How To Prepare For
Colonic Hydrotherapy: A day or two before you are having a colonic, the more fresh and raw
food that you eat the better your results will be. Cutting out dairy
products, animal protein, seafood, coffee, alcohol, salt, sugar, and
gluten or mucus-forming foods such as wheat, pasta or bread products
will benefit your experience.
Brown rice and millet, baked yams or squash, bean salad or soups,
soaked raw unsalted nuts and seeds are recommended. This vegan diet is
nourishing yet cleansing for all people. However if you normally eat a
lot of protein, you may want to ease yourself slowly into this vegan
diet and eat some ocean fish or free range eggs 2-3 times per week.
Unpasturized (raw) fruit and vegetable juices help the intestine
detoxify as well as green leafy vegetables and chlorophyll-rich foods
such as algae, alfalfa, broccoli, kale and of course, raw organic
salads. A word about organic- support sustainable agriculture and
cherish your body by eating only certified organic foods. Pesticides
are toxic and toxicity is what we want out of your body!
Eat lightly or nothing in the 2 hours before a colonic. Food steals
energy from the intestine. If you must eat, have fruit or drink
vegetable broth, water or herb tea.
Eating immediately after a colonic is not recommended but when
necessary eat lightly, eat slowly and chew well. Your next meal should
be vegetable based meal like soup, salad or steamed veggies and
grains Gas may also be caused by imbalanced PH in the colon. Replenishing
the healthy intestinal flora with an acidophilus supplement after each
colonic will help to restore the proper PH.
-Your first colonic can be a pleasant experience, keep in mind to
relax the belly and breathe deeply throughout. A positive mental
attitude contributes greatly to a successful colonic! Why Cleanse the Colon?
In today's society the refined foods we eat lack the bulk and fibre to
create the cleansing and peristaltic motion which facilitates the
movement of the food through the colon. High intake of salt and sugar,
refined flour, hardened fats, caffeine, stress, antibiotics, and
chronic dehydration all contribute to constipation and bowel
disorders.
When cooked, devitalized food, salt and protein consumption is too
high, plaque will adhere to the walls through the action of ionization
and thus cover over the villi (minute intestinal projections which
pick up nourishment from the food we eat).
When these are covered over for many years the plaque becomes putrid and
releases toxic, foul poisons back into the portal vein, which takes it
to the liver.
The poison is circulated throughout the entire system, weakening all
the main organs of the body, and providing "homes" for parasites. Benefits of Colonics:
Colonics improve circulation by increasing the absorption of water
through the large intestine which helps to bathe cells, flush toxins
(helping in cases of uremia and toxemia), and cleanse the kidneys and
skin as well as the bowel.
Colonics help to eliminate the poisons of putrifaction from the colon
and large intestines and allow the healthy bacteria to flourish again.
A series of colon irrigation treatments may increase your colon’s tone
and function while removing excessive mucous, abnormal bacteria, and
parasites.
The result? A greater feeling of youth and well-being, better memory,
clearer skin, and possibly, a renewed sense of lightness and clarity!
Through prevention and cleansing our intestines, we keep our
elimination channels open. If one remains clean and healthy within,
disease will not manifest. Side effects of a
poor functioning colon:
"The skin becomes sallow, wrinkled and unhealthy. The digestive organs
become overworked and bloated. The lungs become congested and breath
has a foul odor. The heart is overworked and becomes weak. We feel and
look old, our glands become tired. We lack enthusiasm and sexual
desire." Signs of
