What is hydrocolonotherapy?

Hydrocolonotherapy, or colon lavage, is an innovative procedure for cleansing the entire body. Performed by our certified medical staff, under sterile conditions, it will get rid of constipation, bloating, skin problems, bad breath, fatigue, chronic headaches and parasites.

 

In our cultural circle excretory functions are still a sensitive, embarrassing, sometimes even taboo subject. People are not able to talk openly about these kinds of problems, even if they concern themselves. Many people are unaware of the benefits of a colon lavage procedure. So let us introduce one of the oldest and most effective natural methods of prevention and restoration of health. Currently, this treatment is referred to as hydrocolonotherapy. Cleansing the body and treating the large intestine with enemas, however, is known and used for thousands of years, in various regions of the world, e.g. in China or ancient Egypt. In the early years of the twentieth century, this procedure was one of the basic methods of treatment, and colonic lavage devices were found in doctors’ offices as often as ECG devices are today. Numerous publications from those years confirm the effectiveness of this form of therapy. This was soon followed by a fascination with advances in antibiotic therapy, pharmacology and surgery. The practices of intestinal cleansing, on the other hand, were considered archaic and have been “forgotten” for many years. Nowadays they are back in favour and are becoming more and more popular. Many progressive doctors recommend hydrocolonotherapy as an adjunct to other treatments. This procedure is performed in medical clinics, both beauty and wellness salons around the world. It consists in gently introducing crystal clear water into the large intestine and then releasing it in order to remove from the body the food remains accumulated in the form of toxic deposits, faecal stones, mould, fungi, parasites, gases, bacteria, etc. Why should we actually use this treatment? Because it is crucial to the health and functioning of the entire body. The large intestine has several basic functions. First of all – absorption. This is where glucose, amino acids, vitamins, mineral salts and electrolytes, and most importantly, about 80% of water are absorbed (that’s why during constipation fecal matter can be so hard that it scratches the intestinal wall from the inside, causing numerous wounds, which healing in the environment where putrefying bacterial flora is most common, is basically impossible). The second important function of the large intestine in our body is the evacuation function, i.e. the removal of poisonous products of metabolism. Severely disturbed intestinal peristalsis makes the intestine resemble a ticking time bomb. Remember! – Fermenting, long-lasting stool and protracted putrefaction processes create an environment conducive to the development of various types of parasites, including: pinworms, human roundworms, lamblia and tapeworms. Thus, the intestine can become a reservoir of dangerous toxins, which, escaping outside of it, wreak havoc in the body and cause self-poisoning. Some doctors claim, that the cause of 90% of currently known diseases is the poisoning with toxins from the large intestine. It is also a kind of furnace (produces a temperature of about 40.55 degrees C), which heats not only the organs of the abdominal cavity, but through the circulatory system – the entire body, so that we maintain our constant body temperature. Decrease of bowel temperature by 2 degrees C causes that our hands and feet farthest from the heart can be cold all the time. Chemical and energetic reactions take place in it, and what I think is most important, the large intestine is largely responsible for our immunity. Peyer’s patches located therein produce immune bodies thanks to which we have a chance to repel pathogens (viruses and bacteria), toxins and allergens that attack us. If any of the above mentioned and described functions is disturbed, then after some time the intestine stops working, deforms and stretches. As a consequence, its pathology occurs, which is accompanied by the effect of squeezing and displacement from their places of other organs causing the feeling of lower abdominal pain and general discomfort.

 

Colonic hydrocolonotherapy is one of the most valuable holistic healing aids available to modern man. It provides relief from many ailments and most importantly is an integral part of your health care program.

 

And that’s why the functioning of our body largely depends on the work of the intestines and their condition. People who receive hydrocolon therapy are healthier, less likely to suffer from migraines, bloating, high blood pressure or even depression. This is a great preventative measure that we heartily recommend to you!

 

 

We would also like to dispel some myths and false information related to this procedure. Here are some basics that you should know. Above all, deep colon lavage is performed using professional medical equipment under the supervision of a physiotherapist or doctor. Often elements of abdominal massage and foot reflexology are used for complete relaxation prior to treatment. It is also important to know that it is completely painless (gentle contractions of the colon muscles occur during), odorless, sterile, and uncomfortable for the patient!  The time you should allow yourself for the first visit to the office is about 1h 20 minutes (because there is always an interview with the patient). However, the optimal duration of the treatment itself is 45 minutes. The amount of water introduced depends on the patient’s tolerance. Most often it does not exceed 1-2 glasses at a time. Therefore, the pressure that is produced by the apparatus during colonic lavage is low (less than during a bowel movement) and is not associated with any risk. The large intestine is very flexible and prone to stretching. Not only the pressure, but also the water is adapted to the temperature of the human body, so you will not feel any discomfort during this treatment. This specialist device is equipped with two filters (carbon and mechanical) which eliminate harmful chemical compounds in water and a UV lamp that inactivates approximately 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Hydrocolonotherapy, through the continuous exchange of water and its flowing nature, facilitates the cleansing of the colon along its entire length, up to the appendix and the ileocecal valve. Thanks to this valve, the masses do not back up into the small intestine, which is why the colon is an organ that is great for flushing. This treatment effectively removes deposits from the walls of the large intestine, preventing the formation of toxins that are a byproduct of the putrefying bacteria found there, resulting in less strain on the liver and other vital body organs. Additionally, we get rid of excess mucus, gas, parasites, fungi, fecal stones, dangerous mold, and dead cells. Remember that infusions not only detoxify the body, but first of all cause a gentle massage of the intestine from the inside, stimulating it to work on its own. The large intestine of people reporting constipation in the vast majority is already lazy. This phenomenon is usually the result of regularly ignoring the need to have a bowel movement or an improper diet. The treatment usually improves completely disturbed peristalsis and impaired absorption. That is why after the treatment most patients speak about the impression of detoxification, lightness, freshness, cleanliness, a surge of positive energy and a desire to live. They improve their mental functioning and sharpen their senses. And what is very important, after hydrocolonotherapy we can function normally and perform all daily activities (e.g. going to work). Is there a risk of complete flushing out of the bacterial flora? It’s absolutely impossible!  There is a huge amount of bacteria in the colon that makes us alive. Unfortunately, most of them, due to improper nutrition, often in excess of taking a lot of drugs especially antibiotics, etc. are mainly anaerobic bacteria, otherwise known as putrefactive (thanks to them toxins are formed). And it is the purpose of hydrocolonotherapy to flush it out and to get the beneficial bacteria e.g. Lactobacillus bifidus to predominate over putrefactive bacteria e.g. Streptococcus faecalis. To achieve the intended healthy advantage after each treatment, it is recommended to use an all-natural, ready-made formula for a few consecutive days to ensure the proper balance of microflora. These are probiotic strains of lactic acid bacteria, e.g. Nutriplant, Biopron 9 or Dicoflor 60, which once introduced to the digestive tract multiply by themselves.  How many treatments should the patient have? It all depends on what we want to achieve and what condition our large intestine is in. If it’s going to be a prophylaxis, for a person who wants to use the procedure for the first time, I recommend making at least two to three visits to the office at an interval of one week. If we have problems then surely there should be more treatments. In general, for your own protection, you should get hydrocolon therapy once a year. Remember that prevention is better than cure!

 

Research has shown that an average person carries from 2 to even 8 kg of old, rotting food remains, which permanently adhere to the walls of the large intestine. Taking into account the fact that, we eat up to 2 kg (and some of us even more) of food a day, we eat mostly fast food, express soups, we eat in a hurry and, most of all, we do not follow the basics, that is eating according to our blood group (I will write about it in the article), we can be sure that the mucous membrane of our large intestine gradually becomes covered with undigested food. Add to that irregular bowel movements (constipation) and excess of protein products such as meat and dairy products and the pathology is ready. Dilated, poorly contracting intestine is not able to remove hardened fecal masses from the body, which over time may even concretize it. Intestinal absorption is then very low, so you can spend a fortune on health foods, vitamins, herbs, preparations without effect! Relatively little is said about the fact that all deposits located in particular sections of the colon affect the condition of certain organs of our body, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, eyes, etc. After all, it is a well-known view in reflexology that there are reflex points on the hands, feet and ears corresponding to our organs. However, not everyone knows that they also occur on the colon.
