Colon hydrotherapy effectively removes stagnant faecal material
from the colon walls, preventing the build up of these bacterial
toxins in the portal and lymphatic system, resulting in a reduced
load on the liver. In addition, the treatment removes mucous,
gas, parasites and cellular debris, facilitating peristaltic action
and better absorption of nutrients.
This natural cleansing process effectively resolves the symptoms
directly and indirectly related to dysfunction of the large intestine.
Bacteria are involved in the production of several vitamins,
including vitamin 'K' and some of the 'B' vitamins, which are
absorbed by the large intestine and stored in the liver. In addition
to vitamins, the colon absorbs large amounts of water. Unfortunately,
toxins of bacterial metabolism also enter the circulatory system.
These toxins (Indol, Skatol, Phenol, etc.) are treated by the
liver and excreted by the kidneys.
Colon bacteria will ferment starches releasing hydrogen and methane
gasses which are absorbed and excreted through the lungs. Thus,
halitosis may be a symptom of a stagnant fermenting colon. Intestinal
toxaemia may further result in headaches, allergies, irritability,
malnutrition and potentially lead to an overall lowering of an
individual's immunological defence mechanism.
Intestinal stasis can enhance the systemic absorption of bacteria
and their toxins. The prolonged retention of food residues, bile,
etc., results in increased numbers of parasitic bacteria present
in the colon. Some of the colon's normal flora may become pathogenic
under these stagnant or putrefactive conditions. For example,
streptococcus and staphylococcus . . . which are part of the normal
flora of the large intestine . . . under the above conditions,
could enter the systemic circulation and be a potential source
of disease.
It is my own personal and professional opinion that colon hydrotherapy
is one of the most valuable treatment modalities offered at our
clinic . . . It may be a valuable solution by itself or in conjunction
with an integrated metabolic program for a myriad of health problems.

It is estimated
that 200 million people are infected by intestinal
parasites.

This faecal encrustation interferes with -- if it does
not actually prevent -- the infusion of the necessary
intestinal flora for colon lubrication, the formation
of peristaltic waves for evacuation purposes, and the
absorption and use of the additional nutritional elements
present in the waste residue coming into the colon from
the small intestine.
It does not require much imagination to perceive that
the adhesive quality of the faeces in the colon is readily
susceptible to creating a coating on the inside of the
lining or wall of the colon, resembling a layer of plaster
in its consistency. It is equally obvious that such a
coating . . . in preventing the normal functioning of
the colon . . . has the insidious effect of becoming a
generator of toxicity, to the detriment of health, happiness
and longevity.
When the bowel is toxic it can harbour an amazing variety
of very harmful bacteria and parasites. It's interesting
to note that worms outrank cancer as man's deadliest enemy
on a world-wide basis . . . It is estimated that 200 million
people are infected by these intestinal parasites.
These worms range in size from microscopic single-celled
animals to twenty-foot-long tapeworms! These parasites
kill more people annually than does cancer. One in four
people in the world today are infected by roundworms.
The United States is not immune to these parasites. The
number of parasite cases has increased in the past few
years.
Colon Hydrotherapy and its Clinical Applications
Colon irrigation may help greatly in enhancing the ability
to absorb
many vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
