Since the bowel or colon is the sewage system of the body it is the first place we start to cleanse. By opening up the bowel and letting toxins and congestion become released then the other organs can begin the release into the bowel. One of the most important and effective ways to cleanse the colon is through colon hydrotherapy or colonics.

Here is the 64 million dollar question . The average person takes a year or two to cleanse out his/her colon. The average person has ten or more pounds of impacted feces in their colon. I hope I can impresses upon you that it is crucial to be patient, and persistent with your body. Many of us have taken years to get in this unhealthy condition and it cannot be undone in just a few weeks or months.

When cleansing the body of old fecal matter and eliminating parasites, gas and toxins can be produced. Many people who have been suffering from auto-intoxication ( self poisoning) probably their whole life will produce foul smelling gases as old fecal material becomes stirred up and activated. I use the example of a pond. The mud settles down to the bottom of the pond and the water appears somewhat clean. When you walk through the pond it stirs up all the water and it becomes very cloudy & murky. Herbs stir up old fecal matter and it can produce foul smelling gas & bloating. As your body gets more cleansed this will subside. Everyone in your household will become very excited when this subsides.

Colon Hydrotherapy is clean and relaxing. A soothing flow of filtered, temperature-controlled water gently circulates throughout the colon coaxing your body to yield the digested toxins and waste that may have built up inside. Colon Hydrotherapy is an ancient, time-honored, gentle water cleansing of the colon, by way of a sterile-disposable rectal tube or speculum. Water in -fecal matter flushed out. A colonic machine is attached to a wall and directly linked to the sewer system. A colonic is facilitated by a trained colon hygienist who administers and regulates the flow of water into the bowel. Most clients state that a colonic is more comfortable than they had first imagined. Other modalities that may also be provided during a colonic are reflexology points on the feet, lymphatic massage points, heat lamp, and aromatherapy oils to aid the body in releasing toxins. The treatment lasts for about 45 to 60 minutes Sometimes additives may be added at the end of each session such as bifidus.

Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure used to assist, the body for a wide variety of different colon related conditions. By re-toning the bowel wall & improving colon functions, the entire body is able to function more efficiently.

Common effects are: sinus drainage, a loosening of mucus in the lungs, improved range of motion, as well as skin tightening, feeling younger, clearing up of acne and skin conditions, posture automatically improving, abdomen softening and getting smaller, a relief from headaches, less fatigue and improving bowel function. Colon hydrotherapy works to soothe and tone the colon helping it to eliminate more efficiently. The function as a whole reduces the burden on other organs and the lymphatic system .The main benefit received by releasing the old toxic waste is that we remove the number one source of disease in the body. The bowel then works more efficiently in the elimination of waste, and nutrient absorption is improved.

Using an enema you are missing about four feet of the colon. During a colonic the water goes all the way through 5ft of the colon or bowel to the the illeoceal valve ( this is where the small and large intestine meet) Laxatives are an irritant to the body. Therefore, the body produces a thin, watery substance that goes through the colon and leaves behind impacted toxins and waste on the walls of the colon. Laxatives can also become very habit forming.

J. Waddington, M.D. States that there is no resemblance of one (meaning an enema) to the other (meaning a colonic), except that both procedures begin by the injection of fluid into the rectum and sigmoid colon."

Enemas use single, high volume, pressurized fills, fatiguing the colon. Colon Hydrotherapy, on the other hand, involves repeated inflow & outflow of filtered, temperature controlled water, to slowly dissolve accumulated toxic material. This gently repeated filling replaced the need for pressure. Less pressure is used than when " bearing down" during bowel movements. Colon Hydrotherapy is far more effective & comfortable. They also exercise the colon, weakened by poor bowel habits & burdensome foods. Unlike enemas, no strain is exerted on the anus, preventing aggravation to hemorrhoids.

Colon Hydrotherapy retrains the muscle or the bowel to regain strength. The bowel muscle is forced to work against the water providing resistance much like a weight provides resistance against muscle in body building. I tell clients that colonics are like colon aerobics.

If your bowel is toxic chances are you do not have any or very much good intestinal flora to begin with. It is much like gardening. If you do not prepare the soil and fertilize the ground plants will not live. In the bowel we have to make the conditions favorable for bifidophilus & acidophilus cultures to populate in the colon. Removing toxic material and gases is the first step. Replenishing the good bacteria can be accomplished by oral supplementation and by adding bididus as an additive in a colonic treatment.

A colonic is critically important during a cleansing and detoxification program because it keeps the body from reabsorbing toxins back into the body. Let me explain. As you are taking herbs and supplements to detoxify your body you can be overloaded with releasing toxins. If these increased toxins are not effectively removed from the body quickly via the bowel with colonics toxins will be reabsorbed into the bloodstream and carried throughout the whole body causing such discomforts as malaise,nausea, headaches, joint and muscle aches, and foul smelling breath. Detoxification and cleansing can cause some healing discomforts but colonics will keep those discomforts to minimum.

I will generally suggest a series of 6 to 10 colonics at the beginning of Loree's Bowel blaster program to really get things really moving, because that is the point of all this effort is to blast that crud off the bowel wall, right? Okay well lets go out and kick some butt.....Actually your own butt!!!! The colonics will help remove the fecal material that is being loosened up by the cleansing drink. Then, I will suggest a colonic at least once to twice a month for maintenance and monitor your progress which could take up to a year.

Our goal here is to expel these long ropey snaky black gunk as a result of this cleansing process. Remember, it took me 1 1/2 years to get my colon clean we have to have patience with our bodies.

I love Covert Bailey's ( the fitness guru of the Fit or Fat fame) response when asked by clients how long will it take them to get fit. His answer is "How many pieces of string will it take to reach the moon?" There are so many factors that determine a persons state of health it is hard to predict when a person's colon will be cleaned of old fecal matter. Clients always ask me how many colonics until they are cleaned out. Hell if I know...I am not trying to be flip here but how much milk did you drink, how many hamburgers, or meals of macaroni & cheese did you eat in your lifetime...do you get my point. The ultimate goal here is to drop that mucous lining if it takes 10 colonics or a hundred. You should commit to that goal and realize that your life depends on it.

Just some of the symptoms of parasitic involvement are constipation, Diarrhea, Gas & Bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, joint and muscle aches and pains, anemia, allergy, skin conditions, granulomas, nervousness, sleep disturbances, Teeth grinding, chronic fatigue, and immune dysfunction. The most common symptom is NO SYMPTOMS at all.

Treatment of parasitic infection must be geared to eradicating the parasites, rather than relieving the symptoms of infection. If the parasites are not eradicated, the infection will continue to cause untold damage to the system. Given a proper environment, a parasite colony can flourish to sometimes fatal proportions.

Our goal here is to remove the parasites from the system in conjunction with a bowel & gastrointestinal cleansing program. Because many parasites become embedded in the intestinal wall, no type of herbs can effectively reach them until the mucus and encrusted waste matter overlying the worms are softened. The reason that bowel cleansing is vitally important is that as the parasites are dying off in our bodies they give off very toxic and poisons substances. To avoid reabsorbing these poisons into our system any further, the use of herbs, colonics, and cleansing programs such as Loree's Bowel Blaster are essential.

"A healing crisis is an acute reaction resulting from the ascendance of Nature's healing forces over disease conditions. Its tendency is toward recovery, and it is, therefore, in conformity with Nature's constructive principle."

Quoted from a catechism of Naturopathy
The Healing crisis works on the principal of Herings Law of Cure Herings law of cure states:

"All Cure starts from within out and from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared."

A good philosophy is part of getting well. It brings cheerfulness, happiness, and determination. "Where is Philosophy?" The person that nurtures hatefulness, destructive ideas, misery and other negative feelings is sowing the seeds of disease, not health. Such an individual will experience difficulty in healing. We must reevaluate and restructure the nourishment that goes into the mind as well as what goes into the body.

A healing crisis is the result of an industrious effort of every organ in the body to eliminate waste products and set the stage for regeneration. Through this constructive process toward health, old tissues are replaced with new. A disease crisis, on the other hand, is not a natural one; every organ in the body works against it, rather than with it as in the healing crisis. A healing crisis cannot be brought about without proper diet, or fasting.

The experience of going through a healing crisis will seem very much like having disease because of re-experiencing disease symptoms; but there is a very important distinction-elimination. In the healing crisis, the elimination is perfect. The bowel movement is natural and all the eliminative organs are doing their part.

Whenever catarrh (mucus) and other forms of waste have been stored in the body are now in a dissolve, free-flowing state, and a cleansing, purifying process is under way.
