What is the Colon?

The small and large intestines, with the help of enzymes from the liver and pancreas, change food into a form that the body can use for energy and repair. The final part of the digestive tract, the colon, is about five feet long and has an average of two and a half inches. It must handle the bulk of the food we eat. Its lining includes sensitive nerves and glands that aid in the assimilation of food, especially vitamins, enzymes, minerals, amino acids, essential lipids, and water.

A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. The elimination of undigested food and other waste products is as important as the proper digestion and assimilation of food. Wastes allowed to remain too long in the digestive system feed harmful bacteria providing a breeding ground for sickness and disease.  The system breaks down.

The colon was designed with an efficient system for elimination. Unfortunately, this design has been dis-turbed by poor eating habits, insufficient exercise and emotional/physical stresses which cause the system to degenerate and toxins to accumulate. The presence of these toxins can cause constipation, diarrhea, lack of energy and countless other ailments. When the material collected in the colon becomes toxic, it will pass into the bloodstream as a poison.

How Do I Know if I Need a Treatment?
Almost everyone can benefit from some internal cleansing. Those of us whose diets have been rich in refined & revitalized foods are even in greater need of hydro-therapy.

How Many Treatments Does an Individual Need?
An effective cleansing program involves a series of treat-ments, combined with a healthy diet, exercise, and relaxation techniques to detoxify the body and rebuild and rejuvenate the bowel. Many patients feel a big difference after just one treatment, as old matter is washed out. The removal of large amounts of waste buildup is a gradual process and varies for each per-son.

Is a Hydrotherapy Treatment Harmful ?
No. Unlike laxatives, which can be habit forming and cause inflammation of the colon, hydro-therapy is a gentle, thorough cleansing. Greater harm can result from not washing out the toxic substances inside the colon.

How Are We Nourished?
A person is nourished by what is digested and assimilated. The quality of food you put into your body and how well the body processes and uses that food is crucial to your existence. We are sustained by the kind of foods we eat but our tissue cells are not necessarily being regenerated. We age more quickly and are not as healthy as we might be as foods decay and become toxic. In this ‘twilight zone’ of health, we often are not really sick though we may suffer from any number of complaints, but neither are we well.
