What is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle, natural method of washing long-term wastes from the entire colon.  When this is done, the body no longer has to deal with waste accumulated during a lifetime, and can use more of its own strength to heal itself and fight disease.

Who needs colon hydrotherapy?
Virtually everyone has these built-up wastes in their colon.  Most people in developed countries eat a lot of processed foods.  With the use of preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, chemical and hormonal food additives and irradiation the need for cleansing the colon has never been greater.  As these (unnatural) foods move through the colon, fluid are absorbed during digestive process, and a very sticky waste is created.  These wastes cling to the colon walls and rot, giving off toxins that the body has already rejected.

Can Colon Hydrotherapy be used to prepare for a colonoscopy?         Colon Hydrotherapy is a great alternative for colonoscopy preparation.  A study done at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut found that the quality of colon cleaning, overall tolerence, comfort, and convenience were significantly better for pateints who were assigned colon hydrotherapy.

How does colon hydrotherapy work?
Colon hydrotherapy uses state-of-the-art equipment to gently introduce purified water into the colon.  During a colon hydrotherapy session, warm filtered water is gently infused into the rectum and circulates throughout the colon, dissolving and removing its contents, while the client lies comfortably on a table.  The pressure and temperature are controlled by a trained and experienced colon hydro-therapist.  An informative video is available to view on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPnp0u1_qNw&feature=related (*note: The office shown is not the Kemetic Colon Care office).

Is colon hydrotherapy safe and sanitary?
Yes. As the method is an enclosed system, the waste materials are removed without unpleasant odors or discomfort.  The client's dignity is preserved by the use of private draping and room.  Water temperature and pressure is closely monitored and regulated during a series of fills and releases to aid in the perialstaltic action of the colon.  The procedure is professionally performed and preserves modesty.

Is colon hydrotherapy painful or dangerous?
No. Pressure is less than naturally occurring gas. The most one feels is the urge to have a bowel movement.  This urge is satisfied by the constantly circulating water which is removing first new waste, then old, long-term wastes.

How many colon hydrotherapy sessions does a person need?
It takes a long time to build up the long-term wastes in your colon, so in order to remove them gently; it may take more than one session.

A recommendation will be made by the colon hydro-therapist after the assessing the results of the first session.  Results depend on a person's health condition, level of toxicity, and desire to improve.

Can colon hydrotherapy affect flora or electrolyte balance?
Good Flora does not usually predominate in colons that have old wastes stuck to their walls.  Colon hydrotherapy therefore washes out not only the bad flora, but the environment in which it grows.  Then good flora has the ability to thrive in a clean environment.

Colon Hydrotherapy has very little effect on the balance of electrolytes. The few that are lost are replaced by proper eating or the fresh juices that you might drink later.


Can colon hydrotherapy help to control weight?
Researches from scientist in both America and Europe have demonstrated that people in their richer nations carry within their bodies anywhere from 10 to 50 pounds of accumulated toxic materials.

Although this material is stored throughout the body, the majority of it is stored in the colon.  Accumulated toxic waste materials slow down metabolism, beginning after age 25 to 30.  Colon Hydrotherapy helps a person to lose the toxic weight and increase the metabolic rate at the same time.
