What is it!? Colon Hydrotherapy (CHT) is a highly effective means to cleanse, disinfect, hydrate, soothe, and tonify the muscular colon without the use of drugs and supplements. It is the most complete method to detoxify the whole body when used in conjunction with proper diet, fluid intake, exercise and healthy lifestyle. Modern CHT methods and equipment make this procedure safe, gentle, sanitary, and odorless!
Diseases and problems of the digestive system are the most frequently complained about issues to date. Our health depends on an efficient digestive and eliminative system. Some current medical statistics:
- Over $400 million per year is spent on laxatives.
- The second leading cause of death in the U.S. is colorectal cancer.
- Over 100,000 Americans die annually from this disease.
- Some 70 million suffer from types of bowel problems.
- 100,000 undergo colostomies.
- Topping the list of chronic illnesses is 40 million with Irritable Bowel Syndrome!
What will it do for me? It is not prudent to make claims so let me put forth what many people come to hydrotherapy for.
1) Many are changing their diet and lifestyle or doing a cleanse or fast or weight loss program. Further, they may be coming off drugs, alcohol or cigarettes.
2) Digestive problems including constipation, bloating gas, “heart burn”, irritable bowel, colitis, mild to moderate hemorrhoids and peptic ulcer to name a few.
3) Pre and post medical procedures including surgery and colonoscopy and when radioactive isotopes are used as in Barium enema or swallow. Get that out!!
4) Frequent and persistent colds and flu.
5) Allergies from food, air, and environment.
6) Long term antibiotic use resulting in digestive problems and / or yeast – fungal infections like Candida.
7) Skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rashes.
8) Syndromes and conditions including: Asthma, headaches, low energy, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and peripheral neuropathies.
9) Pregnancy. Not indicated during the first and third trimester but a wonderful help before and after delivery.
10) Athletes wanting to improve metabolic efficiency and remove muscle waste.
11) Improved vitality for all, including seniors who may suffer from improper diet, lack of exercise and dehydration.
12) Prevention. Some have a family history of gastro-intestinal disorders and others are just concerned about their chronic exposure to environmental pollution.
13) Cancer patients often suffer constipation as a result of the disease and / or drug therapy.
I think it all boils down to PREVENTION. We foremost need to eat well, drink quality water, exercise, and follow healthy lifestyles. Some of you may boast, “I do that!” Yes, BUT, our modern diet is devoid of adequate fiber, enzymes, moisture, vitamins and trace minerals. Further, our exposure to toxins, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, and carcinogens from food, air and the environment, are still bombarding us daily. Hydrotherapy can be a powerful line of defense!
