The Colon Cleanse

…. What is   colonic cleansing ….

Colon cleansing is a safe, alternative method to treat many of our symptoms and problems. It’s not just for people with constipation, but for anyone who wishes to feel better and cleanse their body.

Cleansing is necessary to rid our body of toxins that accumulate as a result of an unhealthy diet, environmental pollution and chemicals, and a constant use of antibiotics. Way to poor health and diminished lifestyle.
When the colon is irritated by diet, stress, drugs, chemicals, and other ‘toxic’ substances, it tries to protect itself by producing excess mucus. This additional mucus can bind with the sludge from refined and processed foods, such as white flour, and build up on the wall of the bowel, narrowing the space through which the faeces pass. This layer of gluey, hardened faeces (known as colon / mucoid plaque) can weigh several kilos and makes an attractive home for harmful organisms (e.g. yeast, worms and bacteria!). It also lodges in pockets within the bowel, causing ballooning, diverticuli and inflammation. Even if you have regular bowel movements or diarrhea, don’t think that you have escaped this problem! The stools can still pass daily through an encrusted colon and leave behind the accumulated plaque residue on the walls reducing the inner diameter like a water pipe blocked by mineral deposits. Since the walls of the bowel which normally absorb nutrients from your food, are so encrusted, your absorption rate becomes dramatically reduced. This gives way to poor health and diminished lifestyle.

The function of the colon, the largest organ in the human body, is the absorption of nutrients, and the discharge of digestive wastes & toxins from our body.
Over time and with our ever changing diets the colon retains a layer of plaque which effects our absorption of nutrients and can lead to a variety of illnesses, slight and major problems, just a few are listed below.

Fasting ……

Fasting allows the colon a rest period and with the aid of herbs and clays taken daily it begins to clear, the colonics is an integral and very important part of the fast, but if any way you feel uncomfortable with this you can of course not do it .
How it works
We do this by Colonic cleansing. Colonic Using a gravity fed system you introduce via a very small bore tube an organise coffee / water mixture to the colon.  You choose how much liquid to enter and when it is released. This in and out flow of water, together with gentle abdominal massage will assist in removing the poisonous plaque layer from your colon. You will be amazed with the effect of this process. It is painless and whilst fasting also a great relief from a few slight side effects you may have the first few days, you actually feel much better after a colonic each day and many people by the 3/4 day actually look forward to them, sounds weird but true!

Person receiving a colonic lies on a special colema board which is about 32″ – 42″ below the controlled water flow. A sterilized speculum is gently inserted into the rectum (by you). Water flow, which is under the control of the person receiving the colonic, flows into the colon via the specula, then out and around the specula carrying with it impacted faeces and mucus. As the water flows out of the colon you gently massage your abdomen to help the colon release its contents. It is possible to see the expelled waste matter in the catch basin at the end of the process.
You will perform the colonic irrigation by yourself in the privacy of your own bathroom. The colonic process usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

Are there Side Effects?
There are no side effects. It is not uncommon however, for some people to start to feel like they have a cold or a 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 realise a feeling of well-being with further treatments.

Will colonics damage normal Intestinal Flora?
Colon Cleansing is a simple 3-8 week process that doesn’t require any drastic diet changes, or a complete fast. Will it definitely heal your symptoms? No one can promise you that. We all have different bodies, so different things work for different people. But it has worked for many people in healing their acne, Candida, brain fog, digestive problems, and sluggishness.

By the end of the regimen, most will feel the difference and feel livelier due to the removal of toxins, healthier bowels, no constipation, and faster transit times.

Special note for weight loss

Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the colon/digestive system as either a primary contributor… or a secondary problem which accentuates slowdowns in other critical body systems, like the endocrine (glandular) system and the circulatory system.
Toxins present in the unhealthy colon can be transported into the circulatory system… And soon the body may be unable to properly metabolize food and fat, or to provide vital energy for living!
A classic sign of colon toxicity in women — and one of their most common complaints about their figures — is their potbelly. This condition may be very simple to correct by adopting an improved health regimen.

The colonic is self administered in a private room  after detailed instruction and support .
