Why is a well Functioning bowel important for health?
Your bowels are about 35 feet in length with the surface area of a tennis court! That is lot of service area to care for. You have more neurons in our gut than in your spinal column. Every organ in your body has a nerve that connects to the intestinal tract. Your microbiome weighs over 5 lbs. The Neurons fire and wire the nerves that connect to your organs. think of neurons as cell phones. If you your cell phone is covered with poop you won't be able to receive a call. In your gut if fecal matter is covering up the neurons their is going to be dis-ease in the body as these nerves are not longer firing properly. How your bowels live is how you will live. Learn more in the webinar located here.Can you describe what a healthy, well-functioning bowel is?
When one feels the urge to eliminate and immediately honors the urge by a trip to the toilet, elimination is quick and painless and will feel complete. Stools are medium to light brown, have very little odor and will break up in water. You should be eliminating daily and its best if you eliminate after every meal. If you are not then that old matter is just rotting and destroying your microbiome and preventing your neurons in the gut from wiring and firing the nerves to the organs. This is how dis-ease begins!What are the signs of a colon that is NOT functioning properly?
When sufferers finally visit a physician, they usually relate a history of one or more of these complaints that go back years: constipation, coated tongue, bad breath, sallow complexion, dark circles under the eyes, abnormal body odor, cold hands and feet, blood pressure up or down, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, menstrual problems, swelling of legs, asthma, backache, and loss of memory or concentration.Can I Work After Doing a Colonic?

What filtration methods are used for the water?
FDA registered equipment will provide the necessary charcoal filtration system and ultraviolet purification units for your water safety.
Is this treatment uncomfortable?
We use top of the line, FDA approved Libbe "open system" colonic beds. Our beds are designed for ultimate comfort, privacy and efficiency. After a short video on how the system is used, you will be able to relax knowing the gravity flow system will not bombard your colon with too much pressure - the beds allow you to release at your convenience and as much as needed.
Will one session do the job?
Short answer: NO. If you are constipated you should want to schedule a minimum of 3-5 sessions and plan on a continued therapy sessions to get the colon back into shape. It takes 10 days to get the entire colon cleansed out. This is why we designed our 10 Day Wellness and Healing Retreat Click here to Learn more about how the body heals naturally. Even if you think you are not constipated but are having symptoms that are not getting better on their own, know that the bowels must first be healed before any effectual healing can take place. During your consult you will learn what you may expect and what is a realistic expectation of results.
It took you years to get in your current condition, it won't clear itself in a single session. That would be unrealistic. If this is your first time we recommend a minimum of 3 to 10 sessions of colonic sessions. One session will empty only part of the colon.
As many doctors have written in articles, "I also recommend two sessions the first week (back to back - one today, one tomorrow), two sessions the second week, and one a week for the next eight weeks. After completion of all twelve sessions, most clients return every couple of months for maintenance purposes. You will determine when you return".
However, for more severe or progressive issues and symptoms, we highly recommend our ten day Deep Tisue Cleanse and Healing Retreat.
If I can only afford a 1 or 3 sessions at this time is it a waste of my money to begin now?
If you had a dirty toxic house strewn with garbage would it be a waste of time to begin cleaning until you had the energy or money to do the whole house? Of course not. Begin as soon as you can and put it into your health care budget to do regular cleansing until you get the health results your are looking for. During your consult your practioner will be able to give you a better assessment of what to expect. Look it took you years to to get to where your health is now, the fastest way we have seen people turn their health around is the 10 Day Deep Tissue Cleanse and Healing Retreat.

See the miracles of doing the 10 day cleanse here.
Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure for a wide variety of many health problems. By re-toning bowel muscle and improving bowel elimination, we remove the number one source of disease in the body. As Dr. Bernard Jensen stated in treating over 350,000 people. "In treating over 350,000 people it is clear that if you want any effectual healing you must first begin with the bowels."
Are the rectal tubes used repeatedly?
Absolutely not! Each tube is a sterile, single-use tube that remains sealed until the client is in the room.
How big is the rectal tube?
With our top of the line Libbe beds, the rectal tube that is inserted is only about the size of a pencil eraser! Our colon hydrotherapist is on site to help you if you choose or you can do it yourself! These state of the art tubes are designed to move aside when you release, so you do not have to remove and reinsert with each elimination.
How Often should I poop? If you eat you should eliminate. Going once every other day, every 3 days, one a week, once every 2 weeks or more is a severe constipation issue. Ignoring this or treating it constantly with laxatives or does of magnesium or other products is making the problem worse. Stress usually creates this problem of twisted, distorted constipated bowels. The only effectual way to increase elimination is to use colon Hydrotherapy to dissolve old fecal matter and increase the efficacy of the bowels. Think of it this way your bowels should resemble the flexibility of a raw piece of filet mignon, yet constipated peoples colons are more like beef jerky. By hydrating with water you will be able to gently dissolve old build up of old fecal matter and hydrate the tissue of the colon.
What Should My Stool Look Like?
Will laxatives or enemas accomplish the same results as a Colonic?
To clean out the lower part of the colon, enemas are fine. But, you are missing about four feet of the colon. Laxatives are an irritant to the body. Therefore, the body produces a thin watery substance that goes through the colon and leaves behind impacted toxins and waste. Over time your ability to poop becomes worse.
What signs show inefficient elimination?
The most miserable people on earth are people with inefficient elimination. Some of the signs of a toxic colon are: coated tongue, fetid breath, sallow complexion, abnormal body odor, dark circles under the eyes, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, chronic headaches, irritability, nervousness, nausea, depression, asthma, backaches, acne, hives and psoriasis.
Is the colon the only organ that holds Toxic Waste?
No! Toxic Waste is found throughout the body. When toxins cannot be eliminated through the colon, liver, kidneys, perspiration or lungs, the body must store them in the tissue of the body. Some favorite spots for storage are fat cells, joints, muscles, arteries, the liver and other organs. To cleanse any organ you must start with the bowels first.
“What if I’m having my period?”
Colon Hydrotherapy is perfectly safe during this time, and will probably decrease the cramps which accompany a period.
Can Colon Hydrotherapy improve the Bacteria balance in my body?
Yes the fastest way to improve the good bacteria in your gut is to remove all of the old putrefying rotting mass that is destroying your good bacteria now. If you had old rotting moldy food in your refrigerator you wouldn't put new food in there or throw in some probiotics and expect things to change would you? Of course not, you would clean out the old rot first and then put in fresh healthy food. You must do the same with your gut! Now your gut has a healthier place for you to put in the good bacteria and have success in establishing itself.
Can I have a colonic if I am sick?
Yes, you should. Most people that come in with runny noses, coughing, and feeling absolutely miserable leave feeling much better. Remember 85% of your immune system is in your gut. Cleaning out any old filth that is disrupting the immune system will result in an improvement. In a few instances after looking over you intake form, your therapist, may suggest you wait but that is rare.
Doesn't a Juice cleanse achieve the same thing?
A juice cleanse is really not a cleanse at all. It is fantastic for your body to get a high amount of micro nutrients from organic juiced food and you may feel better. But you didn't cleanse the body. You gave it a nice digetive break and your bowels and body thank you. However, when you do colon hydrotherapy along with our other protocols to cleanse the liver, lymphatic system and start removing parasites and heavy metals you will really see a difference. Learn more about this in the webinar 4 Natural Laws of Healing.
I am super constipated. What should I reasonably expect.
Everyone is different. On your first consult your therapist will look over your intake form and ask you many questions. From this feedback you will develop a plan that is right for you. You may feel relief on the very first colonic. Many times, however, it could take as long as 5 days to get the big blockage to release. This is usually pretty rare. Most see release within the first 3 days. Don't get frustrated. With a severe blockage that has been going on a while will take some time to retone and hydrate the bowels enough to dissolve that brick of old fecal matter. Like I stated, everyone is different. We have helped people who have not had a bowel movement in a month! We have people as young as 7 and as old as 95 do colonics and have had bowel issues their whole life. They did our 10 day Deep Tissue Cleanse and Wellness retreat and got very fast results. They continue to do regular maintenance and are regular as clock work. No matter what your age you can get your bowels working again!
