After going through a 14-day colon cleansing program myself and saw its benefits first hand, I took up a course on colon therapy. This was 7 years ago and I have been practicing this since then. It is extremely fulfilling for me to see clients experiencing a "new lease" of life after having completed their cleansing programs. Colon cleansing is literary an internal bath (using water with coffee, or apple cider and garlic) of the colon to wash out collected wastes from your body system. We need to clean our colon often because the colon is capable of accumulating layers and layers of hardened toxic faeces from undigested foods that had been fermented and putrefied. These toxics can be damaging and it limits our body to absorb sufficient nutrition. It is common nowadays that you may lack nutrition even when you consume a lot of supplements. Your body's absorption function is undermined due to modern living style. Nutritional deficiency is one of the main causes for most diseases which include heart problem, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Not to mention, a colon full of toxic wastes will lead to colon cancer tool. Colon cleansing is not new. My friends in their late 50s and 60s now, said their parents or grandparents would give them "broklax" (looks like chocolates) for detox as soon as school holidays begin. Colon cleansing is a natural procedure done by animals as well. Birds like stocks or herons were found cleaning their internals by inserting water into their bottom using their long beaks. I remember my dog ate grass when he was sick and later passed out a whole load of wastes. There a several colon cleansing methods: 1. Enema: You can easily buy a set from any pharmacy. It may come in a 4-8 oz. plastic bottle with a small tip, or a 2-quart bag with a long tube and rectal tip. It is administered while lying on your side or on all fours on the floor. The rectal tip is lubricated and inserted into the rectum. The plastic bottle enema is squeezed to release the water into the bowel; or the hanging bag and tubing enema uses gravity to allow water into the bowel. Once the water is in, massage the abdomen, you then get up, sits or squat on the toilet to release. Enema is good for travel and handy for emergencies but can be messy. Only a small amount of water can enter the bowel each time. Repeated process of inserting the tip can be inconvenient and painful, especially for those who have hemorrhoids. Using enema is time consuming and ineffective, as the water only reaches the lower bowel.
2. Colon Hydrotherapy: This method is administered by a certified colon hydro-therapist who controls a machine that forces water into the bowel. A 1-inch diameter sized speculum is inserted into the rectum. It has one side that allows water to enter the bowel and the other side allows evacuation of fecal matter. The therapist controls the water flow, its pressure and the release of your colonic irrigation. They help massage for easy release of toxins from the lymphs and abdomen. You may feel uneasy having someone in the room with you during your colonic, and these sessions can be costly. 3. Colema: This is a cross between colon irrigation and enema, founded by Dr Bernard Jensen. You can do it in the comfort of your own home using a special designed colema board. One end of the board is placed on a chair and the other on the toilet bowl. A 5-gallon bucket is place on the counter or rack about 3-4 ft high above the board. A tube is placed in the bucket, extended to the board where is it assembled through a splash shield. You lie on the board on your back with knees bent. Your buttocks are placed up against the board's splash shield. A rectal tube (size of a pencil) is lubricated and inserted into the rectum about 3 inches ONCE only during the entire process. You need not remove it from the rectum for evacuation as fecal matter/waste are released around the rectal tip. A clamp controls the syphoned water from the bucket. An average colon can hold up to 2 quarts of water at a time. Using colema frees your hands to massage your abdomen as water enters the bowel. When you want to release, just relax. Water and fecal matter will flow out around the tip into the toilet. This process is repeated until the bucket of water is empty. 4. Laxatives: Laxatives are usually poisons and irritants to stimulate evacuation. These should be used sparingly and with caution. Elimination can be harsh because the stimulated colon, in its process to get rid these poisonous substance, may push out hardened and compacted wastes verses gentle evacuation of loosened and softened fecal matters from using colonics (as described above). Thus, the use of laxatives do not help restore the natural bowel movement and natural muscle tone, but instead will upset the delicate eliminative mechanism of the colon and weaken its muscle. 5. Herbs: Herbs do help cleanse the colon, but they are often too harsh and may stress the organs and the immune system - especially for those who may already have a weakened and low immune system. Your body needs a lot of rest during a cleansing program, and not added undue stress. A one-time use of herbal laxative may be used to "jump start" a cleansing program, but this is usually used only for those who are extremely constipated or have excessively sluggish bowel elimination.
BENEFITS OF COLEMA Enhanced bowel movement The erroneous belief of most people is that having one bowel movement a day is enough. Little do they realize that many people fall behind an average of 10 meals in regard to defecation, and the bulk of waste is commonly retained in the weakened and distended areas of the colon. Colon cleansing helps loosen these fecal matter and make it flow, restores energy and vitality in the under-active parts of the gastrointestinal track. You may find the fecal matter yukky in its appearance, color, consistency and smell. It is also hard to believe that these are mucus washed off from the thick intestinal wall - viscous and hard-looking that create the proliferation of germs and diseases, and an ideal breeding nest for Bacillus Coli bacteria that causes chronic infections in the whole digestive system and the rest of the body systems. Restore intestinal function When wastes are literarily washed out, the intestinal wall is now able to absorb nutrients and its muscles get stronger and thus able to function effectively. Colon cleansing allows easy absorption of nutrients than any known procedure. A toxic laden colon becomes lazy and depleted of energy and tone. Restore functions of other elimination channels A toxic choked colon overload the functions of other organs. Colon cleansing helps clean up other eliminative channels such as the lungs, skin, kidneys, lymphatic system - including the mouth, nose, ears, vagina. All these channels must function well to handle toxic elimination effectively. You will notice that skin problems, body odor and water retention begin to subside immediately. Improve/Restore mental health Colon cleansing strengthen the whole nervous system and mental processes, which had been badly affected by fatigue and strains due to self-intoxication. Sleep is greatly improved. Healthy weight loss This is great news to those who are struggling with weight issues. Colon cleansing is the fastest and a healthy way to shed off those unwanted pounds, especially for those whose weight problem is due to organic self-intoxication that affects digestion and absorption of nutrients from foods or from special diets. Rejuvenation/Longevity Colon cleansing improves blood circulation. This enables every cell, tissue and vital organs to receive the necessary nutrients and also remove wastes. Old cells/tissues can be replaced by new ones efficiently and quickly, thus delaying aging or reversing aging. You can have a vibrant, energetic, mentally alert and possibly a new view of life altogether.
Once you have completed a cleansing program, you would want to stay clean and healthy. The next step is to adopt a new diet plan, healthy living habits and lifestyle that supports your daily activities. Colon cleansing could be considered as an anti-aging program. IN SUMMARY, colon cleansing is a deep tissue cleansing program for the whole body. Colema is a simple, painless, reliable and safe technique without any side effects. It is an essential therapy to eliminate the root cause of organic self-intoxication, a significant curative and preventive agent for numerous pathologies and a natural system to make tissue cleaning easier. Dr. V.E. Irons, a pioneer in colon cleansing theory and activity, once said : "I challenge the world that you couldn't find in the USA, 1000 people who don't have a clogged colon. Just let me get them on a Cleansing Program and we will show any challengers what we mean. We will let them see, feel and even hold in their hands exactly what has been thickening, hardening, and decaying in their colon for years, causing all types of dis-ease."
