Constipation |
We have ask literally thousands of individuals, “Are
you constipated”? And the answer that we get back
almost everytime is, “No”. But when we start
asking more specific questions about their elimination habits
and their intake habits we start to paint a different picture.
In short the majority of individuals do not know what a normal
stool habit is but immediately disassociates constipation as
a problem. And they do not realize that their intake habits
and behaviors are directly responsible for their elimination
habits.
So, let’s start off by making a fundamental statement
for getting well. There is no way the body can heal itself unless
you can eliminate the underlying cause or causes. That
is to say that you must go after the cause of what’s causing
your problem. If you do not take the time to figure out,
find out, and go after the cause you will always be plagued
with continually having that problem. Remedies, ranging
from pills, to drugs, to surgery, in themselves will only provide
temporary relief, at best. So remember, finding and treating
the cause is your responsibility. Do not relay on others, especially
doctors to get you better.
Constipation is probably the most common underlying disease
that provokes all the many other different diseases in us today.
In fact, experts say that 92% of all diseases experienced by
man have their beginning in the colon through constipation.
But remember, constipation is also a primary disease of the
digestive track, itself. And once constipation gets started
in us it will provoke hundreds and countless other sicknesses
in us. And at some point in this whole process you to
make a trip to the doctor’s office for help or a quick
solution.
So, what is this problem called constipation that no body wants
to admit they routinely experience on a weekly basis?
What do some authorities say?
Dorland’s Medical Dictionary defines
“Constipation” as infrequent or difficult evacuation
of the feces. There are many reasons causing constipation
including; the individual’s eating habits, work habits,
stress loads, emotions, and self re-conditioned elimination
habits.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Constipation”
as a condition is which the feces are hard and elimination from
the bowels is infrequent and difficult.
But even these authorities do not spell out the complete underlying
picture of constipation and why it is causing so much havoc
within us. And, as you read on you will start of realize
that “The need for external cleansing is a lot less when
compared to the need for internal cleansing. And what
is seen on the outside (in the skin) is only a direct reflection
of what is on the inside.” Does your stools have
strong order? Is you urine a darker yellow and has order?
Are bubbles produced during your urination, which stays around
for minutes following? Does your arm pits have an orders?
And does your breath have an order? Do your feet have
an order and/or the skin peels? All are indications of
constipation.
So, what is responsible for and what causes this irregular,
infrequent, and difficult passage of feces. An irregular,
infrequent, and difficult stool passage that sometimes is dryness
and hardness and other times lose and runny. And either
way it often times lead to intestinal toxemia (one form of blood
poisoning). This is caused by the absorption of bacteria and
their toxins through the intestinal wall.
The intestinal tract runs from the mouth to the anus.
The last half of the intestinal tract includes the small and
large intestines. The large intestine, more commonly called
the “Colon”, is the most toxic site in the intestinal
tract and, not surprising, it is where the most proúlific
source of bacterial contamination is, as well. Like the
biologist who use bacteria to clean-up oil spills in the ocean
the body used bacteria to clean up its toxic debris, as well.
Let’s take a closer look at bacteria connection for a
moment.
In our study of what comes out of us through our normal colon
elimination channel we have to date isolated thirty-six toxic
substances. These toxic substances are mainly the decomposition
of proteins produced by the bacteria found within the colon.
The decomposed proteins, also known as amino acids, processed
by the colon’s bacterial colonies, yield such nasty compounds
as cresols, indoles, phenols, and skatoles.
Remember, the intestinal walls are a two way street. That
is to say the intestinal walls both eliminate, as well as absorb
materials. This includes the colon’s intestinal
walls, as well. So the bacterial decomposed proteins can
and do pass out through the intestinal wall and enter both the
lymphatic system and/or the hepatic (Liver) portal (blood) system.
The Lymphatic systems will recycle this unwanted toxic material
back throughout its 3 1⁄2 times larger system over that
of its counterpart, the blood vascular system. The Hepatic
portal system transported this unwanted toxic materials directly
to and through the liver and then back out into its systemic
blood vascular highways. That is to say that all blood
that enters the liver’s vascular system will be carried
throughout the rest of the body, including these unwanted toxic
materials. So, when fecal materials are slowed down and
require longer times to pass through or even become stagnated
in the colon a toxic over load is then placed on the liver and
throughout the rest of the body. Any form of intestinal
fecal material prolongation, better known as “Constipation”
not only retards the Liver’s ability to control the growth-death
rate of intestinal bacterial but also its abilities to detoxify
to body’s tissues, as well.
An overburdened liver, which cannot handle the toxic load from
the intestine, transfers the task of detoxification onto another
organ, the kidney. Unfortunately, the kidney is not able to
reduce the amount and kind of toxins that enter the liver, or
to detoxify them as efficiently as the liver. The toxins, which
the kidneys do not remove from the blood adversely, affect the
kidney tubules and increase circulating body-toxin levels. The
popular contention is that secondary symptoms of stagnation
in the colon such as irritability, halitosis (bad breath), tiredness,
dull eyes, poor complexion, are the result of mechanical distention
and not intestinal toxúemia. However, it is interesting
to note that these symptoms of stagnation readily subside with
a series of colon hydrotherapy treatments.
Laxatives aggravate the problem of constipaútion by interfering
with the colon’s ability to eliminate normally on its
own. The chemicals contained in laxatives irritate and stimulate
the colon to abnormally contract to expel the irritating substances.
In addition, the oral route of administration is the least optimal
method for evacuation of the colon because very important digestive
processes occurring in the stomach and small intestine are interfered
with. Most laxatives and purgatives precipitate dehydration
in the individual. Standard enemas only cleanse the rectum and
last portion of the colon missing most of the large intestine.
A problem of paramount significance is the straining at time
of elimination, which results from the constipation condition.
Many people have suffered heart attacks as a result of vigorous
efforts to have a bowel movement. Continued efforts to evacuate
material from the rectum increases the heart rate, blood pressure
and respiration. |
| What Does the Treatment Involve? |
A colon hydrotherapy treatment is the safe, gentle infusion
of warm filtered water into the colon (large intestine) with
no discomfort on the part of the individual. The individual
lies comfortably on a custom treatment table for approximately
45 minutes. The temperature and pressure is monitored throughout
the treatment as water is circulated into and out of the colon
without any assistance on the part of the individual. This method
provides a closed system in which waste material is eliminated
through the instrument and out the drain line, avoiding any
offensive odor arid maintaining the dignity of the individual.
Each treatment room is equipped with a private bathroom and
shower to insure the individual’s comfort.
Colon hydrotherapy is an extended and more complete form of
an enema. The colon hydrotherapy methods extend beyond the rectum
to cleanse the entire colon and offers greater cleansing and
therapeutic benefits.
The instrument design utilized for Colon Hydrotherapy allows
thorough cleansing and dis-infection following each treatment
and the instrument features a disposable unit, which eliminates
any possible contamination to the patient from a previous treatment.
The treatment is performed using minimal water pressure (approximately
2 pounds per square inch), which is well below a gravity enema.
Your physicians’ inquiry is welcome. Additional medical
data is available to your physician upon their request. With
a physician’s prescription, this procedure may be reimbursable
under some insurance policies. |
| Summary |
Good health is as much a function of our elimination status
as the quality of food we ingest. Every year 140,000 Americans
are diagnosed as having colon-rectal cancer. Of this population,
44% will die as a result of the disease. Colon cancer is the
second leading cancer killer in the U.S. following lung cancer
in both sexes. At least two million suffer from colitis; ileitis,
diverticulitis, and 100,000 Americans have a colostomy each
year. The American Cancer Society has provided evidence in recent
years that environmental agents such as: insecticides in drinking
water, drugs/hormones fed to animals, and carcinogens in the
air we breathe may play a significant role in the development
of colon úrectal cancer.
Colon Hydrotherapy addresses the cause or source of the constipation
problem. Other methods treat only the symptoms and provide temporary
relief of the problem. Colon Hydrotherapy will effectively cleanse
the colon and promote the return of regular bowel elimination.
This cleansing procedure could prevent stagnation and minimize
the exposure of (Lancer causing-agents to the colon wall. The
above combined effect may serve to rejuvenate the immunological
system and truly be the pathway to a more vibrant health! |
| The 10 Most Ask Questions About Colon Hydrotherapy |
Colon hydrotherapy is a process whereby a plastic tube is
inserted into the anus by the client, connected by a Y-joint
and two plastic hoses, all of which are disposable, through
which filtered warm water is irrigated into the large intestine
Filtered water is introduced by one hose and waste is eliminated
through the other hose. This procedure takes approximately 30-45
minutes, and this process is able to dislodge and carry toxins
out of the body. The therapeutic goals of colon hydrotherapy
are to help with constipation and eliminate old impacted stool
1. Q: Will it hurt?
A: Does it hurt to
have a bowel movement?
You will be having numerous bowel releases.
2. Q: Can I do my normal work after this session?
A: Most people do and feel relaxed and less
toxic.
3) Q: What should I eat?
A: What do you
feel like eating? Sometimes a light salad,
soup, fresh
fruit.
4. Q: Am I going to be weak?
A: Not as
a rule, Most people continue their ordinary activities.
If you feel
tired, it is because the body is rebuilding. A walk
or tub soak
will help.
5. Q: Do I need to replenish my good bacteria?
A: Your good bacteria is balanced by removing the waste.
Yes,
you could take acidophilus if you want to.
6. Q: Do I need a series?
A: I
can tell you, if you have 3 to 5 sessions you will feel the
difference
and we will see how you feel from week to week.
7. Q: Why do I get constipated when I travel?
A: New surroundings, different water, bed, food, etc. Try
breathing
better and moving exercises.
8. Q: Will I become dependant on colonics?
A: No. Because, the thought of eating sends the message to
the digestion
then, the small intestines move the bowel
along to get ready to empty to make room in the system for
the new foods.
9. Q: I don’t need to have a bowel movement now, because
you
took
everything out of me.
A: You should have
your re9ular movement on time. Colonics
remove the deeper waste in the body, not your daily
movement.
10. Q. Do I have to come back?
A: Yes I would like to see you within the next week, and will
evaluate your changes. |
| THE ONE-HOUR VACATION |
By Diane Dalbey
Want a break from your nerve-racking routine, but you don’t
have time? Want to be healthier, revitalized, refreshed, but
now isn’t the time to join a spa? Want to have younger,
clearer skin, but those expensive lotions aren’t in the
budget?
Don’t despair! There is hope. For the price of one belt-stretching
champagne brunch for two, you can have all of this without the
hangover.
A one hour colonic, or colon hydrotherapy, provides all of this
plus a terrific boost to your health and your overall sense
of well-being.
What is a colonic? A colonic is an ancient, time-honored, gentle
water cleansing of the colon. "Why cleanse the colon?”
you ask. “I never think about my colon. It’s the
tail end of my digestive tract, for heaven’s sake. Sounds
a bit gross, to tell the truth.”
Well, think for a minute. If you’ve ever eaten junk food,
fatty food, sweets, caffeine, soda pop, chemically treated and
preserved food, processed food, too much food, too little food,
in fact anything that modem culture deems edible, you will benefit
from a colonic. If you’ve ever been upset, under pressure,
depressed, confused, greatly disappointed or just steamed at
the jerk who Cut you off on the freeway; you will benefit from
a colonic,
Unfortunately, we take better care of our sewer system. But,
the fact is, just like the city sewer, the miraculous six-foot
tube we call the colon, or large intestine, determines whether
or not our body is polluted.
When the colon is doing its thing, nutrients passing into the
large intestine are reabsorbed by hundreds of fingerlike projections
called villi into all the body’s cells, whether they’re
in the brain, the liver, the skin, or any number of vital organs.
On the other hand, when the daily rigors of modern life and
diet besiege us, the colon becomes the repository of accumulated
plaque and over 36 toxins, which stick to the walls of the tract
and disable the body’s purification system. The useless
material ends up reentering our body’s cells instead of
passing on its way Talk about toxic waste! As a result we feel
and act far below our potential.
A few one-hour colonics, however, can reverse what is sometimes
a lifetime of neglect. Colonies are clean, painless, and yes,
relaxing A soothing flow of warm, pure water gently circulates
throughout the colon while the skilled colon hydrotherapist
massages atrophied muscles and clogged organs, coaxing your
body and your mind to yield the colonic’s many benefits
Soon your skin glows with warmth and vitality and you breathe
fresh deep air into forgotten pockets of your being. By the
end of the session, the body literally tingles with wellness.
New energy releases pent up toxins and the body becomes fully
relaxed, perhaps for the first time in years.
Some have called the effect a natural high. It is that for sure.
For as the colon is freed of the accumulated stresses and toxins
of daily life, it mobilizes much of the unrealized potential
we were created to enjoy.
Most of us are in the habit of only taking care of ourselves
once a year, when we leave work to get away for a couple of
weeks. But why banish wellness to an annual event? Colon hydrotherapy
accomplishes the same thing in an hour, with long-lasting results,
whenever you need it. It’s truly a mini-vacation. |
