annual “spring cleaning,” cleansing your colon is a great way to feel better fast. rnOf course, supporting your colon health also requires a commitment to nourishing your body with healthy foods. Learn more about cleansing with the Body Ecology program and colon therapy in: The Principles of Cleansing Audio CD with Donna Gates You will learn all about toxins that contribute to illness AND how to eliminate them with a variety of cleansing techniques. Colon Therapy Essentials Colon therapy is a great way to jumpstart your journey to health or to enhance the natural cleansing process that takes place as part of a healthy diet. rnHere’s what you need to know about colon therapy:
  • It’s safe. Colon therapy is a safe way to flush toxins out of your body. Be sure to find a certified colon therapist and check their references as you would with any technician.
  • It’s effective. Whether you just need a periodic colonic or want to cleanse out your colon more thoroughly with a series of sessions as you start your new diet, colon therapy is easy, pain free, more thorough, and less messy than many other cleansing options including herbs.
  • It reduces detox symptoms. If you are starting to feel the symptoms of detoxification then a colonic can help speed toxins out of your body and keep you feeling energetic.
Colon therapy is just one way to take care of your digestive system. Combined with a healthy, cleansing diet, regular colonics can heal your intestines to create vibrant health in children and adults. rnSource: HYDROTHERAPY COMPAIRED WITH PEG-ES LAVAGE AND AQUEOUS SODIUM PHOSPHATE AS BOWEL PREPARATION FOR ELECTIVE COLONOSCOPY: A PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMIZED, SINGLE BLINDED TRIAL, DotoloResearch.com. http://www.dotoloresearch.com/acg2006.htm
