Colon cancer kills 40% more people in the United States than AIDS. More American men and women die from colon cancer than breast cancer or prostate cancer. Colon rectal cancer will kill about 60,000 Americans this year with over 130,000 new cases diagnosed.
100% of Americans eventually will have diverticulosis. Diverticuli are sac-like herniations through the muscle-wall of the colon caused by increased pressure in the bowel from constipation. As we get older we develop many diverticuli. These diverticuli can become impacted with fecal material, which then can become infected. This can errode into the surrounding mucosa causing blood vessels to rupture and the infection begins. This is then known as diverticulitis.
Also approximately 50% of most Americans will get polyps in the colon. Polyps are known to be responsible for the cause of most colon cancer.
WHAT IS COLON THERAPY?
Colon therapy is a safe, gentle infusion of warm filtered water, through the rectum and into the colon. This is a restorative, painless procedure which is both relaxing and effective. The individual lies comfortably on a custom treatment table and the therapist gently inserts a small speculum into the rectum. The therapist then monitors the temperature and pressure of the water infused into and out of the colon. This colon therapy method is called a CLOSED SYSTEM. The entire colon can be cleansed without stress to the indivudual. The waster material is eliminated through the machine and into the drain without any offensive odor, maintaining the dignity of the individual.
IS COLON THERAPY DIFFERENT THAN AN ENEMA?
Colon therapy is an extended and more complete form of an enema. The cleansing activity of an enema is limited to the area of the rectum. Due to the body’s natural reflex to expel any material in the rectum, sessions are shorter and less effective. Colon therapy extends beyond the rectum to cleanse the entire colon offering greater cleansing and therapeutic benefits. Enemas or laxatives may precipitate dehydration. Colon therapy improves hydration throughout the body.
FREQUENCY OF SESSIONS
Many years of poor diet cannot possibly be reversed in just one or two sessions. An initial series of three to sex sessions is recommended. More sessions may be required in cases of chronic constipation or an atonic (sluggish) colon. Following the initial series, you may want to follow up with sessions every three to six months.
HOW DOES THE COLON WORK?
The large intestine (colon) is much larger in diameter than the small intestine, but shorter in length. It extends from the Ileocal valve to the anus. The small intestine empties it’s contents into the beginning of the colon. The indigested food is propelled through the colon by muscular waves of contraction and relaxation called, perstalsis. Bulk or fiber in the diet increases the strength of colon contractions and softens the stool allowing the colon to act like a well oiled machine. This food material remains in the colon approximately four to five hours. The entire process of digestion from the ingestion of food to defecation normally takes between twelve to twenty-four hours. During this time it undergoes many changes. The colon contains the largest concentration of bacteria in the body. These bacteria provide important functions, as the synthesis of folic acid, B-vitamins and vitamin K from the food.
Two common conditions of the colon are diarrhea, and constipation. Diarrhea occurs when food residue rushes through the large intestine before the colon has had time to absorb the water. It is sometimes caused by bacteria. Constipation occurs when food residue remains in the colon too long and becomes dehydrated and hard. These conditions can cause waste material to stagnate and alter the proportion of healthy bacteria to disease producing bacteria. Many factors contribute to this condition including diet, stress, medications, and physical disabilities.
Colon Therapy helps to re-hydrate this impacted material which allows the colon to function properly. It also encourages peristalic movement and improves muscle tone in the colon. A cleansing program may lead to the restoration of regular bowel movements.
WHY IS COLON THERAPY IMPORTANT?
Ideally you should have a bowel movement for each meal eaten, or at least one bowel movement each day. Do you? Probably not, which is why the average person is walking around with at least six to ten pounds of fecal material in their colon. This is very unhealthy! Consider your colon your sewer system. It is the last place everything dumps into and unfortunately, what we eat doesn’t always come out. After years of processed food without fiber, medications, and other toxic chemicals, you can see how one’s health may be on the decline.
You may hear comments like, “Colon therapy is not natural, or the colon can take care of itself.” The truch is , we don’t eat organic foods, whole grains or raw vegetables like our ancestors did. Our colons can get clogged and impacted, so why not get a little help.
Did you know your large and small intestines stretched out, would be as long as a bus? Since Americans have the highest incidence of colon cancer, knowing what goes on in the last five feet of your intestines can help to SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Colon Therapy can change the way you feel and start you on the road to a healthy beginning. Losing weight, feeling vibrant and a healthy glowing skin are just a few of the many benefits of colon therapy.
