Every medical procedure in history is backed by a theory. Most medical theories are never proven. Angeoplasty and bypass surgery are two modern day examples of medical procedures that have never been proven. Most medical procedures and theories are eventually replaced with new procedures and theories. We often look back and ask "How could we have been so foolish?" Proving again that hindsight is always clearer than foresight. Unlike most medical procedures, the theory of colon hydrotherapy has never been replaced. It has been time tested and proven over 3500 years of medical history. To date we have never asked ourselves "How could we have been with thousands and thousands of medical modalities?" In every generation colon hydrotherapy has always made sense.

Colon hydrotherapy is a greatly extended and much more complete type of enema. In water volume alone one colonic is equal to forty or fifty enemas. Whereas a pint to a quart is used in an enema, 8-10-12 or even 15 gallons of water is used in a modern day colonic.

Water is nature's universal cleanser, softener, neutralizer, and purifier. The clonic moves out the sluggish feces, cleans out the impacted diverticular pockets and begins to soften months and years of hardened plaque. Water has been known to soften and break stone over a period of time. That's exactly what it begins to do inside the walls of the colon. The treatment continually brings water safely up the entire length of the colon and brings it comfortably back down without the necessity of sitting on a toilet.

The warm water removes strata on strata, layer after layer of hardened fecal material from the walls of the colon, while it dilutes harmful bacteria and toxic concentrations in the large intestine. This cleansing effect reduces stagnation and subsequent bacterial proliferation and also maintains harmony of the intestinal flora while promoting optimal colon health.

The cleansing, purifying, and detoxifying aspect of colon hydrotherapy is widely understood by both health care practitioners and the lay public. What comes as a surprise to most people is the long term therapeutic effects of this form of treatment.

The great majority of American's colons have become very flaccid over a lifetime. This lack of muscle tome is due to many contributing factors including; lack of fiber, lack of pure water, lack of enzymes, overeating, junk foods, devitalized foods, paste like foods, overmedication, alcohol, drugs, laxatives, antibiotics, lack of exercise, internalization of stress, and faulty living habits.

These contributing factors cause a glue like affect to take place on the walls of the colon and bowel pockets to get impacted. If this condition is not corrected the muscles in the colon lose their tone. Left uncorrected the colon's natural peristalsis becomes increasingly diminished and eventually lost.

Colon hydrotherapy not only corrects this dilemma but reduces stagnation, exercises and strengthens the muscles of the colon. As months and years of this toxic glue like material is removed, the colon begins to restore its natural peristalsis.

This is good news for those who have suffered with chronic constipation because colon hydrotherapy is the only therapy that addresses the cause of this condition. The naturopathic medicine definition of constipation is less than three bowel movements per day - one for each meal.

The theory of colon hydrotherapy conforms to the ageless principles of detoxification. When we reduce the total level of toxicity, we are getting down to the rock bottom cause of most disease conditions. In naturopathic medicine we believe that toxicity is the common denominator of all disease. Colon hydrotherapy reduces the body's total level of toxicity.

Although naturopathic detoxification goes way beyond colon hydrotherapy, involving the entire body, it is part of the total detoxification process. If you understand the principle of detoxification you understand colon hydrotherapy. In fact the science of naturopathy.

When the colon is working efficiently digestion is unincumbered and nutrition is able to work efficiently. In naturopathic medicine we believe that it is impossible for nutrition to work efficiently in a toxic body.

One of the primary differences between nutritional medicine is that we start with the detoxification process before nutritional therapy. Medical nutrition does not address the issue of detoxification.

Many nutritional doctors are prescribing tons of good natural vitamins that are simply not working because the body is toxic. The basic naturopathic principle is: nutrition can not work efficiently in a toxic body.

A toxic body is usually the result of a toxic colon. There's no getting around the colon because it's the main organ of elimination. Medical doctors have tried to do an end run for decades around the colon and they have failed. Now we have nutritional doctors trying to do the same thing. The colon must be addressed if it is not working efficiently, because nutrition will not work efficiently if it is not.

We must face the facts. If the colon is blocked, digestion will be blocked in direct proportion. If digestion is faulty even the best nutritional therapy in the world will be compromised.

If the cells of the body are toxic, the best therapy in the world will fail to achieve its potential. A dirty colon is responsible for more degenerative disease than any other single factor. All disease, remember, must have a host to exist. Disease can not exist in a healthy body. There is no better host in the world than a dirty, backed up, toxic colon.

Rectal/colon cancer is a leading cancer killer in America. It is the direct result of the typical American diet that is high in saturated fat, low in fiber, high in poisons, low in enzymes, high in sugar, and low in essential nutrients.

Rectal/colon cancer is 100% preventable. In some countries of the world this disease is nonexistent. I America we are overstuffed and undernourished. The average American eats four times what they are able to assimilate and utilize and its deficient in fiber and essential nutrients.

When morbific material sits in the colon it begins to putrefy and rot. Over a lifetime it begins to eat away at the colon.

Periodic cleansing of the colon would minimize the exposure of potential carcinogens to the delicate colon tissue. Colon hydrotherapy will dilute the toxin concentration in the colon and facilitate the removal of encrusted toxic material. The result is a reduced load on the portal (liver) and lymphatic system, allowing all the body's elimination channels to open up its full detoxification potentials.

When the bowel is blocked, even partially, it slows down the body's entire detoxification process. Other eliminative organs are capable of working overtime for a while, but no matter how strong these other organs of the body may be, the kidneys, lungs, lymph, liver, and skin were not designed to do what only the colon is able to do.

Most skin conditions, kidney disorders, lymphatic congestion, liver sluggishness, and blood disorders are the direct result of a toxic colon.

Colon hydrotherapy is the most direct approach to correcting most kidney disorders because the kidneys, like the colon, is an eliminative organ. Reduce the body's total level of toxicity and you reduce the stress placed on the kidneys.

Most skin conditions are directly or indirectly related to the colon. Both are elimination organs. If toxins aren't being eliminated in a timely fashion, by way of the colon, the body will automatically seek out an alternative eliminative channel. Most skin conditions that have a medical name attached to then are basically toxins backed up from the colon attempting to eliminate through the skin.

The primary function of the metabolism is to eliminate toxins. This requires a tremendous amount of bio-energy. A tired body is a toxic body. Most undue fatigue is associated with faulty elimination and a toxic overload. When the body's precious bio-energy must be spent to neutralize toxins, to prevent the body from poisoning itself, there's little physical or mental energy leftover for anything else. The body is very conservative. It is not going to spend its vital resources needed for survival.

The lungs are connected to the colon. If the colon is not eliminating efficiently the lungs will attempt to pick up the slack. Most respiratory problems can be traced back to a faulty colon. That's the root source of most nonsmoking respiratory problems. Clean the colon and you reduced the body's total level of toxicity, thereby reducing the stress on the lungs, bronchials, and respiratory system.

Like the kidneys the liver is the body's filtration system. It is responsible for keeping the blood clean. When the colon becomes backed up it becomes impossible for the liver to filter properly. It becomes overwhelmed. Toxins back up into the blood stream affecting every organ, gland, system, and cell of the body and the brain.

The chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If the colon is toxic, the blood will eventually become toxic. If the blood is toxic every organ, gland, and system of your body is affected.

In naturopathic medicine we believe the strong organs of the body will take care of themselves. It is the inherently weak systems of the body that we are concerned about because toxins will gravitate to the weakest tissue.

If you have a weak heart toxins will gravitate to it. If you have a weak immune system, toxins will gravitate to that area. If you have a weak nervous system, toxins will affect your behavior and/or your neurology and/or your brain.

There is no system of the body that is not affected by toxins. We believe most disease is the result of toxic overwhelm.

We believe in naturopathic medicine that the first place to begin treating and preventing disease is by reducing toxicity. When we reduce toxicity we free up the bio-energy that is required to fight toxins. When bio-energy is released the body has the vitality it requires to heal it self.

There is no condition known to medical science that can not be helped with a colonic, because colonics reduce toxicity. We believe the place to start fighting disease is with a colonic. The first place to start preventing disease is with a colonic.

Everyone can benefit from a good colon cleansing. It can do no harm to wash out the colon. The benefits of a series of colonics can be life transforming.

Dr. Harvey Kellogg operated on 25,000 colons. He said he never saw a healthy colon and that everyone would benefit greatly by going through a series of colonics followed by a lifetime maintenance program of one colonic a month.

95 year old Dr. Bernard Jensen said, "Everything is connected to the colon." Just the opposite of our modern day drug doctors who seem to be telling us that nothing is connected to the colon. Dr. Jensen overcame cancer recently for the third time in his life without chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or drugs. He did it 100% natural. He always starts with the colon.

Dr. Norman Walker was supposed to die at age 50. His doctors told him to get his affairs in order because he only had three months to live. He went on a naturopathic detoxification program accompanied by colon hydrotherapy. Part of his changed lifestyle was taking a colonic every week. He took colonics for 68 years, and outlived all those who pronounced his death in three months. He died in Arizona at the age of 118.

Dr. Walker taught that the place to start any health improvement program was by taking a series of colonics. A clean colon will manifest itself in a clean blood stream.

Colon hydrotherapy not only removes impactions, parasites, intestinal fatuous, and cellular debris, but cleanses and rejuvenates the portion of the immune system that resides in the intestinal tract.

The fastest way to improve the body's immune system is to clean the colon. The best way to depress the immune system is by ignoring the importance of a clean colon to the immune system and the rest of the body, and attempting to do an end run around the colon, like the orthodox drug doctors have been trying to do for two generations by substituting drugs, drugs, and more drugs for a clean colon.

The therapy of colon hydrotherapy is based on the ageless principle of naturopathic medicine known as detoxification. For the last 120 years this principle has been in direct opposition of the germ theory of disease expostulated by Louis Pasteur. What is not taught in medical schools or to the general public is that Pasture later completely renounced his theory. Even on his death bed he said, "The germ is nothing the terrain is everything."

A disease germ must have a host to exist. Germs thrive in a toxic body. The orthodox medical profession's solution for the last 120 years has been to drug the germs. As the drugs mutate and grow more resistant, stronger and stronger drugs must be used. Every drug is an immune suppressant. This means that the stronger the drug the weaker the immune system becomes. As our immune systems become more and more irreparably suppressed, we become totally dependant on so called medical science for survival.

We believe that our Creator designed our immune systems for a preordained purpose. We do not believe they should be drugged into suppression. We believe any medical or any science that does not conform to God's natural and revealed laws, is not a true science. We believe much of what we call medical science is a false science based on false principles.

The naturopathic medicine solution to germs is to simply clean up the internal environment and give the germs no host. Keep the body free form toxins and germs will have no host.

This is what colon hydrotherapy is all about! The therapy is at direct odds with modern day orthodox drug therapy. We respectfully submit that for the past 120 years they have been wrong!

Drugs are toxic. They are foreign substances that do not belong in the human body. All drugs are harmful. Some drugs have long term deleterious effects causing other disease and complications including death. A recent article in the new England Journal of Medicine admits that "Practicing medicine correctly kills 100,000 innocent people every year."
